This coming Saturday, two incredible people are getting married! John
Michael McDade is marrying Heather Marino! Patrick and I are so excited
for their wedding on Saturday!

Ellicott City has some great places. The Wareheim family, cousins and all, met me near Frederick Road and Centennial Lane to update their family pictures. They all looked SO sharp… even the toddler who was not happy to be there.  

This past Sunday, Patrick and I met up with our friends Tyler and Rachael Restrick to photograph them, and Rachael’s big baby belly! 

A month ago today, we (a group of bridesmaids) threw a shower for
Lauren, my future sister-in-law. She is marrying my brother on September
29th, almost a month away!

Every summer our family ventures off to what we feel like is heaven on earth. We drive 12 hours north and find ourselves isolated in a cabin, 15 feet from a crystal clear lake.  We don’t like sharing where exactly we go, as its sacred and precious to us… and we like it that way, free from tourists and lake hunters.

A few friends have been inquiring about how Patrick is doing with all things baseball. The answer… incredible.

To bring you up to date, Wink Nolan is in Colorado this summer, playing for the Trinidad Triggers, a professional baseball team in the Pecos League, an independent baseball league out in the mid-west.

 

I spent a week in Deposit, New York, helping my big sister (the oldest of 6 of us)  get ready for her big day. Katie got married to Matt last Saturday, June 15th. Read more and see all the pictures!

This exact week last year, I flew out to New Mexico to stay with Patrick
and his host family in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where Patrick was
playing ball with an independent team there all summer.

In January of 2012, Lindsey had Summit… I got to witness her birth and
am so thankful Lindsey asked me to be there. Summit is 18 months now,
and I can’t even believe it. I wanted to rewind a year and a half ago to
the day we surprised Lindsey for a Baby Shower, which was a few days
before she went into labor. She thought she was having a double date
with Patrick, Cameron, and I… little did she know she was about to be
SHOWERED!

Elaine and Tyler I’ve known since high school and youth group! They got married June 1st, and I had the honor of photographing them! They looked so happy!
