being bridal in brooklyn {brooklyn, ny}

Last weekend I took a trip on my very first Amtrak train...it was AMAZING!  For years I have been going to New York City by way of bus and it would take me 6+ hours.  Last year I tried flying...it took just as long because the airport is nowhere near Brooklyn!  By taking the train I was actually able to eat dinner with my friend Nicole and still have time to stay up late and giggle!  The purpose of my trip was to accept my post as Awesome Friend of Honor, more commonly known as Main of Honor, and to cry as she tried on the IT dress.  All things were successful :)  I got to meet the other bridesmaids and the fiance's mother, all of whom I LOVE!  I also got to catch up with Mama Confrey and secretively plan future bridal activities ;)

So when I wasn't being bridal in Brooklyn...I got to check out a farmer's market, the boardwalk at Coney Island and I even took in a Brooklyn Cyclones game...complete with fireworks!!  Lastly, I would like to give a shout out to Wafels & Dinges for providing me with my most delicious and memorable waffle experience!

Everyone needs a vacation! {burlington, vt}

Today I am off to shoot a wedding in Rhode Island with my friend Megan.  This is our first time professionally shooting together and I can't wait!  I photographed Megan a few months back.  Check out her beautiful face here!  And stay tuned for a sneak peek of the wedding!!

Last week, Matt and I took a much needed vacation to Vermont. We were lucky enough to be able to house sit for my parents while they were on vacation.  A perfect scenario for a vacationer on a budget.  The only kick was that I had to get up every day at 6am to take little old Simon out.  He is not as well trained as Rupert...to sleep until 10! Haha  But once that was taken care of we had a great time!  All week we did things I've never done or haven't done in years.  And we even got to spend some quality time with my grandparents :)

Don't forget to take a break yourself!

Vibrant City {the florida keys}

In between rain storms and wind storms we were able to see a great deal of Key West, the Upper Keys and the Everglades.  The area is so full of life with it's passionate people, colorful signs and beautiful natural settings.  Here are a few of my favorite moments!
