My parent’s house in CT has seen it’s fair share of bridal showers (I think it was 7 by our last count?)!  But, this weekend it was host to one more, Kelly’s… and Kelly’s family & bridesmaids really outdid themselves, so I had to share some of the details with you! enjoy!

And of course, if you know my mom, you know that she has quite the collection of wedding books & antiques, which really added to the shower theme!

…and some “wedding related” books as well!! These two might be my favorite of the whole day!

all the guests were asked to give some advise to Kelly & Pat… here’s two of my favorites!

Kelly, ready for the kitchen!!

the bridal party!

and no shower would be complete without without the valets! :)

Happy Tuesday!

Jill and I grew up in the same town, went to the same high school, and were teammates on the same softball team.  So, needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled when she asked me to shoot her engagement photos!  I couldn’t wait to meet Dan, see what he was like and see what they were like as a couple.  We met in Hamden (our good old home town) at one of my new favorite locations (it also happens to be the location where I did my very own “Wear it Again” session!) the day after Thanksgiving for a chilly post-turkey e-session!

Jill and Dan compliment each other perfectly… they are so effortless and genuine in their interactions.  After spending a few hours with these two it seemed like Jill had always been with Dan, I couldn’t picture her without him or vice-versa!

I might add Jill was a total trooper on this shoot, willing to do whatever it took for the prefect shot/location, hiking up and down hills 8 months pregnant – that’s right, ladies! – 8 months!  …and Dan was such a gentleman helping her along the way.  Since this shoot, Jill and Dan have welcomed their precious little baby girl into the world, Remy Madison (born 1/8/11, 6:03am, 7 lbs 2 oz)! And from what I can tell from the pictures on Facebook she as cute as a button and one lucky girl for having such rock star parents!

Okay, enough chatter – meet Jill & Dan (and Remy, too!)

Jill, you are stunning!! Way to totally kill it!!

This is one of my faves, Dan workin’ the camera!

Another favorite!! How cute are these two??? Seriously!

LOVE Jill’s antique ring!

I think this one is my favorite of the whole day…. don’t know why, but it just is.

Remy!

Talk about a blue sky!  Not one bit of photoshop here!

J&D, SO much fun to shoot with you!!!  I know you two are going to be amazing parents!  Hope you love your images and I can’t wait to meet Remy soon!!! xo

We had such an killer Trash the Dress session a few weeks ago, I seriously couldn’t even stop editing!  But, since this is Lauren’s birthday week I figured this would be the best time to tear myself away from editing to post some of this…
