family life: Bermuda Workshop with Mom + Moose Peterson

3.25.13

For the last couple of years my lovely mom and I have been meeting up at Photoshop World to have some mother/daughter time and to learn a little something about photography. This year we decided to break tradition and take a little photography workshop together. She was interested in learning more about vacation and nature photography, so we hired wildlife extraordinaire photographer Moose Peterson and his wife, Sharon, aka Mrs. Moose to meet us on the island.
Bermuda is an absolutely gorgeous country and it was a perfect destination for our trip. It was super fun-filled and Moose was wonderful to my mom. I think she learned a ton! I was very happy to be along and enjoyed every second of it! I probably learned a thing or two as well.:)
Here are a few photos to start with and I’ll post some more later.
Have a wonderful week! xo Daria

engaged: Danielle + Matt: Lake Placid, New York

3.18.13

Andy and I met up with the adorable Danielle + Matt in Lake Placid on a gorgeous winter day recently. Their family has a lovely place in the area, so we thought it would be fun to start the session with their sweet dog Whistler right in their “backyard” which was the frozen, snow covered lake! We had a full agenda of winter activities and we clicked away as they ice skated, sledded, giggled and smooched.;-)We thawed out at the end of their session at their favorite spot, the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery. SO much fun!!

They will be celebrating their wedding festivities at the Whiteface Club and Resort later this year and we can’t wait to be a part of it!!

Hi friends! We’ve obviously been very busy, being as the blog has been so sad and lonely for a while. It will be quiet a bit longer as we are off for Thanksgiving week to Disney World and to visit some family in Florida. We hope you and your family have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. See you here again soon!!

engaged: Jessica + Andy: Neon Boneyard, Las Vegas

8.17.12

 

Hey strangers, remember us? The world’s worst bloggers? Maybe not the worst on the planet, but perhaps in the top ten. Or is it the bottom ten? Let me just tell you…life definitely gets in the way of blogging.  It’s just crazy. But I keep bumping into people who say…I just love your blog. And every time I hear this it makes me cringe a little. Ok, a lot, because we have zillions of gorgeous, fun things to post and they are sitting around getting dusty. so I’m going to try…key word…TRY…to be here more consistently. Let’s start with this super fun engagement session and zig zag around a bit until we catch up. It will be fun and completely epic!!

Jessica + Andy invited us out to sunny Las Vegas in January to photograph their wedding festivities. We started with an e-session at the Neon Boneyard which is a very funky collection of old and vintage signs from around the strip. It was a bit tricky as the only time we could get in was the sunniest part of the day. In case you haven’t been to the dessert before, the sun is rather intense. But we worked around it and thankfully our couple handled it like rock stars! By the way, if you’re a photographer and hope to take photos here, you’ve got to make arrangements way in advance for this opportunity. The website has all the details.

On with the show…
Fun with shadows.

A few of the vintage signs on the property and near by.Andy and Jessica have so much fun together!Fierce. Way fierce.Jessica + Andy had a little bit of a shoe obsession. More on that in their wedding post. In any case, we found some fabulous red signs to stand by to make their shoes look extra cute.:)Fun with the sun!Love is everywhere…Since we were in Vegas, we simply had to make a quick stop for a photo like this.;)xox
