Under the big tree








After a string of rainy days in Sullivan County it ended up being a great day for portraits earlier this month in Carlisle for the Walter, Dudley, Brooks and Farmer families. What a great spot for some picture fun. Everybody looked awesome and we ended up with some great shots. A fun group!

Happy Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Piantedosi


Happy Anniversary Jim and Jana Piantedosi!

They were married May 16, 2009 at Rose Chapel in Carlisle with a reception at Crossroads Community Church in Sullivan.

I first met Jana when she was a gymnast at Tanna Jo's Club 10 in Sullivan when I taught fitness classes there. I've also enjoyed taking many photos of her competing in the 4-H horse arena at the Sullivan County 4-H Fairgrounds when she was a 4-Her.

Much happiness to you both always!

Baby bunny


Since I had a family portrait session scheduled on Mother's Day I hung out with my mom for her special day on Saturday. My brother, sister and their families and me couldn't land on a date for all of us to do something together, so we were all fending for ourselves. We'll all be together for her birthday at the end of this month, so that'll be good.

Since the weather was cold last Saturday and mom doesn't "do" cold she decided she wanted us to see a movie. After much discussion and time checking we settled on Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Anniston. Mom and I both liked the movie. As mom said afterward, "it was light and funny, just what I needed."

On the way back to the house we stopped at Applebees to see if they had a good dessert menu. We shared the Triple Chocolate Meltdown. It was yummy.

Mom told me about a baby bunny that had been eating clover in the front yard and how my 5- and 3-year-old nephews had been enjoying watching it all week. As I was leaving to go home the bunny showed up. Mom said, "oh, you'll never get a picture of him." I did.

Despite the ten thousand calories from movie popcorn and the Meltdown it was a good day.

Red barn


Barns are cool — old and new. I was traveling through Cloverdale a couple weeks ago when I saw this barn way off the road. I resisted pulling over at first and then I decided to go back and see what it looked like through the lens. I'm glad I did.
