The way a 90th birthday party should be!

This past weekend I photographed a party on Cape Cod for a very special person.  Katchy is an amazing woman with a very beautiful family.  All ten of her children and nineteen grandkids got together to celebrate her 90th (!!) birthday and party the day away at her son's beautiful home.  I am very grateful that I was a part of their special day.

Waking up with Willie

Colors, calmness, and beauty: sunrise is one of my favorite times of the day.  It doesn't matter where you see it, it is always something special.  The other day, our good friends took Joanna and I out on their boat the "First Cut".  We cruised the Charles River and made our way into Boston Harbor just in time to see an incredible sunrise over the city.  It was a perfect way to top off a sunrise photo series of the Cape and Boston.  Here are some of my favorite shots...

My other line of work

 Ok so as many of you know by day I work in construction. This is a post and beam pool/golf house shaped and inspired by a barn.  I was lucky enough to be a part of this project from beginning to end.  After completion, I was asked to photograph it.  This is the first real architectural photography I have done. I am pretty happy with the end result.  Being part of the build team made it that much more special. Check out more cool projects that we have done at http://www.bolalekconstruction.com

A few weeks back in the middle of what seemed to be the never ending winter, my friend Krista, blogger, fashion lover, and all around fun person, came over to play dress up.  We talked about doing a joint blog for a while using my photos and her styling.  Not really having a goal in mind when we started, we decided to wing it and have fun.  With make-up help from Joanna, we came up with some great, wacky, and fun ideas. Thanks again Krista! Check her out and follow her at           http://lillianandalice.com
