Christmas ‘07
Posted on December 31, 2007
Kelly and I are crazy about our families… we love getting together with both sides and wouldn’t trade it for the world. But after a week of going nonstop, we’re plain burnt out and are happy to be spending New Years at home with each other, good food, and good movies.
Christmas was great, though! On the 24th our friend Jenn came down from her home state of Vermont and joined us for breakfast. The time is always too short, but we’re grateful for whatever time we get with her.
We had to split and head over to Kelly’s parents’ place to celebrate with her side of the family.
Christmas day we spent with my side.
Brock and Tyler were super-excited about some sweet sweaters they got.
And as usually happens in my family, things got musical toward the end…
From the 26th-28th, my side of the fam made the trek to a cabin in the Poconos… you might expect photos of stunning vistas and rustic Americana, but it was rainy and foggy so most of our time was spent inside. A note about my family: we tend to be immensely competitive, especially when it comes to lame games, so when my sister Holly organized tournament consisting of Pick Up Sticks, Memory, and Jenga, the gloves came off.
Pick Up Sticks was surprisingly fun…
But Jenga was the main event.
I’m proud to say that my team tied for first. 
[Side note to any family members reading this… yes, I know not everyone got equal face time in the above photos. Sorry about that… slip me a 20 and I promise to give you front-page coverage at the next family function…]

The last one
Posted on December 30, 2007
Whew! After 52 weddings in 2007 (at only 3 of those was I 2nd-shooting for someone else) I am finally finished with the 2007 wedding season. I hurried home from a family vacation in the mountains to shoot Jessica & Dustin’s wedding on Saturday… I will be blogging photos from this wedding in a bit but I have a couple more from December to get to first. In the meantime, I leave you with just one that caught my eye:
Special thanks to Joy Moody who joined me for this one! Keep your eyes open for more from this wedding in the next week or so, as well as shots from the weddings of Maggie & Brett and Kate & Mike.
Here’s to a great year… I can’t wait for 2008!
Back soon…

Being that it’s Christmas and all, I’m going to be out of town for the next few days. After the initial holiday brouhaha we’ll be heading to the mountains with my family for a day or three before I hurry back to shoot my last wedding of the season on Saturday. I’ll be responding to all phone calls and emails when I return to the office on January 2… thanks for your patience.
And a very happy Christmas to each and every one of ya!
