Dover International

So I had an opportunity to tag along with my friend Matt to Dover International this weekend. He is a mechanic for the Joe Gibbs #18 Camping World Series team, which was driven by Matt DeBenedetto on Friday. We got there around 9am on Friday, and with awesome views from the top of the trailer in the pits, to actually standing with the crew for the pit stops on pit road, it was an awesome day with awesome views and awesome photos.

Here is the view from the top of the trailer.

Here is the driver, Matt DeBenedetto.

And here is the team waiting their turn on pit road for qualifying, which they qualified 1st.

A cool shot of the car as it waits for the race to start.

And since I got to stand with the press photographers.....

The sprint cup drivers lined up along pit row for their qualifying.

#24 Jeff Gordon

#20 Joey Logano

#29 Kevin Harvick


I loved this shot, though it's a little blurry. It shows how close I was to everything. I was literally sitting on the wall in the pit and the cars were passing this close to me. Way cool!





Thanks Matt B. for having me come down and hang out with you guys! You all were lots of fun and a whole lot of funny to be around. I hope we can do it again soon! Just be sure to carry your whistle with you! You never know when you'll need it!

Brandy

Hi Everyone! Yes, it's been a while and I've been blog slacking but....oh well. Stuff happens. Anyways, you might remember Brandy from her wedding that I shot last May. She wanted to put together a surprise for her husband, so we got together. Here is a peak at the results. Sorry, the rest are kept under wrap!! Thanks Brandy!

Toni Mark and Allie

My best friend Toni came to visit this weekend with her long time boyfriend Mark, and her daughter (my god daughter) Allie. I grabbed a few pics of them and thought I'd share them. Both Toni and Allie were in my wedding almost two years ago. See below (Toni's my maid of honor in red, and I'm holding Allie's hand. Isn't she a beautiful flower girl! Also pictured are my closest friends as bridesmaids...Colleen, Kim (sister-in-law) Alexis (step-daughter), Reann (sister-in-law) and Denise.)

Here is a pic of Toni and Mark. I've been bugging them for a while to let me take a picture of the two of them, but they're so damn stubborn. I cornered them this time!

And Allie is a hoot. Half the time she's this ramped up version of hyperactive funny kid like this...

And then she's this sweet little girl like this...

I love them all!

Photography Contest

I recently entered a photography contest at work, and took second place in the Critters and Characters category. Here's the photo that won. It's my kitty Midas!

Baby Emma

Back in October, Gerogina and TJ let me share an afternoon with them and take some photos of their family expecting a new addition. Four days later, Emma was born.I got to spend an evening with the family, and see the bundle first hand. She's beautiful and precious and already dictating her own schedule. Here's a look at the evening. Congrats Georgina, TJ and big sister Ella!

Halloween with Graystone Photography

Halloween isn't just for dressing up and begging for candy!! I had a blast working with Erin and Kelly from Graystone Photography this past weekend before partying with them on Halloween! They dressed as 50's girls and we took to the street and did a shoot with them and a mustang! I think we laughed more than we shot photos, but it was worth it! The photos came out amazing, especially when they were processed and tinted to look like they were from the 50's. Check 'em out!

Here's Erin!

Here's Kelly!

Happy Halloween!
