Nantucket

The first week of June we headed to New England for a whirlwind trip to Nantucket to remember Rich on his birthday.  The entire Rittershaus crew met up in Hyannis, and we piled on a ferry and traveled to the beautiful island for a long weekend.  We spent three days exploring Nantucket and visiting some of Rich's favorite places.  Unfortunately, the weather was wet and chilly a lot of the time, but we had a great time despite!  Finn had no cold weather clothes that fit her anymore, so we squeezed her into what we could for the time we were there and bundled ourselves to take advantage of all the island had to offer.

Mother's Day

My second Mother's Day, and we spent the morning with our great friends the Wheatleys-  soon to be parents themselves.  We met them downtown for brunch and a stroll around the city, where the photos below were taken!

Scoutin' out a shoot

Often times if I have a photo shoot at a new location, I venture out beforehand to get a feel for the scenery and the lighting. These photos are from an afternoon in April when I needed to scope out a park for a session the following day.   Lucky me that I have such a cute subject to help me work...
