Autumn Photography will be closed starting December 22nd for approximately 4-6 weeks. I am having surgery December 27th and will be taking some time off to recover. If you need any print or album orders filled, I should be up to that by late January. I expect to be fully recovered (and feeling better than I have in over a decade!) about 4-6 weeks post surgery. I will be posting updates every so often after my surgery to keep everyone in the loop as far as my recovery and return to work.

Thank you all so much for all of the prayers, thoughts and well wishes I have received! You are all so wonderful! I’ve never been so excited for the New Year! =)

Happy Holidays!!

The slick snow covered roads may have put a delay on this wedding, but it truly was the perfect day… a dream come true! Holly and Aaron were married at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY on December 7th and I have to say, they are one of those couples that you just can’t be around and NOT grin ear to ear. They are the sweetest couple and their story is just amazing… I can’t imagine being in the same building with them and not noticing how much they love each other… or how much they love their family and friends. I am so thankful to have met them and to have been a part of their wedding. I had such a fantastic time with them and their friends and family (hey Robin!!) and I can’t seem to wipe the smile off of my face when I think of them. Thank you so much, Holly & Aaron! You two are incredible! Congratulations again!!

Massage Envy, that is! Oh how I wish it were 11 AM right now… I’d be getting a massage. Instead, it’s 12:11 AM and my neck and back are locked up tight and I’m longing for 11 AM!

Okay, so there really isn’t a point to this, but here’s a good opportunity to plug Massage Envy - they have great rates, great hours (open 7 days a week and until 10 PM on the weekdays so there’s no excuse not to go!) and they’re a chain. Oh, and if you go to the one in Fairfield, Sarah is fantastic and super sweet… just don’t steal her from me please! =) They also sell gift certificates and did I mention they have great rates, great hours and they’re a chain? Hey, if you’re looking for a gift idea, a massage makes a pretty sweet gift no matter who you’re buying for! No, they don’t pay me to say this… they don’t even know about it… I just love them and love that they are reasonably priced and so incredibly convenient. Okay, so it’s not the same as serene full service Derma Clinic, but it is nice and they do a great job.

My internet is currently down and all I have is my Blackberry! It’s been about an hour and I’m already going through withdrawls! Trying to get everything fixed today… This is the only downside of technology- we become so dependant!!

Edit: I’m back online! It’s bedtime though, so I’ll be catching up on those missed e-mails tomorrow!

So, I don’t always manage to post these, but I do remember them all - the anniversaries of the couples whose weddings I’ve photographed, that is! I almost missed posting this one, but, with just 3 minutes left, HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY to Laura & Rusty! Congratulations! I hope you had a fabulous day!
