The morning of February 19th started with a bang.  At 4am my water broke, waking me up from what might have been my last opportunity ever for a full night's sleep.  Josh and I went to the hospital, where I was checked in and since I wasn't having contractions on my own, given Pitocin to start the process.   By the end of the day, Oliver still hadn't made his appearance and the doctor, Josh and I decided that a C-section was necessary.  Oliver Quinn Flanagan was born just after midnight on February 20th, weighing in at 6lbs, 7oz. The next few days were an emotional rollercoaster, with Oliver needing a short stay in the NICU and having a bout of jaundice, but we arrived home together earlier this week and all is well now.

He is the most amazing, most beautiful thing in the world.  We love him.

Last year, I photographed Rory & Amanda's beautiful Greenwich, Connecticut wedding at the Belle Haven Club for Jennifer Davis Photography (Go to Jennifer's blog to view the slideshow with more images from their day!).  Not only is the couple gorgeous (and very much in love!), but the details they chose were really cute and personal too!  Recently their wedding was also featured as the Wedding of the Day on The Wedding Channel.  Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Exciting news -- Tara & Conor's beautiful June wedding is featured in the upcoming spring/summer 2010 Knot NY Metro Magazine!  Many thanks to Jordan Van Aken and Hayley Schlesinger who shot this wedding with me, and of course thanks to The Knot!!

Stefanie & Eric's fall Brooklyn wedding was featured today on Merci New York's blog.  Check it out to hear how the couple met and how they chose the details for their wedding day!

I had the pleasure to meet this little smoosh face today in Brooklyn (check out his cheeks and fat rolls - too cute!).  AJ made his debut on November 28th, 2009 weighing in at 8lbs, 13oz.  Thanks so much to his Mom, Benita, for having me over, sharing some pregnancy & labor advice, and for the supply of diapers to get us started when our little man arrives!  Congratulations Benita & Al!
