Today I wanted to share a recent engagement session I photographed.  I have been photographing Nick and his family for years so it is such an honor to document another chapter in Nick’s life.  Nick met Anna in Philadelphia while there for his residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery.  At the time, Anna was in medical school and rotating through the same hospital as Nick.  Anna was working with a friend of Nicks and she quickly caught his eye.  He immediately started bugging his friend to set him up with her.  After a while his friend just said, “just contact her through Facebook.”  And so Nick did and the rest is history.  They have been dating for two years and Anna is now in her second year of her residency in anesthesiology and Nick is finishing his fourth and last year.  They will be getting married next Spring in West Virginia.   When I asked Nick what he loves most about Anna he replied, ” She is so kind, both to me and to all people.  She always makes others feel welcome and important.  She is always concerned with the well-being of her family and she simply is just fun to be around.  She offsets and balances my imperfections and makes me a better person.  Oh and she’s super sexy too!”  How sweet is that!

This Friday we will be having an Open House with a showing of the new Matilda Jane Clothing Fall Line.  If you haven’t seen the Matilda Jane clothing line you are in for a real treat.  Their clothes are SUPER cute!  You can go online and check it out all the beautiful clothes at www.matildajaneclothing.com.  Also, anyone who spends $100 or more on Matilda Jane items at the Trunk Show will receive a FREE portrait session so you can have portraits made in your cute new outfits!

We will also be showing the new line of jewelry and custom charms from Jewel Kade.  I saw this line of jewelry when I was in Tuscon last year and I fell in love with it!  So we are now carrying it in the studio and we’ll be previewing it at the Open House on Friday.  If you would like to take a look at it go to www.jewelkade.com/bethforester.

I hope you can make it to the Open House/Trunk Show this Friday, August 24.  We’ll have plenty of food and drinks and it should be loads of fun!  See you there!
