And following my 10 day leave... I give you KELLY UNBRIDALED!

Okay, I know I'm bad... it's been awhile. And I could, at the very least, drop something off once a week, right? Right.
Consider this my apology. ;)

And you'll forgive me, I know, because I'm bringing you the gorgeous Kelly!

Kelly is a friend of mine, and I've shot with her before. Many times, actually, going all the way back to when I first started. So of course there was no question when she got home from her destination wedding in Florida that we absolutely HAD to do a shoot in her gorgeous gown! (Even if it was pretty darned chilly outside!)

And here she is!




















And just for fun, one of my favorites of Kelly from her boudoir session last Spring. Yep, I have more you would loooooove to see. ;) I'll refrain from posting those, however.

Rocking Maureen

On Sunday I met Maureen in the Chinatown region of Philly for an awesome unbridaled shoot. Maureen is a local model, so she obviously likes having her picture taken ;) And what do you know? I love shooting her!
So she donned her gorgeous wedding gown and we had a blast!
I'll be back at some later date with her slideshow, but for now, a few of my favorites.








In our walk down 10th Street, we happened to run into the LT of the firehouse there. And how AWESOME are those guys?!?! They were sweet enough to let us pose with their engines, borrow their hats, and they even blocked off a section of the road for us to shoot in the middle.




A quick pic with our new friends:



And on with the shoot:




We had an absolutely awesome time!

Keyona!

For your viewing pleasure- a slideshow of the lovely Keyona.
(I told you I would post more, didn't I?)

Sneak Peaks!

In Katieland it looks like this:
- My in-laws went home after a great visit together and left behind the most gorgeous entertainment center that my father-in-law, Raymond, made from scratch. He's such an amazingly talented carpenter- it's just beautiful! I'll have to get some pics later... just keep in mind that I am SO not an architectural photographer.
- High Def has entered the Osborne household. We got a new television! Yay! No more tinsy old-fashioned screen!
- My sister-in-law Jennifer (and favorite model) is in for a few days. It's wonderful to see her!
- Since I have a few hours to sit down (for the first time in a week!) while she is out taking a test I have two sneak peaks for you!

First off, I had the immense pleasure of shooting Chris & Christine's wedding on the Moshulu here in Philly last Saturday. It was so much fun, and they were just the most wonderful bride and groom! I'm so excited to show you their sneak peak! Their pics will be up sometime in the next few weeks.


And then on Sunday, I met with Eva who, after her wedding on the Jersey Shore, was eager to wear her gorgeous Priscilla of Boston again for some fun shots around the city. I know I say this about just about everything... but honestly, I think unbridaled sessions are my absolute favorite!

Keyona: A Sneak Peak

I got to shoot with a new model, Keyona.
OMGOMGOMGOMG!
I don't have time to write a whole blog post right now, but I am biting at the bits to share these photos!

I do believe I have found my Philly muse!







And that's all you get for now... but I'll have her slide show up as soon as I can. My in-laws are coming in tonight, so I might not be blogging for the rest of the week... so I couldn't stand to leave without posting some of Keyona!

Meet Jill & Jim!

Last Friday I had the honor of doing engagement portraits with Jill and Jim. What a super cute, super fun couple! I had a blast meeting them and following them around.


We started off at LOVE Park, which is always a great place to shoot when it's not the middle of summer. It's a whole little city block dedicated to the word 'Love'...what's not to... well, love?




Then we headed over to the Art Museum, which is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places to shoot! It's a truly beautiful area of the city!








They're doing a lot of construction in the area, and we ran into some super nice construction workers willing to let us play with their hats and shovels. Jill and I had a blast with this!




Isn't her ring gooooorgeous?!


And my favorite shot of the day:


Jill and Jim, you two are great! I hope you enjoy your pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them with you!

Meet Stacey!

Stacey is proof of why I adore Craigslist- I had a spot open up for my Thursday, and I was dying to fill it with someone fun! So on Tuesday evening I posted an ad for my Thursday session, and I got a response almost right away from Stacey!
Stacey does fitness for QVC, and can you not tell? She has a killer physique and is gooorgeous to boot! And to top it all of, she's just as much fun to hang out with.
A total natural in front of the camera- I'm excited to share!

As an aside, because of the recent Orphan Works Bill going through congress, I am going to have to try something a little different when posting my work on my blog. (You can read about the terms of the Orphan Works Act HERE.)
So let me know what you think of my slideshow format! I think they're fun...and I can put up more pictures this way!

(And I'm LOVING Jumpcut for how easy it makes it! Before I was using slideshow software...this is just so much easier!)

And without further ado, here's Stacey!
