TO THE MOUNTAINS!

If you don't already know, I LOVE the Adirondacks. I'm looking for reasons/excuses to move there on a weekly basis. In the meantime, we take as many trips as we can. This time was special because it was the tiny one's first camping trip. We usually tent camp but this time Marla booked us a cozy little guide tent (queen bed included), on the premises of The Woods Inn which is nestled in on Fourth Lake, as a treat for fathers day! Happy Fathers Day toooooo Me! As we meandered around during our stay...

Looking forward to a sunrise engagement shoot tomorrow morning! Happy Friday friends!

GREAT OUTDOORS ~ MAN TRIP '11 *spring edition*

Man Trip. Where we head off to some foreign land (THE ADIRONDACKS), go and beat our chests, eat meat (A LOT), wrestle wild animals (DON'T THINK WE SAW ANY), build fires (THESE WERE NICE), and plan to do things that kick our butt (THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE)! This trip took us back up to our collective favorite spot. The Hi-Peak Region of The ADKS. Being hesitant about the weather and conditions we made plans to start at Colvin(4057'), summit it, then over to the summit of Blake(3960'), then back over Colvin(4057') and possibly Nippletop and Dial. Well we had another GORGEOUS day. HI 30's Low 40's, and barely a cloud in the sky! The trails were packed nicely as long as you statyed on them. 8 inches to the left or right and your trekking pole or leg would disappear into 3-4ft of snow. The nice weather did play a part in our demise as the snow on the backside of Colvin tuned to a snow cone consistency and not snowshoe or crampon could grip. Needless to say we did a portion of this on our bummers. It was a phenomenal weekend as it always is with these gentlemen and scholars. Can hardly wait for the next one!

Love ~ The Nettleton Wedding

And.... we're back! Life has been pretty crazy lately, which seems to be my thought's every time I sit down to post. There have been weddings and engagement shoots and life adventures. It get a bit overwhelming to think about documenting it all. Besides for the nonsense, I've been really looking forward to this post. This wedding took place in Saratoga Springs, which is right on the heels of The Adirondacks, which I'm sure I was stolen from as a baby. OK... Sidetracked! Pete and Courtney we're really fun, really cool, and really creative. Pete is a talented photographer himself, so, I maintained a steady flow of sweat beads anytime I was near my camera. They nailed all the details! Right down to the neighbor having a super sweet wood panel station wagon in their front yard as a prop! Ok, that wasn't planned but became my favorite moment of the entire day. Thanks to whoever you are! So Pete & Courtney...We had a blast hanging with you guys and can't thank you enough for the cottage! Have a great day friends!
