some new delicious treats can be found at Bywater in Warren RI. they have a new bakeshop + ‘pass through’ cafe window that I have had the distinct pleasure to sample + photograph. here are just a few favorite frames to hold you over until they reopen for the weekend
also, check out the beautiful handmade baskets made by Elwood Donnelly to display the baked goods.
you may already be familiar with this awesome photographer, but in case you are not, let me introduce you to Lisa ofLisa Frechette Photography. back longer than I would like to mention, Lisa took me under her wing + taught me so much about the wedding photography industry. to give you an idea of how long ago, we were still shooting film. I am so grateful that she took a chance with me as her trusty second photographer because I am pretty sure I would not be where I am today without her. she effortlessly captures the joy + love of her subjects with a timeless + romantic flair. she has an infectious laugh + a great sense of humor. honestly, I feel my funniest after time spent with her, she laughs at all my jokes! she has an awful sense of direction, loves summers more than I do, + is the most down-to-earth perfectionist I have ever met. there is a good chance if you hire her you will see me as I am extremely lucky to continue to hold the title of being her trusty second photographer.
we had a great time down at beavertail state park in Jamestown RI to update her headshots for her new website [ check it out here]. this park has the perfect ocean vistas for a sun-kissed golden hour summer portrait, but beware as we both got the worst case of poison ivy ever, still totally worth it!
