She was very patient with me. I, for whatever reason, took to calling Caitlin “Ashley” numerous times. I can’t even begin to tell you why. Lucky for me, Caitlin was so gracious and just laughed and smiled the several times I got her name wrong. I’m still baffled as to what I was thinking…

But enough about me. This post is about Caitlin + Adam. Not only are these two smart and attractive people (she is in nursing school, he is studying to be a dentist), they are incredibly fun, kind, and genuine. We met up at Sugarloaf Vineyard, a truly gorgeous setting, and immediately just fell in sync with one another.  After already having to cancel once due to bad weather, I was so happy we got a perfect, sunshine-y day :) Thank you Adam + Caitlin, for such a fun, relaxed session. You two are too cute with one another. Enjoy your pictures, your upcoming wedding, and the excitement of looking forward to spending your lives together…

Off centered. A little different. That is how this company likes to describe, and market, itself. And, it’s worked. What started as a 12 gallon per batch brewery has grown to 3000 gallon per batches. One man’s vision and passion has grown into probably much more than he had ever planned on, or imagined.

As part of our beach week experience, we took a little field trip to the Dogfish Head Brewary in Milton, DE. It was a rainy, overcast day, and perfect for such an outing. I wasn’t exactly prepared to be inspired, but I was. Even though I really didn’t hear much after the initial introduction (Evelyn wasn’t amused), those first few minutes were all I needed to hear. It just gave me a boost, a little slice of encouragement, to have the idea reinforced that much can come from little given the vision, hard work, and maybe even a little luck, all come together.

These are my “off centered” shots, which I absolutely love, especially as B&W.

I told her she wasn’t allowed to smile…

And soon after got this. This trick always works!

Poor Gwen. And, yes, that is my daughter’s hand…

As we were just about to leave, I spotted this old red truck that I immediately wanted to shoot. I wanted a full framed shot of the entire truck, but given my tight lens and the road, I couldn’t trust Evelyn not to run out in the street without being an arms length away. I have my mommy hat on first :)
