My wedding shoes! Swoon…

I’m so excited to wear these babies for my wedding!

Assuming this foot is all healed up, of course. This nasty accident had me on crutches for the first half of this year and now I’m back on them thanks to some surgery over Thanksgiving. Because I can’t try the shoes on yet, I’m relegated to photographing them.

Sigh …

Cross your fingers that this foot will be stiletto-ready soon!

Check out the Barkitect’s post featuring my mom’s latest work: Terrific Terrier Dog Ornaments . So cute and just in time for the holidays!

Cupcakes!

I had a little craving…

Introducing Reilly!

Brought this little guy home last weekend and my camera hasn’t gotten any rest since! This is Reilly, our West Highland White Terrier. He’s four months old, weighs a whopping seven pounds and spends his days exploring his new surroundings. He’s a friendly, sweet and very curious puppy!

Happy halloween!

RAW comes to Philly

katemcgovernphoto — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 02:56:13 +0000

My cousin, Kelly McGovern, participated in a RAW artists event last week. One of her installations was featured and she helped out by modeling a friend’s work. The event, “Pulse,” was held at G Lounge in center city. Lots of fun but very difficult to shoot; I definitely need to try a fashion show again! Anyway, check out the rest of Kelly’s work here.

Shooting around Manayunk

katemcgovernphoto — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 03:06:10 +0000

I made a few stops in Manayunk this weekend to grab some shots for my wedding blog and the wedding website. We’ll be getting married at St. John the Baptist of Manayunk and walking down the street to our reception at the brewery. Manayunk is a cramped area so my regular lenses weren’t going to cut it. Finally a chance to break out my new fisheye adapter from Photojojo! I haven’t much of a chance to learn about this fisheye lens alternative so I’m not exactly sure how to best employ it yet, but I certainly had fun testing it out. Man, I want everything on Photojojo.

It’s home brewing day here in Philly! Fiance Steve is working on a hex nut brown ale; in this photo, he had just finished steeping the grains. We still have some Mexican cerveza left from last time, but it’s time to get another batch fermenting!

We’ve been having some pretty crazy weather here on the east coast this summer. While the earthquake didn’t provide many photo ops, the week leading up to and following Hurricane Irene had me perched on the windowsill waiting to capture this.
