Lobster Rolls of New England Book Launch Party!

Our good friend Sally Lerman came to Jane last summer as she was writing her book “Lobster Rolls of New England”, to ask Jane to photograph their adventure in and around New England on sea and land as they explored the nitty-gritty of lobster roll nirvana.  Their Thelma and Louise roadtrip started on the Connecticut and Rhode Island shorelines, before they left port in Maine with lobstermen to see where these bugs come from.  Along the way, they ate their weight in lobster rolls…it’s all chronicled in Sally’s book!

Last week Sally and Ken hosted a festive book signing party at their home, complete with a lobster roll truck serving up warm butter lobster rolls…man they’re good!  One bite and you’ll agree with Sally that “I love lobster, I love butter and when combined with the right bread, I think the lobster roll may be the perfect food.  If I had a last meal, this would be it, ideally finished with a fresh lemon meringue pie.”  Amen.

Lobster Rolls of New England is the definitive book on the subject and Sally brings her expertise having tasted over 200 different lobster rolls.  The book outlines a great adventure and beckons you to follow the Lobster Trail.  And it’s a thoughtful hostess gift or wedding goody bag present for out-of-towners.   Order a copy on Lobster Gal’s website:  http://lobstergal.com/product/lobster-rolls-of-new-england/

Congratulations Sally and Jane!!  And welcome to the Summer of Lobster, 2014!!

Jane and I photographed the GE 5K Road Race to benefit the Petit Family Foundation.  A great example of community at its best, the road race helps the The Petit Foundation which  “honors the memories of Jennifer Hawke-Petit, Hayley Elizabeth Petit, and Michaela Rose Petit by continuing the kindness, idealism and activism that defined their lives. The Foundation’s funds are given to foster the education of young people, especially women in the sciences; to improve the lives of those affected by chronic illnesses, and to support efforts to protect and help those affected by violence.”  For more information please see the GE 5K Road Race website.

Really enjoyed photographing our friend Lauren’s mom’s surprise birthday party.   From the beautiful speeches and loving slideshow you could tell what an impact Marie has had on her family and friends.

We’ve worked with Lauren–who runs Bellafare boutique event planning with her friend Kristin–on a number of events, every one meticulously planned and beautifully designed–including this soiree held at the New Britain Museum of American Art (a favorite of our family’s) with floral decor by Dragonfly Events.  So nice to meet Lauren’s husband and family…thank you Lauren for including us at such a special, intimate event.  Here are some photos from the night..click here to see some more.
