She's Got Legs

This is a sneak peek from a shoot I did with Krista last week. Every time we work together, I am amazed at what a good model she makes. You know how people never know what to do with their hands? Krista ALWAYS knows what to do with her hands. In fact, she can put them up near her face and make it look good and model-y! That's a talent. And, of course, she's got her other talent - she's a fabulous singer and songwriter and it is my goal to get her heard. So, if you haven't heard her already, you should click on the link above and go visit her page! I'm going to work on the rest of her photos this morning, so maybe there will be more later!

Ring of Fire

Oh my god! Check this video out - it's crazy. I have no idea what I would do if I were David Letterman - I don't think I would have been able to deal at all!

In the Jingle-Jangle Morning

I made a special trip to Target today to pick up some stuff for the apt. You know, stuff like a new scrub brush for the dishes and a bottle of caffeine-free Pepsi. For some reason, I have totally been craving a nice cold glass of Pepsi lately. Anyway, as I was walking through the lovely aisles, wanting to buy everything I saw, whether I need it or not, I came across some really cool wedding invitations. Apparently Target is jumping on the DIY wedding bandwagon and now sells invitations you can print on from home. They were really nice. Some of them were the Target "Club Wedd" brand but the ones I liked best were from a company called Gartner Studios. I believe the ones Target was selling are from the "Letter Impress" collection. They looked simple without looking plain, contemporary without looking trendy, and just all around pretty. So, if you're a bride who's reading this, it might be worth checking out. Best part? Less than $1/invite! Just thought I'd share!

Wherever We're Together, That's My Home

Anna and Jayson got married in a small, intimate ceremony at the Top of the Hub in Boston's Prudential Building. Anna worked hard at creating the perfect ambiance for her guests, which I'm sure couldn't have been easy since the couple lives in Washington, D.C. Their efforts totally paid off - everything was beautiful! This is just a little sneak peek of a few of my favorites.

Anna's color scheme was red and black and this gorgeous red chair just happened to be in the hotel room. I made good use of it in the photos.


Anna's dog was in the hotel room being totally adorable. I couldn't help but capture a few photos of them together.




I love this photo. To me, it looks like they could be hanging out with Frank Sinatra. The dark wood just creates its own mood and transports you to a different time. Totally swank.



What else can I fill you guys in on? Last night I went to a meeting with a bunch of photographers, which was awesome. To be in a room, chatting with and learning from, some of Boston's best is always an inspiration. Every time I speak with these people, I become a better photographer and business woman. I'm so lucky that Boston has made it easy for us all to be friends and resources and not competitors.

I've got a few shoots that I'm working on editing so I can blog them. Things have been really busy! I am now on Twitter, so you guys can follow me there. My ID is megger66. You will also be able to see my updates at the top of my blog, so you can watch them there. I'm also trying to keep track of how many people visit my blog everyday. It's addictive. People all over the world are following this blog - Guam, Argentina, Hawaii, Maryland, etc. So, if you're out there, feel free to leave a comment! Don't be scared! Comments will make my day.

The Oscars aren't too far away now. I just saw The Class the other night. It's a French film nominated for Best Foreign Film. It was good, but seemed a little long. It was sort of like Rachel Getting Married in that it made you part of the story. You suffered through parent/teacher conferences and staff meetings just like the characters did. As someone who has been a part of that world, it could be pretty painful to watch. Overall, good film, though. I have Frozen River at home (Best Actress nominee Melissa Leo) so I need to watch that. And I'm still hoping to see The Reader. Maybe Friday!

Toonces the Driving Cat

So, I know this cat isn't driving a car, but I'm pretty sure this is the same face Toonces had every time he drove over that cliff!



The photo isn't entirely in focus, but it makes me laugh out loud so I had to post it!

We're Gonna Have a Good Time

Meet my new best friend Lucy. She needed absolutely no direction for this shoot, if you can imagine that!











Lucy turns one this month and to celebrate, she had her own "itty bitty Birthday Session." These are sessions I'm offering for babies turning one! They come with everything you see here (except the baby - you provide the baby) and more (think customized cake from the itty bitty bake shop and a super-cute album). If you're interested in learning more about these very special photo shoots, drop me an email! In the meantime, I know Lucy's family will love these photos. Can I tell you that the whole time we were shooting, we were all dying laughing? I think Lucy's parents had as much fun on the shoot as Lucy did, minus the sugar high (and subsequent drop). I should have had someone photographing them! I am so excited about these sessions and hope to do a ton this year! So, if you know someone with a baby about to turn one, you know where to send them! I just realized how many exclamation points I used in this paragraph. A lot. But that's just how excited I am!

Believe It Or Not, It's Just Me

Days without posting and now I'm going to post without a photo! Scandalous! While I had the impulse to write, I thought I should take advantage of it. The strangest thing happened to Doug and I this morning and I feel the need to share. We were walking to my car and I noticed there were some cars backed up by the drive-by mailboxes in my town. I thought, "Hmmm, that's strange. Maybe I'll drop the Netflix in later." When we got closer, we realized there was no one in the front car. Someone had essentially pulled up to the mailbox, put it in park, and got out. It was still running even. The cars behind it were starting to go around (but now they couldn't reach the mailbox). It was ugly. Doug decided to explore further. I heard him say, "There's a baby in there." HUH?! WHAT?! Indeed, there was a baby in the car. The car that was running. And parked. And blocking traffic. Who on earth would leave their toddler in a running car in the street? Now, Doug and I surmised that whoever had done this had probably just run into the post office for a minute. However, before anyone claiming the car/baby combo appeared, a cop showed up on the scene. Since Doug and I were standing by the abandoned car/baby, we filled him in on what was going on. When we finished, we figured since the cops were there, we could leave. We had to get Doug to work on time, you know. As we were getting into the car, a woman came running across the street yelling, "Officer! Officer!" He said something back to her and she said, "I was only gone a minute." Uhm, inaccurate. We had been standing there for about 7 minutes and the car had already been there when we showed up. We have no idea what happened to the mom after we left. The baby seemed absolutely fine. But, really, in what reality is it okay to leave your child in the car by itself, with the car running, in the street? What is this world coming to? Did this woman really not have the time to pull into a parking space and take the child out of the car and into the post office? Was she having some sort of mail emergency? All very very strange. The things you see in the W.C.!
