New England Family Photography: Everything Around Me Is Little

There are little girls and then there's THIS little girl! She never ceases to amaze me with her willingness to be photographed! I can trace her history of being a ham way back to when she was only a few weeks old and we had this session. See? I told you! We had so much fun and really, we have a lot in common, not the least of which is the movie "Annie." The day of our session, we caught some late afternoon light and were able to make the most of the awesome backyard!

I love her outfit. So stylish!








This one melts my heart.




There were so many photos I could have posted, but I didn't want to overload anyone with cuteness! Looking at these photos has definitely satisfied your cuteness quotient for the day! You don't even need to look at photos of puppies or kittens - you're all full up! Soon I'll be traveling back to visit this little one when she becomes a big sister! That should shake things up a bit!

Michelle and Mike, engaged: You Shared My Crazy Ways

I wanted to make sure I posted some photos from Michelle and Mike's engagement session because they are getting married this coming Saturday! So very exciting! I met up with them in Arnold Arboretum to hang out and explore. And, of course, talk about food and movies. 'Cause that's how I roll.



We lucked out with the gorgeous fall afternoon! We made our way to the tree in the Arboretum where Mike proposed and took some photos over there.




After the Arboretum, we drove over to the bar where Michelle and Mike had their first date! It was warm and cozy and we got a corner table where we could hang out, drink good fall beer, and take just a few more photos!


I like the paparazzi-style look of these images.


Michelle and Mike, I am so excited to photograph your wedding this Saturday! We are going to have SO much fun!

Boston Baby Photography: Say Good Morning to the Night

There is no better remedy for a bad day than an adorable cutie baby girl! And this little one has got it going on - she is cute and stylish and she has kewpie doll hair! This was her third photo shoot, so she's already an experienced model in front of the camera. I photographed her in the hospital and shortly after she was born. She's about 4 months old in these photos. I'm looking forward to our upcoming holiday session!





I love the photo of Baby H with her mom. There's something very serene about it. We always have such a wonderful time hanging out together! I have a feeling we have years of photos to go, which makes me one happy photographer!

Shannon and Mike: Like A Stamp To A Letter

This is a sneak peek from one of the many engagement sessions I photographed over the past week or so. Luckily the October snow didn't get in our way!



I'm also in the process of switching my blog over to another site. As with most things website related, the work tends to be slow going because it gets put behind actually shooting and editing, but hopefully I'll stay somewhat on top of it and I can debut a new blog soon!

In other news, I was down in NYC this past week for the PhotoPlus Expo at the Javits Center. It's a huge photography trade show and you can sign up to see speakers and try out new equipment. It's a great way to touch and test new products (I think I found a few to add to my roster). The Javits Center also happens to be near one of my favorite places to eat in NYC - Manganaro's Hero Boy. When I lived in New York a million years ago, I worked right around the corner and my boss Max introduced me to their chicken parm sandwiches and arancini. Yum! Visiting NYC has definitely turned into a trip about food and drink! I also managed to schedule a visit and session with Emily and Nicolas and their newborn son! It's always wonderful to catch up with couples, and I had the added bonus of seeing their parents as well. And, to round out the trip, I got to go to a taping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! Justin Timberlake was the main guest and he stood about 5 feet from me. For real. And I'm not going to lie - I get starstruck. I'm pretty sure I looked like an idiot, with that wide "I'm near a celebrity" smile that I seem to get in photos. Here's the clip of the opener where Jimmy and Justin run up into the audience. Justin stops right near where I'm sitting! Eeks!

One more thing, if you haven't done so yet, head over to my facebook page and "like" me! Pretty please with sprinkles on top?

Okay, back to work!

Jacqui and Jon: A New Beginning Starts Tonight

Making my way through all of my awesome 2011 weddings! Jacqui and Jon celebrated their marriage back in June at the Nantasket Beach Resort. It was one of those lucky wedding days where we had just finished all the portraits outdoors when it started raining. Perfect timing! In between meeting Jacqui and Jon and their wedding, Jacqui moved to Los Angeles for work. That means we weren't able to schedule an engagement session before the wedding. So, when I walked in to the hotel the morning of the wedding, it was the first time I had seen Jacqui in about a year. But it didn't matter at all - everyone was so chill and just happy to be there. The wedding was just so beautiful and the rain held off just long enough. And, with DJ Pat Lally manning the music at the reception, you know everyone was out of their seats and dancing all night! It was such a fun wedding! These guests knew how to dance!

Before every wedding, Jon and his friends have a tradition of going for a swim in the ocean. The weather wasn't even consistently warm out yet and they were stripping down and running into the water! That was a wedding first for us!


















































My second shooter for the day was Emily Kearnan and some of her photos are sprinkled throughout this post. We had so much fun photographing this wedding! Jacqui & Jon, congratulations once again! Next time I'm in L.A., we're hanging out!

Holly and Pete: Like A Song of Love That Clings To Me

Holly and Pete got married this past spring at The Bedford Village Inn in New Hampshire. They had an amazing early spring day to celebrate. When Doug and I met up with them for their engagement session, we knew their wedding would be special - the type of wedding that truly embraced what a wedding was all about - marriage. It did not disappoint! It was clear from the beginning that Holly and Pete's families were one of the most important parts of the day. Their nieces and nephews were involved in the ceremony, the tables were named after them, and they were a big part of the reception, dancing the night away! It was so easy for us to get caught up in the joy of the wedding - it's one of the things that makes photographing weddings so awesome! Instead of slideshows, we've got long-form blog posts! Enjoy all the photos!









































Holly and Pete, thank you so much for inviting us to photograph your wedding, and for being so patient with this blog post! Congratulations!
