Little Star

2011-12-12T16:26:00.000-08:00

Here is sweet miss Taylor! Despite flying the day before and skipping her morning nap...she is still a little cute star in front of the camera...Enjoy a few sneak peeks :)

oh my word...

2011-12-05T18:27:00.000-08:00

I'm just going to let the cuteness and the hair speak for itself!!! ENJOY...

My urban girls!

2011-11-07T19:01:00.000-08:00

Well...here are a few of my favorite girls! Known them all from about the day they made their debuts on this crazy planet! Always fun to hang out with them and certainly always fun to snag a few photos of them... I can only post a few pics since this is a top secret project...and I'm banking on the fact that Kevin is blog- illiterate... But even if he shocks me and happens to make it to the blog...our top secret project won't be blown! Enjoy my friends!

City Shoot

2011-11-07T18:15:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Philip, a highschool senior, who was very tolerant of me making him run all over boston and wait in long lines at Starbucks to change clothes. Here are a few peeks at his shoot. All the best to you Philip in your sr. year! Enjoy it...it goes fast!

Old Friends

2011-10-26T18:06:00.000-07:00

Thanks to facebook...We all get to "reconnect" with old friends. I encourage you to not only virtually reconnect...but to actually connect again! This past weekend I had the fun opportunity to meet up with good ole buddy from kindergarten and her fun family. It is always neat to see the paths folks have chosen to wander down. Really great to see you Jill---- Enjoy a few sneak peeks at the Wilders....or the "Barnes" as I would say! :)

Leaving Boston :(

2011-10-19T12:50:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to have one last shoot with these friends who are moving south (take note of all the cowboy/ girl boots). It has been fun to watch Miss Emily grow up in Bean-town. Not only is this one good looking family.... they are goooooooooood people! Come back and visit!!! (Just a few sneak peeks)

Double the cuteness!

2011-09-19T18:53:00.000-07:00

Introducing the latest fall sweetness!! TWINS! These little guys are so loveable...They were such champs throughout the whole session. Both were breaking out the smiles for me (of course like all good twins...never at the same time). Enjoy these little guys...I certainly did!

Cider Donuts!

2011-09-19T17:47:00.000-07:00

Who would turn down a shoot that would involve friends and cider donuts!?!? Not this girl! So we packed up Moses and off we went to Honey Pot Farms in Stow, MA. So after hayrides, animals, a weird guy singing karaoke from a dock and apples galore...I'm happy to introduce a few sneak peeks at Matt and Jackie.... (by the way...if you're thinking...i have no real reason to have pictures done....talk to M & J...they just wanted some nice pictures of themselves...and it was time to update all the wedding photos hanging on the walls in the house!!) Enjoy these sweet friends!

Another buddy for Moses

2011-08-27T06:09:00.000-07:00

So glad to have welcomed little Jonah into the world this summer! Another fun little buddy for Moses. Although he has a little catching up to do before one would consider it safe to allow a full on play session. Enjoy some sneak peeks at this new little guy.

The Bittersweet Session

2011-07-18T17:26:00.000-07:00

Very HAPPY to do this shoot because they are dear friends! Very SAD to do this shoot because this amazing family is leaving New England and heading back home to Louisiana. (although there maybe a secret plan to get them back north one day...) Enjoy some sweet shots of a sweet, high energy family! Thanks friends!

Miss Taylor!

2011-07-16T17:44:00.000-07:00

Introducing....Miss Taylor! She is a super sweet, easy-going little girl! She endure lots of costume changes without one complaint. And I think she's the first baby that hasn't shed at least one tear during a shoot. Miss Taylor...it was a pleasure!

Turning 1!

2011-06-23T19:53:00.000-07:00

I've had the pleasure of following this sweet little girl for the past year! She has grown up so fast. She just sprouted the cutest little ringlets in her hair too. (You can thank your momma later Miss M.) Enjoy this precious little girl... (Special appearance by Cagney the giant puppy)

awh prom!!!

2011-06-07T11:58:00.000-07:00

I love babies, don't get me wrong! But it was fun to reminisce about senior year of HS this week as we watched some of our favorite young people graduate from highschool. So here's hoping you enjoy reminiscing about graduating highschool too as you take a sneak peek at some prom pictures from this past week. Congrats Jim and Tim!

Miss Emily...take two!

2011-05-31T07:33:00.000-07:00

Here again.... Sweet Miss Emily! I could eat her up!

Newness in the spring!

2011-05-14T05:56:00.000-07:00

Introducing the newest baby to the blog...Cameron! What a sweet little guy. He seemed SOOOO TINY compared to my tank aka Moses. But it was crazy to think that our tank was 2lbs smaller then this little guy. Anyways...Cameron is great...he likes to eat and wear cute hats. Oh and he stayed awake for the entire 2hr shoot. What newborn does that! ENJOY a few sneak peeks at my time with this happy little family.

I had so much fun meeting sweet little Emily this past weekend! She is so darlin' and itty bitty (can't believe Moses was once her size YIKES!) Beware S & T, this time goes so fast so enjoy it all! Anyways. Here are just a few catches from our time together. Can't wait to watch her grow!

All Grown UP!

2010-11-10T15:35:00.000-08:00

So I have vivid memories of this lovely lady dressed up in frilly dresses, patten leather shoes and lacy ankle socks in the NURSERY at NPC. She didn't wear the frilly lacy dresses today...and I was slightly shocked she didn't come in her favorite oversized patriots hoodie! (We still need to get those pics Jordain!) All grown up and getting ready for college...she's so cool!

Triple the cuteness

2010-11-05T11:09:00.000-07:00

Its a lot of fun to take pictures of kiddos...but it is even more fun to take pictures of triplets!!! and their older beautiful sister. We were racing across fields, climbing trees and having a grand ole time (hope they slept well Jen!) Here are a few sneak peeks at their shoot! So fun...

Talking to the camera

2010-11-03T09:36:00.000-07:00

Well...Jes and Dan have celebrated 5 years of marriage!!! hip hip hurray!!!! I did a shoot for them to mark this momentous spot in their journey...Jes has proven to be one of my most "difficult" adults to shoot....because she TALKS to the CAMERA to ease her camera anxiety....THANK THE LORD for digital technology! This was fun though heheh... enjoy!

Sweet baby and sweeeet weather!

2010-10-28T20:20:00.000-07:00

Today it felt like summer but looked like FALL! Amazing! The perfect weather warranted some picture taking...and today I had the opportunity to take some pictures of Moses' buddy Juliet...and her parent's of course. Here is a sneak peek at their shoot.

Uncle Frank Jr & Katie!

2010-10-14T12:35:00.000-07:00

Our dear friend Frank is heading off to Iraq for 6mos with the airforce.......(to sit and play solitaire at a desk ;) right katie! So I jumped on the opportunity to head downtown with them and capture some fun shots before he leaves. Hope these pictures will help keep you close while you're apart.

Kat

2010-06-04T06:49:00.000-07:00

The ever so cute Kat had her 2nd photo shoot a few wks back. We went to the lovely Elm Bank Reservation in Wellesley on a BEAUTIFUL day. Kat cracks me up.....she not only has the cutest smerk, but she LOVES the garden...Put her in the flower beds and she investigates the plant life as if she were a genuine botanist already! Perhaps there is a little career foreshadowing! Anyways... enjoy!

the "Chatham office"

2010-05-16T17:19:00.000-07:00

One of the MANY perks of being a photographer is my office is ALWAYS changing, unlike in the world of rehab where every gym seems to be in the basement. A few wkends ago I got to travel Chatham on the Cape for an engagement shoot. Danielle and Evan are getting married in NY this summer (hip hip hurray!) We had a great time exploring Chatham and all it's Cape-iness glory! Thanks for a fun day guys!

Family fun at Gore Estate!

2010-05-16T14:08:00.000-07:00

Got to play with at Gore Place in Waltham last week! Here are a few snaps of the ever so fun and silly Smith fam! Don't you worry baby I., It is now officially documented in pictures that you were a baby! Not sure we have more then 2 of my sister proving her infancy! Oh to be #3!!! Thanks for a fun day Smith's!

Baby Carnes' cousin!

2010-05-10T14:46:00.000-07:00

Well here is another good looking belly (no not mine!) but that of baby carnes' first macleod cousin (pending arrival in June). Can't wait to meet the other baby Mac.

Baby Mia

2010-05-10T08:54:00.000-07:00

Well a few days after the bellies and puppies shoot, baby Mia made her debut!! The puppies are cute but Mia has now stolen the show!

Bellies and puppies

2010-05-10T08:49:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shots from Keri's shoot! She has two older babies: AJ and Jack (too cute!) But we're all looking fwd to the latest addition's arrival... (Some people look great pregnant---you will not see my belly on this blog any time soon!)

UPDATE

2010-05-10T08:38:00.000-07:00

Well.. clearly I have been slacking on my blog updates...but all in good reason.... Baby Carnes, due in July, gave me a run for my money from Nov through April... BAH! So here I am catching up! Hope you enjoy some of my recent work! (this is my best masterpiece yet)

2009-11-19T14:00:00.000-08:00

Introducing the new cutest cousins!!! Last sunday I got to return to my favorite old stomping grounds of Moody St in Waltham with Alisha and Ryan B. and Ryan's brother/ sister-in-law. Alisha and Jessica had little girls right around the same time...(I wonder if Ryan's parents had anything to do with this...2 grandbabies at once!) Enjoy a few sneak peeks at our shoot together! Oh and I miss being on Moody St every day.

2009-11-15T09:26:00.000-08:00

It is "newborn season," well at least at Newton Pres where we have had LOTS of babies born in OCT. Most of which I am getting to meet from behind the lens! This wkend I had time to hang out with the Paul, Jacque and the newest little "Kat." And once again.... another cute baby!

2009-11-04T15:27:00.000-08:00

So I got to discover a great park in Brookline with the Robinson's! It was halloween day, so there were lots of cute kiddos in costumes around (including a toddler dressed up like a garden gnome, AMAZING!) Here are a few of the pics from our time together! ENJOY

2009-10-30T08:32:00.000-07:00

I do love fall in New England! This past weekend Jeff and I snuck away down to Houghton's Pond with Emi, Voytek and their kiddos; Mika and Immanuel! Beautiful colors...crisp fall air... and of course lots of fun family pictures. I think 3yo's are probably one of the hardest clients, but none the less...the word "boogies" goes a long way!

2009-10-29T20:07:00.000-07:00

I got to hang out with Alex and capture some senior portraits! As you can see... she's way pretty and takes great photos...despite what she tells you...Anyways... it was a lot of fun to run around Newton Center... and Newton Corner... not to mention we got to grab starbuckies after the shoot....Something you can't do with toddlers! Here are just a few quick edits from our shoot...

2009-10-27T15:33:00.000-07:00

Introducing....Anna Grace! I had a hard time putting her down to take pictures... she's a snuggler and so am I! Here are just a few snaps of her first shoot!

2009-10-27T06:23:00.000-07:00

Sunday I had fun with the Petersen's out in the woods of Dover MA! Nothing like backyards with hammocks and tree forts! I think this is the first time I realized that the Petersen clan is starting to turn into young adults...AHHHH! It is fun to watch and see who and what kids turn into!

2009-10-23T11:35:00.000-07:00

Well this was certainly the easiest baby-shoot I've had! Melissa is bestfriends with my sister-in-law Chris and is expecting in December. (CONGRATS!) Melissa and Peter were married at Brooksby Farms and that is where we returned to capture this special time! Jeff and I got to get a nice fall fix as well...we came home with cider donuts, cider, mums, pumpkins (a white one! who knew they made white pumpkins), apples and swirly bread! YUM!

2009-10-23T11:29:00.000-07:00

I thought 5 babies was a challenge! Check this one out! I had the opportunity to do a family shoot for the Choi's, whom I met through PCNS. They are a really fun family with three high energy boys! Not to mention they are quite the characters. We had a great time on the Wellesley Town Hall.

2009-10-23T11:21:00.000-07:00

You think a family shoot is challenging...Try a photo-party for 5 babies under 9 months! One of my bestfriends Melissa, decided to give framed prints as baby gifts to her 4 mommy friends! I think its a brilliant idea!!! How many feetie-pj's does a baby need...Ladies... give photo packages for your next baby shower gift!!! Here are a few of the pictures from that shoot!

2009-10-23T11:15:00.000-07:00

This summer, Jeff and I had a great opportunity to vacation with the Campbell family to the Outer Banks, NC (OBX). Lots of fun in the sun, few stings of the jellies, wild ponies and of course...lots of pictures!

2009-10-23T11:10:00.000-07:00

It is always fun to watch your friends have babies! It cracks me up what we can all create! Margaret and Lillian (Maggie and Lily) are the beautiful girls belonging to my childhood friend Meghan! We had a fun time at Waverley Oaks Park in Waltham. Maggie is quite the character...and lots of fun!

2009-10-23T10:48:00.000-07:00

This summer I had the opportunity to meet one of my college buddy's newest and cutest addition Haley! As you can see she's pretty darn sweet! And she loves Lake Winnipesaukee, so she's IN in my book!

Well its about time!

2009-10-23T10:23:00.000-07:00

It is about time that I launched the blog! Enjoy catching up on a some of my fall shoots!
