Emily & Jay {Boston wedding photographer, wedding photography}

in , ,

Emily's mom Pat got a hold over me over the summer asking me if I'd be free to photograph her daughter's "non-wedding" in December. She conveyed to me at the time that Emily and her fiance Jay were headed to Kenya for work and when they are back for Christmas, they would like to get married at Cambridge City Hall and follow that with a small luncheon. Something different? I'm in!

I loved everything about Emily and Jay's day (and hopefully they did too!). They wore bright colors and had an easy nature about them. Cambridge City Hall is a beautiful building and the two were real troopers in the cold air afterwards during their portrait session.

The luncheon which followed at Upstairs on the Square* suited them with it's simultaneous vibrancy, whimsy and class.

* I'd link it but it's closing for good in a few days.

Amy's Family {Boston Family Portraits}

in ,

The last time I saw Amy with her kids in my parents neighborhood where they live, Fiona was a baby and Aidan was a toddler not really talking much. My how time changes things! My favorite quote of the session (aside from the kids impersonating the intro to AFV "And now here's your host! Tommmmm Bergeroooooooonnnnn!") was when Fiona looked up at her mom and said "You look like a pirate princess!"

And P.S. I wanna find Fiona's white top in my size.

Chris and Sam {Family Photographer Boston}

in , ,

Sam is the Mayor of Adorableland and his twin brother Chris is the Baron von Cuteness of the area. I photographed their mom and dad back when they got hitched on a very very cold but happy day. And now, here are the boys, joining in on their parents' fun and silly antics.

Jessica and Brendan are Hitched ! {Boston Wedding Photographer}

in

Easy going Jessica got a hold of me a while back and asked me to be her wedding shooter. As I'd photographed her sister Beth's wedding last winter, I knew Jessica was going to be a fun person to be around. I was not wrong. Jessica married Brendan at the Andover Country Club. Misty, chilly weather forced us inside but it didn't dampen the joy of the evening.  Congratulations to your both!

Here is a collection of my favorites.

Libby & Adam

in ,

I was flattered and excited when my friend Libby asked me to shoot her engagement photos.  I've known Libby for many years, since we started working together during our stints at The Palm Beach Post.   An exceptional photographer herself, I was a little nervous about our session, but these two made it easy. We started our shoot on West Palm Beach where I lived for six years, taking advantage of the waning light and the massive banyans, and then we wandered over to Palm Beach (where I have never ever lived). Worth Avenue on Palm Beach was a lovely location as we wandered at the perfect time of day - magic hour! And then it was on to the beach where we were met by their dogs Doubleday and Kira.  Getting those two adorable slobberers (and I'm talking about the dogs. The humans followed direction very well) to look in the right direction was a hilarious feat, and a lot of fun!

Thanks Libby, for such a great honor, an awesome session, and a super fun visit in Florida!

Fall Mini Sessions 2013

in , , , ,

This year's fall mini sessions were a great success! I love to see returning clients and meeting some news ones! The tricycle I invested in for my sessions got use for the first time as well. As usual, Endicott Park doesn't disappoint.

Deirdre and Jeremy Get Hitched

in

Deirdre, who's from the area but now resides in Texas, got a hold of me months back about her Monday wedding. Yes, you read that right. Monday.  So, I met her and her fiance Jereme and their sweet little boy Liam, along with their closest family members, on the rocks at Halibut State Park. If you haven't been, you must! It's absolutely gorgeous. There was a bagpiper, and kilts, and a sister who married them. It was quite cool. It was a beautiful day with no rain and the couple weren't the least bit phased when they realized they'd left their rings at home and had to  borrow someone else's for the time being.

The people of Rockport could not have been cooler about our descending on their little downtown to shoot portraits here and there. Deirdre and Jereme even got a free ice cream out of the deal!

And the Most Coordinated Goes To...

in , ,

As you can see from THIS SHOOT and THIS SHOOT, Sandi always coordinates her family in a great colorful way. No one's ever too matchy matchy, never appears to try too hard, and the color always pops. This year was no different! Need help getting your family dressed for your session? She's the one to consult!

Hunter's Here

in , , ,

This session with Julia, Matt, two-and-a-half week old Hunter, and Bono the dog took place a while back and I'm just now blogging it. Sheesh! But it was a great session - Matt and Julia had awesome light in their home. Lucky me!

Lena is Three Days Old!

in , , ,

I received an email from Lena's mom Ryan about a month ago, letting me know she had a baby on the way and wanted newborn shots. When she contacted me one day after Lena was born to schedule her session, I was impressed. Lena had arrived right on her due date! We exchanged info and I laughed to myself when she gave me her address. I emailed her back "Well, I'll be walking to your photo session because you're only a few houses away from me!" It's a small world!

Finley!

in , , ,

I photographed Finn a while back when he first arrived here in our world and then again about six months later. I also photographed his parents' wedding. They are great people and he is a total joy to be around. Fin is 16 months now. Here are some shots from our most recent session which happened while we spent the weekend hanging out together in the cape.

Rehan is One!

in , ,

I love Rumana, Sarfraz, Aayan and Rehan. When I met them at Endicott Park, Aayan hopped out of the car all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to go and on his best behavior, having been promised a treat for smiling (he's always quite good during our sessions actually). Then his father stated as he reached into the car for Aayan's younger brother Rehan "Here's 2.0!" It couldn't be more true! Rehan is now one year old and I can't get over how fast he's grown!  I laughed out loud when I saw this first photo. When I took it, Rehan was babbling something of the "da da da !" nature, but in the photo, he looks a bit like a stand-up comedian, "so a duck and a penguin walk into a bar, see..."
