Glowing.  In every sense of the word.  This stunning Mom (and Dad!) to be are absolutely adorable. We were blessed with one of the most beautiful days of this year so far this past Saturday -  54 Degrees and blue skies – can you ask for anything more!

So we headed down to the waterfront in Newburyport and decided to do the majority of our session out there.  The historic feel of the city matched with the excitement of these parents to be made for a rockin’ session!

Jessica was rockin' these fantastic red shoes! I was so excited I saw what she was going to wear -- What a hot mama to-be!! Love this shot!

a moment of quiet surrounded by love.

Much Love,

I love when clients share how they displayed my images in their home.  It is such an honor to have my work in so many amazing families hearts and houses.  I love the way my clients love their images and makes me grateful every day to have them in my life!

I got an email this afternoon from one of my favorite clients.  Jenni just wanted to share how they ended up displaying the wall images we picked out together.  She loves them and so.do.I!!  Thanks for sending this along Jenni – It looks awesome!

If you have a display in your house from our session send me an email – I’d love to see it!

Much Love,

This sweet baby girl was a dreeeammmm at our session. She slept all but about 10 minutes, just enough time to fill her tiny belly and then it was back to sleep.. Heavenly!

Her stunning Mommy tells me she is pretty much like this all the time. As a mother of two little blessings that loved to be up every hour and a half, I was jealous! Keep it up little one..

Despite making her grand arrival a month early, Sweet Celia is perfect and has stolen the hearts of all those around her.. And here is exactly why..

In the arms of her Daddy..

Chubby Cheeks

Is there anything sweeter then newborn piggies - I say no!

My personal favorite.. Can you believe someone made this blanket? - it matches my hat perfectly!!

Heather and Tim, It was so great to meet you — I can’t wait to show you the rest of your gallery — We’ll be in touch soon!

Much Love,

It’s the new black.  10 on Wednesday, not Tuesday.

1. Sometimes I have so many things racing through my head I a) can’t sleep and keep my poor husband up tossing and turning all night just as much as I am b) start to feel like I’m suffocating in my own thinking because I want to do so many things and I cant decide where to start and c) think I need to invent a time warp machine that would help me – and others I’m sure. There’s the answer, eh!?

2. I’m getting super excited for two upcoming events.  Next week I am headed to two days of Photography goodness at Inspire Boston — I know some of my sweet friend will be there and I look forward to meeting many more.  Any other New England area photog’s headed down to it?  The second event I’m super pumped for is Dane Sander’s — Fast Track Photographer Workshop! Dane is coming to Boston with his amazing workshop and I know he is going to fill my creative and business cup with crazy amounts of knowledge and I just can’t wait for it!  I’ve been part of Dane’s forum for a long time and I can’t wait to finally meet him!

3. Whats with the snow?  Apparently states that don’t get snow are getting crazy amounts, and states that do get snow are getting even more?  I’m kind of scared as the weather seems to be getting worse the older I get, or maybe I just pay attention now instead of just praying for snow days   Too bad Jackson hates the snow – when do they start liking it?  He just cries.  I have video to prove it.. perhaps I’ll get that on here too.

4. Speaking of video – Oh how we LOVE our FlipHD video.  That thing is awesome.  I know I keep talking about it, and I was supposed to be doing some work with it to put on the blog this morning at the Apple store, but due to a reschedule that’s postponed   – The greatest part is it fits in my pocket or diaper bag or even my purse. I love being able to capture little moments of the kids here and there.. The inner geek in me loves technology so much its ridiculous.

5.  Technology really is amazing.  Rick and I were watching a show last night about Colgan aircraft and how the airliners have such different requirements for regional jets and all that jazz.. but then it got us thinking on how its crazy that we can ACTUALLY fly. I mean the logistics of it are just insane, which is really why I don’t like to think about it to be honest.  But it did remind me of a funny video I put on my facebook a while back.. still makes me laugh everytime though.. check it out:

6. I love to people watch. It’s one of my favorite things to do, second to laughing I think. Which is quite nice since the two often go hand in hand. Sometime I look at the way people do things and it makes me wonder how they think thats a good idea? But isn’t that the amazing thing that we are all so different and can look at the same situation but do something completely different? Fascinating really. I love to see the way people interact. React. Hence my psychology degree I suppose.

7. I just reconnected with a friend from college via Facebook this week. Can I just say how excited I am!? Ms. Sherry and I were very close in college, and after college we lost touch for a bit. Not for lack of trying but we just kept missing each other and after a few years just after I had Jackson, I think, we reconnected over email. Unfortunately we lost touch again and I have spent the last few years searching for her. Little did I know she was married and didn’t use her maiden name so clearly I couldn’t find her!! Well, although I don’t like facebook for a lot of things, I do LOVE that it brought her back to me! We chatted the other night as if no time had passed at all and already are making plans to get the girls from college back together for a mini reunion. EXCITED. yes, cannot wait for that! See, inner geek – love technology. So glad to hear from you Ms. Sherry – So glad we’ll all be getting together soon.

Do you keep in touch with your college friends? High school friends? You should. Not because you have to, but because it might be nice. I know everyone says – ‘well if i wanted to keep in touch with people I would,’ but sometimes life happens and things get in the way — not that its an excuse — but sometimes you just need a little nudge to get back in touch. And then you pick up where you left off. And its awesome.

8. What is also going to be awesome is the newborn session I have on Friday. I cant wait to get my hands on a little peanut — I’ve been missing them! I know she’s going to be a little doll.. stay tuned for the sneak peak on that!

9. I can’t believe I’m actually going to say it but I can actually start to understand the needy feeling for gym! Yes, that’s right, I actually find myself needing/wanting to go. The girl who used to hate it! Crazy I know. Although running yesterday was killing my knees — apparently I’m not spring chicken anymore… perhaps I should switch to the elliptical? We’ll see…

10. He let me take his picture! Yep, Jackson said I could take his picture — not before I bribed him of course – totally not above it! But, he agreed so we could make his valentine. As soon as I loaded his images on the computer I was stopped in my tracks. He.Looks.So.Old. What happened to my sweet little baby? He’s all grown up and I can’t believe how fast time is going by. Check it out for yourself…

Until next time.. Much love,

Yep, we’re a day late. I know. Happens to be how the workdays fell this week.  Now let’s get to it!
1. How is it February?  For real, I can’t believe its already February.  How did that happen so fast? I suppose I should get working on Jacksons Valentine’s day cards, eh? I hate when I forget about those… I feel like I do them last minute every year!.. hmm..

2. I am in love with how Mollly’s little personality is blossoming into such a character!  She is really starting to make things clear on what she likes, what she thinks is funny, and what she doesn’t like.  Oh lord, we could have a problem in about 12 years.

3.  Jackson has been loving having some special Daddy/Jackson days. I love hearing them giggle and play from the room over – or even have Jackson tell me his favorite part of the day was playing with daddy.  Metls my heart.  I have a good man – our kids have an amazing father.

4. I need to get my camera serviced.  I’m a little scared to let my baby go somewhere too far out of my hands but I am having shutter release problems – focus issues and i’m getting crazy lines through my images.  Yes, not good.  Photographer friends, do you have any suggestions besides sending it to Canon?  Maybe I’ll rent the 5D Mark II while its away getting fixed to play… It sure is purty .. I saw Ms. Erin’s last week.

5.  Still totally excited about the Gym.  Crazy, right?  I need to actually set up a training session but I am happy to report I’ve been really enjoying that time for me.  I never knew I could love the gym – let alone feel upset when I don’t get there.  Yes, this is the girl that HATED running. Huh..

6.  I am really excited for how much work I’m getting done on our new schedules but I sure am missing our playdates.  Hopefully next week we’ll be able to change somethings around a bit — the kiddos are asking for their friends and I’m asking for my coworkers

7.  Playmobil.  Jackson’s new obsession.  He got this for Christmas as it was the only thing he wanted.  He spends houuuursss playing!  It really is a wonderful imaginative toy and he loves to tell stories about it.  Mimi got jackson a few of the rooms that you can get to outfit the house.  If you have a toddler/preschooler I totally recommend them.  They even have a smaller version for the little tikes like Molly — Playmobil 123.  Be warned — the regular playmobil does have a LOT of VERY small pieces so you have to be careful around the wee little ones.. Hence why Molly got her own Playmobil 123.

8.  Super excited to be having dinner tonight with our good friends.  I have to say this new year has really been wonderful reconnecting and actually GETTING OUT with our friends.  Perhaps its because the kids are a little older, or perhaps we’re just making it a priority but it’s so very true.  You need to maintain a little bit of your own life – socially and emotionally – outside of the Crazies ..er. kids.

9. Hello Lost.  You make my head spin I don’t know WHAT just happened last night.

10.  Twitter.  Do you follow me? Clients –  I’m going to announce a 24 hour promotion so hurry – get on there — ADD ME!

Whew… made it
