What of the greatest blessings I received last fall was when I was asked to decorate the office at the Essex County OBGYN’s office in Danvers, MA.  I went to their practice with both of my pregnancies and I just adore everyone there.  When clients call me and tell me they found my name through that display it is such a great connection!  Tracy is one of those patients who saw my work there and decided to call.  We both agree their practice is just wonderful.  I am grateful they have given me the gift of sharing so many amazing people with me!  As if Tracy wasn’t wonderful enough, wait until you see her precious daughters face….   Without further a delay, meet Ms. Abby. This beautiful Mom has been very patient a few extra days for her sneak peek! Sorry Mom!

This sweet little face sure gave me a run for my money! Her Mommy was so fantastic and filled her little belly just before I got there.  Abby was super sleepy and she got all cozy as soon as I set up and let me shoot away for a solid 15 minutes before she realized she was in a photo shoot!  She was a touch over the age I typically shoot newborns (14 days and younger) so I knew she’d need a little extra love but I had no idea just how awake her sweet little face could stay!  Sleepy newborn shots are some of the favorite shots my clients ask for so when I get a little peanut like this who wants to stay awake, I actually kind of enjoy the change of pace Don’t get me wrong, I adore the sleepy poses too, but when I have beautiful eyes like this little lady, it adds a bit of excitement! She sure has a personality of her own already.  Abby knew what she wanted to do and that was that – I even tried all my tricks — she was stubborn, couldn’t miss a beat!   I told Tracy she might have her hands full in about 13 years!

I was lucky enough to meet this family two years ago. When they made the jump from three, to four. Just a few weeks ago they made the jump again, from four to five little blessings.  I cant’ believe how fast they are growing up.  It is an honor and a priviledge to watch my clients families grow up right in front of my eyes and my camera.  Just one of the gazillion reasons I love my job.  I am blessed.

Thank you for sharing your morning with me Heney’s!  As always it was fantastic — Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Much Love,

This sweet little family just welcomed their newest blessing last week.  Ms. Vivian is welcomed by her big brother Ethan and proud Mom and Dad as well as grandparents on both sides of the country! Their family of three has just jumped to a family of four and although its a bit of an adjustment, I have no doubt they will be settled in no time!

It was so wonderful to share the afternoon with all of you – and “Grammy — Mimi” too!  We’ll be in touch as soon as the rest of your gallery is ready!

Get some rest while you can — We’ll be in touch soon!!

Much Love,

I sit here tonight listening to the giggles of my 3.5 year old little man and his amazing daddy coming from a bedroom where that little man is supposed to be LONG asleep.  I sit here tonight remembering the face of the Ladybug as she wobbley (yes I made up that word!) walked her way across the room and giggled her face into her daddys chest.  I sit here tonight writing drafts of blog posts that will be coming of the changes we are making to our business together. I sit her tonight grateful for an amazing husband, father, best friend, business partner, supporter, giver.  How I got so lucky, I don’t know, but I do know I am grateful and give thanks every day I am alive. And just so I don’t forget, a few favorite moments and quotes from the day…
Jackson says to Rick as soon as they are awake this morning “Dad, why don’t girls and Mommy’s think toot toots are funny? Only boys do?”

Molly sat under the table picking up toys at Rick’s feet and whispered, “Da-da” while she handed him toys she isn’t supposed to play with.

Jackson sat on the couch after his bath and said “But Dad, my eye aren’t getting heavy yet, can we just watch another show?”

Molly climbed on our bed and did ‘the worm’ all the way to the end where Rick was blocking her and she just cracked up laughing on his face.

Jackson and Molly were in the bath and the two of them were belly laughing as they splashed as much as they could (while I was having a fit internally because water was OUT OF CONTROL!) Rick just joined their giggles and encouraged it like a awesome Daddy!

Jackson asked if he could sit between us tonight and said “Mom, Dad, I love our whole family…”

We love you and Molly too, Jackson David.
