One of my favorite things and one of the highest complements I can receive is when my clients refer me to people they know and love.  Some of my great friends, the Kagan’s, who I have done multiple sessions with (and still need to back blog as a matter of fact! Love ya, Gatey!) are family with this sweet family!  It is such an honor to share family memories and I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to meet such fantastic people!

Although the day started out warm, it dropped a few degrees just in time for us to head out by the water for our session! We started by the Ipswich Yatch Club as the sun was starting to set.  With a very quick stop at the marsh due to way too many green heads,  (ouch!) we decided to go back to their house where the kids showed me their awesome tree swing! For someone like me who doesn’t like heights, and who is a paranoid Mom at times, it did make my heart skip a beat or two, but the smiles are their faces were worth it

Courtney and Mark – Your family is absolutely beautiful.  It was so wonderful spending the evening with you! I can’t wait to show you the rest of your gallery! We will be in touch soon.

Much Love,

Look at the cuteness here:

Isn’t he just so perfect!  I know his parents think so and I definitely agree

Saturday morning I started the day catching up with this sweet family, and it made me feel like time is flying by!  When I was 6 years old, Merry, this adorable little man’s Mommy, was my babysitter!  My Mom put an add in the local newspaper for a babysitter and Merry answered it!  After countless hours of babysitting, and even a bit of guidance through high school and college, we have maintained a special bond over the years.  I can’t believe we are now Mom’s ourselves – but so grateful we get to share this journey together, now!

I could say so much but I’ll let the images speak for themselves. Check out this precious little blessing…

Merry and Chuck, it was so fantastic to catch up with you – It’s been too long! Congratulations on your amazing little blessed boy – he is wonderful!  Don’t blink – It goes so fast!

I can’t wait to see you again soon!

Much Love,

Have you ever been in the presence of pure love? Have you ever looked at a couple and known within an instant they are ‘that’ couple.  You know, the couple that is going to be holding hands when they are 80 years old. The couple that will greet each day with the idea that something amazing is about to happen. The couple that want more for each other than they want for themselves. The couple everyone wants to be.  Well, I am honored to say I was with that couple a few weeks ago. I was honored to be blessed enough to not only share in their incredible day, but to photograph it as well.

Amanda and Jason asked me to photograph their wedding a few months back.  Not only did I instantly fall in love with the idea of capturing their day, but I was honored because I have known Amanda since we were in kindergarten together!  Although we grew up together, we lost touch a bit because we attended different high schools, but I knew the second I opened her email it was as if no time had passed at all.  Despite not knowing much about what our lives had been like over the last few years (except for the fantastic ‘facebook updates’ we’d read about each other) we had really no idea where our paths had been, yet it didn’t even matter.  Amanda was generous in asking me to be a part of their day – how could I say no!

I was super excited to have my two friends shooting with me – The fantastically amazing Maura Moore of Irmalou Photography and the wonderful Steve Iadarola of Steve Iadarola Photography. Both Steve and Maura were just as happy as I was to see the beautiful location. Amanda and Jason were surrounded by their family and friends at Brooksby Farm in Peabody, MA.  Despite the rain that came just before the ceremony, their day was filled with warm, sunshine and happiness.  The things that their family and friends clearly love most about them.

The images can speak for themselves but anyone who was there can attest to the amazing amount of love that surrounded everyone that day.  The joy in peoples faces, the warmth in everyones smiles, the love that wrapped around each person celebrating the marriage of these two was nothing short of an honor to experience.

two of my favorite shots of the day!

happy.

Although everyone loves to look at the bride when she walks down the asile, I love to look at the groom. Jason's face says it all, doesn't it!?

Amanda's beautiful gown.

A perfect bouquet for the bride.

One of my favorite moments as Jason read his vows to Amanda.

love.

If there was ever a look of pure love - I think this is what it looks like

Amanda and Jason – Thank you for allowing me to share in your amazing day. Thank you for giving me the honor to give you your memories forever.  We will be in touch soon – I hope these photographs remind you just how incredible you are. Welcome to the rest of your life. Welcome to your happy.

Much love,

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of meeting the nephew of one of my best college girlfriends, Kristen’s. There is no greater honor than my friends passing along my name to share in family memories of those who they love. A few months ago Kristen purchased a gift certificate for a newborn session as their baby shower gift (**NOTE!!!!  WE LOVE GIVING GIFT CERTIFICATES for gifts!! Its the gift of memories — way better than an outfit, right?!)  Anyways, Last week Kristen’s brother Erich and his wife Emilie emailed me to say their new little tiny blessing had arrived.  Lucky for me I had just picked up a few new newborn props I was dying to use!  The little pint of peanuts was a dream! He didn’t make a peep for almost he entire session – He let me move him around, change out blankets, switch props with only one break for a feeding and I think he is the first newborn that didn’t pee on anything! Way to go kid – that’s impressive!

Here are a few favorites from the morning..

Right on cue! Second click of the day and this is what I got

something so sweet about tiny little fingers

new scale + adorable newborn = perfect.

antique little carriage -- just his size!

Erich and Emilie – Thank you for sharing your new little blessing with me.  He is beautiful and picked incredible parents.  We will be in touch soon when the rest of your gallery is ready!

Much Love,
