It's a Big World Out There

This one is for Daddy...

2009-01-26T10:07:00.000-08:00

My Husband is back to work....after 2.5 long months, he is feeling better enough to go.

We miss you, Daddy. Have a good time at work today!

One of these things IS like the other!

2008-09-23T11:40:00.001-07:00

I think Mia and Sam are starting to look alike. What do YOU think??

And then there were FOUR....

2008-08-02T05:37:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the world, baby Sam!

Sam was born on July 22nd at 11:31 am. He was 8 lbs and 13 oz and 21 inches long.

Mia absolutely adores her baby brother. We couldn't ask for a better family, we feel so blessed.

The "G" family, Round 2.

2008-07-19T13:28:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of working with a family that I worked with last year (last year I photographed "her" side of the family, this year I photographed "his" family. They were a fun group, with a really neat location picked out -- the family farm.

Here are a few of "my" favorite shots from their session. I can't wait to hear what their favorite shots are!

The happy couple:

Grandpa and his two grandsons:

Wickett, the dog (I hope I spelled his name right!):

There were horses, too!

Grandmother, Brother, and Grandson:

Just one of my cutie pie...

2008-07-10T09:38:00.001-07:00

I wish I knew what she was thinking about.

It won't be too long now, I'll have pics to post of my other little peanut (he's not ready to come out, yet!)

Morgan!

2008-07-10T09:33:00.000-07:00

Morgan is the sweetest lil' girl! She is quite the mover (what 2.5 year old isn't?), but I still managed to get some shots of her.

A couple more of Molly and family...

2008-06-05T11:15:00.000-07:00

I LOVE this picture!

Molly is ONE!

2008-05-28T11:33:00.000-07:00

I shot this little gals pictures when she was just 5 months old. Now she's ONE! It's hard to believe just have fast time flies by.

Maya!

2008-05-28T11:28:00.001-07:00

My friend Kate was kind enough to let me take pics of her daughter, Maya (her and Mia are lil' buds). Maya wanted pics in her princess dress... look how pretty she is! Someone even asked if she was a little model!

Mia- Moto

2008-05-28T09:53:00.000-07:00

Here's just one of Mia. Being two and all, it's hard to get a pic of her standing still, let alone SMILING. I managed to get a pic her doing both, though. YAY!

Sienna!

2008-05-05T07:32:00.000-07:00

This is Mia's buddy, Sienna (we have a playgroup that we do every other week). Mia and three other little gals have a blast when they're together. I think her name fits her..look at the color of her hair :). I really like this shot:

And the same shot in B&W

Happy 1st Birthday, Elena!

2008-05-01T19:40:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pics from Elena's 1st Birthday at the Carousel. It was supposed to rainy, but it turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL day!

I love this time of year!

2008-05-01T08:47:00.000-07:00

These pics were all taken last weekend. Everything is in full bloom and I just LOVE it!

This one was taken when went out for ice cream. Apparently I was sitting in the perfect spot at the picnic table. Look at this gorgeous sunset!

Just one more of Amelia!

2008-04-29T10:48:00.000-07:00

She makes the best faces! I'm glad I got a second opportunity to take a few family shots of them!

Rub a dub dub...

2008-04-17T08:07:00.001-07:00

It's Mimi in the tub!

Spring has Sprung!

2008-04-10T10:57:00.000-07:00

It's going to be 70 outside today! In the midst of playing outside and playing with bubbles, look what we spotted in the front yard! Crocuses!

Happy 1st Birthday, Amelia!

2008-04-07T10:14:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to photography Amelia's First Birthday Party this past weekend. I wanted to provide a sneak peek, so I edited a couple of photos ( I was able to whisk Amelia away for a few minutes thanks to the help of one of Amelia's Mommy's friends!). Here they are (Mom, I promise I'll update once I have more)!

Happy 1st Birthday, Megan!

2008-04-07T10:07:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to do a First B-Day Party last weekend in Connecticut. Megan turned one and she had quite the party!

Here are a couple pics from her special day. I'm almost finished editing the session, once I'm done, I hope to add a couple more.

If you close your eyes and concentrate really hard....

2008-03-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

You just might be able to blow a bubble (she can blow them, by the way), I'm just particularly fond of this shot....

"E" is for Easter & Eggs!!

2008-03-24T07:21:00.000-07:00

Cadbury Eggs, that is! These delicious eggs are my favorite Easter treat. Thankfully no one else in my family likes them so I get them all to myself :).

Happy 1st Birthday, Cassidy!!

2008-03-19T08:56:00.000-07:00

Mimi and I were invited to Cassidy's 1st B-Day party this past weekend. We had a great time...it appears that the Birthday girl did, too! Here's a couple of pictures (Thanks, Mom, for letting me post these!)

Figuring the cake out...

Patty Cake (or Pat the Cake?)

Do you think she looks like The Pope in this picture?

It's TWINS!

2008-03-09T16:41:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to take pictures of twin baby girls a couple of weeks ago.

Here are a few of my favorites....

Moonie!

2008-02-05T11:50:00.000-08:00

Mia got a kitten for Christmas! Her name is "Moonie" (short for Moonina). Here are a couple of pictures...

Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snoooow....

2007-12-16T11:02:00.000-08:00

We had a snow storm on Thursday. It was the first storm that Mia's really gotten to "enjoy" since she was born. We got more snow today (well, last night)..but it's freezing rain outside right now so we're not going to go out and play in it until the rain stops. I'm dying to make a snowman!!

Here are some pictures from Thursday.

Morning. This is what it looked like when I stepped out the front door:

Phoebe and Mimi waiting to go outside

I think she liked it. Do you?

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas

2007-12-03T12:29:00.001-08:00

We were supposed to get snow, but instead we got ice. Made for some pretty pictures, though!

Cassidy's Photo Shoot...

2007-11-23T21:27:00.000-08:00

I had the opportunity to take pictures of lil' Ms. Cassidy again. Here are a couple of my favorites from her most recent session...

Three is the magic number!

2007-11-05T09:49:00.001-08:00

I had the opportunity to take pics of Triplets yesterday. They were so much fun (and so well behaved!). Here is my favorite picture from the bunch -- I'll post a couple more once they're edited!

We - Are- FAMILY....

2007-11-03T06:54:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I had a session with a family of eight. They are a beautiful family and were all SO much fun to be around. Here a couple of my favorites...

Gram and Gramp:

and the whole family:

More to come!

Shmi

2007-11-01T11:35:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pics from a recent session I had. Shmi is a fun-loving 4 year old. It sure was windy that day, but we still got some fun pics!

Mia put her first POO in the Potty....

2007-10-17T11:52:00.001-07:00

POOH, that is! She's so silly!

Thought everyone could use a good laugh!

Molly!!

2007-10-15T20:14:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had a session with 5 month old Molly. She was such a sweetie pie. Here are a couple of the pictures that I've edited so far...
And here is my personal favorite:

More to come! Stay tuned!

Pumpkin Patch pics....

2007-10-08T19:25:00.001-07:00

There were a lot of picture taking opportunities at the Pumpkin Patch yesterday.

Here are a few of my favorites:

This little piggy ( Pumpkin Patch, Take 2!)

2007-10-08T19:23:00.001-07:00

It must be Autumn!

2007-09-27T10:46:00.000-07:00

I found these leaves perfectly plopped the other day.

Raking is going to be a lot of work, but the leaves will make for some really fun pictures!

Oldies but Goodies....

2007-09-25T11:59:00.000-07:00

At the beginning of the summer I did an impromptu maternity shoot with a family friend. The the lighting in the house was perfect and I was inspired so I snapped a few shots. I'd love to do another maternity shoot. There is nothing more beautiful than a mother to be!

Here are a few shots from the shoot.

Today has been brought to you by the letter "E"...

2007-09-23T19:59:00.000-07:00

We took a little trip to the "Big E" today (For those of you that don't know, it's the Eastern States Exposition). Basically it's a huge Exposition with lots of People, Lots of Animals, lots of Vendors, and lots of FOOD. We were going to get a Maine baked Potato, but the line was waaaaaaaay too long and it was WAY too hot. We decided to get cheese fries and fried donuts instead (tasty and FAT FREE food. Ha! Yah right!). Here a few pics from today--- I would've taken more, but it was SO crowded. Better luck next year!

Cassidy!

2007-09-17T10:49:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of taking pics for my friend, Jan. Her daughter, Cassidy, is an absolute doll. She was a great sport - she was pleasant even when it was time for her to take a nap! I also took pics
for her brother, too
... I have to upload
them, but when I'm done,
I'll be sure to post
pics of them, too :).

Session One!

2007-09-15T18:45:00.000-07:00

In attempt to build a portfolio, I've been trying to do some free sessions. My very first session was with an 8 month old named Taylor (I work with her Momma). They say practice makes perfect...so that's what I'm trying to do (practice, practice, practice). The shots are by no means perfect- But her Mom loved 'em and I was pretty happy with the results, too (and hey, it was my first try).

I could really use some luck tomorrow. I have a second shoot with another friend and her six month old as well her her brother and his two boys. It should be fun --- I'm hoping to have some neat shots for them. Plus, I got a new flash (Thank You, Hubby!) and I'm dying to try it out! :)
