I love second shooting and have been doing quite a bit over the past months. There is a chance to learn, to be creative, and to get shots that might not ordinarily happen as the primary shooter. Way back in August, I had the pleasure of joining the very talented Kristin of Kristin Jordan Photography for the Chatham Bars Inn wedding of Trevor and Michelle. From the start of my day capturing the guys getting ready, to cocktail hour, and up until the very romantic first dance, the whole experience was so beautiful and heartfelt. Trevor’s reaction to his bride walking up the aisle just might be my favorite part..he was literally overcome with emotion. Not surprising since Michelle was stunning from head to toe. Here is just a sample of my favorites from the day. Thank you again, Kristin, for allowing me to take part in this amazing wedding!

Megan and my sister, Melissa have been friends since the first grade. As far back as I can remember, Megan has pretty much been a part of my life. I see her at the beach with my family, at the breakfast table playing pretend waitress (handing out DIY menu’s made in marker), and watching Mary Poppins and/or Hocus Pocus for the 100th time on our couch. Later on in life, Megan and Melissa went to the same college and once again we made memories to share. As the years went by, I always wanted the same thing for both my sisters…happiness. Well Megan has found that and more in her fiancé Mike. From the first meeting, I knew he was “the one”…they complement each other perfectly and have an effortless kind of love. They make the same kind of jokes and laugh together without skipping a beat. It goes without saying that these seaport engagement pictures are special, and I am thrilled to be able to share them as Megan and Mike plan for their big day!

I have had the privilege of capturing the Prudente family on different occasions over the past six months. The first was a fabulous first birthday party for Miss Victoria, then on to her baptism a few months later. This fall, Anya and Jim called me to once again photograph their family. They both happen to be very talented wedding photographers, and were able to find time in their busy schedule to meet up on the Eslplanade. I am so glad they did! It was amazing to see how much their sweet little girl has grown and to watch her running all over the place. Their little bulldog, Oliver, made the session complete with his handsome bow tie. Love this family and the happiness they share with each other!

Parents Sara and Chris hit the nail on the head when they described their little guy as having “joie de vivre.” My new friend was so cheerful for the entire hour we were together. Running, jumping, falling down and saying “boom”, you name it, he was happily playing along. Sara and Chris obviously get a big kick out of their awesome son and it is easy to see why. Thank you for allowing me to capture the spirit of P…what a joy he is to be around!
