On a recent beautiful, bright fall afternoon I had the true pleasure of capturing a sweet three week old baby girl. My afternoon was filled with warmth…hanging out in a pretty pink nursery with the only sound coming from the click of my camera and the distant hum of country radio downstairs. Little did I know that baby H would have the most laid-back parents who were so fun to chat with and a dog that was ready and willing to pose for pictures! What an honor it was to capture this new family of three (or four!)…can’t wait to see you at the park in about a year or so:)

The blog is about to come down with some serious baby fever. I have had the immense pleasure of capturing several newborns over the past few weeks, and have loved every sleepy moment.

This baby girl was tiny and oh so sweet both asleep and awake. She was cuddly and warm in the arms of her parents, happily dozing in her beautiful light-filled nursery. Mom and Dad have booked a milestone package, so I will be lucky enough to watch her grow over the next year!

Back in the day, I would jump at any and every opportunity to babysit my (numerous!) younger cousins. Watching them was a job that I loved, felt proud to do, and took very seriously. My Auntie Jen and Uncle Ed would let me and my sister come over every once and a while to watch Matt and Joe…brothers who are a little over a year apart. Even though I was young myself, it was very clear then that Jen was an unbelievable mother who was raising two respectful, thoughtful, kind, smart boys. Fast forward almost two decades later (yikes!) and I now know that Jen and Ed were successful in their parenting. What’s more, they are role models to me and my husband as we navigate life with two boys, fifteen months apart. Jen and Ed have the somewhat overwhelming task of watching Matt enter his next phase as a college freshman, with Joe close behind. To mark the occasion, we got together for a session in late summer. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover how it feels to witness the two little boys that I used to watch swim in my Gram’s pool, eat funfetti cake during birthday parties, and sing along to the latest song on the radio (Wooo hoooo!) now grown into young men who are undoubtedly going places.

Thank you for letting me capture these images~what a moment in time to cherish. I can’t wait to see what the next phase brings!

Another day, another awesome Boston elopement to share! Zack and Julia have many exciting things to celebrate this year…a new house, a new baby (coming very soon!), and now a wedding to top it all off. This session was somewhat of an early wedding gift from Julia’s family. In the days leading up to the ceremony, Julia’s mom and sister shared back and forth emails with me, explaining just how special Zack and Julia are as a couple, what their style is, and basically what makes them tick. Using some quick thinking, we were able to coordinate a little surprise after the ceremony. The Ames Hotel was gracious enough to allow us to use a room for a little celebration (including cake, of course). Nicole, the wedding coordinator, made it all happen, and I can’t say enough good things about her and her team. The images from the “after party” are some of my favorites…Julia and Zack look pretty glamorous if you ask me!

Julia & Zack…your little baby boy is already so lucky…You and your family are so thoughtful and care so much about each other. I wish you all the best in the weeks to come!
