A magical family...

I had an amazing session with this wonderful family this weekend. I have known them for 4 1/2 years now. Our children adore playing with each other and I just enjoy their company. This year, like last year, I had the pleasure of adding her parents to the family pictures. It was a gorgeous day and we were able to finish before it started getting warm. This family has been through more than I can imagine in the past year and it was a gift for me to be able to do this session for them this year. There is so much love, caring and respect between all these family members. I really had a wonderful time!

Miss C and I had fun together taking pictures. She is such a sweet little lady. It always seems like playtime instead of work taking her pictures...
This place is a special one for her parents. It was nice to get different shots than last year in the same location. Poor little Miss L was not having fun that day. Luckily I had some tricks in my camera bag that not only worked to make her smile...but the rest of the family as well!

3 generations of truly amazing women...

What a beautiful family...

These were the first shots where Miss L was happy. She just wanted to do her own thing this morning and we just went with it. Luckily, she wanted to be near the rock and her sister...for a few seconds anyway! They are such sweet girls

The sweet relationship between a daughter and her daddy!

love, love, love the sweet moments of motherhood!

Adorable Little Miss L!

Her amazing parents. I was happy to be able to do this session with them as well. It is so sweet to capture generations of families.

I hope you all like the pictures. I have many more, these were a few of my favorites. I truly had a wonderful morning with you all. Hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful. Enjoy!

A special 4 year old...

This is such a special family for me to shoot. I have been taking this guy's pictures since he turned 1! I can not believe this was his 4 year session. We have become good friends over the years and our kids play well together. I never know what adventure they will lead me on during a photo session :) It is always a pleasure to spend time with the four of them. We were lucky this time because Heather's parents and sister were in town for the 4th birthday party. So we actually got a picture of almost the whole family!

It was so much fun taking these pictures. I hope you like them Heather!

I LOVE this one. Even though the boys are not looking at the camera, they are holding hands. It is hard to catch those moments with these two. Usually they are having too much fun running and playing to stop for a moment like this...

Sweet exploration of a new place, not much is more simple and sweet.

He is such a sweet 4 year old full of curiosity and life

Thank you for having me be such a part of these boys lives. It is so wonderful to capture them as they grow. There are plenty more too!

Belly Love...

I adore Maternity photo sessions. There is something so pure and amazing about this time in a life. I had the pleasure of doing this session this past weekend. This is a sister of a friend of mine. She was in town for her nephews birthday and we fit in a session. Unfortunately her husband had to work, so she got all of the attention! It was a beautiful morning with a truly beautiful mother. Thank you Shannon for scheduling this with me. It was such a nice time. There are more pictures, but these are some of my favorites! Enjoy...

We fit in a few sister and family shots while I was doing a session with her sister. It really could not have worked out better.

Pure beauty in a belly....thank you Shannon for allowing me into this time. It was a joy. I can not wait to get you the rest of the pictures!

My girl is growing up

This space is typically where I post projects I am working on or previews of sessions for clients. I could not let these pictures go without a post though. Our little girl is turning 5. I took her out 2 different times to try to get her 5 year pictures done. She is in a stage where she needs to "pose" for her pictures. At first it frustrated me that I was not getting a picture of "her"...then I realized this is her. She is my energetic, fun-loving, caring, loving attention, posing child. I love her for who she is...why not capture THAT spirit in the pictures. So...here is our little girl...growing up!

One of her favorite poses, shoulder up to the ear and slightly turned :)

My princess tomboy....loves to pose, dress up, sing and dance...yet jumps, runs, plays, climbs without abandon.

Not sure which pose she was doing here, and I really don't know if I could do this one myself!

Our amazing girl....glad I captured who you ARE...and I love that person! :)

Fun, Creative and Different project

I have started some new creative photography. It originally started a few months ago when I took train pictures for my dad. I really enjoyed the outcome of those and decided to try some more. We recently have had some construction done around the house so have re-done Jacob's room. I really wanted him to have a room he could grow into so decided to try my hand at this project. It was lots of fun. Out of respect for Hubby, I did not put any of his car on here. However, when we were back East we stopped by his dad's old department and I got a bunch of great ones. We have a few of these up now in the new room and they look really neat. I am having a great time spreading my creative wings and trying new things. Enjoy!

Adorable Boys

I was able to capture this beautiful family this past weekend. I last took their pictures when the little one was still waiting to make his arrival. It is amazing to see these children grow. It was a fun session. Little R was really in the mood to smile at the beginning and I am glad we captured those when we did. Big R was a ham for me, to say the least! It was a lot of fun and I hope we got what you wanted Elsa. Thank you for having me in your home and letting me play with your adorable boys.

I just could not get enough of Little R with those eyes and lips. He is such a cutie!

All the boys...

Big R was telling a funny joke or something at this moment. I love a tradition family photo, but these tell such a deeper story. There is something so sweet about this family.

These boys love each other so much. Little R just adores his big brother, Except he did not want to smile when he was in the picture with him :)

Just look at those cheeks and smile

Like I said, a total ham for me! I loved it though and he was having a great time.

Such sweet boys.

I had such a wonderful time capturing this family. There are quite a few more I need to go through still, but could not resist these!

Impromptu Session

I had the awesome opportunity to squeeze a 10 minute photo session in on our vacation. My oldest friend has a beautiful, energetic, loving and amazing family. She wanted to get a picture of her with each of her boys and I wanted to try to get a family picture. We had about 20 minutes before we needed to leave CT and head off to MA...why not fit in a photo session in that time! I hope I got the pictures she wanted. I personally love them. Chris, hope you like them. I miss you like crazy and am so glad we got to spend some time with you and your family.

Her adorable older boy. She and I have known each other since we were his age, sort of crazy for us to think about that! :)
This was the attempt at getting our 4 kids together for a picture. Not too bad for attempting it at bedtime with an almost 5, almost 3, almost 2 and almost 1 year old!

So sweet...

The happy couple after 3 late nights staying up late chatting with us. We can not thank you enough for your hospitality and fun.

Look at little K's smile!

Love these two!

An amazing family. Thank you for letting me squeeze these pictures in for you. I hope you like them. I will send you a disk :)
