Emma, Ben and Molly

I am so blessed to have the best friends in the whole entire world... but i am twice as lucky because my spectacular friends also happen to be my family!

This weekend I ventured out to the 'burbs and I had the most wonderful time photographing Molly, Emma and Ben....



These beautiful angels may look familiar to anyone who saw the photos from Hampton Beach or Labor day weekend because they are always with me where the good things are happening!!!

Thank you Wendy and Larry for having me photographs three of the most gorgeous children in the whole world.

Sammy and Grayson!

Nothing quite makes you feel like a kid again as much as jumping in the leaves... and that what i had the chance to do with Grayson and Samantha yesterday afternoon!!!

Thank you to Tracy who was so AMAZING at getting her kids to smile in the photos... She is the hardest working mom/photo assistant I have ever met!!!

Remembering Kay

This was a very sad week for Chris and his family as his maternal grandmother passed away at the age of 87.

I unfortunately never had the chance to meet her, but i had the chance to go through several photographs from throughout her life.

One of the things that i loved discovering about her is that she and chris's grandfather were married for 66 years... i think that is truly amazing.





This is the memorial slideshow that we created which was played during the wake.

Wishing all of the Perreault and Martell Families comfort during this time.

Charlotte

Last week, I was invited by Meg and Jeff to come and photograph Charlotte at their home in a very cozy and picturesque neighborhood in Boston!

We started in their front yard, which was so welcoming and photogenic with the pumpkin and other autumn inspired decorations!



then we headed to the park just down the street where swinging was the big hit of the day!!







Charlotte's mom had emailed me asking to do a special portrait with Holiday gifts in mind!! She's so smart - now she wont have to wait in line at the mall this season!!!

Meg and Jeff, thank you so much for welcoming me into your home to play with and photograph Miss Charlotte!!

Red Sox win in 2007

Any New England sports fan will tell you that we are some of the luckiest fans in the world!!! The Tom Brady/Bill Bellicheck Dynasty of the last few years, the Bruins and Celtics of the 80s and who could forget The 2004 Idiots who call Fenway Park home!

in 2004, we all were beside ourselves with happiness when the Red Sox won the world series after 86 years of broken hearts and the inevitable annual August crash!

We were all still on the 2004 World Series high when we all watched the Red Sox sweep the Colorado Rockies in 4 games.




Here are the handful of photographs that I took from the victory parade.... I decided last minute to go, so i just caught it at the end....

but if i have to settle for photos of just Papelbon and Varitek, I'll take them!

and after last weeks match up of Brady and Manning, I predict another celebration parade in our very near future!!!

Amy and Russ

One of my favorite love stories of all time is the story of Amy and Russ....

This bride and groom were high school sweethearts who had gone their separate ways after graduation and reconnected at their 20th reunion...

I met Amy when she was one of the winners at Dancing with the Realtors this past April and she asked me to come to her home and photograph her and Russ's combined birthday celebration.


To Amy's surprise (and mine too!) Russ proposed to Amy infront of their closests friends and family as they were about to cut their birthday cake... It was such a wonderful and fantastic moment that I was so fortunate enough to capture on film!


Amy and Russ had a small ceremony planned for the shores of York Beach Maine, but due to rain, their heartfelt ceremony was hosted inside at the Stage Neck Inn.


Here are some of the best photographs from throughout the day!



Amy and Russ, Thank you so much for sharing the excitement of this past year with me. I have truly enjoyed spending time with you and your families. You are both so lucky to have finally joined your lives with one another and I wish you the longest and most loving marriage.

Bryon and Malinda - Wentworth by the Sea Country Club

For Malinda and Bryon, the summer of 2007 was the season of celebration!!! They first exchanged vows and leis at Plum Islands Blu Inn on September 13th and then one week later, they had a church ceremony, complete with a new gown, rings, a veil and lots of dining and dancing!





And Bryon was looking so so so very handsome!



Malinda... so elegant....







Malinda took a Trolley to her ceremony...and it was just a little windy with all of the windows wide open!











We all jumped on the trolly and headed to the reception which was held at The Wentworth by the Sea Country Club in Rye, NH.






Some of the fabulous details...




First Dance...





When the sun set, the fog rolled in and we did some photos as close to the water as we could get...






See more of Bryon and Malinda's second wedding celebration photos below...

Thank you Bryon and Malinda for sharing both of your celebrations with me!!! I am so glad that I got to capture your day and I am so glad that there will be more moments we'll share!!!

Eat Cake!

I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted a blog! things have been very busy and exciting!!

As a wedding and event photographer, let me just say that I have sampled my share of cakes! This summer at Malinda and Bryons' wedding ceremony at Blu Inn on Plum Island, the cake that they had was ridiculous!!! It was a carrot coconut cake with a vanilla almond frosting... it was truly the best cake I have EVER had. I discovered that it was created by Hilary Larson from Eat Cake, based out of Newburyport, MA.



So when my friend Janine needed a cake for her daughter Lily's Christening, I raved and raved about Hilary! I was so excited when I got to the Christening and saw Hilary and her confection-perfection on every table!!!





Hilary- you are a baking genius!!!! I can't wait until the next family birthday/wedding/christening/mitzvah/party/graduation/shower/holiday because your cakes are the BEST I have ever had!!!!!! Eat Cake
