Quinn is ten months!

I can hardly believe that Quinn is already going to be ten months old!

It has been so fun to watch him learn new things and become a little man!

I had fun spending the morning with him last week... we got to play in the crispy leaves in his front yard and even mouse made an appearance to give Quinn some special kisses!

This is just one of the photos from his ten month session, but i'll be posting some other special photos of him soon!

Welcome to the world Sadie!

She certainly took her time getting here, but Miss Sadie has finally joined us!

More photos to come, but I had to share one of my favorites from today!
Congratulations Shannon and Dave!

and my heart officially belongs to...

Recently I joined the Boston PUG group... which is a collection of the most fantastic and creative photographers in the Boston area!

PUGs (Pictage User Group) are all over the US and Canada and the members are photographers who love what they do... We network within the community and share ideas and experiences with other members, while sharpening our photography skills! Having a great time is always number one on the agenda!!!

At our most recent meeting we shared our ideas about how to work with low light situations... as we know, some churches don't allow flash photography!!!

I didn't hesitate for a moment to be the bride!!!!

So without a proper gown, veil or any of the 'details' a bride should have, I made do with that I had available to me in the church... a doily and an aging easter lily..

Lucky for me, the super fabulous Will Tangorra was there to capture me in this beautiful photo!!!




To my fellow Boston PUGs... I am so excited to be among the Best of Boston when I am with you... Your excitement and passion for photography is a constant reminder of why I love what I do, and why I will always capture the greatest people, places and things in life.

I am out enjoying the weather today... I hope you are too!!!!

Jackie and Brad ~ Starting their Family

It seems as though it was a hundred years ago when I first met Jackie and Brad to photograph their engagement session at Fenway Park. We went on one of the tours that the park offers to all of Red Sox Nation, including backstage passes to the .406 Club, the Green Monster and we were even close enough to snag some dirt from the field..

Brad and Jackie had my heart from the minute they arrived wearing Red Sox Jerseys! When it comes to great photographs, creativity is key! (playing baseball on Landsdown Street made for some great photos!!!)

Since our trip to Fenway Park, Jackie and Brad have tied the knot, welcomed Rookie into their lives, travelled the world, welcomed three new nieces and nephews to their family, spent summers in NH among hundreds of other adventures. The Red Sox have even won two world series!

I love that I have been able to share in so many of their experiences....they are truly wonderful people, and two of the greatest friends I could have ever asked for!

When Jackie emailed me back in December that she and Brad were finally expecting their first child, I was beyond thrilled for them... I could not wait to do some belly photos!

I wanted to make sure that we included Rookie in some very important photos as soon she will be sharing her parents with a baby!


Queen of the house... for now!




It seems as though the day we selected was a little chilly... and a lot windy... but we headed over to Castle Island in South Boston for our first location...







The beautiful Jackie...






You can't go to Castle Island without a sweet treat from Sully's!



Then we headed over to The Dorchester Heights Monument for a couple of quickie pics..






I grabbed one last quick photo right before we had dinner at 224 which is where Jackie and Brad went on their second date... many years ago!




Jackie and Brad, I cannot thank you enough for everything you and your families have done for me. Your friendship means more to me than you could ever imagine... You are going to be the worlds best parents! I Love you!
