So, I think I’ve gone over my to-do list the third time now, haha! Our little peanut is supposed to come by the end of the week, and we are soooooo ready! :o) I wish I could count down the days until I finally get to hold our baby in my arms, but then it doesn’t want to tell me when the big day will be here, haha … so mama is waiiting and waiiiiting :o)

My email auto responder is already turned on, and I’m sorry in advance for any delayed emails from my end …. I’m probably cleaning the house and doing laundry …. haha.

I’ll keep you guys posted about our new arrival, and I’m sure there will be an overload of newborn photos once it makes it big entrance ;o)

Until then …. I hope everybody is doing well :o)

BOSTON BABY PHOTOGRAHER: NICOLE, DAN + EVAN THREE MONTH SESSION

It doesn’t happen often these days, but when it does, it’s very special. What am I talking about? Baby photos of course! Most of my working life is dedicated to taking photos of couples in love, and I have to turn away a lot of family photo requests as weddings keep me so busy, but every so often I can’t resist and it’s such a treat to photograph a sweet family. One of my loveliest couples of all time, Melissa + Taylor, asked if they could gift a family photo session to their good friends Nicole and Dan. Dan was in their wedding, and I remembered loving each and every one of their friends. I was pretty excited to finally get a chance to meet up with them and take their family photos. Baby Evan is right about three months old and he is a beautiful, expressive baby. He’s also amazingly good – I’m not sure he cried once during the ninety minutes I was with them! Here are some of my favorites from our session:

Such cutie-pies!

Evan interacting with one of his favorite toys … I’m not sure what you call these things, but they’re very cool.

Those huge brown eyes made me melt every time he looked my way … *swoon*

We took a few family portraits too, of course:

Another absolute favorite – just look at this little guy’s smile!

Thank you Nicole and Dan for welcoming me into your home – I hope you’ve enjoyed the teaser photos! I can’t wait to share the full set with you in a few weeks.

Ok, I have one more post for you guys :o) But this will be it for 2011 :o)

Mommy and Daddy agreed to squeeze in Kennedy’s shoot a bit early as I was worried about our next session conflicting with my due date, so here’s my little treat for you guys :o)

Seriously …. HOW CUTE (!) is this little girl??? :o)

This one was too cute not to share :o))

Melissa & Mat | Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, NH

I somehow have a feeling I should start this blog post with “Once upon a time ….” :o) What a fun, fun wedding!!!

Melissa contacted me only a few months ago and asked if I’d consider shooting a wedding in NH, and I have to be honest, …. one usually has to convince me to do a November wedding – you just can’t ever predict the weather and I love taking the posed photos outside. BUT I met Melissa & Mat at their friends wedding that I shot last year, and dear I say …. they are BOTH 2 of the nicest couples I’ve ever met … so … how could one EVER resist + who would ever say no to a backdrop like Mount Washington??? – Right.

Well, I am pretty sure it’s safe to say that EVERYBODY had a blast that weekend, what a goooorgeous day they had! Thank you both SO much for having us photograph your very special day – Darcy and I had an absolute blast and I LOVED seeing all the bridesmaids again – how fun!! And thanks also for being up for taking photos outside … in the cold …. and the super bright sunlight (eeek) … we all know how freezing it was that day, haha! :o) You guys are an awesome couple – I’d make the trip any day to have you in front of my lens again!

I hope you guys had a woooooonderful time on St. John (boy did I envy you!!!!) and I hope you enjoy the little sneak peek before you get to see the rest of the photos hopefully later tonight :o)

Melissa & Mat held their ceremony at the St. Rose of Lima, Littleton, NH and had their reception at the gorgeous Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH.
