Gabriella ~ Sneak peak

You may remember Tiffany & Santi from their maternity session. Well, I had a photo shoot today with the newest addition to their family. Little Gabriella's full post will be up soon but I just had to share this one of her "prepping"...

Amber & Jeff ~ Engaged!

A few weeks ago, I was sitting at Post 390 with Amber and a couple of my other closest friends. The server came out to take our drink orders but instead of asking what we wanted, he asked "who's name starts with M?"

"Umm, mine does?" I said, unsure. He handed me a champagne glass decorated with pink and black polka dots and inscribed with a big "M." My first thought was WHOA this place is fancy - they give everyone their own glass? By this time, my friends "E" and "S" had received similar glasses. We all looked down and noticed what was written on the base...

"will you be my bridesmaid?"

So cute! Of course we all said YES and toasted to Amber & Jeff's upcoming marriage. I can't wait to celebrate with you!

Amber had asked me to do an engagement mini-session so that she and Jeff could get a photo to put in their hometown newspapers. Easy enough, right? HAH. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon... Amber, Jeff and I are running around in the frozen marsh hoping we don't fall through the ice, hiking through the woods and getting stuck in pricker bushes. We took a few breaks to warm up in the car but WOW it was chilly. These are the results of our adventure:





A favorite...








Marc saw this picture and asked me (jokingly) if we went to New Hampshire for the shoot. Hard to believe this was taken in Quincy!

Esplanade shoot

I met up with photographer friend Jen Ing on a warm afternoon in November so we could shoot some scenery around Boston. As we both prefer to shoot people over landscapes, Jen and I ended up taking practice portraits of each other. We walked around the Esplanade for a couple hours before sunset and the light was just gorgeous:









I love to schedule shoots for the late afternoon (or near sunrise, alternatively) and this is why... AMAZING light!
