I had so much fun meeting with all my clients today to capture their holiday family portraits at the beautiful Kiwanis Beach in Upton, MA! Sneak peaks of my favorites are below:
This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing this cutie, Lilly, in her costume for her upcoming Nutcracker recital with McKeon Dance Company. Isn’t she just the cutest mouse?!
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing 10 day old baby “F”, and I must say, he is the easiest newborn I’ve ever worked with! He slept almost the entire time for us, and when he was awake, he was so content and pleased to just check out the world around him. When big brother got home from school, we were able to sneak in a couple shots of them as well. Scroll down to see my favorites of these handsome little men 🙂
Addison, you came into our life at just the right time to complete our family. It’s been such an amazing journey watching you grow, and watching Kaydence become a big sister 🙂 You have brought so much love and laughter to our household, I can’t believe how quickly this first year has passed!!
And now, her one year portraits!
Last weekend I had the pleasure of exploring River Bend Farm and capturing family portraits for the lovely Cordaro Family, including their newest little one, miss Anna. It was so sweet seeing Aria being a big sister; it seems like just yesterday I was taking her newborn family photos!
As a busy mom, wife, teacher, photographer, dog mom, girl scout troop leader (anything else?!) I always find myself so behind on taking pictures of my own children. My goal this year is to be better at staying on top of it this year (as I write this, I’m reminded that I STILL have yet to take my oldest daughter’s yearly portrait now that she just turned 8 so I’m already behind)!
The weekend Addison turned 6 months, I found myself with a quick half hour of time to snap some pictures of her in all her cuteness 🙂 Enjoy!
For Addison’s 3 month portraits, I wanted to honor my late grandmother, our “Grandy”. In July of 2016, my grandmother went to the doctor for a raspy, sore throat she was not able to shake. Within days of that appointment, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. By the time they found it, it had spread to her lymph nodes and bones. Ready to put up a fight, Grandy started her first round of chemotherapy treatment. On the morning of my first day of the new school year, I received a phone call from my mom at 3:58am. I learned our dear Grandy had suddenly passed away. My family was left devastated, to say the least. Grandy had just retired a short time before, and was excitedly looking forward to caring for Addison one day a week after I went back to work. Before learning about her illness, Grandy had started knitting several gifts for Addison, one of them being what has to be the softest blankets I have ever held (the pink and purple blanket featured in these photos). While we are devastated that she never had the chance to meet her third great-granddaughter, we are so happy to have these special gifts she made just for her that we can treasure forever.
As most of you know, my family and I have been busy preparing to add a little girl to our family. We are happy to announce that after 40 weeks + 6 long days of waiting, Miss Addison has made her appearance! We could not be happier (especially big sister Kaydence, who has waiting a very long time for this!) So far Addison has been such a sweet, very easy going baby and Kaydence has been a HUGE help to her mommy!
Introducing the newest member to our clan, Addison!
This year, my mini sessions took place at Heritage Park in Upton, MA. Although it was a battle against the cold and wind for this one, these girls were not even phased and we ended up with some beautiful images of some equally beautiful girls.
Shortly after my photo shoot with the DeMauro family, I had the pleasure of shooting the family of Dan’s sister, Emily. I met up with her and her husband Will and their three boys at Riverbend Farm. What a fun shoot! Her boys are just so silly and adorable, and their oldest was such a good big brother.
Shortly after their photo shoot, I learned that Emily and Will were expecting yet another little boy to add to their family! We just might have to update this photo next year 😉
