Cute Little Brag Books!

Mmmm.... I just love these new brag books that just came in from KISS which we are now offering for portrait, bridal and engagement sessions. They come in a variety of colors and are 4x4 which is the perfect size to carry in your purse and show to all of your friends and family. Best of all they are delivered in sets of two each nestled in a beautiful carrying case so they remain protected from the elements or whatever might live at the bottom of your bag :)

Meet Amanda & Nelson - Boston Engagement Photography

I'd like to introduce you to Amanda & Nelson. They met while on the gymnastics team at Springfield College. They became close friends at the beginning of the semester and started dating Christmas Break of freshman year.

Now, they are both busy professionals and the engagement shoot was a welcome time alone (well almost alone) together. They are also the proud parents of two adorable labs named Cody and Mia. Their wedding will be this August at The Danversport Yacht Club.

Engagement Photography- Meet Alyssa & Kevin

Alyssa & Kevin are getting married next month in Grafton but wanted to shoot their engagement photos on the Cape which is where Alyssa is from. This wedding is extra special because Alyssa will also become a mom to Kevin's two little girls who joined us as we went from their West Dennis house, to the Herring Runs and the finally to the very, very, very windy beach. We had a great time and I can't wait to see them again next month!

Portrait Photography: Meet Anna & Sadie

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Anna and her baby sister Sadie. When I arrived, Anna was having a bit of a bad day and was shall we say, less than enthusiastic about having her photo taken. So, what do you do when you are hired to shoot a portrait of someone who doesn't want to be photographed? This was a first for me, so I did what I know best. Real life. I got out my sniper lens, hid behind some bushes and followed her around while she played outside. I shot from the hip with my 17-55mm (which only worked a few times before she was on to me) and tried to get her playing with mom, running away from dad and acting like the 3 year old that she is.

Sometimes portrait sessions come with a set of pre-conceived ideas from both the parents, and the photographer, on what the final outcome will look like. I was expecting to shoot more "portraits" and less "life" on this shoot, but what I realized is that just like wedding photography, it's the real moments where dad is chasing big sis around the house while mom tries to feed the baby that can be the most memorable. These are the photos I love, and although I love a beautiful portrait with crisp eyes, milky skin and the perfect bokeh, I love catching the moments that happen in between those portraits even more.
