Samantha & Stuart’s Wedding…

On June 27th, I had the pleasure to photograph Samantha & Stuart’s wedding.  Now I have to admit, ever since they booked me, I’ve been waiting for this wedding.   Why?  Because I knew it was going to be a backyard reception at Stuart’s house and the ceremony was going to be in a small, quaint church nearby.  And most of all, it was near one of my favorite places in Rhode Island…Falls River Rd.  Much different than the church & receptions that I was used to.  It was great to do something different.  Plus, Samantha & Stuart have known each other since they were little…ya can’t get better than that!

Samantha made such a beautiful bride and I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple than the two of them!  Congratulations to the newlyweds!  Here are a bunch of my faves from their day:

And at Stuart’s house, there was a great lil’ pond that kept the flowergirls and other lil’ girls attending VERY busy because there were a bunch of frogs in it.  Seeing how I’m a mother of two boys, I’m constantly going frog hunting with them.  So I had to post a few…

And of course I had to ask her to pretend to kiss it…

First Operation: Love ReUnited Session…

I’ve been running a little behind with my “sneak peeks”. Sorry Christina! At the end of July, I photographed my first OpLove session. This is Christina and lil’ Claire. How adorable is she?! Christina’s husband, Jacob, is serving our country in Afghanistan. I pray he returns home quickly and safely to his friends and family.

If you are a photographer and haven’t joined the Operation: Love ReUnited organization, I highly recommend it. After all, it’s the least we can do for those putting their lives on the line for our freedom!

Here are a few of my faves from the session:

A Couple of Portraits of Our Dog…

So we officially moved into our new home last Tuesday and couldn’t be more thrilled about it!  A couple of days ago, I snuck into our bedroom and found our siberian husky, Kyra, on our bed…just looking out the window, checking out our neighborhood.  I just couldn’t resist taking some photos of her.  The natural lighting was perfect and I wanted some “dramatic” photos of her.  Here they are:

Sneak Peek for Liz…

Here’s a sneak peek for Liz and her family.  We did a portrait session at Roger Williams Park yesterday.  We finally had some decent weather, thank goodness!  Even though lil’ Gabriella wanted nothing to do with me, the photos, etc…I think we got some cute ones!  There’s nothing like gummies for bribery! HAHA

She was great to photograph and it was great to finally meet her, Liz’s husband Steve and see you again, Liz!

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

The Tooth Fairy Came! =D

On June 11, 2009…my oldest son, Justin lost his very first tooth.  Just 7 days shy of his 5th birthday!  So that day we made a special keepsake bag for the tooth fairy.   He was very excited to find out the next morning the tooth fairy came and left him some money under his pillow in the special bag he made! 

As a child, I always wondered what color the tooth fairy’s dress was (I always argued with my mom that it was pink!)…so I asked Justin if he peeked at her, but he was sleeping.  Hmmmmm, maybe next time!

 

First Model Session…

So a couple of days ago, I was contacted by a model asking if I would be interested in trading services.  My time for their time, basically.  They needed images for their portfolio for the makeup artist and hair stylist (who was also one of the models). 

They mostly were looking to add to their wedding makeup and hair styles (some elegant, some edgy), so obviously most of the images were to show those off.  I’d love to work with the models again, the two of them were stunning and great to work with!  Their friends were fantastic as well!  Here are a bunch of my faves:

And a fun play with the colors and to show off her boots

Sherry’s Maternity…

I had the honor to photograph Sherry as a bridesmaid in one of my 2008 weddings and last weekend, I photographed her beautiful family for her maternity session.  I got such a kick out of her son, Aiden.  He was such a ham!  Here are a few of my faves from the maternity session:

Tim & Lynn’s Engagement…

Here are Tim & Lynn. They are getting married next year and I cannot wait for their wedding. I used to work with Tim at Fidelity Investments a few years ago and let me tell ya, he is a trip! LOL We’ve shared a lot of good laughs and it’s an honor to meet and be able to photograph his soon-to-be wife, Lynn with him. I already can tell we’re gonna have a blast at their wedding!

Here are a few of my faves from the session…a quick sneak peek for Lynn & Tim. Hope ya like them!

Tiffany & Dulf’s Wedding…

June 14th was a very special and memorable day for Tiffany & Dulf.  Not only did they get married but they also honored Tiffany’s father.  He passed away 12 years ago and they honored him in one of the most beautiful ways.  June 14th is Tiffany’s father’s birthday.  The reception was beautiful…a single photo of her father hung from each centerpiece and for the ceremony, a single rose was placed on a seat next to her mother.  Tiffany, as your mother walked you down the aisle, I truly believe that your father was there walking right beside you.  Everything that you planned for your day (from the ceremony involving Dulf’s sons….down to your pink high heels!), it truly was a honor to photograph your wedding day.

Here are a few of my faves from your day:
