Ariana : First Birthday

It's hard to believe it has been a year since Miss Ariana was born! Photographing her every three months for the past year has been so much fun. It was amazing seeing her start to crawl, grow teeth, begin talking, and now almost walking! She has such a fun little personality with just the right amount of attitude! :)

Ariana, Caitlin, and I went to the playground near their house for her shoot. We had such a fun time going down slides (the wrong way) and listening to Disney music on my iPhone- and yes, this little chick can SING!

Happy First Birthday, Ariana!

Weddings with Melissa Alderton

This summer I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot two weddings with one of my best friends Melissa Alderton. Melissa and I graduated from Hallmark Institute of Photography together and we've been pretty inseparable ever since (well, minus the fact that she lives in Wisconsin, but that's why Facebook Chat is for!). So when she asked me to photograph two weddings with her, one in Wisconsin and one in Massachusetts this summer, I immediately said "YES!"

Here are my favorite shots from the two weddings. Melissa, thank you so much for asking me to come a long! I had so much fun working with you and I know we'll be doing many more in the future. :)

(Be sure to check out Melissa's blog to see her photos from the two weddings, as well as the rest of her amazing work! And if you're ever near Appleton, Wisconsin, be sure to contact the best photographer for a session, Melissa Alderton Photography.)

Michelle and Rick : Engaement Session

I'm photographing Michelle and Rick's wedding in three weeks, which I am unbelievably excited about! We got together at Harkness Memorial State Park the other week to do their engagement session. And, as you can tell for yourself, they came out beautiful!


Rick wanted to do what every good man should do, show off his love for the Red Sox! So we had him wear his hat for a couple of the photos. Michelle, that's a good man you've got! :)
