Sheraton Wakefield

When I was planning my next set of mini sessions I thought for sure that by 11/20 we would need to be inside so I chose the Sheraton lobby for my location.  This place really is perfect since there is a tree decorated for christmasy photos but we can also easily go outside for natural light photos.

Here is session #1!  5 year old twins...couldn't be easier!

Tupper Manor Family

Tupper Manor Family Session

At a fundraising auction, this family was the lucky winner of a session with me!

Yippee!

Tupper Manor mini session

This is the child that wanted nothing to do with me last year.

This year all she wanted to do was lay in the grass.  HAHA!

Love this one!

Jamie and Frank's Wedding | Chocksett Inn, Sterling, MA

For some reason this post has given me such a hard time.  I can't seem to get all the images I want to share to align properly.  I know a lot of people have already viewed it in a not so pretty state and I feel so bad about that.  Rather than spend hours trying to fix it I'm just embedding a slideshow of all of my favorite images from the wedding which is more than I would have shared in a normal blog post so I guess you win in the end :-)

So let's try my commentary one more time...

I remember when I got the call confirming that Jamie and Frank wanted me to be their photographer.  I was on a playground with my kids during the fall of 2010.  As usual the wedding date seemed so far away!  At least I got to do their engagement session to tide me over.

November 5th was a beautiful day considering the are had been hit with a devastating snow storm a week prior.  The damage from this storm was worse than anything I had ever seen.  The amount of large trees and branches that were down was mind boggling.  Luckily the Chocksett Inn was up and running and was able to host a lovely and elegant wedding.




What I loved the most was how this family made me feel like a part of the family.  There is nothing nicer than that.  Now I can't wait for babies!!!

Appleton Farm | Ipswich, MA

This session is still one of my favorites.  You know, where all of my other sessions are a 10 this is a 10.5.

The clothing, the almost setting sun...

the legitimate fox hunt that went by us with about 20 hound dogs and easily 100 horses...you know, the usual.  Just a normal day at Appleton Farm

Look at these children!!!

Cute as buttons!

I'm not sure what mom ended up using for a holiday card but this would have been one of my top picks

But you can't go wrong with this one either!

I can't wait to see this family again!!

Frost Farm | Derry New Hampshire

This little man made me work really hard.  Kids are usually shy in the beginning but I almost always win them over in the end.  This was not the case this day.  He just didn't like me.  So I kept my distance and put my 70-200 to good use.

Mom is expecting baby number 2 so we used this time to get some maternity shots as well.
