Sweet in Pink

  • by

When I saw these guys from across the Public Garden, I knew it was Em and Tim.  Pink, that is their hallmark color.  Emily had chosen pink for her wedding and I just love the images that came from that.  Check out their album here.

How could I ever imagine any other color for their precious little girl?  We headed straight for the angel to photograph this little angel.

He keeps going & going & going…

Kids have all the energy.  Some of this spit-fire redhead’s excitement rubbed off on me.  I came back to the hotel very happy, if not a little exhausted.  I only hope some of his energy rubs off on his parents.

It is so exciting to see my past wedding clients… with their kids.  This is the first of 3 families I was able to reconnect with while in Boston.

Hospital Stay

  • by

Bed rest is one thing, but to have to stay in the hospital until your baby is born? That is rough. The kids and I have been trying to keep this mom company. She was diagnosed with preeclampsia almost two weeks ago, just before the last week of school. She is India’s Kindergarten teacher. Not an ideal situation, but thankfully both mom and baby are healthy.
We had all the kids sign this book that we brought with us on one of our hospital visits. Another mom came up with the idea and helped collect quotes from each of the kids. What a wonderful way to remember all the kindergarten friends. With some extra money from the other parents we were able to raise enough money to purchase an album for each kid in the class.

Another ploy to cheer up mom-to-be was a little photo shoot outside of the hospital… if only in the hospital garden.

and in a wheelchair…


Thankfully she could get out of the chair, stand, sit cross-legged. Just no jumping or running.

Dad is already reading and cuddling with baby.

The Families

  • by

Saturday was a great day. We enjoyed a morning of relaxation and sun at our street’s garage sale. I got a bit too much sun and Zach called me Amazon brown last night. Not quite sure what that means.
Around 4pm, I made my way to the school’s grounds and photographed 4 families in quick succession. I was a bit disappointed at the turn-out, but I was also glad to be done by 5:30 and hit the after-garage-sale bbq at our neighbor’s house. All in all, a fun day. I got to sit in the warm sun, photograph some families and even go to a party. What more could I ask for?
Here are a few images from each of the families I photographed. We raised $120 for the garden at Charles Hay. Thanks for your support!

I love the color coordination here. What a fun family.

Ahh, William has reached the days when getting a picture taken is no longer fun. We still got him to smile. Maybe he had a little fun…


I love this building’s painted cinder block. What a cool color and the texture is awesome. Who knew this was at the school. Lucky I saw it the day before at pick-up.

I love that I got to photograph this mom with her boys. A late mother’s day present. I am so glad they brought along their light swords, spiderman shirt, and cape.

Movement Dance CO.- take two

More from the Movement Dance Co. I love how the entire show moved through so many emotions. From the drudgery of the “Daily Grind” piece to the primal joy of another back down to the depths of loosing a loved one.
