Now that the crazy Fall photography season has come to a close, gifts have been given and holiday cards received, I am excited to share with you some of the great sessions that took place this past Fall. So, let’s kick this off and what better formula for excellent Fall family photos than a great organic farm in Newton, MA that not only featured a cornfield and pumpkin patch, but also a weeping willow by a pond, rolling fields, and beautiful Fall foliage!

My clients seriously make my job easy and fun! What a great time I had with these two adorable and gorgeous girls! They were go go go and had such fun at the farm! We headed off first to the cornfield to play some games.

We pulled some silly faces and chased each other…

…we found a tractor with HUGE wheels we could sit in…

…we picked some flowers and we had piggybacks…

…and of course, they were just generally and absolutely ADORABLE!

You can’t have Fall family photos in New England without featuring a red barn! Don’t you just adore these girls? Oh we giggled, and we hugged…and we may have kept the momentum going with some chocolate M&Ms. Luckily mom came armed and prepared with wipes to hide the evidence!

This entire family just exudes love and fun! That, and unmistakable style! If mom looks familiar to you, then you are correct super sleuths! This is business owner, Karen who was featured on the very first blog post of our relaunch. Karen owns and runs the wonderful Hanu Skincare which uses only organic ingredients. I absolutely love these products and my latest obsession is the French Green Clay Mask – you may have been the recipient of this as a gift this Christmas because I love it so much! I adore repeat clients and greatly treasure the trust given to me in capturing these special family memories. Thank you, Karen and Patrick for this trust, and thank you, girls, for what is to date my most energetic and fun family session.

Engagement Photo Session – Boxford, MA

Relaunching my photography business doesn’t mean that my camera has been squirreled away all this time; I was just in stealth mode. Now that I am back, it gives me a great opportunity and privilege to share some of my work that was under the radar…like this urban engagement photo session I did for this gorgeous Boxford, MA couple. Meredith and Dan were so much fun to work with and up for anything. As you can see, we captured a large variety of settings for them, all keeping within their Urban theme. What fun to incorporate a British telephone box – a hail back to Meredith’s British heritage.

I love ensuring that we get the detail shots – of course, the ring in this case, but it was fun to get creative in showcasing it. And my! What a beautiful ring it is!

With such natural smiles and happy subjects, my work was so much fun! They were both so relaxed in front of the camera, and as I am sure you can tell, we had a lot of fun during this session.

Shooting in downtown Manchester, NH the options were almost endless – we had fun in the park, strolled down the cute side streets, and even incorporated the historic mill district. I actually studied the American mills during one of my university courses in the UK, so I love visiting them with the background knowledge of all their history.

Thank you, Meredith and Dan, for the great fun we had together creating these shots and capturing this special time for you.
