I hardly ever get to see my oldest & dearest friend Marietta, who lives in Ohio, but this year I’ve gotten to see her a ton!!  I went home a couple of times and got to see her and her new baby.  Then a few weeks ago she & her family came to New England for a family reunion!  They don’t get the whole clan together very often, so they asked me to come up and take some photographs.  A fun portrait shoot, plus I get to see my Marietta and baby Austin?!  Fabulous :)

I love these people :]

Mar with her brother & sister – I’ve known them all since I was about 6 years old!

Austin with his Lola!

Some of little families…

All the cousins!

The grandparents with all the grandchildren!  Can anyone spot the extra adult in the photo???

Everybody!!

In between the formal shots I was able to capture all the cuteness a bit more candidly

And after all the portraits were over, we ate the most delicious ribs EVER, and then had a little 1st birthday celebration!

Marietta – I love you!  I am so thankful that you’ve been part of my life for over 25 years!  (wow, we’re getting old…)  And thanks for bringing me up and letting me crash the reunion.  Your family is, of course, awesome!  Hopefully we can keep finding more and more excuses to see each other this year :)  Hug & kiss that baby for me!!!
