Lori & Mark’s Wedding – Boston MA

One of the things I love about my job is that no two couples are the same. While some brides may end up with the same shoes, or the same flowers, or the same location… each couple totally unique. Lori & Mark are no exception! From the outside, these two look about as different as you can get. Mark is 6 foot something, while Lori is just under 5 feet tall. She’s very bubbly and expressive, while he is quiet and stoic. But when you meet them, you can see just how well they fit together! It was awesome to get to celebrate with them as they got married at the Boston Harbor Hotel and then celebrated with a reception on The Odyssey earlier this Fall!

Love this shot of Lori getting all dolled up!

The bar wasn’t open yet, but we still used it for a few photos :)

Lori’s reaction to Mark’s wedding gift was priceless! Mark definitely did well picking out jewelry for his bride!

Love this shot of Lori getting ready!

she has such beautiful eyes!

We shot through the windows quite a bit to get the best view!

After the ceremony we headed to the archway for some portraits

I love this one of Lori & her Mom! So sweet!

Then it was time to climb aboard the Odyssey for a few more portraits before the party got started.

Lori & Mark – thank you so much for trusting me, Erin & CoCo to capture your wedding! It has been so fun getting to know you guys and your wedding was a blast! I’m so glad we could be a part of it! If only woofs had been there… ;)

Facebook

Earlier this year, Constant Contact (the company I use to send out newsletters) interviewed me about how I use social media. Apparently, they found my “strategy” really exciting and interesting – which came as quite a surprise to me. I use a hodge podge of social media resources including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, this blog, my website, emails via Constant Contact, LinkedIn, Tumblr, and just about anything I find. I probably use Facebook more than anything else though. I love Facebook – I love being able to connect with old friends, friends who live far away, friends I see all the time, friends I might never hear from again if it weren’t for the site, old clients, new clients, other photographers, my Mom, and all sorts of friends, family & business associates in between. I love that I can know what’s going on in their lives and feel closer to them, like I know them a little better (and vice versa). And I LOVE that I can share photos with my clients, with their friends, with my friends & their friends, and so on. And of course, I love that my friends & their friends can see my work and maybe they’ll think of me when they need a photographer :) I’ve also booked work because people have seen my photos of their friends, or because my friends recommended me to someone b/c of what they’d seen on fb. It’s pretty cool! I mean, it takes some time, but I’d probably be spending that time on fb anyway… at least this way I’ve got work as an excuse ;)

Anyway, Constant Contact recently did a study on small businesses’ use of Facebook and found that most small business owners believe Facebook is even more important than face to face marketing. Well, Reuters found out about the results, and wanted to do an article – so they called to see if I’d mind being interviewed! Naturally, I agreed! I mean, how cool is that?! You want to interview me about why I love Facebook? Um, ok! They even asked me to take a photo of myself at my desk to use with the article, haha! Check it out…

I think the article turned out great! It’s still a little crazy to me, but it’s definitely cool! You can read the full article here :) And of course, you can always find me on Facebook here… ;)

Lindsey’s Maternity Portraits

My dear friend Lindsey just had a baby the other day – her first child, a son named Jude! He’s so precious and I’ll definitely be sharing many photos of him in the coming weeks, and months, and years, I’m sure :) But before we get there, we have to go back a few weeks to when there were still leaves on the tress and pumpkins laying around – and little Jude was still a mysterious baby growing inside Lindsey’s belly! I spent a morning with David & Lindsey capturing the last portraits of the two of them before their family officially became three!

This is one beautiful pregnant lady :)

I love how David always knows how to make Lindsey laugh!

I **LOVE** this one!!!! That’s one happy Daddy!

Another favorite!

There’s nothing quite as amazing to me as a pregnant belly! There was a tiny little human growing in there – that’s pretty incredible!

David & Lindsey – I love you guys!!! Thanks for letting me share in this wonderful part of your life! I’m very very excited to be baby Jude’s one and only Kiki! :)
