Abigail’s Dedication

This weekend, I photographed the dedication of my friends, Jonathan & Diana’s baby Abigail. In our church, we don’t have christenings for babies, but we have a ceremony where they are dedicated to God. It’s not a big fancy thing, but it is definitely special. It was even more special because it was Diana’s first Mother’s Day!

Abigail was a bit freaked out by all of the lights and the strangers looking at her, at first…


But soon she was able to relax and just rest in her mother’s arms


The gown Abigail is wearing was once Diana’s Grandmother’s wedding dress. It was later turned into a christening gown for Diana’s mother, and then Diana wore it for her christening. Abigail is the fourth generation to wear it!


That’s my brother-in-law (our pastor) praying for Abigail and her parents


Congratulations little Abigail! What a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there! Especially to my two favorite Moms – my Mother, Shelia, and my Sister, Kyla! I think you’re both the greatest and I hope I can be a mom like you someday :)


Normally for Mother’s Day I’d spend the day helping my Mom buy flowers for her garden, and then watching her fill her flowerbeds with new flowers. But, this year, I can’t be there with her. So, here’s a picture of some geraniums, her favorite flower instead :)

I hope you have a wonderful day Mom!!!!!


And to all of my other favorite Moms – my two wonderful Grandmothers, GaGa & GiGi – my awesome Aunts & Cousins – Mommy Aruta – and all my dear friends who have become great moms – Happy Mothers’ Day!!!

And just for fun, here’s a video that we produced at Genesis for our Moms:

Hope For The Children of Haiti

One of my portrait clients is on the board for an organization called Hope For the Children of Haiti. Well, they’re not just on the board – but they’ve adopted 3 teenage boys through the ministry! To say that Hope For the Children of Haiti is a big part of their lives would be quite an understatement.

A few weeks ago we started talking about the possibility of me going down to Port-Au-Prince to document the ministry’s orphanage & school – and of course, the kids. Well, yesterday we bought our tickets and it’s official! I am so excited about the opportunity to work with HFC, and for the chance to visit Haiti for the first time! I have many friends who have visited Haiti, and this orphanage in particular, so I’m really looking forward to seeing it with my own eyes, and bringing that back to all of you. I’ll be heading down there at the end of the month, so stay tuned for photos and stories from Port-Au-Prince this summer!!

Living the hard life

Well, don’t feel too bad for me… I’m living the hard life down in Ft. Myers, Florida this week. I’m on vacation with my parents & sister (and her adorable family). It’s hard spending this much time on the beach and by the pool, but I’m doing my best :)

I’ve got lots to share when I got back to Boston! Pictures from my week in Chicago, pictures from vacation, and a bunch of engagement sessions coming up in the next few weeks. So, stay tuned! And try not to be jealous ;)

Diana is going to be such an awesome Mom!


Abigail was one tired little girl!

Trash the dress – Vegas style

I’m back from Vegas!! It was a great trip if you don’t count getting horribly sick, completely losing my voice, and an incorrectly scheduled flight home… Seriously though, it was really great – I got to meet a boat load of people, listen to some amazing photographers, check out the most ginormous trade show ever, and take in the sights of Las Vegas. I’ll post more on all of that later, but first I wanted to share the photos from the Trash The Dress session at the Neon Boneyard. It was a very cool location and the couples were great to work with, not to mention all of the photographers I worked with too! Check out the pics…


I totally could have shot there all day, even without a bride & groom. The signs are really cool and such an interesting piece of Vegas history.


This couple got married the day before and their photographer helped plan this little excursion. They were totally sweet and such troopers – the bride’s feet were practically bleeding from her shoes and she still tromped around in them all afternoon!


After shooting with them for a while, I noticed the other couple we were working with, and I got majorly distracted. These two were awesome! They were very comfortable in front of the camera, totally hot, and between the blue shoes and all the tattoos – they were incredible to photograph!



the paparazzi…





I think this one is my favorite shot of the day.



It was a great shoot! I definitely have to do more of these Trash The Dress sessions – they are so fun. TTD sessions are not so much about “trashing” the dress as not worrying about the dress. It’s so nice to have the couple completely relaxed and have plenty of time to shoot without worrying about rushing off to the reception. For all of my brides who are reading – if you’re interested in a Trash The Dress session after your wedding, let me know! The first 2 brides to respond will get the session for FREE! So, leave a comment below or send me an email…
