Katie + Keith — Mystic Seaport Winter Wedding – xo, CoCo

Winter Wedding at Mystic Aquarium

We really lucked out for Katie and Keith‘s lovely and intimate winter wedding, it was surprisingly warm and man did we get some fabulous light! These two were total troopers as we led them around the grounds of the gorgeous Mystic Seaport. They had a fabulous time partying with all their RIT friends and loving families, and we were so happy to be there to document it! Enjoy!

Krista was my second shooter for the day and grabbed this as Katie got dressed.

Stephanie + Marc — Maine Backyard Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Artsy backyard Maine wedding

It was so difficult to pick my favorites of Stephanie and Marc’s artsy, beautiful, and unique DIY details. The bride and groom were married in Stephanie’s parents’ backyard in  Maine that could easily be mistaken for a sculpture park, there is art everywhere! Krista and I had an amazing day with these two, not to mention their amazingly gracious friends and family. Take a look for yourself, how could I choose?!

The barn is just a short walk own from the main house, inside Stephanie draped colorful fabric from the ceiling. It created such a cool atmosphere.

Stephanie’s mom made pine and herb sachets for each guest, so simple but so wonderful, and of course, they smell just like Maine.

 Already thinking like a big boy:  You can never be overdressed in a sandbox; best to always be prepared in case a lovely little lass comes over for an unexpected playdate.  :)

Baby AJ is getting bigger!  And he’s SO full of grins!  Krista was able to meet the family in their home around the holidays to capture AJ at four months old.  In case you have forgotten, Delia was pretty stinking cute at a similar age…  :)

Baby AJ – Maternity Shoot

I have another sweet family to share with you, starting with their very colorful maternity shoot taken at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield.  Eileen and Fabio had Year-In-The-Life Portraits taken back in 2009 as they welcomed little Delia into their family.  (Check them out here!)

Baby Cameron – One Year Portrait Session

“Baby” Cameron is not such a baby these days!  Krista met the family in Gloucester for Cameron’s final Year-in-the-Life session.  And what a stud he is at one year old!  They started at the Eastern Point Lighthouse, a lovely New England location near Wingaersheek Beach.

Baby Cameron — Six Month Portrait Session

Six month old portrait session

So Krista caught up with Baby Cameron when he was six months old at the family’s home.  From there they took a walk to the park for some perfect New England Fall foliage shots.  Cameron was not all that interested in smiling, but I think you’ll agree he’s so stinking cute that it doesn’t matter!

I mean the lips. The hair. Can’t take it.

I know I sound like a broken record, but as crazy as it sounds, Baby Cameron only continues to become cuter!  I’m not kidding.  Come back Friday to check out his one year shoot in Gloucester.  Little dude will be in boat shoes and a fedora. THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS – not to be missed!

Baby Cameron – Newborn Portrait Session

Dawson Newborn Portrait Session

I promised an amazing little man, and I’m confident that Baby Cameron won’t disappoint!  Krista visited the family in their home soon after Cameron’s arrival.  There really is something incredible about a baby who is only days old.

Check out all of that hair!  (Just wait until you see how quickly it grows as he gets older!  It’s awesome!)
