Tamara & Jason eSession

Ok, first of all, let me warn you that this is gonna be a LONG post! I had SUCH a great engagement session with Tamara & Jason and I just couldn’t narrow down my favorites anymore!!! Some shoots are just like that :)

I drove out to Western Mass for Tamara & Jason’s eSession because they really wanted their dogs to be part of their photos, since they won’t be able to make the trip to Buzzard’s Bay in September for the wedding. Like lots of couples without kids, these dogs are their babies. So, we took the babies over to their favorite park for some photos.

Here’s a family portrait :)


And since their dogs are just so cute and I couldn’t pick just one or two – I thought I’d give you a little montage of all my favs. That streak of black in the top right corner is a dog ;) He was so excited to hit the woods that he ran straight into a creek and ruined his fresh bath. Oh well, he was still cute! But, I must admit that it’s the little brown one that was my favorite! Cajun was abandoned after Hurricane Katrina and Tamara just had to rescue him. He’s such a little sweetie!


Now, on to the couple shots! This is my FAVORITE from the day, I think! And it was one of the first ones we shot. I couldn’t even put my logo on it – it would just ruin the gorgeousness :)


And a few more in the woods… We stirred up some serious mosquitoes, but it was totally worth it!



Eventually, we decided that the bugs were a bit too much for us, so we spent most of our time in the field next to the woods. The sunlight was perfectly yummy – I couldn’t get enough of it!



Are they cute, or what?





I love how dramatic this one looks!


Did I mention the sunlight???




What I loved best about this shoot was how great Tamara & Jason were in front of the camera! They were a little self-conscious before we started, telling me that they didn’t know what to do and needed direction, etc. I just told them to be themselves and to enjoy one another’s company and never mind me. Well, they were naturals! They seemed so at ease and even though we had a great time chatting the whole evening – they were still able to seem as if they were completely alone. It was really great and made my job so easy!




We did get a few where they were aware of the camera though :)


After a fun time at the park, we gathered up the pups and headed back to their house. They have a great backyard with this awesome hammock. I couldn’t resist…




Tamara & Jason – thank you guys for such a wonderful shoot, and such a fun time, not to mention a delicious dinner! It was great getting to know you both a bit better, and I absolutely can’t wait for the wedding!!!

Liana & James Engagement Session

A couple weekends ago, I photographed an engagement session for Liana & James. We were looking at the forecast all week long, and it kept saying RAIN. We were getting a little nervous, but the rain held off and we ended up having a great, though chilly, shoot!

Liana & James live in South Boston and we decided to just do the shoot within walking distance of their house. I love to shoot e-sessions in the places that they go all the time, doing the things they like to do – so I can capture what really makes them unique as a couple. These two are great together, and it was so fun getting to know them!

First stop, the beach



Then we happened upon a little plot of tulips


and then some blossoming trees




and then a great park


then we walked back towards their house


On the way back, we found a house with a Mickey Mouse Doorbell! I mean, have you ever seen THAT before? It was kinda funny…


Then we found ourselves locked out of the park across the street from their house…


So we shot in front of their place instead!


This one is my tribute to Anne Ruthman, who always seems to have her couples lay down in the grass :)


Liana & James – thanks for an awesome afternoon! It was so great hanging out with you guys. I can’t wait for the wedding – we are going to have a BLAST! :)
