Ariel + Joshua — New Hampshire Summer Camp Engagement Portraits

Lake Ossipee engagement session

Oh yeah, this was SUCH a great engagement session!!!  I met up with Ari & Josh in New Hampshire at Camp Cody on Lake Ossipee, where they would hold their wedding a few months later.  It was such a beautiful and FUN place to shoot!   They brought their dog with them and we tromped all over the campground taking pictures, splashing in the water, jumping over logs, dancing in the woods, and leaping out of canoes. This may be my favorite engagement session ever :)

To start off, they’re gorgeous, and Ari’s dress is fabulous!

Then it was time for our favorite part of the day!  The part where they get in a canoe and recreate their engagement on Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal… and then jump out of the canoe!

The poor dog was just panicking, wanting to be with them but having a hard time swimming for so long!  He kept getting out, running back down the pier and jumping into the water again!  He just loves them so much, he had to be with them!!

I’m surprised I didn’t see more of this dance move at their reception… ;)

Meagan + Evan — Castle Island Sunrise Engagement – xo, CoCo

Sunrise on Castle Island (Boston) Engagement Session

I know I know, WHAT was I thinking agreeing to a sunrise engagement session? But I mean come on, how could you refuse such a cute couple, and a girl who was so passionate about LIGHT?! (You see, Meagan goes running on Castle Island every morning before work and had fallen in love with the light and the view of her city she gets every morning). This girl is my dream come true! The best part is, in the days leading up to our shoot Meagan’s fiance Evan was trying to look at the weather and see which morning would have the best color, so he tweeted a meteorologist to get his opinion! How sweet is he?! Despite the early hour, this shoot went off without a hitch, the light was gorgeous, Castle Island and the city were still sleeping and we had the run of the place!

I got together with Caitlin and Chris at their apartment in the South End. These two are complete goofballs and we had so much fun running around their fabulous neighborhood, and getting to know each other. We started off on their amazing roof deck with a sweet view!

 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 – Four Month Portrait Session

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…  :)

Melanie + Ian — Backyard Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Springtime Engagement Session at home

There is something about these two that is just so natural and beautiful. Ian is a farmer by trade and a surfer as well (with a wicked farmer’s tan to boot)! ;) Melanie is a nurse and came to us from a very good friend of Krista’s. It was so fun to hang out with them at their house in “the country” (Woburn, haha) and at Ian’s parent’s house just down the road. A simple, sweet backyard engagement, that’s all you need!

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!)

Theresa + Kristin — Newburyport Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

Newburyport Engagement Session

I met these two awesome ladies at their apartment in Newburyport, such a beautiful city with so much variety for shooting pictures, I’m so jealous they actually live there!  It was so much fun meeting their (MANY!) pets, checking out the nooks and crannies of Newburyport and seeing where they were engaged. Let’s start out on their front porch, the light was gorgeous!
