Lil Bro Graduated!

So, I think its pretty safe to say my lil bro was slightly skewed towards the social aspects of high school, rather than the studies side of it :) HOWEVER, I am super proud that he just graduated from high school and is enjoying life to the fullest! I see a little of myself in his personality, so I can completely understand the importance if making plans vs. making plans to do homework ;) Here is the invitation I designed for his graduation party with images from both of his 5 second photo-ops amidst the madness of prom and graduation!

Anika, Owner of Janelle Beauty

Anika, a friend of my husband's from college and currently a successful businesswoman who owns a line of natural hair care beauty products based out of Nashua, New Hampshire, was interested in getting some new, fresh images for marketing purposes and did we have a fun time doing so! I am planning on talking her into some urban backdrops for her next session!  Check her out: http://pure.janellebeauty.com/site.cfm?s=jb

Pure Love


 "Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs...since the payment is pure love."
 I love this quote!  It made me think of Miss Theresa, my son's teacher at the daycare he attends.  Naturally, when I found out she was pregnant and wanted to have maternity photos taken, I was excited to be a part of helping capture those amazing moments.  A time of anticipation, planning, dreaming and giving of oneself, for the sake of that new little person that is about to arrive in this world.  Here are a few of my favs from her session on a beautiful early spring day...

And a little reminiscing of just a year ago...

Best Gifts Come in the Tiniest Packages

This little one decided to show up into this world early and surprise his Mom and Dad!  They were blessed to be able to take him home from the hospital after a short stay and Little Christian is healthy and growing quick!  At just under 6 weeks old, he was just about the average size of a newborn.  Thank God for such a special blessing for this family.




A Baby Brother to Love

Baby Jack was welcomed into this world with open arms by his proud Mommy, Daddy, and big sister, Claire.  And I was lucky enough to be asked to capture some of the first moments in the early days of his sweet new life.  Here are some of my favs...

ESTEEM. Boudoir. Join Me!

Boudoir. You might say "I have heard of it, but what is it?"


Boudoir photography is about celebrating your beauty, here and now, not "when I lose a few more pounds" or "when I get around to it". Because truthfully, when do we, as ladies, ever get around to pampering ourselves or doing something just for US?
A boudoir session is for any age, height, weight, or look. It's classy, fun, creative, flirty, instills confidence, and brings out your true beauty, that oftentimes, is lost in the mix between our jobs, families and getting errands done.
My job as your photographer is to accentuate the qualities you love about yourself and de-emphasize those you may not be crazy about, guide you on poses and most of all ensure a fun and empowering experience! I have been so blessed to work with so many awesome people in my photography adventures and feel so especially passionate about creating gorgeous images of my ladies because we all work so hard, we deserve it! ...Not to mention the spark it can create in your personal life, relationships,etc. And if you have this in mind as a gift for your significant other, you can be sure he will not soon forget those beautiful images we created for him of YOU! A questionnaire will be emailed to you after reserving your spot, so that your session runs as smoothly as possible.
I am looking forward to an amazing day of capturing the beauty that each one of you possess! Feel free to drop me a line or a call for more information.


Please spread the word to other ladies that might be interested.

Dual Family Shoot

Untitled-1

This was a fun and challenging afternoon at the grandparents' home in a quiet Ashland neighborhood. The more people, the more directions to run in, well, in particular when involving little ones! Cousins Levi & Wyatt ran free much of the time, but took a few moments out to listen for the trains coming by a few streets over. Wyatt also kept busy with his big brother, Mason, who gave him a piggy back ride and played peek-a-boo with him. Luckily, we even had time for some combined family shots!

Hangin' with Jaxon Koi

Its funny how kids go through ages and stages and you tend to forget sometimes when they have outgrown some things... Koi reminded me of how curious and quick on his feet my little one was at about a year and a half old. Yep, Koi kept us going and there was never a dull moment. It was fun experiencing this time in his life when everything is so interesting and exciting. I think his mama was about ready for a nap by the time we finished up...come to think of it, I think we all were! :) So glad we could get together for some photos before they had to head back down the road...
