I’ve been so lucky to document the progression of Nicole and Joe’s lives together! First, their engagement photos, on to their wedding, and now maternity! And soon enough, the newborn baby photos!

These were all taken at my in-home studio and around the outside of our house.

Thanks Nicole and Joe… You guys are fantastic – and definitely by now should know you are very photogenic! Can’t wait to meet the baby for his/her first photos!

Here are a few photos that Tom and I took of our absolutely adorable niece a few weeks ago (these were all in our backyard)…

Oooh, babies! Cute, cute twin boys. I was so thrilled with Catherine and Edmond contacted me for the photos of their twin boys Raymond and Elias. Their wedding was one of my first – way back in May of 2005. How appropriate that their babies would be one of my first baby shoots? (Besides friends/family babies, of course) It just seems right! They invited me to the official “meet & greet” for the boys, so I was able to get some of their friends and family members with the babies as well. Can’t wait to see these guys at the one year mark!

I don’t have much to say about Lisa and Keith – I think the photos say it all! They are such a fun, sweet couple and we had a wonderful time for their engagement photos. Can you believe that I had never been to the Arnold Arboretum before? I can’t! I’m so glad that Lisa suggested it for their photos. And I gave her a couple of ideas for fun props to bring, and she completely ran with it! Pinwheels, bubbles, streamers, steampunk goggles! Awesome. Also, you might notice I toyed around with the post-processing of some of these images, with a vintage/golden look.

After shooting weddings since 2005, and since moving to my own home where I have room for a small studio, I am hoping to expand out to the next realm of photography – maternity, newborns and baby’s first year. To help that effort, I am offering a special rate for a package of three portrait sessions – maternity, newborn, and 3-6 months (if you’d like to skip the maternity session and do three sessions of baby’s first year, that is fine too). The sessions can be on location in your home (not more than 50 miles from Newton, NH), at a park or other outdoor location, or at my home studio.

This special rate would be $375 for all three sessions – that would average out to $125 per session (normal rates are $200-$300). The rate includes all editing, online gallery, and of course a DVD of images for you to use as you’d like. For an additional $100 you can get a matted/framed set of three 5×7’s – one from each session.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner! A gift certificate for these three sessions would make a great present for a mother-to-be.

Please pass this along to any friends, family, co-workers or acquaintances that might be interested!

During the past six years I’ve lived and been photographing north of Boston, I’ve come across so many beautiful locations for portrait sessions. And many times when someone books me for an engagement or other lifestyle shoot, they’re at a loss as to where to go. I’m more than happy to suggest places, but I thought a little photo essay might help to make a decision.

If none of these places seem quite right to you, sometimes the best place to go is someplace you’re comfortable – if it’s an engagement session, how about the place where you got engaged? Or met? If you’re looking for family photos, I’m more than happy to come to your home (especially if you have a baby – I know it’s easier to keep them in a comfortable environment they’re used to) and set up a mini-studio. Or just walking around your local town or neighborhood is fun.

But these are some of my favorite places… Some of which I’ve never shot a portrait session at, but I’ve visited… Hey, even if you’re not interested in getting your photos taken, these are just great places to visit north of Boston, period. There are so many more I could list, but I don’t have photos yet. So, maybe there will be a part 2!
