Family: Boston, MA

Fall is a perfect time for family photos in Massachusetts. You can not beat the colors! I am so glad we were able to schedule this family prior to the last leaf falling! You will recognize three of them from earlier posts, but notice they have added one more Little to their brood over the last year! Congratulations!!

Newborn: Boston, MA

Newborns always make me feel like I need to whisper...so I will tell you quietly that this is one of three amazing, brand new Littles I have had the pleasure to meet over the last 4 weeks. WOW! (...and the Winter wasn't even that cold this year!) Mom & Dad are both healthy and happy, as well as their little boy. YAY! At only 5 days old I think it is kind of amazing how he was mugging for the camera.

Disclaimer: Dear viewers, faithful followers of my work will observe that several of the images below are a bit of a departure for me. I rarely actually pose my Littles. (My opinion has always been that it is akin to dressing up innocent animals for one's amusement which, because of their inability to provide consent, should never be done.) However, I am embracing new things these days and decided to be open minded. Voila! I am actually really excited about these and might even do it again. This does not, however mean that I want to see the family Beagle wearing antlers at Christmas.

Congratulations McCoys!

Engagment Session: Fairhaven, MA

A few Sundays ago I spent a lovely late afternoon with the incomparable Megan & Eric. Megan and I shared a flat a while back when Eric was still courting her, so when they finally decided to tie I was overjoyed. These two are the type of couple perfectly matched; a yin and yang of qualities which add up to a truly loving partnership. What I love about Megan & Eric the most is their innate ability to make each other laugh...as you will see! (and Megan has a great infectious laugh!) When Eric would come over to our place on the weekends they would truly crack each other up the entire time. They take themselves just seriously enough to get through the day, but at the end of it would prefer to snuggle on the couch with a carton of ice cream enjoying Days of Our Lives (Megan converted Eric) or Biggest Loser. Their wedding is planned to be understated and lovely with just the right amount of "billions to budget" ratio! After our session at Fairhaven High School ( a great locale for engagement pics, by the way) they took me out to dinner at Fathom's Grille on the water in Fairhaven to catch up. It was excellent!!! Much love to you both!

Congrats Megan & Eric
