Semi Caught Up...

Ok, now that the holiday weekend has past and the Matilda Jane Trunk Shows are over, I can catch up on a couple personal photos. We celebrated hubby's 31st birthday at Fenway Park. It was great to bring both the boys to a game. It was Brayden's 2nd and Kieran's first time to Boston. Jesse's fabulous Auntie Wheat hosted us for a couple of days up in Quincy. She was a GREAT help to us and the boys, but I am sure she is happy to have some peace and quiet back :)

One of the best parts of the weekend, Brayden danced and played air guitar to this street performer at Faneuil Hall. He must of thought Brayden was a pretty good, since he invited him to come up and play back up drums for him :)

Here is Kieran in his Gnorasurus shirt

We got to Fenway a couple hours early in order to catch batting practice. Due to the weather, they practiced inside but the pitchers were out warming up. Wheat watched Kieran and Jesse took Brayden for a walk while I got to run around and shoot some photos. I then planted myself near the dugout waiting for the players to come in and out of the dugout. At one point, Manny Delcarmen came in and started signing some baseballs. Then next thing I see, Brayden walking cautiously walking across the top the the dugout, to give his glove to Manny to sign. I was in the mist of a mild heart attack and saying "That's my boy!" when the lady next to me reminded me to take a picture.

A couple hours before game time, I was walking down towards Yawkey Way, when I ran into one of the Red Sox set up men, Hideki Okajima. He stopped and signed some autographs for the fans. I had Kieran in one arm and camera in the other, so I just shot away.

This is when JD Drew hit the first of 2 Grand Slams we saw at this game.

Fenway Park is one of the oldest ballparks in the country, and still has a lot of its original features including some of the grandstand chairs. After the game, I took a couple quick pics of Brayden playing around in them.

I am a Canon girl, but I had lens envy :)

Dodging Raindrops..

It was another great weekend. I am pretty lucky that I have dodged as many raindrops as I have. It turned out to be a nice Saturday in the park with this fabulous family. We saw wild turkey, geese, frogs and turtles. About 30 minutes later, it was pouring...

Matlida Jane Trunk Show, This Weekend!!!

I am so excited that the Trunk is here. This stuff is soooo supper cute. Be sure to swing by one of the three shows! You can get more info HERE.

Baby Boy...

It has been almost 2 weeks since I first met this little guy, only days after he came into the world. He has a happy but tired momma, a smitten daddy and a sister who loves him, but still refuses to change a diaper ;) He is such a good baby and a real blessing to his family.

One Fun Momma...

I am so lucky to have the free spirit clients that I have. This mommy to be is a great example. There is nothing like being greeted at the door with a hug, it makes you feel so welcome. Her and her family were very welcoming and live in one of the most unique homes in the Hudson Valley. I was honored to be chosen to document their babies arrival.

And, this shoot brought a first for me, my first horse maternity shoot. Violet the horse is expecting any day now.

Big sister to be

Return of the Little Red Head...

I have been photographing this family for almost 2 years now. I first met this family when I did little B's birth announcements 2 years ago. Since then, we have done several holiday and family sessions. Little B is most famous for getting me published in the Little Red Heads Across America book. Since this family had recently relocated to FL, it was great that we were able to get together on a visit back home.



I think big brother thought we were shooting for Little Man GQ :)

Birthday Gift For Grandma...

9 Children, 1 group photo, all eyes front, no problem....thanks to the help of all the parents :) This is a special gift for Grandma's birthday.


The girls had a busy day ahead and were not able to stick around, but I did get to hang out with the boys.


This little guy was my muse for the "Welcoming Me" collection. His mama's fabulous belly is on my website and is featured in my gallery at Waddle N Swaddle. They do grow up so fast.

Running Away...

The family and I will be running away for a couple of days. We are heading to Boston to see the World Champs in action. We have great seats so I am hoping to get some great pictures at batting practice. I would love for history to be made while we are there and see Manny hit 500. We will see. This will be Brayden's 2nd visit to Fenway and Kieran's 1st.

We also plan on going to the visit the New England Sea Aquarium. We say it is for the kids, but hubby and I love it just as much.

Should you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to email me and I will answer them when I return this weekend.

Thanks!

A No-No For The Sox!

For all of you who know me, or have seen my car, know I am a Red Sox fan! Tonight, the Sox made history again and Jon Lester pitched the 18th No Hitter in Red Sox history. Hubby, the boys and I are heading to Boston this week to hopefully see Manny Ramirez make history too, 500 homers.

CONGRATS LESTER!

Is The Weekend Over Already...

Birthday parties, baseball games, new babies, little boys and little girls, there definitely wasn't time to be board this weekend. What another great day and two great families.


Little Miss S is a sure contender for "Next Top Model." This little girl knows how to work the camera. And we thought she was going to be shy ;)




This momma and I had our little guys just 3 days apart. I was lucky to meet her when I took her photos as part of a commercial photo shoot for Waddle N Swaddle's maternity wear. This time, I got the pleasure of meeting the whole family.


Ok, now I need a mocha!

Hanging With The Boys...

What a great day it turned out to be. Running around with these two was like spending a day with my boys. We had a great time and I found my new favorite location in Southern Dutchess.

Welcome To The World...

Remember this fabulous momma:


Well, after a long day and night at the hospital, mommy, daddy and big sister were very happy to announce the arrival of their new son (and brother). You can see that daddy is so smitten with his new son and is taking great care of mommy. Congrats to your new family!

There's nothing like 2 day old feet :)

Fabulous Birth Announcments...

Taking pictures of triplets is fun and very rare, but creating their birth announcements was even better! Here is a peak at my tri-fold birth announcements that are sure to stand out amongst the others!

I DID IT!!! My first 5K...

This was one of those personal goals I set for myself. Today I ran the Miles of Hope 5K run, a benefit to raise money for those in the Hudson Valley whom have been affected by breast cancer. I don't normally run for enjoyment, only for sports and the last time I played sports, college. The thought of running 3.2 miles straight...huh! Lucky for me, I have some super friends who wanted to join me and raise money for a good cause, and a hubby who was willing to sit back and watch the kiddies.

I did much better than I ever anticipated, 29:45. The people I ran with, stranger or friend, all supported one another and cheered each other on. It was a great event to be apart of.

Afterwards, they had a great family event set up with face painting, raffles, Starbucks (yum), ice cream and massage. Yes, massage!! I got a great 5 minute massage from Heather Horton, made me want to float like a cloud off the table.

Tomorrow, I am off to hang with my boys.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Thank you clouds...

A couple of clouds and dark sky's didn't stop us from going out and enjoying the beautiful surrounding's of this campus. Mommy was thinking ahead in preparing for this Father's Day gift. We even got to take a quick trip to his work while he was out on a training call. Shhhh....it's a secret :)





The colors of the trees and grounds were so beautiful, I took my kids back later to get some shots.
