2006. wow. I've learned so much both professionally and personally...
As this year comes to a close, I'd like to say 'Thank You' for entrusting me to capture some of the best parts of life...
and reminding just how sweet it is...
CHEERS to a fabulous 2007!

Feel like being inspired?
Then check out the Make a Wish Foundation ® website.
This is an amazing organization that grants wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions and gives them an opportunity to live out their wildest dreams. When you log on you can read lots more about them and find ways that you might be able to participate. I love this one idea where you can make non-cash donations by donating your airline miles for families to travel. ::Click here::to donate your unused miles and help fulfill a wish!
Now you know how I met this family... through their donation to the MAWF gala and fundraiser. I so enjoyed meeting this little cutie who was full of big smiles!
Here are some favorites...
Freeze!
So, I know I am biased here, but I can't believe how way too cute these guys are...my niece and nephew! They are getting so big and losing their baby faces...I wish I could freeze them and remember all the cute, funny, silly things that come out of their mouths forever... although it is very exciting to see them grow into little people with such personality and ideas...
Sweet Charity...part I
I met this family because of a gala and silent auction I donated to recently celebrating the 15th anniversary of Outdoor Explorations. This organization is committed to bringing the possibilities of the outdoors to disabled kids and adults. I was able to attend the event and I loved hearing all the inspirational stories from participants, who at one time or another thought because of their disability, the fun and freedom of the outdoors were off limits. It was a goose bump filled night!
This was a great shoot...I think every parent would want their almost-teenage daughter to have the spunk and confidence of this girl...and every son to be as charming and good natured as this one...
Contemporary... Stylish... Chic...
:::NEW::: Magazine Style Coffee Table Books!
I am super excited to be offering these books. Can't decide which images to choose? How about an upscale, custom designed magazine style album? These are a great, stylish keepsake and are available in a brag book size too.

Old Friend...
It's always amazing when you get to reconnect with an old friend from childhood after many, many years...and then get to see them as a mother for the first time! I was really excited about this shoot for those reasons. I wasn't let down... it was so fun catching up and this little miss is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e . She's very lucky to have such a great Mom. You can see that they'll make a great mother-daughter team!
What a difference a year makes!
Last time I photographed this family there were only two girls. Fast forward a year and now they have a 4 month old brother! I love watching these families grow... the oldest cutie has really grown into her role as a big sister and the 1.5 half year old has turned out be quite the precocious one! They're all about showering lots 'o love on their baby brother. What a lucky guy.
The Tooth...
We had to get these shots done before this pretty little lady's front tooth, which was hanging on by a thread, fell out! We made it through the entire session, and even with some playful wrestling with her brother, the tooth remained in intact... until the next day. Whew. I wonder what the tooth fairy left for her :-)
Sisters...
These two are the cutest... They have such fun together and remind me how lucky I am to have my sister ;-)
Boardwalk Beach...
I love Fall days at the beach! What could be more fun than an eternally smiley 4 year old and her equally as cute 1 year old sister?! This was a great morning in the Cape....
Here are some of my favorites from the day...
Hooray for the Holidays!
It may not be time to unpack the decorations, but it is time to start thinking about your holiday cards! Here are some of my favorites from last year. These cards are all about your own personal style and your own message... quality paper stock and fully customizable ... definitely refrigerator-worthy!!!
If you're thinking about scheduling a portrait session in time for the holidays, now is the time to call. The deadline for card orders is November 25th! It's not too early to be getting in the spirit!

Cousins in the Common...
I had so much fun with this shoot! The Boston Common is always one of my favorites spots for portraits because of all the amazing backdrops...I had the opportunity to photograph these cousins for an upcoming christmas gift for their grandparents. The best part of the day was watching how these guys cracked each other up...the girls especially had the best giggle ever!
