Eme's a Big Sister : Welcome Home Lauryn

My best friend Sarah has a new addition to the family, welcome Lauryn Elizabeth! Yes, this means my Godchild Emersyn is a big sister and from what I hear, she's doing her sisterly duties to the fullest!!

Here are a few images that I took of the family. Enjoy!   

Eme LOVES holding Lauryn.
 

Eme's three now and as cute as a button!
 

When I first saw Lauryn, I couldn't believe how tiny she was. I totally forgot the size of a newborn child.

Ava is Here!

One of my good friends Jodi just had her first baby, Ava, three weeks ago. Friday evening I finally had a chance to stop by and see the little munchkin. She's such a doll! Congrats Jodi!

Here are a few pictures of precious Ava. Enjoy!

Welcoming Lauryn Elizabeth

My best friend Sarah (and her husband Barry) just had her second child on Saturday, May 9th. Lauryn Elizabeth was born at 8:21PM weighing in at 7lbs 14 ounces and 20 inches long. This makes Emersyn Grace a big sister!

I am so happy for the family and am very impressed with how at ease Sarah is with the newborn. Second time around looks much easier!

Here are a few pictures of Lauryn not even a day old (more to come later in the week). Enjoy!

Baby Faces: Mia

This past weekend I had a chance to photograph one of my 2008 couple's (Laura and Mike)  six month old baby Mia. Mia is way to cute for words, so I'll leave it for the pictures to do the talking.

Check out this cutie pie Mia!!

Maya and Family

I am so excited to share this post with everyone. This is just the best! this is why I love being a photographer!! I captured Jamie and Matt's wedding in December 2005, in 2007 I got to photograph their adorable daughter Maya, and now I got to photograph their family yet again. Maya is just a doll, looking through these pictures and working on them gives me the greatest joy.

Here are some pics from November 2007, super cute, right?!

     

And here is now, enjoy!!!

Stephanie and TJ's Engagement: Buttonwood Farms (Sunflowers)

Stephanie and TJ are to be married on September 5, 2009. This past week, I had the pleasure to photograph their engagement session at Buttonwood Farms in Griswold, Connecticut--big thanks to Carla Ten Eyck's Blog posts from Buttonwood Farms from last year (once I saw her pics from there, I made a mental note, must go there next year). Every year Buttonwood Farms has acres of sunflowers, proceeds from the sale of the sunflowers goes towards Make-a-Wish Foundation of Connecticut.

I was so happy that Stephanie and TJ wanted to have their session amongst what seems like millions of sunflowers, I've never seen anything like it!! I can't even put what I saw into words, I'll let the pictures tell the story :) I highly recommend anyone who lives in Connecticut go see the sunflowers.

I had a great time working with Stephanie and TJ, and am super excited to capture their wedding day next month. Here are a few of my favorite images from their session. Enjoy!

Cristy & Brian: Engagement at Elizabeth Park

Cristy and Brian are to be married on June 25, 2010. The celebration is going to be held at The Pond House Cafe at Elizabeth Park, and it is the perfect date for the timing of the roses blooming (how smart is that, love it!).  Cristy was also hoping to time the engagement session to the exact date a year in advance, but due to the weather it didn't work out.

Here are a few of my favorite images from Cristy and Brian's engagement session. Enjoy!

Happy 2nd Birthday Emersyn Grace

Quickest Blog ever, since I'm off to a wedding after this. I couldn't help myself, I needed to post this cute family picture of some of my favorite people.

My God Child and best friend's daughter Emersyn Grace's second birthday was May 16. This past Monday, we celebrated the big day. I've only looked at this one pic, and had to post, I think it's sooo cute!

Happy Birthday Eme!!
