kalauna, kyle and dominic.

Last spring, Becky, a friend of Kalauna, emailed me after seeing a collection of photos from a maternity shoot I had done for a mutual friend (actually, my best friend Rhianon!) and wondered if I offered gift certificates for portrait sessions. The answer was, and is, absolutely YES! Becky and a few other of Kalauna's friend chipped in to give Kalauna a maternity portrait session for her upcoming baby shower! So nice! :) A month or so after giving Kalauna her gift I got in touch with Becky and found out that she had already had her baby! Yikes. So...instead of a maternity shoot...Kalauna, her husband Kyle and their new precious baby Dominic got a family/baby shoot! And while we were planning to do the shoot on a lovely September day at Prescott Park in Portsmouth NH another wrench got thrown in and it rained...hard...and it was unseasonably cold...freezing actually. Lovely. Luckily a good photog friend of mine let us use her studio building at the last minute. Thank.you.Kristin! Here are just a few of my favorites from this session...

Say hellllooooo to Dominic!







  
Oh hello there!

At the beginning, Dominic was so NOT into this shoot. But Kyle broke out the secret weapon...he sang to him. Dominic stopped crying...immediately. Like magic.

love.
 

 The End.

nikki & matt.

I met Nikki and Matt last fall in Ipswich.  As it turns out, we were practically neighbors, only three blocks away,  and they wanted to support Ipswich small businesses! So, we did just that by meeting in the middle at Zumi's, Ipswich's lovely downtown coffee shop (side note: they make reeeeally good pumpkin spice lattes). As we talked about their wedding I just fell in love with the plans they had - an outdoor fall apple orchard wedding at Smith Barn. AMAZING.  
Thanks Melissa for your help at this shoot!
Enjoy!






Nikki was going to help little London with his jacket...

But he made it clear that he could absolutely do it all by himself! What a cutie.

Gangs all here! Looking gorgeous!




Something blue...

A little gift from Matt. sweetest.groom.ever.



Perfect.















Yes, those are apples on their heads. :)






Love.






  THE END.
