Jessica and Sean – Married! | Rhode Island Photography

What can I say about last weekend’s wedding?  How about stunning, perfect, amazing, wonderful?  Sean and Jessica had a dream wedding.  The lawn of the Commandant’s house in Boston.  Reception under a tent designed by the amazing Abby Gray of Olivia Browning in the theme of all things Boston marathon (perfect for two marathon runners!).  Gorgeous flowers.  Perfect Red Sox /  (not-as-perfect) Yankees cupcakes.  Awesome music.

Seriously a stunning, fabulous day.

Kristina and I were SO thrilled that they chose us to photograph their day.  We had so much fun with this wedding and meeting a whole new set of people and families.  We are so fortunate to do what we do and witness such incredibly personal, intimate and joyful moments.  And I have to say, seeing your super sweet, quiet, adorable, polite bride and groom turn into crazy dancing maniacs on the dance floor is also pretty cool ;)

There’s a lot.  Because I want there to be :)    Congratulations Jessica and Sean!!  I hope you had an amazing honeymoon!

(BTW one of my personal favorites along with the black and white of their first dance? Jessica’s parents giving her away.  The look on her mom’s face, the hand on her back…as a mom, I have some sense of the emotion that was there and I absolutely love it.)

Senior Beauty | Rhode Island Photography

A few weeks ago I was contacted by O’s mother to do some pictures of her oldest daughter who would soon be leaving for school.  I had done a newborn session for someone the family knew and they were interested in having me come out for photos as well.  I met them at the beautiful East Sandwich beach out on Cape Cod – truly stunning location.  I would love to shoot there much more often (road trip, anyone?)  Rocks, dunes, sand the softest you have ever felt and of course the water.  And then I got to add into all of the the absolutely gorgeous O.  She had already graduated from high school a few weeks prior, but mom and dad wanted some photos to give to grandparents and family.

In a day and age where teenagers seem to be growing up so quickly and 18 year olds look more like 25 or older, it was so refreshing to see such a natural beauty who somehow exuded youthfulness and quiet elegance at the same time.  I had such a great time shooting her session – I mean how could I not??  Fabulous location, great light, a willing, stunning participant and a fun family.  Enjoy, O and family and best of luck at school – you’re going to do great!!

Precious | Rhode Island Baby Photography

I have been extremely busy these past few weeks – 9 sessions in eight days topped by a wedding this past Saturday.  Awesome and fun but super intense and slightly exhausting.  As a result though, I have tons of things to share as you could probably tell by the number of posts last week.  I have more this week!!!

First up today is a very very incredibly special session.  Last year around Christmas time I took part in a national program called “Giving is Awesome.”  Basically it was to find a very deserving family and give them the gift of photography.  A session and all of the files from that session.  I got several wonderful, amazing and heartbreaking entries but the one that stood out to me the most was the story of baby Violet.  I don’t want to get into too many details, but mom has had many struggles over the years with some major health issues and their dream of having a baby didn’t ever seem to be happening.  Through a few blessed twists of fate, they were able to adopt the beautiful baby Violet.  Her adoption was just finalized last month and she turns one any time now.  So it was the perfect time to do their session and celebrate what a miracle they have received.

We had such a great time during their session and Violet is not only beautiful, but so sweet and scrumptious.  And as a side note, it turned out that both the nominator and the nominee went to UConn with Matt so he got to reconnect with them as well.  Good all around :)   Enjoy!
