Best Buds | Rhode Island Photography

We are really lucky in our lives to have friends.  Truly great friends – even luckier still.  Every once in a while people meet and really hit it off and become the best kinds of friends.  That is the story with A. and T.  They are very good friends, but to add a special twist, their little ones, only two months apart are also very best buddies.  Unfortunately, T and her husband are set to start a new part of their life a few states away.  But before they moved, these friends wanted to do a photo shoot with each other and their kids so that they could have photographs to remember the time by.  I had previously photographed little M. when he was only eight months old to it was such fun to shoot him older and with his best friend- and definitely something different for me.  We met on the East Side and started with a very cool location and then worked our way up and down the hilly streets.  I got some moments that I am sure the moms will treasure and the kids will get to look back on and smile. 🙂  T. I hope you love your new city and enjoy your brand new chapter!!! 

Glow | Maternity Photography

My very last session in Philadelphia was an evening / sunset maternity session for the gorgeous miss A who was in the same residency program as my husband.  Usually they say that pregnant women have a glow.  We have all heard it.  She was glowing personified.  SO so gorgeous with one of the most perfect bellies I have ever seen in my life.  Her husband J and daughter R were kind enough to chauffeur join us on our adventure through Valley Forge park and we even convinced them to hop in a few photos.  And with the lighting and backgrounds we had – perfection.  Aren’t they just gorgeous??  I can’t wait to see pictures of their new little girl in a few more weeks!  It was so great seeing you guys again – enjoy these last few weeks and I can’t wait to hear!  🙂

Precious Luke | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

So as I mentioned yesterday  – two 8 lbs 12 oz Lukes in two days.  Today – my second Luke.  Sara has a super special place in my heart in terms of clients because she was one of my first in my first year and continues to be one of my best.  And I mean that in terms of just being a great client.  She appreciates the art in photography.  This is the fourth time I have photographed her family.   She has a wall of photos from different sessions.  I think she has tol every person she knows about me.  She follows the biz page and leaves sweet comments and is friends with me on my personal page as well.  She has supported me from the first time we met.  I could go on and on. There are a handful of people from Philly that fit that select list and she is right at the top.  I have always counted myself lucky to have her in my (biz) life.   Plus her daughter is adorably cute and could really give Nolan a run for his money if they ever hooked up.  😉

Sara, Dave and Caroline it was great to see you guys again, I had so much fun!!!

Sweet Baby Luke | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Two years ago (roughly) I did sessions for Kristen and Sara of their newborn baby girls.  This past weekend I returned to Philadelphia to do newborn sessions for them again.  It should be stated that Sara and Kristen don’t know each other at all and live about 30 miles or so apart and in different states.  It just so happens that both Sara and Kristen gave birth a few days early to boys.  Both weighing 8 lbs and 12 oz.  And named Luke.  Yes, both of them.  Same name, same weights, almost the same birth dates.  And both photographed by me 😉

First up today is Kristen’s Luke.  Utter perfection.  I lost approximately ten pounds during this session because I had the brilliant idea (since I had left my space heater in RI) to do the session on their screened in back porch.  Where it was 93 degrees.  Luke was very happy.  Me, well, let’s just say I had a really nice much needed shower when I got back to the hotel.  He did great though, and we also snuck in some pictures of big sis who I hadn’t seen since she was eight weeks old.  What a gorgeous gorgeous family these guys have made!

First, a before and after.  On the left, big sister’s newborn session.   And on the right, this past weekend with a new baby.  I wish I had set the shot up a little differently, but I realized after I got this that I had the similar one from before.

And from this weekend

Sweet Baby C | Rhode Island Family Photographer

I met up Saturday morning with one of my nursery contest runners up.  When I offered a special session for them, T. jumped right on it which I was really excited about because, personally, I adored her nursery.  And it didn’t disappoint in person.  So well put together, so cute and so perfect for little C.  Pink and green and owls everywhere you looked.  The theme just carried through beautifully into even the tiniest details.  And C. was perfectly adorable.  Mom had told me ahead of time that they were used to her “serious” look.  Let me tell you, I got a LOT of serious 🙂  But can you blame her?  This stranger coming into your room and yard with a big old camera?  I’d be pretty darned suspicious as well!!  We started in the yard and then spent some time in her beautiful nursery.  I had such a good time with her, even if she didn’t find me nearly as funny as I think I am 😉
