Tut, Tut, looks like rain

The weather this past week has been great for outdoor sittings! Too bad the rain is going to start this weekend.

I had two great shoots last week,

The first was these three great kids. Well, two kids and one extremely helpful older sister. It was so much fun to photograph them playing and having a good time.

The second was a beautiful first grade teacher. She was so great, and commented on how someone should photograph me while I am shooting. She says I take funny positions and look somewhat like an old Greek statue. :) People tell me all the time that I look funny, but I never really thought about it. I just do whatever makes the shot in my lens, I get lost in it.

My weekend plans have changed a bit due to the rain, but I am even more excited about what I am doing instead. My god-daughter Ashley is going to be staying with me. On Sunday, I think we are going to be playing in the rain.

Enjoy the last hour of sunshine!

Suzanne and Martin

What a wonderful couple.

Their wedding is just over a month away. A beautiful barn is where their reception is going to be held so we thought only fitting that we do their engagement photos there. They were so great to photograph because they were so loving toward each other and went along with most of my ideas….even climbing a tree!

Lucky Me

I am so grateful every day to be doing what I am doing. I love my job! The people I get to photograph, and spend time with, I just keep thinking how lucky I am.

Last week I photographed this gorgeous 10 month old. She was such a blast! She loved rolling around on Mommy's bed, playing peek a boo and giggling.

Thanks again to her mom for letting me photograph her!

You can have your cake...

...and eat it too!! :)

Last week I did Arianna's one year pictures. I have had this cake idea since she was born! ;)

Peek a Boo

Feet in the cake

Rub a dub dub, one baby in the tub

On Sunday I went down to visit my friend Ellen and help her photograph a wedding. I went a few hours early and took her family photo's. We had such a good time!:

Family piggy back!

Photo Day Extravaganza

Last week I had spent the day with some of my friends and fellow photographers having a fun photo day. We all had a chance to get in front of the camera modeling for each other. Let me introduce you:

Jay - She thought she could avoid my camera. :)

Meg - The 80's Movie Star

Krista - The 40's pin-up girl

Emily - The Rock Star

Here are a few more of my favorites, There are no more of Jay for today (I was lucky I was able to get one shot from her, she was a little camera shy), I will have more next week:

That's all for tonight, I'm doing Ellen's family portraits on Sunday (also photographing her aunt's wedding), Monday I am photographing a beautiful model named Michelle and Tuesday I am going to see Jay and Arianna and do Arianna's one year pictures. It's hard to believe she is going to be one already!! A busy few days ahead of me. I'm excited!!

Model Mayhem...

So lately I have been doing quite a few model shoots. I'm having alot of fun with it, and it keeps me shooting which, is so important.

Here's my favorite shot from some of my recent shoots:

Jen at the Dance Complex in Cambridge

Michelle at Revere Beach

Meg at the Arnold Arboritum in Jamaica Plain

Becca and Ciara at my house

This Sunday I am photographing my beautiful friend Ellen with her son and husband. In the afternoon I am helping Ellen photograph her aunt's wedding which should be a blast.

I am working on the pictures I took at last weeks photo day. Keep checking back! They'll be up soon. :)

R.I.P to my computer

So my computer passed away this morning, from complications in surgery. The computer guy was able to get all my images off of it, which is great! My dad was nice enough to let me borrow his laptop so I will be able to get images edited that have been sitting on Cd's for over a week now. I promise that I will have some new images up soon.

An ode to my NEW 50mm lens...

I would write a song about it if I had the musical talent! It is a beautiful new lens just got last week and am IN LOVE with! Why? you ask, here are a few examples:

Jasmine

Ali

OK, I am done with that! :)

Last week was so busy, I didn't have the time to post anything new. Above are Jasmine and Ali. Jasmine is a stunning model who I had a great shoot with at MIT and Ali is a natural beauty I met at Gulu-Gulu. We had such a good time because she was so real and fun to talk with!

Yesterday was one of those days I LOVE my job. Not that I don't all the time, but it just made me sit back and say "I can't believe I get to do this for a living!" I photographed a really fun model, Jen at the dance complex in Cambridge. The light was perfect and we gabbed the whole time. After my shoot I met with fantastic potential wedding clients. They were both so open, warm and friendly it made want to beg them to shoot their wedding! :)

"What's up for me this week?" you wonder. Well, on Wednesday I have a shoot with Michelle, a gorgeous model, Saturday is Mom's 50th Surprise Birthday party (which she personally invited me to ;), and Sunday I have two shoots, one at the Beautiful Arnold Arboretum and the next at my house. Busy, Busy week for me...WOOHOO!

I am excited to announce...

... My friend Krista's CD "Vices" came out today!

She is not only beautiful, but filled with talent. She has breathtaking voice, good music you can sing along to, and a tolerance for paparazzi like you wouldn't believe ;) It can't get much better than that! If you are interested in hearing her music or purchasing her CD check out: http://www.myspace.com/kristabaroni

One last exciting thing to mention is that I took the picture on the cover! Yay! :)

Lynette's beautiful children

Last Sunday, my friend Lynette came over with her three gorgeous kids. We had such a fun little photo shoot.

Also on Sunday I photographed a stunning young model named Becca. Her eyes are a beautiful blue. I think she has a long career ahead of her.

The lovely and beautiful Jaime!

Last week I photographed my friend Jaime. We had such a good time out in the snow taking pictures on her roof. She is from Alaska so I thought snow would make a great backdrop!

I have a busy day tomorrow, photographing my friend Lynette's two beautiful daughters and a stunning model named Rebecca. There are going to be more images up soon! :)
