{Brian + Rebecca}

I traveled up to Maine to photograph this adorable couple who are expecting their first baby. Rebecca has one of those smiles that can light up an entire room and their love for one another is so endearing. Some of my favorite images from the sitting came from me just letting them be themselves. They also have two of the sweetest little beagles I've ever met. As I'm still heavily in editing mode--and fighting the flu--I will be posting a couple more from this session (including the puppies) later. Thank you Brian and Rebecca for inviting me to capture this highly anticipated moment in your lives! I can't wait to meet your new little one!

{Cody + Family}

When I got an email from the lovely Jessica, I was reminded at how small the world really is. Turns out that Jessica attended a wedding I shot in Bend, OR about 6-7 years ago when we both lived out there. She eventually moved back home to New Hampshire, got married, and had a beautiful little boy named Cody. In her email she told me that she'd always loved my work, couldn't believe that I was now on the east coast, and could I come take photos of her family. I was both surprised and more than happy to oblige! At the shoot we talked about Oregon and reminisced about all of our favorite places in Bend. Her husband, Ron, cracked me up with his wonderful sense of humor--and Ron, I still love your "Good Will Hunting" accent. ;o) Cody was such a doll and adorably handsome to boot! I know I could have stayed there for hours taking pictures and chatting, but we've promised to get together again soon--and this time share a beer and maybe some football, too. Jessica, I'm so glad you "stalked my blog" all these years and truly loved capturing your family!

{The Pyatt's}

My daughter, Megan, is best friend's with a wonderful little girl named Savannah. Through her we've had the pleasure of meeting her equally wonderful family who just so happen to hail from the west coast as well. Last month we got together for a family shoot in the park next to the law school (or as Melanie puts it, "Rob's 'Home Away From Home'"). The weather was chilly, the sun was bright and high, but everyone put on their best smiles and I got some great shots. Thanks Pyatt family for being such troopers!

{Baxter + Sampson + Their People}

In my excitement to get the pictures posted yesterday, I left out two very important members of Derek and Sara's family...Baxter and Sampson. I had the photograph ready to post, however given it was a "singleton" rather than a collage, it got overlooked in the rush to post. So without further ado, I present the sweet boys already adding joy to their family's home...

{Derek + Sara}

Derek and Sara were so much fun to work with {and I LOVED Sara's gorgeous red hair and stunning blue eyes}! They both had a great sense of humor which made the sitting both enjoyable and relaxing. Sara and Derek, it was great to work with you both and thank you for letting me be a part of this awesome adventure!

{Easton}

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege to photograph one of the cutest babies I think I've ever seen. With a full head of hair and an adorable smile, Easton became quite the ham in front of the camera. He grinned, he frowned, he put on a "serious" face, and everything in between. Needless to say, I shot a lot. Easton, thanks for being so sweet and Derek, I think you're right...future GAP model indeed!
