Christmas Time is Here!!! - Fun Family Shoot, Billerica, MA

This is Lisa and her beautiful family! She asked me to capture some family photos as a gift for her mom this Christmas. It was a wintry afternoon and everyone braved the cold for these fun family pictures featuring her family and her brothers - one even came from Germany!!! 

Winter Wonderland - Hannan Family Christmas 2013

You may recongize Josh and Destiney from the blog post of their gorgeous wedding earlier this fall. They wanted some Christmas card photos, featuring their adorable son! He's a gorgeous baby and so funny! They braved the cold and snow for these beautiful pictures.

Second Honeymoon - Cancun, Mexico

I had to post some of my favorite pictures of me and my hubs during our time in Mexico. We had the most amazing trip and fell more in love. It was our first time away from our kids for an overnight since they were born! We have never gone away or even taken advantage of overnight sitters. My parents were saints to have taken all three for the whole week. The boys had a blast in WI and we had the trip of a lifetime! We have been married for 9.5 years, and each year I have been more and more convinced that I married the right "ONE!" I love you, Ryan! Can't wait for another trip alone with you.
Pictures posed by me, taken by my sister - a novice. She did a great job with my "tricky" camera! :)
Thanks, Nan!

Nan & Brian, Anniversary - Cancun, Mexico

CANCUN, MEXICO!!!!!! I just got back from an amazing vacation with my favorite person in the world (my hubs) and my sister and her husband! We both were married in Summer 2004, and as a little "early anniversary" celebration we went on an all-inclusive vacation to the Moon Palace! We had an unbelievable time; lounging, eating, laughing, exploring, and loving every minute! 

Nan and Brian are the cutest couple. They were an instant match - perfect for each other, and I think they even look alike! you be the judge!

 9.5 years later and they are still so in love and so happy! They are two peas in a pod. She loves everything about him and he just adores her!

 MY FABVORITE SHOT! They have gorgeous eyes!

Happy Anniversary Nan & Brian! You are a great couple, full of so much life and love! I just have one question...."have you met the rockstar?!"

Kristi and Abe - Young Love - Lowell, MA

I absolutely love this couple. They said they have "no good pictures together" - how is that even possible?! They are so adorable and obviously so in love. I had a fun time meeting up in a cemetery in Lowell for these beautiful fall shots. I've known Kristi for a long time now and she has grown up to be a beautiful young woman, inside and out. Its amazing to see her with such a great man, like Abe. They are fun, quirky, and silly - all things you should be when you're YOUNG and IN LOVE!

Gettin' a little artsy for these next two. 

I usually HATE when "the perfect shot" is blurry, but these are so fun and carefree, like this couple. I had to share them. 

Atten Family "Down on the Farm" August 2013 - Cuba City, Wisconsin

Summer in Wisconsin is absolutely beautiful! The corn is high, the grass is green, the sky is blue, and the sunsets are to die for! There is a very relaxed and laid back feel as farmers bask in the glory of their hard work - watching it grow and hoping for rain! I grew up on a big farm in a small town. I had a the joy of being a "farm girl", although I always craved the big city, the farm was where we all belonged. My family has a long tradition of farming and so do many of our neighbors and friends. The Atten Family owns a gorgeous farm house and big farm down the road. I have known Chris and Becky for years and finally got to photograph them and their adorable children. I used Becky's camera so she could try her hand at editing them herself. This is her blog featuring my photos :)

My Boys Love Fall!

Mark Seniors and Cassidy Family Photos - Chelmsford, MA

I had a great time taking pictures of the Cassidy family and also a few of Mark, who will graduate this May. I have known these boys for about 5 years and it's been fun to see them grow up into young men. They have a really fun sense of humor and each their own unique style and personality. ENJOY!!!
(Oh, and we shot all these in their backyard...the foliage is so awesome this time of year everywhere you go!)

Also a shout out to "Mom and Dad" who will be married 25 years in May 2014! A true testimony of love and commitment! Congratuations!
