Mendon, MA.

So much for planning......we planned this shoot with friends over a month ago and of course as soon as we're about 5 minutes from their house (an hour drive) it begins to pour! We got some good shots of these munchkins regardless. Here are Tyler & Alex (6 months) and big brother Hunter who's a BIG 3! ...more to come this week.

We were at a friend's barbecue yesterday and I noticed these two amazing animals right next door. Of course I got the camera out, along with this awesome Canon 70-200 2.8 lens I'm borrowing, and went over to see if I could try the lens out. I had the pleasure of meeting Meghan Hamilton and her husband Mike, who are the owners of Hamilton Equine Services, the beautiful Sleepy Hollow Farm they live on and of course the horses Garth & Farrah. Oops almost forgot Ava, their beautiful black Great Dane who was a bit camera shy, I'll have to get her next time. In addition to the many services she provides, Megan is certified to do therapeutic equine and canine massage...how cool, I didn't even know that existed! Thanks Meghan, I hope to work with you in the future! This was something I've really never done before but anyone who knows me will tell you I've NEVER been afraid to TRY, here are a few of my favorites: (to check out more, go to my website www.luminaimages.com and click on "Slideshows" and "Hamilton Equine Services"). Thanks for viewing!

As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, we traveled to Ontario Canada a couple of weeks ago to spend the weekend with my husband's cousin Alex, his wife Charisma and their son Austin. Alex is godfather to our son Alec, and my husband Manny is godfather to Alex's son Austin....did you get that? Although we only see each other a couple of times a year, we just all share a really neat bond, its as if no time has lapsed since the last visit (email helps!). The time is always so short, but very sweet.

I went thru all 5 of my memory cards that weekend! We shot Charisma's Trash the dress session (see below) and we also shot a family session. My husband and kids sneaked into a few of these, you'll also see a few of my husband's "monster truck" which Austin was pretty amazed with. Austin was a riot, he would make the funniest faces when a truck or motorcycle would pass by. To share that wonder and excitement with a two year old is such a treat. When we asked him to do a "thumbs up" he does this thing with both hands that looks like he's trying to make a square...super cute...anyway...enjoy! thanks Alex, Charisma & Austin

Here it is, my 1st official solo Trash the Dress Session! Charisma who is my "cousin-in-law" and I, have been talking about this for a while, and how much fun it would be to do on our next visit to Canada. Charisma's only concern was that after a few years of marriage and giving birth to beautiful Austin, could she fit back into her wedding dress?.....well let the pictures speak for themselves! How lucky was I to have such a "hot" trash the dress model? Thanks Charisma for volunteering, for driving as I kept saying we were done, but then kept finding cool spots to shoot, and for such a great time!

We spent the weekend in Canada with family and had an amazing time. This is my husband's godchild Austin. Sweetest little boy EVER! ALWAYS smiling and ready to give kisses & hugs to whoever he meets........really precious and look at those lashes! Happy 2nd Birthday Austin!
