Baptism

Today my husband and I had the pleasure of being Godparents to my sister & brother-in-laws baby Lillian Grace......I'm sure you've seen her all over my blog already...but she's the sweetest thing ever, and we're so honored to be her Godparents.

Mendon, MA

Here are the Carvalho boys, Alex & Tyler who are 6 month old twins, and a few of Hunter who's their 3 year old big brother. We had this session planned for a while with their parents Chris & Celeste who are really good friends of ours, and of course it was downpouring right before we got there. Now I thought twins wouldn't be so bad as I know Celeste keeps them on the same schedule, but they are so completely different! When one cried the other laughed, while one slept the other was awake...it was pretty amusing, but somehow we got some really sweet pictures! I think this song fits so perfectly, for those of you who know Disney's "Toy Story" movie, you can relate and for those of you who don't its basically about 2 completely different toys competing to be a little boys "favorite" and in the end the end up best friends. I can see these three struggling for mom's attention, but in the end they'll be the best of friends.

Here's my niece Lilly (soon to be godchild) at 3 months. We have this beautiful little spot in the front of our home, it's so lush and looks so "untouched" or uninhabited...almost like it's my "secret garden", although it's smack dad right by the edge of the street so not so "secret"! but I thought it would be a sweet spot to photograph Lillian, here are a few of my favorites:

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.

Such a blessing to be surrounded not only by my own children, but by the many beautiful babies I get to photograph continually. It constantly reminds me just how precious our time with them is, and to always kiss those cheeks, and caress their precious little hands, and feel that unforgettable skin, because they grow up so fast....and then kisses from mom are only behind closed doors at home where friends can't see because it's embarrassing!

This is little Matthew at 4 weeks, who's tummy we assume wasn't feeling so well because the poor thing just wasn't comfortable, but he hung in there which resulted in the cutest pictures of those cheeks (and everything else)! Congratulations, Joe, Jen and big sister Katelyn!

This Memorial Day weekend was quite a busy one for sure, I was lucky enough to photograph so many cute little people! I met Nichole and Charlie Sunday morning, who entrusted me to photograph their first little guy Chase, he was born 8 weeks ago on April 1st. Chase was wide awake and in a great mood, and it was really easy to get carried away with pictures as they were such a beautiful family. It wasn't until I put this slideshow together did I notice the many little faces Chase made...so cute, he has quite a personality already! Thank you Nichole & Charlie.....
(please be patient as the slideshow loads)

My little sister Kathy (she'll ALWAYS be my LITTLE sister) gave birth to her first child almost 3 weeks ago. It's so wonderful to share this experience with her and have a baby around again especially now that the boys are older. The BONUS for me is that she was a girl. Girl clothes are so much more fun to buy! Here is Lilly at 2 weeks:
