Mini Session

Ah, life is just beautiful. I am elated Katie and Michael asked me to photograph their wedding. They were married at MY favorite place in the world, and I bet it's one of theirs too: Camp Mechuwana. We all grew up going there as campers and staff members. If I could describe this place and the community behind it, I would be at this blog all day. It's breathtaking, spiritual, relaxed, accepting, loving, and most of all, fun. Everyone comes as themselves and is loved for it.
I am so glad Katie and Michael met. I've known them both forever (Michael since he was probably 4 or 5!), and I just adored being a part of their day. I had the best time, and have enjoyed re-living the entire experience through these photos. I hope you all enjoy. The photo booth was also a rip-roaring good time and deserves its own blog post. To follow in a few days...

Eric is a fantastic artist from my hometown. Please check out his work! This song spoke to me as soon as I heard it. Katie and Michael knew each other for a long time before they started dating, and then everything just "fell into place." Thank you Eric for the great music!

I'm catching up in my blogging world! Here is another photo shoot I completed right before heading out on maternity leave. This little girl's grandpa found me around the holidays and booked a session for his daughter. He even had the chance to come out from California and be in some of the shots.
They were such a nice family, and I had so much fun photographing them at the Quabbin Reservoir! I had suggested we meet up there, and they jumped at the idea. It was where they got engaged!






Well, she's almost a month old, but she's here!
Laurel Julia Wallace
We love her.
She's a doll and incredibly sweet.
This isn't her official birth announcement picture because those are going out this week (and wouldn't want to spoil the surprise), but this is one of my favorites.

Aren't these girls the cutest??
This photo session was incredibly fun for me. The girls were sweet and the parents felt like old friends. They almost named one of these cuties (of course I can't remember which one now...) Laurel! I had this realization while I was doing this photo shoot that many of these kiddos I'm photographing these days may be my Holden's classmates (at least come junior or senior high because there are 3 elementary schools). How funny will it be to go to games, dances, etc and see these sweeties? Will Holden have friends over, and I'll dig out photos (literally or digitally) of his friends??
I met this super fun family because they participated in a silent auction I donated this session to. In February, friends of ours lost their house to a fire, and the community rallied to help support them. It felt very nice to be able to do something I love to help support our friends and have the chance to meet this amazing family.
Thank you S family!






This sweet, sweet pup would be a great-great grandmother in human years. What a good sport!
