Levi | Newborn | Freetown, MA

This family has a special place in my heart! I have had the opportunity of photographing them for years now! Not to mention Caroline is a hair color wizard! So to everyone who asks me who does my hair, its this girl right here! She is amazing!

Not only is she amazing at hair but she is an amazing mother of two and seriously births the most perfect tiny humans ever! Miss adeline is two and is full of sugar and spice and everything sassy! This little girl keeps her parents on their toes and then there is the newest addition who is such a little sweetie! Congrats to you all on your newest addition.

PS please reconsider a third. cough cough ❤ 🙂 

 

Payton | 2 weeks new | Acushnet, MA

“She may be little but she is fierce”

This teenie tiny princess came to visit me at just about two weeks old weighing just over 4 lbs. Miss Payton had to spend sometime in the NICU, so we had to push her session back a bit however we ended up taking her photos on her actual due date and she slept like a dream!

 

She was the sweetest little thing and her parents were amazing! When mom contacted me and said “very girlie, pink and floral” that was music to my ears. Anyone who knows me knows that peonies are my favorite flower ever. So I immediately had to make a trip to the store for some pink peonies! And I may have placed an order or two for some other items for this little beauties session!

It was a pleasure photographing this beautiful little family! Congrats to you all! xo

 

Correia Maternity | Newport RI

Majority of my maternity sessions take place on location outdoors or in studio, but obviously in New England the weather isn’t always predictable unfortunately. So with this crazy weather and the unpredictability of babies, we opted for a new location. All I can say is WOW was it amazing! Stepped out of my comfort zone and can I just say I am so glad I did this family rocked this session as they always do!

So firstly can you say FLAWLESS! The dress, hair, makeup, location….everything was absolutely perfect for this session. Caroline is absolutely stunning and I was very sad to hear that this will be her last pregnancy, still keeping my fingers crossed that maybe she’ll change her mind because her and her high school sweetheart make the most beautiful babies ever!

I have been photographing this family since Little Miss Adeline made her grand debut! I love watching this family grow, it is hands down the best part about doing what I do! I have known Caroline since we were kids and having the opportunity to photograph her  family is amazing! I am so happy for the three of you and cannot wait to meet this handsome, yet stubborn little guy! (Note: Mama is now 4 days over due) Fingers crossed that Mr. Levi doesn’t make his very uncomfortable mama wait much longer!

Hunter’s Heart | CHD Awareness | New Bedford, MA

Please say hello to Hunter! This sweet little boy was born with Tetralogy of Fallot-Pulmonary Atresia and as you can see he is quite the little fighter. I was honored to have the opportunity to photograph this handsome little guy.

On January 23rd Hunter underwent open heart surgery to repair his VSD and lets just say this little boy rocked his scar in honor or CHD Awareness week!

His dad who is a Marine Vetran and his mother who is one of the sweetest people I have ever met are such rockstars and I admire them! Hunter is such a sweet, spunky little guy and I look forward to watching him grow and bring awareness and hope to every child and family out there who is born with CHD.

The Cruz Family |Maternity | New Bedford, MA

There is nothing I love more than having the ability to watch families grow together. This is one of the first families I have had the privilege of photographing since I relocated from Virginia. It all started with a lemonade stand first birthday cake smash!

So when they contacted me to document their second pregnancy I was ecstatic! The beach was gorgeous and that sky though! Can you even stand how gorgeous Jess is! Like seriously a flawless pregnant mama!

And although this post is a little bit on the late side thats okay because I’m super excited that in a few short weeks I get to photograph this amazing family of four soon to be five! Yep you read correctly! Cruz Party of 5 coming in May 2018!

Jenn&Andy Say I Do | New Bedford, MA

“We are all a little weird,                                                                                                                  and life’s a little weird,                                                                                                                   and when we find someone                                                                                                         whose weirdness is compatible                                                                                                    with ours, we join up with them                                                                                                     and fall in mutual weirdness                                                                                                           and call it love”

So I’m typically not a super emotional person but lets just say a good wedding does bring me to tears. Yes full blown cry tears. Don’t judge me! This wedding was gorgeous and the bride was stunning! I don’t post a lot of weddings because they are not my forte. I’m more of the (what happens after the honeymoon) kind of photographer haha bring me all the pregnant bellies and babies! However when I do have someone contact me for a wedding I hardly ever turn it down. Its fun to photograph something that I don’t usually do! Step out of my comfort zone and enjoy a good cry! 🙂

 

 

Adrian | 14 days New | New Bedford, MA

I always have clients who ask prior to a session “What happens if my baby won’t sleep! Then what!?” WELL….WE GO WITH THE FLOW! lol I have photographed so many newborns, and I can promise you that if you little one doesn’t sleep they are not the first and will certainly not be the last! Newborn babies are on their own program which I am sure you know based on the sleepless nights I am sure you are currently having. Newborn photography takes an incredible amount of patiences which you will be happy to know I have plenty of! So please ease your mind knowing that even if your little one won’t sleep, we will get beautiful images of your handsome little guy or beautiful little girl regardless!

Now this little guy was having nothing to do with sleeping on this particular day but thats perfectly fine because sometimes photos with them wide awake end up being the very best! This just happens to be the second little boy this year that I have had the privilege of photographing with a full head of hair! Can you even stand it! How gorgeous is he! Even though sleeping was not his thing I think we still managed to get some amazing photos of his sweet little rolls and his wonderful parents!

 

Eli | Newborn | New Bedford, MA

Eli (Not to be confused with Manny, just as an FYI) is a New England Patriots fan! Just wanted to get that straight before hand! lol

This little bundle of sweetness was a dream to photograph. Not only did he sleep so soundly during his session but check out all of that hair! I’ve known this little guys mom for quite sometime now and it was great to have the opportunity to photograph her  newest addition! I also had the company of his very helpful big sister! Great job mom and dad! They are both beautiful!

 

Miss Lydia – 6 weeks old

When your baby cousin has her own baby! I remember the day she was born! I specifically remember it being a friday night because I was watching my TGIFriday on I believe it was ABC! haha

Miss Lydia was six weeks early and weighed only 3 lbs, 13 oz. So we opted to wait until she was a little bit older to do her photos. Even though she was born so early and so tiny this little one is a fighter and thankfully only spent a very short period of time in the NICU. She brings the quote “Though she be but little, she is fierce” to a whole new level.

It really is crazy how fast people grow up, I will always consider her to be my baby cousin so it was an honor to be able to photograph her baby. Lydia was a great model and slept so peacefully even when we made her take photos with her older cousins.
