Liz + Ken (engaged)

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:18:28 +0000

Liz and Ken are perfect for each other! After meeting around 10 years ago at a bonfire in high school they are now engaged and ready to take the next step in life together. I couldn’t be more happy for this couple. You can just see it in their eyes and smiles how in love they are. They were just such a delight to photograph. I really look forward to capturing their special day for them next year!

Here are some images from our fun shoot on the Cape!

Connor (Senior Portrait)

Most of my senior portraits are girls, so I was excited when Connor’s mom called me about shooting her son’s senior portrait.

Connor has a busy schedule with school starting and his senior year of Soccer, so trying to fit his portrait in before his life got even more crazy was a bit challenging. After a busy day of preseason soccer, Connor raced to shower and make it to his portrait. Although we were racing the sun a bit, I think we were able to get some really great shots! Connor is very natural and fun to work with so he made it easy to get all the shots I was hoping to capture.

To see some images from our shoot check out the images below! Enjoy!

Katherine is such a sweetheart and so much fun to work with. Is she not the cutest thing ever?! I had such a great time working with her. She was natural, upbeat, and totally comfortable with everything I wanted to do. I LOVE doing senior portraits! They are soo much fun!

Matt + Cassie = Married!

I think Cassie and Matt are the cutest couple. Not only are they both beautiful, but they are some of the kindest people I know. After doing their engagement shoot last year, I knew their wedding would be a blast. After dating, I think 10 or 11 years they tied the knot at July 1, 2010 at Lake Pearl, in Wrentham, MA. The day started off with the girls getting ready at the new Rennaisance Hotel at Patiriots Place. It couldn’t have been a better location considering Cassie is and a few of her briedsmaids are former Patriots Cheerleaders! They had a gorgeous spacious room with an amazing view of the stadium. As a Patriot’s fan it was a neat spot. Then from there we headed to Lake Pearl for the rest of the night. The ceremony was held on the patio to the side of the venue (the first couple to try this), with a view of the lake. They couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was dry and cloudy, perfect for guests, myself, and the couple. It was just beautiful. It was a joyous day filled with tears and laughs. I am so happy for the Cassie and Matt and I wish them many years of happiness together.

Melissa + Chris tie the knot

Melissa and Chris got married on 6/26/10 at the Quidnessett Country Club. It was a beautiful ceremony on a sunny spring day! Although we weren’t able to venture far on the property, because of golfers, we made the most of our shady spot on the course haha.

Chris’ father, Andy Howard, but I know him as Professor Howard, was my photography Professor at Wheaton College. As an award winning photographer himself, I felt honored that he hired me to shoot his son’s wedding. Not only did he teach me all the basics to creating an interesting composition, but he nurtured my talent and helped me grow as an artist. I felt excited and anxious to take on this wedding. I wanted to make him proud. Once the images were done and I sent the sneak peek slideshow to the family, and then later the rest of the images, I was overwhelmed with the praise and kind words from my former professor. I felt proud and elated. Not only was he so happy with my work, but I brought him tears of joy! I couldn’t have been more happier!

Here are some of the kind words he sent me…

“Can’t wait to see the rest! Beautiful!!!!!!! I cried!!!!”

“I just watched it again…..for the tenth time….YOU ARE GOOD!!!!!!!”

“I love you Katie!!!!! You made me cry AGAIN!!! You did a fantastic job. I am so, so proud of you! A beautiful set of photographs. You are so talented. Can’t say enough positive about your work. Thank you for making this day so special. Just wanted you to know..”

Here are a handful of images from Chris and Melissa’s wedding. To also see the sneak peek slideshow, please click on the link below. Enjoy!

Chantel (Senior Portrait)

I love senior portraits. I think it is so fun to work with my clients to really show off their personalities. I want them to feel comfortable and to be able to be completely natural. When I can get them to do this, I feel they can tuely show off their inner/outter beauty.

Here is a handful of shots from Chantel’s shoot. I think she looks like a little Mariah Carey. So adorable.

Enjoy!

Yos + Justin (engagement session)

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:16:56 +0000

Just a month away from their wedding day, Yos and Justin are getting very excited. With their lives being so busy and living in NC, it was tough to find a time when we were all here to do a portrait. But, we figured it out. I am glad we chose the weekend we did, because we had good weather, and we got some really great shots! Such a natural and sweet couple, I look forward to shooting their wedding at the beginning of September.

baby colin (2 weeks old)

Want something to make you smile? Little Colin is sure to do it. Cheri my AMAZING hair dresser is the proud mother of this little man. Going on bed-rest at around 6 months or so, Cheri had a tough pregnancy. And 5 weeks prior to her due date her placenta bursted, and she rushed in for an emergency C-Section. Luckily everything turned out just fine. Very small, weighing only 5 pounds at birth, Colin is very strong and slowly gaining weight. A couple weeks ago only 2 weeks old, Cheri called me to do a portrait of him. I was very excited and couldn’t wait to meet the little man.

So precious, and sooo tiny it was fun photographing him. Although he fought falling asleep, we were still able to capture some really cute shots of him as he took his little power naps. Well, take a look, here are a handful of shots from his session. I hope his little precious face can brighten your day!

Jennifer + Jason are tying the knot in 2011!!

I had such a great time shooting Jenn and Jay’s engagement portrait. Although their wedding isn’t till June 2011 we did their engagement portrait this summer so I could design them some really cute “save-the-dates”. I think we got some really cute shots so I am sure their save-the-date will be one that you keep on the fridge for awhile! We did the shoot on a beautiful afternoon in Boston. We walked along the Charles River and then a as we made our way back, we found some really cute little places on the streets.

Anyways, I am so excited for Jenn and Jay’s wedding next year! I am sure it is going to be a blast!
