Award Winning Photo…

I was going through my files and remembering all that has happened this past year and realized I forgot to write about this. There was a Rhode Island photography contest that was held back in the middle of the year and it was open to all RI photographers of every level (beginners, amateurs, professional). This is one of my favorite infant portraits and I had titled it “Hanging Around”, as this little girl was just hanging out on her Daddy’s arm. This photo is also very dear to my heart because she happens to be my niece…for my parents, she is the very first girl out of a total of 7 grandkids. =)

This photo placed both “First Place” and “Best of Show”:

Christina's Portrait Session…

So a friend of mine asked me to take some family photos for her a couple of weeks ago. I have to say that I’ve never photographed another photographer before and it definitely felt….different. LOL Not in a bad way, of course. =) We had so much fun!

It was freezing out and even started to snow a little but luckily it stopped. But Christina was awesome to photograph and I’m glad we finally got to hang out a bit (especially since our last playdate with our little ones we couldn’t chat much since the kids were running in opposite directions! LOL). But when the weather is nice (and warmer!), I’d love to photograph her family again so we can spend more time on the session and in exchange, she’s going to photograph my family as well. I cannot wait!

But here are some of my faves from the session:

To My Birthday Boy!

On this day, 2 yrs ago…our second son, Zachary John was born. Of course the little bugger didn’t want to arrive on time, so I was induced but boy, it was great because it was only 1 hr and 39 min of labor so I can’t complain. LOL

I can’t believe how much time has flown! I remember how excited JJ was to be a big brother. How we went to the hospital to “get” a baby. LOL He was the proudest big brother I have ever seen. He still is…unless Zack steals a toy he wants…haha. Zachary is so big now. He says quite a few words, but of course he’s got his momma’s stubborness and only says them when he wants too because if you ask him too, sometimes he’ll get that gleam in his eye and just laugh at you.

If you ask him what color things are he’ll just laugh and just say ‘blue’ to everything. He’s obsessed with doggies, but loves animals of every kind. He would spend all day outdoors riding his favorite scoot & ride radio flyer bike and search for bugs and dig in the dirt. If he sees a puddle from the rain, he’ll splash, sit and lay in it. By the time he’s done, no longer will there be a puddle. LOL

He loves to tell you what sounds animals say. And I bribe him to do it just to see the faces he makes to say them because it makes us laugh. I love asking him to ‘show me those lips’ because he puckers his lips like fishy lips to give you a kiss and gives you eskimo kisses which puts him into fits of giggles, which is contagious! He looks up to his big brother, JJ and wants to do everything he does and I just love watching everything they do together.

It’s so funny because you tell Zachary it’s his birthday today and he throws his arms in the air and in a high pitched voice and says “yay!”. LOL

So, my love….looking back on how much you’ve grown on the past 2 yrs has made me realize that it’s all the little things in life that really count each and every day. Sometimes in our daily lives we get so busy that we truly forget that. Thank you for bringing so much joy and love to our family! We love you very much!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Zachary!

A few days old:

Today, his 2nd birthday:

Haaaaaay! What are you doing?? lol

I thought it would be fun to just go out and buy a big bale of hay for my boys and throw it in the backyard and just let them jump and play in it (and of course, sneak in some pics). Thought I could bribe them into taking one pic of them BOTH smiling at the camera, but nope. LOL Oh well….it was worth a shot. I’ll add some more photos in a couple of days as they are still playing in it. But here are a few of them. They love to set up the toddler slide and jump off the top into the pile. They are too funny….

Erin & Mike's Trash the Dress Session…

What can I say about Erin & Mike? They truly are a wonderful couple. Fun, carefree, patient (wink wink, lol), and were just up for anything and Mike…you were a great sport for taking on that wave for Erin! =) We drove around for a few hours finding a few different spots all around South County for this TTD session and I am so glad we didn’t give up on our search for the Ruins. I think I found a new favorite secluded spot for portraits and I think Erin looks amazing in these! Here are a just a few of my faves from their session:
