Bailey and Jason were married on December 10, 2017 at the beautiful Alvirne Chapel in Hudson NH.  We had a small snow storm the day before the wedding, which provided some beautiful back drops for this wintery wedding.  There was even some winds that came and went, which gave us some snow drifts making it look like it was snowing during the photos. Pretty chilly at times, but this bride and groom were very calm and cool about the weather and everything else, that the went by seamlessly.

Bailey and Jason's 6 month old daughter was the adorable flower girl, while Jason's son was the ring bearer.  Unfortunately he fell asleep on the ride to the church, and had to be escorted down the aisle by his aunt, who served as Bailey's matron of honor.  
The ceremony was simple and elegant, and then Bailey and Jason were greeted by all that attended the service. 

The reception was decorated in rustic, woodland theme, which complimented the naked wedding cake they chose.  Simply beautiful!  Bailey and Jason, along with her Aunt, Uncle, Grandmother and cousins spent countless hours preparing all of the decorations and they truly did a great job.

The father/daughter dance left noon with a dry eye.  The mother/son dance was just as sweet while Bailey and her mother and sister looked on with tears in their eyes. 

Bailey and Jason, you had a beautiful day to celebrate the joining of your two families.  I wish you a lifetime of love and when times get tough I hope you look back on this day and remember those vows you took and the amount of love you share on this day.

Congratulations!

I am so very blessed to be able to introduce you to this beautiful little angel, Leial Rae.  Leila is the first daughter to my dear friends, Jen and Renee, and she is truly a little miracle. At less than 2 weeks old, Leila already knew she did not want to be a model, she just wanted to sit in her momma's arms and take in every moment.  She listened intently to everything we said, drank her bottles and snuggled.   Leila has completed this little family, and brought so much joy to their extended families near and far.

My heart is full of love for this family.  

 

I consider myself very lucky to know this family.  Rachel and Ray are funny, loving and the most wonderful parents to Raia.  Raia is such an amazing little girl, and I have been able to watch her grow since birth.  She was a little tiny peanut when I first met her, and now to see her as a comical, talkative, compassionate, loving 3 year old is just precious.
We had one of those photo shoots that most people dream of .. the perfect smiles from a 3 year old,  the relaxed atmosphere of hanging out with friends and beautiful photos to capture that special moment.
Just days before these photos were taken, Rachel finished her long journey to becoming a nurse, and I could not be any prouder of her.  She has worked long days and nights to go to school and still be a mom.  She has a wonderful support system with Ray by her side.  I am looking forward to watching her complete her dream and continue on her journey to help others.  Congratulations, Rachel!  

Rachel, Ray and Raia, I wish you a magical holiday season filled with love, and lots of presents :)

It was a phone call I almost didn't take that led me to a booking with Whitney and her family.   Whitney lives in Georgia and was coming home for a day and a half and wanted to get a family pictures done. Actually she wanted to recreate a photo that her dad and his brothers did when they were little.  And we did just that!  The photo was so much fun to recreate, and it really set the mood for the rest of the photos.  Its so nice to see such a close family even though they do not see each other often.

I have been very fortunate to have known the Donnelly's for over 3 years now.  I met Kyleigh when she was just an itty bitty baby.  She is vibrant, independent and so very loving. Her smile can light up a room, and her laugh is contagious.  Kerry and Charlie have been great friends of mine, and to know them is to love them.  They each have such compassion for people and giving back to their community.  
I just love this family to pieces.
