I'd have to say it was a success... thank you to Kirsty, the puffs for bribery, Kelsey's Cupcakes & my friend Resa for helping construct the mini balloon wall ;)

Jase &Hunter : 1st Birthday
These two handsome boys are turning 1 and boy do they have class ;) I just love their fedoras and ties! I met Jase & Hunter back in February during Valentines day mini's along with their big sis. Their mom warned me that capturing a smile at the same time is always a challenge & boy way she right! Thanks to mom and all of her amazing voices/noises we got these two cheesing at the same time! Mission accomplished!! I wish you all could hear their giggles because it would instantly brighten your day.

Miss Lainey: Birth story
March 17th, 2014 {St Patrick's Day for all of you green beer lovers ;)} the world received a little lucky charm, and her name is Lainey! I was so honored to be apart of this experience. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever photograph a live birth... it was beautiful and awesome (awesome because I didn't pass out- I told Kaylan I could not promise I would make it through the whole thing- luckily I did!).
I met with Kaylan a few weeks before Lainey's arrival and she explained to me how all of her family lived in California and could not make it out to VA for the birth. Kaylan wanted to photograph the delivery to make a surprise album for her mother for mothers day... but really who could wait that long to keep these pictures a secret? That secret was shared shortly with her mother a couple days after Lainey's arrival and now I have permission to share this amazing experience with you all.
It broke my heart to think that Kaylan's mom could not be there for the birth of her granddaughter. With that being said, I knew I had to give this a shot. I mean who knows if I would ever get the chance to capture a moment like this again?
I received a text message at 4:30 am that morning reporting that they were moving to the triage (I must have been dreaming good because I did not hear anything go off and I snoozed until 6:30 am). When I woke up to that text I freaked out! Brushed my teeth, threw my hair up, grabbed a snack & popped on whatever article of clothing I could get my hands on and then some (due to the call for snow... again) then set off to the SPAH. I, being such a rookie at this baby thing, had no idea that there was plenty of time between 3cm-10cm especially with baby #1. I arrived at 7am and Kaylan ended up being at 9cm (we thought man this is going fast!). We were all convinced this baby was going to make her appearance before 11. Then we waited and waited... Finally it was go time and at 1:15 pm that sweet gal entered the world weighing 9lbs 3oz. Perfect time for dad to get his green beer!
Thankfully Kaylan was a rockstar during the birth of her first child and did not scar me from wanting to have children one day (Thank you Kaylan!). Steven didn't do to bad himself!
Yesterday I revisited this new family of 3 to snap Lainey's newborn photos and with no surprise she owned it. One of the best baby models around... I cannot wait to share those with you all in a couple weeks ;)
Enjoy my first ever Birth session...

Hutch & Morgan :Engagement
I got together with these 3 last weekend at the Back Bay wildlife refuge... It was one of those freezing cold days (then the next was 70 degrees). We actually made it through our shoot without frost bite... just some little pink cheeks. Hutch & Morgan plan on having a June wedding... hopefully it is much warmer for them that day ;) By the way check out morgans amazing ring! The sapphire under the middle stone is so beautiful!! Good job Hutch!

Lucas 2 yr Birthday shoot :Portrait
I absolutely love it when I can get together with previously families and document their little one as he/she grows. As for Lucas I met him when he was just 6 months old and we shoved him into a galvanized bucket which was one of the cutest things I have ever seen!! Now he is rolling around with his john deere tractor and carhartt overalls and work boots, chasing bubbles, trying to start up his tractor with daddy's truck keys. He is such a little cutie with his big blue eyes!
