The Munro Family - Welcome Baby Luke!

This is another fabulous 'Snap! Baby'. We photographed Aimee and Kevin's wedding a while back and had the pleasure of photographing their first son at this time last year. This week we had the pleasure again of photographing the latest addition to the family. Aimee and Kevin have been busy! How cute is this little guy?! He was a perfect subject, very agreeable and a good poser. I wish we had a ruler next to him, he is so little and precious! Here he is perched on a standard size pillow...



Here is brother Will taking a peek at his new brother.
I'm sure once Luke starts grabbing his toys he won't be so delighted.


Santa's early delivery...


The Karate kid.



The boys.



Is this kid cute or what! He liked Mariah...


Checking out the competition.


This is such a happy child, he woke up from his nap when we got there and was ready for action!


He had this awesome little car to ride around on, I want one!


We think that the baby looks like Dad.


He only opened his eyes for a few seconds, he was thinking "hey mom, hey Dad, I'm so sleepy, bye."


So tiny!!!


Look at the little bean, he's so cute!


So sweet.


Aimee looks great!
Congratulations! Thanks for having us to document the occasion, maybe we will see you in the summer for some outside photos with the boys running around. Or maybe next year for another new baby portrait? No pressure. It's just that you make some really cute and sweet babies!

Who doesn't like cake?!

This is THE most fabulous cake that I have ever seen! Unfortunately I did not take this photo, which I am totally bummed about! I would have loved to see this in person. But I found it on one of my favorite blogs and thought it would be fun to share it, http://www.cakewrecks.com/ You must put this site on your favorites list and check it out every now and again, especially when you need a little laugh. They have new and hilarious cakes all the time.
I love how she is looking at her cake and seems to be kind of mad, like it's not exactly what she ordered or something. In her defense, the gloves are ALL wrong.
Here is the link to the entry with this photo, too funny!

As some of you might know, I am a former cake expert. So I know a fabulous cake when I see one. PS. Any one of our clients who commision a life-size replica of themselves in cake for their wedding next year gets a free wall portrait! -Trish

Kathleen and Nick's Photodate with Mariah in Boston 11.28.08

Kathleen and Nick came to see me about their wedding a few weeks ago... I liked them right away and was so happy when they decided to include me in their plans. K & N are two busy and hard working people. Kathleen is in event planning so she is organized and efficient! When they came to visit me she told me she wanted to do their engagement photos right away so they could use them for holiday cards... no problem, I said... and here we are the day after Thanksgiving on our date!
P.S. It's a good thing I am not in these photos because I have completely over indulged in pie!


We met at Boston Common, Kathleen really liked the idea of the Frog Pond. I am sad to say that I didn't even know this existed! It's a super cute skating rink right in the middle of the common. We didn't do any skating (which Nick is really relieved about) but Kathleen did bring her skates which made for a nice wintery prop.





Ear muffs too!.. I think this scene is very "Charlie Brown Christmas."




Nick prefers the warmer activities like snuggling to skating...
Kathleen doesn't seem to mind the snuggling either...
Just in case you forgot where we are... this cart had a tshirt that said "Wicked Pissa" which I wanted to buy and then forgot to go back and get.

Next we headed over to North end... Kathleen really knows how to get around the city because she used to live near the Common... we actually ended up right near the Old North Church, where Melissa and I photographed Nicole and Brian's wedding last month. The funny thing is, I really wanted to get back to this particular street because when I was there in October I thought it was really cool- but didn't have much of a chance to look around...

I thought this alley was interesting...

Did I mention it was sprinkling the whole time we were shooting? K & N are troopers, and Kathleen had the right accessories!





This is my favorite shot of the day. Kathleen and Nick had their first date at this little restaurant. So romantic!





There was a really good smell wafting down the sidewalk toward us... turns out it was from this bakery. I don't know what these things are, but aren't the gorgeous?

The lady behind the counter looks less than thrilled about me and my camera.


Remember that show "Mad about You"? Maybe I am dating myself- anyway it was on in the Early 90's. At the beginning of the show they had all these cool Black and White photos of the two characters, Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. The photos were of them doing ordinary things around NY, this photo reminds me of that...


Nick looks pretty happy to have scored these treats...



And then he treated me to a hot chocolate- how's that for a fun afternoon?





Thanks Guys! That was so fun, I'm really looking forward to the big day!

Angela and Gregg took the plunge! Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

So when we arrived and saw this dock, we had an idea. To our delight Angela and Gregg were totally down with it! We met the day after the wedding for this 'secret' photo session. Mostly it was a secret from her Mom(who bought the dress) but I think that even she will agree that these photos are worth sacrificing the dress for!









There I am over on the right in the water up to my chest waiting for the action to start. Mariah got the shot from the back as they ran down the dock.





Here's the ramp up...




OK, so here it is! What I know Angela and Gregg have been dying to see! Scroll quickly to get the full effect...



















Here's Gregg pulling his mermaid out of the water...




Here I am wading in for my 'money shot' and there's Mariah waving after the last shot of the week :(




One last smooch.



Well, it was the best time ever and I sure am sad that it's over. I hope that everyone has enjoyed all of the wedding photos over the last two weeks. If you want to see the rest be sure to sign up on Pictage to get an email when they are ready.

Thanks for a fantastic destination wedding and overall good time!

-Trish and Mariah
