When Brianna's Mom Lory got in touch with us to have Anthony capture her daughter Brianna's 21st Birthday Cruise, I knew right away it was going to be an amazing evening...and she did not disappoint! The party was held on The Majestic Cruise ship from Boston Harbor Cruises, which was the perfect size for their gathering.
When Michelle and Salvatore contacted us to capture their wedding at The Merrimack Valley Golf Course in Methuen we were thrilled! As much as we love traveling all over New England, our favorite wedding venue is still in our hometown of Methuen.
While we were doing our Garden Minis at The Stevens-Coolidge Estate, we enlisted the help of my Mom to come and babysit our little man while we were doing other families sessions. Since we were all going to be there, we knew this was the perfect opportunity to do some of our pictures! As photographers, we spend so much time behind the camera we rarely get to be in a photo with all three of us unless its a quick iPhone snap. We got there early and chased our 1.5 year old son Tripp around the gardens and got some adorable photos of him, and with each of us.
We ventured to Lynch Park in Beverly, MA for The Oswald Family photo session last week and immediately fell in love with the location! On a beautiful Sunday evening, the park was filled with families having picnics and listening to live music. The flower filled gardens and ocean provided the perfect backdrop for their family photos.
Callen has been a patient at Boston Children's Hopsital where he has received the most amazing care. Callen's Mom and Dad, Jenna and Steve, reached out to us to come to the hospital to shoot their family photos at the hospital and in the garden. Upon arriving, we were let in on the most exciting secret: CALLEN WAS GOING HOME THE NEXT DAY! After 5 long months in the hospital, he was finally going home to spend his first night under the same roof as his family.
We recently had a photo session with some of our closest friends, The Amiss Family {Dana, Leigha, and their sons Jackson and Frankie}. Anthony and Dana have been friends since high school, and we have had the pleasure of capturing their family photos several times throughout the years with their son Jackson. At out last photo session, Jackson revealed to us that he was going to be a big brother! We couldn't have been more thrilled for their growing family,
To celebrate Jackie's 70th Birthday her kids planned a surprise family photo shoot! Lucky for her, they gave her just enough notice so that they could coordinate their outfits. Her daughter Kim's family home was the perfect spot to capture their family photos. Fortunately, her pool was ready for everyone to jump in after the shoot on such a hot day. They were such a sweet and loving family and I'm sure this will be a birthday gift Jackie will always treasure!
We have some exciting news!!! We are holding Garden Mini Sessions at Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover. The Garden Mini Sessions can be used for a Family, Engagement, Maternity or Anniversary shoot! The Estate features a beautiful old home, rows and rows of gardens with fresh flowers, pristine lawns, and a frog pond.
What better way to kick off the summer than a perfect day in Ogunquit, Maine celebrating Star and Valerie's wedding! Rather than following a schedule, they let the day play out naturally, which was a great change of pace for us. Valerie was calm as could be as she was getting ready, while Star had such sweet nerves as she awaited seeing her future wife in her beautiful dress for the first time.
We were lucky enough to spend a perfect Spring evening with these two adorable sisters at the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover. This historic home is surrounded by pristinely kept lawns, old brick walls covered in ivy, and gardens in bloom with surprises around every corner. Before the session, we walked around and snapped some pics of the beautiful home. Once Lila and Kaylee arrived, we made our way through the gardens.
Having only spoken to Michelle on the phone, we couldn't wait to meet them for their engagement session since their wedding is in just 2 months! We immediately connected through our chat as Michelle is also a small business owner at Baby Bump Bundle that specializes in adorable care packages for Mommas to be and new Moms. Michelle and Sal met in the North End of Boston where she used to live, so it was the perfect backdrop for their engagement shoot.
When Megan contacted us about capturing her wedding we were thrilled! I have known her since our days at CCHS together. When discussing the location of her engagement session she loved the idea of Smolak Farms as it was one of her and Michael's first dates. It was gorgeous there with all the blooming apple trees {who knew apple trees were so pretty when they didn't have apples}, and we had such a great morning wandering the farm with them.
We have had the pleasure of knowing the Traverso family for a while now. Anthony moved in a few houses down from them when he was just 5 years old, so we were honored when Jen and her fiancé, Jonnie contacted us to shoot her son Mason's Christening. The adorable Mason was Baptized at St. Pat's in Lawrence surrounded by friends and family. Jen's sister Stephanie and Jonnie's close friend Chris were Mason's Godparents.
To kick off 2015 we had a contest to win an engagement session, and out of the 30 or so engaged couples who entered or were nominated by loved ones Jen and Shane were the big winners! When planning their engagement session they knew that the perfect place to have them done would be where they had met when going to school together at Stonehill College.
When our son Anthony III was born {who we now call Tripp} our world changed into such an amazing new experience. We are so lucky to say that he is such an easy going, happy and fun baby. Even though we do not typically do newborn photos we decided to jump in and do our sons newborn photos and we love the way they turned out.
