The Heart Gallery: my friend Alex

It was an honor to meet and photograph Alex for the Heart Gallery!!!

The Heart Gallery is a striking exhibit of portraits of children in the Massachusetts foster care system in need of permanent families. Most of the children have been waiting for at least one year to find a family to call their own and include school-aged children, sibling groups, children of color of all ages, and children with emotional, intellectual and physical difficulties or disabilities.

The goal of the Heart Gallery is to create awareness about foster care adoption and find families for the hundreds children in state care awaiting adoption. MARE organizes this exhibit, which travels to various venues across the Commonwealth throughout the year. Jordan’s Furniture is proud to host permanent Heart Gallery displays in all their stores. We are grateful to Jordan’s for their commitment to help find permanent families for children in foster care.

Eric and Carrie~Married

Hummm maybe I should just give Eric and Carrie their very own BLOG!! I cannot stop posting images from their wedding!! It was HOT last weekend but this Manchester-By-The Sea wedding was HOT HOT HOT!!! Guests were greeted with a gorgeous ocean breeze, hand picked flowers, hand blown vases and later on in the evening a full moon!!! Eric and Carrie’s family and friends traveled from all over including South Carolina and England!! Eric is a true gentleman and Carrie is the type of girl you want to have as your best friend. An ocean front wedding was fitting for this couple as cupid worked his magic on them while they were working together in the Caribbean (in a glass blowing studio!!!) My favorite ingredient of Eric and Carrie’s wedding was the location…I don’t mean the stunning property overlooking the ocean I mean their home….their “life” together offered a unique and personal touch to their wedding celebration!! Special thanks to all the little ones at the wedding… you guys were amazing!!!

WONDER TWIN POWER SESSION

Twin Twins!! Today was perfect for my backyard portrait session. The session took me to some pretty crazy locations: The front yard then the back yard then to the front yard again. Don’t let the funny faces fool you because you are really looking at images of a future Broadway actress, elementary school teacher and two professional soccer players!! Special thanks to Titan (a very big four legged drool machine) who watched all the action from inside the house!!!

She stole my heart: Alyssa's mom

Chuck and Alyssa were married this past June. It was an amazing affair with 2 tea ceremonies, 3 gowns and plenty of friends and family!! Alyssa's mother was ill but you never would of guessed it as she was cooking, decorating, laughing and dancing the night away. Her husband, children and grandchildren adored her…and she stole my heart too!! Mrs. Throng passed away last week after a battle with cancer. We offer our condolences to Alyssa and Chuck's family and we are grateful that we had a chance to meet this wonderful lady!!

Mike and Lynn: Married 8.11.07!!!

Mike and Lynn were married yesterday at Elm Bank in Wellesley, MA. Mike is from Paris and their celebration was a bilingual affair. The ceremony was in both French and English as were the menus and invites!! Family and friends traveled from all over the world to celebrate their big day. Mike has a twin brother Patrick and lets just say that they must have espresso running through their veins!!! Patrick spent most of the celebration running around draped in a French flag…hysterical. The rain stopped and the sun came out just after Mike and Lynn exchanged their vows. Gorgeous, sweet amazing couple, out of this world bridal party, stunning flowers...The list could go on and on! Special thanks to the parking valet at the Omni Parker Hotel who got my car for me in record time. Mike and Lynn have an amazing honeymoon in St. Lucia!!! I almost forgot...Mike surprised Lynn with a wedding band that would make you do a double take. She had no idea!!

Studio on Location: Newport, R.I. and Biddeford Pool, M.E.

Jared and Jen: Engagement/Puzzled

THE PUZZLE STORY: Jared made Jen a proposal puzzle and then mailed her a different piece of the puzzle each day. Finally the day came when Jen only needed one piece to complete the puzzle. Jared got down on one knee with the last puzzle piece in his hand and asked Jen if she would marry him!!! The puzzle piece was a photograph of an engagement ring with a real ring to accompany it of course!!
Here is the rundown of my Sunday morning with Jen and Jared. Where to start…hummm.. I LOVE them! Jen is beautiful, sweet and creative. Jared is funny, genuine but most importantly he is a 50%teddy bear and 50% grizzly bear!! They truly are perfect together. Jen has the most amazing blue eyes...not just blue but crystal sky blue! Jen and Jared are planning a May 2008 wedding celebration at the magical Searles Castle in N.H.
