John and Kate plus 2 on vacation in MA!

John McGonigle has been the most compassionate, respectful, and personable doctor since our first appointment with him when baby #2, as she was known then, was still floating in the not so room quarters of my uterus. It soon came out that this friendly doctor has a family with two boys who are a little bit older than our two. I then was told that Kate McGonigle had a blog. I was hooked.
The whole family is dynamite! In more ways than one Photographing them at their family beach home …. the beach home John has been going since childhood…
Yeah, that was dynamite too! Look for the action shots at the end. I was tempted to put in Kate’s “action” shot where she showed off some funky dance moves, but resisted because she had bathing-suit-self-conscious-issues. Yeah, I don’t understand why either.

50th anniversary family photography

I was honored to be asked to come and photograph Michaela and her siblings while she is in town visiting. Michaela explained that she was the youngest (and only girl) of four. Her mom parents wanted an updated picture of the “kids”.
When I arrived at Michaela and sibling’s childhood home I was welcomed in to the excitement of Michaela’s parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration! The excitement and energy was contagious and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to capture the relationship not only between grown siblings but also individual families, the Whole Family, grandkids….. so much fun.

…and the two that started it all:

As I was heading out Michaela’s mom asked if we could do some pictures of cake cutting. She explained that they didn’t have a wedding and she’d really like to cut cake. Despite grandchildren protesting that it was before dinner – cake cutting and eating proceeded

I loved meeting all of you and can’t wait for you to see the rest of the pictures!
Michaela – I hope the rest of your trip is relaxing.

Beat the heat ~ Providence Family Photography

The lovely A contacted me to ask if we could arrange to do a family portrait session in their backyard… oh, and they live in Providence.
How much backyard can you have in Providence?
The answer: enough! The backyard is splendid and includes a resident bunny who is attracted to the overflowing vegetable garden. My favorite part might have been the black garage door though. And we fit all this in before the arrival of the heat that descended in full force this weekend!

I tell every family that I can’t wait to have an excuse to hang out with them and get to know them better. This family was another example of why I say that! I enjoyed spending the morning with this family from the slightly shy-momma lovin’ V to the kid snuggling-spider inspecting Dad!

Happy Fourth ’10

A day with family missing our brother who is off at bootcamp and making sure to eat an extra watermelon slice just for him! Hope your July Fourth is also fun and family filled!

These two have grown so much since last year! I really try and resist posting pictures of these two (despite the temptation!) but the cute factor combined with the opportunity to see how much they’ve changed (and how much they haven’t changed) was too much. Once a year it’s okay to succumb to the temptation…. at least that’s what I’m telling myself

Saturday Morning Family Photography

I have found that relaxed no-rush photography sessions lead to some great times and often a budding friendship. I was so excited to learn that Sam and Mark won a Brown Eyed Photography portrait session at the East Side Nursery School silent auction at the end of March. I’ve seen Sam and Mark in passing several times but never at a time conducive to chit-chat. I knew their session would provide that… and I was not let down! Sam and Mark are authentic in their interactions and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know them better.

Oh, and did I mention that their family includes three delicious daughters?!?

and after a brief stop to the equally delicious Three Sisters (ice cream, of course!):

Sam and Mark – I enjoyed every moment getting to know your family a little better. I’ll be on the look out for another excuse to hang out with you all soon!

Frankie: 9months in Providence, RI

sarah — Fri, 07 May 2010 00:19:50 +0000

Really, really?!? He’s NINE months old! That means as much time in the womb as out! And yes… he got even cuter.

woo- and laid back! His mom would plop him anywhere and he’d chill, smile for me, and wait patiently as his mom and I talked. (psst- I love hanging out with people and chatting about life)

You’re growing and changing so much in this first year Frankie! I’m so excited to see how similar and different you look to your newborn, 3 month, and 6 month self! Keep up the growing and learning and we’ll capture all your progress in another 3 months – when you are a year!!!

Triplet boys are growing!

One very awesome momma asked me to come back and hang out with these three 1-year-olds. They’ve grown so much since their six month session!

Don’t worry, it wasn’t all fun and games. The boy’s momma said she wanted the above outfits, their dad wanted a different outfit but by the time we were in dad’s preferred outfit….

We spent a while after the boys were tucked in to their high chairs (yes, three of them lined up in the kitchen) with a snack discussing pros and cons of being a first time mom of three and the drawbacks to only having two arms

I loved having an excuse to see these three again and their mom!

Kristen and Leo

After a full day of KangaMamas babywearing models I squeezed in a couple minutes with Kristen, KangaMamas leader, and soon-to-be-mom-of-two!

And the soon-to-be-big-brother Leo hammed it up for me too!
