Meet The Powers Family!

Welcome back!  Happy Friday!  Happy Memorial Day weekend!  Remember, it’s not just about the cookouts and the unofficial start of summer, it’s also about those who we have lost fighting for our country!
Meet the Powers Family!  A super sweet and HIGHLY energetic family!  They even introduced me to a new place, Paradise Valley Park in Middletown, RI.  What a nice little park!  With a windmill and some open fields it made the perfect spot for a New England photos shoot!  That being said… enjoy!

Personal Post… My “Baby” is Two!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  (or Cinco de Drinko as a past me used to call it…)  Now it comes in a different form as my day yesterday was filled with sweets and activities for my daughter’s birthday!  Yes my daughter was born on Star Wars day, something she will always be reminded of.  I like to joke that Sami stresses out over Star Wars day, but that’s just because he has to choose just ONE Star Wars shirt to wear ALL day…  this can be a painstaking decision.  Anyways – I’d love to share a few shots of my brand new two year old.  Cake smashes are for one year olds (even though in all honestly I think a two year old would have way more fun) and I have an idea for three, but nothing for two.  Did a lil internet research and came up with a balloon/party themed shoot.  Pair this with a cute tutu (upcycled from Halloween), new bright red chucks, and a cute peace sign onsie (aka two! – thanks hubby for the great idea) for a super fun shoot!  I had originally thought maybe some confetti, then my sanity rang the bell and I decided I was okay with not cleaning up hundreds of tiny little pieces of paper.  The shoot did take some time to set up.  People keep asking how… well – blew up the balloons and taped them to the wall in an every other pattern so that they sort of nestled into each other.  I tied some fishing line up and hung some ribbon from it to give the ribbons a 3D effect.  It was def a challenge to get a 23 month old to sit and smile AND look at the camera.  Bribery came over to play for the first time and that helped tremendously!  Then the hubby came home and helped get just a few more smiles!   One question I do have is… who the heck taught my kid to duck face?!  : P
Enjoy!

The O Family is Growing!

Sit down for this… two blog posts in consecutive days!  What?!  Yes I’m serious!
This is a super special post as K, momma to be, is a co-worker of mine and big sister G is a friend of my own daughter!  I was so happy when she asked me to do her shoot!  Being the champion Pinner that she is I KNEW there were def be a few special shots, and though they didn’t all “work” we did get some fabulous shots of this awesome family!  We started out at Island Grove Park in Abington on, oh gee, maybe one of the coldest days this year???  LOL  Don’t get me wrong, the snow is beautiful, but it was a wee bit chil- ARCTIC.  But we persevered (big kudo’s to G here for holding it together so well!) and got some super fun shots!   After Island Grove we headed back to home base for a few more shots and I think they came out spectacularly!  Buuuut I won’t hold you up any longer… see for yourself!
Enjoy!

The T Family is growing!

Welcome back!  It’s been a little while but ’tis the season!
Meet the Taiwo family.  Super sweet, extremely photogenic, and very excited to be welcoming a baby girl this spring!
We planned this shoot and hoped and prayed for there to be snow on the ground.  Well, we must have done  a good job, because not only was there snow ON the ground there was also snow in the air!  Fabulous!  Nothing spells amazing light quite like snow everywhere!  It started to fall pretty heavy towards the end but it was so fun to shoot in!  I’m super excited to share these with you!  And be sure to “Like” Holly Haddad Photography on Facebook to see teasers and previews before they are posted here!  Quite a few maternity shoots in production!
Enjoy!

Hello K Family!

Meet the K Family!
This is my first time photographing (as my husband says shooting people is bad) this beautiful family!  I had met them through the awesome F Family and was super psyched when they contacted me for a family session!  I was even more excited when I learned that I could shoot them right after the A Family at the same location!  ESPECIALLY after I arrived and fell in love with Weir River Farm!
So without further adieu… Enjoy!

The F Family!

Hi again!  Should I spoil it and tell you there will prob be one more post today?  LOL  Catching up feels great!
Welcome back F Family!  Another family reaching their third year of Holly Haddad Photography!  I LOVE IT!  I’d be nothing without my amazing clients!
This beautiful family was shot in Easton at Sheep’s Pasture!  Another awesome location for photos.  These two lil munchkins always, SUPER cute!  It’s so fun to watch kids grow and add in new siblings… and grow some more!  I’m going to throw in a few “throwback” shots of older sister C… not sure if mom planned it, but the similarities are uncanny!
Enjoy!

Welcome Back A Family!

What day is it?!
HA – kidding… overkill.
LOL
Welcome back!  I’m glad you stopped in to enjoy a few photos of a family in it’s third year of photography with HHP!  These guys love the beach and we’ve done that for a few years, but this year we had to wait a bit longer and we decided on non-beach.  I requested a site, they said Weir River Farm, I arrive and said wooooah.  I started at the wrong end of it and met a few chickens, a giant hog, a few sheep and a goat and two sweet dogs!  Then I was summoned to the other entrance thinking, well, gee, I hope it’s as nice…  and as I drove up the hill it kept getting nicer and nicer and Hello Boston!  Wow what a view!  I’m so glad the A Family suggested it!  Thank you for showing me something new and awesome!  So I’ll stop blabbering now and get on with the show!
Enjoy!

Fall Mini-sessions!

WooOOooOooOo!
(that was my best ghost impression… how’d I do?)
Hi!  Happy Halloween!
Welcome to HHP‘s first ever Autumn Mini-Sessions!  Wow – why didn’t I do this in the past!  The feedback so far has been phenomenal!  I’m so happy!  This is def something I might have to continue… maybe even bi-annually!  We had a gorgeous day that started out bright and early at 830!  Marisa helped me keep the wheels rolling, everyone was on time, and happy!  Thanks time a million billion to everyone who attended!  I would be nothing without the awesome clients who ask me to capture their families!  Especially to those where this is the second, third, or even fourth year of having me photograph yourself and your adorable munchkins!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  <3<3<3
Without further adieu… enjoy these teasers of some amazing families!
