Samantha Turns One!

Hi!  Welcome back!  Loving the Olympics!  What great background to edit to!
I know I’ve been a bit behind with posting portrait sessions… so right now I’m starting to dig myself out.  Here is Samantha, one year from her fire fighter shot from last year!  And boy is she cute!  Love her lil teeth!  LOL  Our shoot was a true family affair as grandma and grandpa and auntie were all present to capture this lil sweetie!  So awesome!  I love it when families come “hang out” and help get the star to smile!
Enjoy this lil cutie!

Congrats Lee & Kevin!

Welcome back!
Hope you are having an awesome summer!  I am loving this weather!  Though I haven’t gotten to enjoy it nearly enough!  LOL
Anyhow… a big welcome back to the blog for Lee and Kevin!  You may remember Lee and Kevin’s super fun Providence shoot with lil pup Clay?  How cute were they?!  If you thought they were cute then, you will agree with me that they were STUNNING on their wedding day!  And what a day it was!  A big, huge thanks to Angela Greenlaw Photography for being my fabulous second… primary when I had to scoot out early!  My dear husband chose the Forth of July to have his appendix act up, and rupture so this photog had to bounce out a bit early!  No worries for Lee, Kevin or myself as Angela is a fantastic photog herself!  So big thanks to her for making sure all of Lee and Kevin’s fun moments were captured with excellent style!
Lee and Kevin’s wedding took place at the ever beautiful Ocean Cliff in Newport, RI.  Thankfully we did formals beforehand and had lots of time to relax and really capture the beauty of Lee and Kevin both through formals and their touching ceremony.  There are big smiles on everyone’s faces throughout this awesome wedding.  Ocean Cliff had an amazing sunset and I loved the Game of Throne’s table names!
Thanks so much to Lee and Kevin for having me to photograph your big day… and best of luck!

Enjoy!

Congrats Helena & Bryan!

Welcome back!
It’s been a hectic week!  But I finally finished with Helena & Bryan’s wedding!  What a fantastic wedding!  Helena is my cousin (Sami’s side) so I was very excited to do this wedding!  You may remember Helena & Bryan from their chilly, Boston Commons engagement shoot!  I’ll let the photos speak for themselves but let me tell you, it was an amazing day and I’m so glad they asked me to be their photographer!

Congrats Jim & Liz!

Welcome back on this stormy Monday!  I absolutely love thunderstorms… though I can honestly say, Shelby (our Olde English Bulldogge) is the total opposite.  She even snuggled up to Elise for comfort… though I’m not sure how much Elise could actually protect Shelby…  Anyhow…
At the beginning of this month I had the opportunity to photograph Liz and Jim’s Linden Place Wedding.  How beautiful!  This was my first event at Linden Place so early in the summer and the roses were amazing!  What a beautiful evening!  Jim and Liz are so lucky to have a great group of friends and family!  The trio of flower girls was a lil out of control on the cuteness scale.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Enjoy!

Congrats Mark & Sally!

First wedding of the season!  Woo!
Kicking of the 2012 wedding season with a fun filled day uniting Mark and Sally!  And boy was it a hot one!  Crazy getting these hot days in May!   You may remember Mark and Sally from our Colt State engagement session…
We started out at St Louis de France where the beautiful ceremony was held, had a few formal stops, and finished up at Our Lady of Light for a fun reception!
Sally looked amazing and Mark and his boys def had a fun time.
Super excited for this years upcoming weddings!
Enjoy!

A Very Special Welcome to HHP’s own Elise Karima!

It is with great pride I introduce our daughter, Elise Karima.
Wow – it is a crazy thing, this parenthood idea.
As I type this, my awesome husband Sami is on his laptop and we work, content and lighthearted as lil Miss Elise sleeps in her hospital bassinet and every now and then we smile as we hear her quiet, lil squeal as she startles herself awake.
Good stuff.
Obv I can’t sit still and had to get some newborn photos and I couldn’t be more pleased with them!  Elise was born on May 4th at 3:47AM, 20 hours post induction.  She weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long.  Daddy got to give her her first bottle.  Swoon.
We are so excited to go home tomorrow and start our new lives and introduce Shelby to her new BFF.  lol
We couldn’t be more appreciative of the love and support we’ve received from our family and friends and are super excited to introduce her to all of you.
Thanks again, and as always… Enjoy…

Meet the F Family!

Happy Monday!
Seems as if the sun is trying it’s hardest to break through!  Let’s hope so because I am totally missing that beautiful week we had two weeks ago!  These 50 degree highs are NOT cutting it!  Well, if you are stuck inside you may as well check out this beautiful family!  Meet the F Family!  Mom is getting down to the wire for her second bundle of joy… and if baby two is as cute as baby one, we are all in trouble!  Lil Miss Chandler is ADORABLE.  Check out her fashion poses in the Polo sweater… really?!
Anyhow, I’ll stop blabbing and let you see for yourself!
Enjoy!
