9|52 Oh, The Drama

March 3, 2010

This week’s image is a little proof that our daughter is quite the drama queen. She’s not the easiest baby, or the most laid back, by ANY means. Good thing she’s too cute for words. ;-)

We were outside yesterday enjoying the warm-ish temps (I think it was in the 40s–so TOTALLY going outside weather!), and Lila realized that she didn’t know what a lot of things were out there. She’s starting to remember what things are, and be interested in exploring and learning, so now–everything scares her. Twigs, pine needles, wood chips–you name it, she’ll cry if you ask her to hold it. It will just take some getting used to, I’m sure she’ll be running down the front walk in no time.

And just for further proof of her dramatic ways, no less than 30 seconds later, here is the next shot I snapped:12 month old Lila playing with a cell phone, taken by MA photographer Megan MooreTotally fine, and playing with my phone. She certainly knows my weaknesses!

This week’s photo cracked me up the minute I snapped it. I had to act quickly, as she is FAST, but I was able to capture this image of Lila on her plastic play phone. She loves holding it up to her ear anytime I say “hello!” to her. I have a feeling this image is very telling of days to come…

I can’t believe she’ll be one next weekend. SIGH.

We were away last weekend, visiting family in VA.

Oh, yes, you read that right. We flew into the biggest storm the DC/VA/MD area HAS EVER SEEN.

We were staying in Northern VA with my husband’s mother & step-father, and they got 28″ of snow over the weekend. Over TWO FEET. We weren’t sure we would make it out in time for our flight home–I’m still not quite sure how we did it. They live up on a hill on a quiet country road, and it took 2 tractors, a lot of shoveling, and some finger crossing, but we made it to our flight home, with a whole 13 minutes to spare.

This week’s photo immediately jumped out at me when I took it. In this photo, Lila and her grandpa are listening to music on his phone. It was such a sweet thing to watch them together.

I also HAVE to post one additional image. I would have used this for the project, but it was technically taken last week, on Friday, when we first got to VA. This is Lila with her great-grandmother, and they’re playing peekaboo. I can’t get over how much I love this photo.

That’s about all for now! I have a couple of shoots coming up this week, I’m so excited. I took a bit of a break during and after the holidays, and can’t wait to start up again. So you will be seeing some new work shortly!

February 9, 2010

I know, I didn’t post last week! It was a crazy week, and we were away for a few days with no internet (I know, can you imagine??). But I’m back now, and need to post last week’s image!

I didn’t shoot much last week, because I was busy preparing for our trip. So this is a quick shot I grabbed of my daughter while we were playing one day. Her head is definitely distorted from the lens (for you non-photogs, she was super close to the lens, so I zoomed way out to fit her in the frame–she’s not normally bobble-headed!), but I still love the way she’s looking at me.

I will have this week’s post up within the next day or two also, because I already have some great images to choose from, taken while we were away this weekend.

I’d say Happy Monday, but you may throw things at me. :) Instead, I’ll just keep this short, and post!

When I first started doing this project, I wasn’t sure how personal I would end up making it. I didn’t know how much of me I wanted “out there”. But I’m finding as I shoot every week, I NEED this to be personal. I shoot from the heart. I love capturing moments, emotions, those little pieces of time that are gone before you even realize they were there.

This week’s photo is one of my all-time favorites. It is not technically perfect, in any way–in fact, it’s quite imperfect. But the story it tells, is perfect.

This is an image of my daughter, with my parents. She’s turning one next month. She had a rough start in this world, and to see her, playing with her grandparents almost a year later brings me such joy. She’s never been what people call an “easy baby”. But she is coming into her own these days, and couldn’t be more amazing.

(My mom will probably kill me for posting a photo of her in her slippers, haha!)

We are still sick over here, so this will be short and sweet. She’s getting better, slowly but surely.

This photo was taken of Lila doing one of her favorite pastimes–throwing herself on the couch. She loves to stand up and look out the window, and then throw herself on the cushions. Never fear–I’m always sitting on the couch with her, barricading her in. This is a good example of why I love wide angle lenses! And of shooting from the hip. Big fan.

Happy Weekend!!

I know, you’re probably wondering where I’ve been! Easy answer? Swamped.

Longer answer, I’ve been editing, shopping, wrapping, editing, ordering, delivering, shipping, designing, editing, uploading, and decorating. Did I mention editing?

What a craaazy time of year! But I think I am finally caught up on most things. We are ready for Christmas this week (yay!), and I am mostly caught up on sessions. My husband got me a fabulous gift for Christmas this year (yes, I’m a surprise ruiner, I know what it is), I will post it once I get it. :)

In the meantime, I just had to share these images from a recent session. This little guy was born two days after our daughter, and is pretty much the opposite of her–mellow, laid-back, and quiet. He was a dream to photograph! Can you believe those blue eyes? Gorgeous.

I have a killer post on tap for soon–may not be until after the holidays. SO many awesome images to choose from, and will coincide with a little announcement from me–a new business interest for 2010! I get so excited thinking about it, I have a feeling 2010 is going to be a GREAT year.

This family is one of my favorite families in the world. We’ve been friends since before all the girls were born (theirs and ours), and have had so much fun since we moved out near them about 3 years ago. I love watching the girls grow up together, and hope we’ll be living near each other for a long time!

Last time we were over, mom and I took on all 4 girls (I had L with me), and attempted a mini-session for some Christmas cards. I’m not going to show the photos they picked for their cards (but I may be doing a post with a bunch of my clients’ card choices after the holidays, so stay tuned!), but I just HAD to share some of my faves from the day.

Mom had the CUTEST matching red dresses for the girls, which we did first, before everyone got antsy.

We also went outside to play in all the leaves. The girls loved this!

(I had to sneak in the shot below of my daughter in the wagon with little M, they are TOO funny together.)

And just the sweetest moment (this was totally unprovoked, I’m so happy I saw this!):

D Family, we love you guys! I’m sure we’ll have many more days like these as the girls grow up, and we can’t wait. :)

You have to love those bright sunshine-filled days in the late fall, where the air is crisp, the sky is saturated in blue, and the leaves are bursting with color. I met little H and his mom at their home in Cambridge last weekend, only a few days before his first birthday, and we totally lucked out with a day just like this. We decided to take full advantage of the gorgeous weather, and headed out to the park near their house to play on the swings and slide.

200911_Heard.web_003

H is such a happy little boy, he loved watching all the dogs running around, and the little kids playing soccer. He was a little shy about the giant camera attached to my face, but that was nothing that a little game of peek-a-boo behind the slide couldn’t fix.

H is alllmost walking on his own–in fact, he may be by now!

Thank you guys for a such a fun Saturday morning! It was so nice to meet you, H is such a sweetheart.

Little M here is just about 3 months old, and was such a sweetheart to photograph! He is so laid back and easy-going–quite the opposite of what I’m used to in our house.

I’ve known M’s dad since high school (maybe even earlier??), and it was great to see him again! He and his wife own an AMAZING pizza/pasta/panini restaurant in East Boston called Dough. You HAVE to go check it out if you’re in the area. They made me a stromboli to bring home, and omg, it was so, SO good. If we lived closer, I’d probably be in daily…and my hips would NOT be happy, haha.

M’s mom took me to a gorgeous park overlooking the city for our session:

I do really miss places like this, living in the suburbs. It was such a treat to come here for a little while.

So, back to Mr. M. Talk about laid-back! He barely made a peep while we were shooting, he was unfazed. And his HAIR, well, it just speaks for itself. Have a look:

200910_Curley.web_004And that’s all-natural! How cute is that??

We just had to get the skyline in the background for one shot.

And finally, my favorite. Something about this one…

Thank you, C family, for your sweet hospitality and a fun afternoon! It was really great to catch up, and my husband is STILL asking when I’m going to bring him to Eastie to eat at Dough. He’s addicted! :)
