Courtney & Tyler | Plymouth Engagement

“Feels like -5 degrees” is what the radio said during my drive down to Plymouth Harbor on Sunday.  There would be no rescheduling… Courtney and Tyler were visiting from St. Louis, Missouri and we had set the date for their engagement session long ago.  Despite the cold and wind, I had such a great time with these two.  They had no choice but to cuddle up and that makes for the best photos.  At one point, I was actually having trouble giving direction because my mouth was frozen, haha.  Somehow, though, they figured out what I was trying to say and totally rocked it.  Here are a few favorites!

I loved the light on these stairs!

Family Time!

I’ve been holding back some really fun family and kid sessions from the end of 2011.  Now that Christmas cards have been sent and gifts have been given, I think they’re safe to post : )

I met up with Addie and Vinny on a beautiful day in Columbus Park:

I caught up with Grayson!  Three words that describe Grayson… on.the.go : )

I met the adorable baby Jackson in South Boston!

And had a doubly awesome cousin session with Reese and Victoria!

Allison & Matt | Cape Cod Wedding

In addition to my own weddings, I also second shot several times in 2011.  I love to second shoot.  It’s always so interesting to see how another photographer works.  It’s also a great opportunity to be creative.  As the main photographer, it’s important to be creative but also to get all the safe shots.  As a second shooter, I challenge myself to get a different perspective as much as possible… one that compliments what the main shooter is getting.

I second shot Allison and Matt’s wedding day with friend Stephanie O’Neill at the New Seabury Country Club.  I had a great time helping her out and got to visit my family in the same weekend.  Double win!  Here’s a peek…

I started the day with the guys:

I’m not really one to push jumping shots, but the guys were all about it.  I do love this!  They executed the most visually balanced jump of all time… haha.

Allison looked gorgeous!
