We are in the process of moving. Moving means there are a lot of things to be done and boxes to be packed. Where does this leave me?
Looking through old photos of course. And by old photos, I mean the kind that are printed on paper and sit in boxes and albums from generations ago. I came across a couple of me when I was younger taken by my American-Polish Grandfather (Dziadziu) who was quite the talent behind the camera. I will have to post them at some point. But better to wait until a time when my poor husband wont have a heart attack when he finds me scanning photos instead of, well, packing.
Any how. So I was strolling down that lane of memories while sorting through some present work (the kind that lives on my computers) and came across these photos.
Wouldn’t everyone want a photo like this with their grandparent? I know I don’t have one of me with mine. I have to remember to get my camera out the next time I see my parents with the kids and when we travel to visit my parents in law in the end of the summer. Anyhow, thought I would share.

Squeeze a wedding into your summer vacation | Cambridge Wedding Photography
I had such a great time at this wedding. K & J wear their fondness for life and each other in a way that makes my job easy. Everyone else at the party seemed to shop the same designer. See here for yourself…
The event itself was lovely (even with the heat)
St. Paul’s Parish in Cambridge.
This is my shot titled “Hey there, wanna go to this dance with me tonight? All the cool kids are gonna be there…” It pays homage to the fact that this wedding was made possible by the fact that the couple met while teaching. No, they didn’t have their reception in a school gym, but the very lovely MIT faculty Club with the awesome view of Boston. I had just happened upon this row of lockers on the way downstairs to scout out some shots outside.
You can stage a good shot- but happiness is unmistakable and unmissable if you are ready to catch it when it runs past.
A few of my favorites | Newborn and Family Photography
Let’s start with Little Rose. Who is perfect and sweet and in these photos, 5 days old.
Now that we have noted her perfection, I think it is time to address her head of hair! Who comes out with hair this cute and thick? Or looking like she just had it shaped at the salon?
For that matter, what parents look so good while managing a newborn and a toddler in a cast?
And what toddler looks this happy and adorable while immobilized in a leg cast?
And… who would place a newborn in a chair with as much family/sibling history* as this one?
* I don’t know all of the specifics, but it seems the chair was used, on a few occasions, as a weapon by Rose’s Aunt during Rose’s mother’s own childhood. Since I have a few similar accusations held against me as an older sibling, I will refrain from any form of judgment. We are all hoping that history does not repeat itself.
Lovely Ladies | East Greenwich Family Portraits
I have been swamped this last week with sessions, weddings, albums and even managed to squeeze in a mini family vacation for the 4th of July. But I have to share a few that I came across from a session I did this last weekend in East Greenwich, RI. These two girls and their family could not have made my job easier.
All of the components of a great session were there… Great kids, loving family, perfect weather, wonderful yard to let them all play a little. How beautiful are these girls?
Even their Grandparents got in on the act.
And the parents had some great suggestions of places by the water we could visit. I will see if I can find some of those photos to share later.
All and all, a perfect session.
Okay, now back to work.
Cheers!
Christmas Portraits- Providence Family Photographer
These may be a little late in posting, but kids and families this cute can’t just stay on my computer without sharing. What an honor it was to get to photograph this 7 month old. Her parents were here visiting family for the holidays all the way from Japan. And after having traveled half way around the world, this little lady was up for some photos!
I would like to point out that these images were of her crawling the farthest she had ever gone before. All to get her hands on my camera. The girl knows a good Japanese Camera when she sees one!
Cousins, separated by land and ocean, couldn’t keep their hands off each others hair.
Modeling this well is hard work!
It was also really nice to get to sample some of the Sembe the family brought with them. Amazing how flavors can take you to places almost forgotten. It brought me back to my time spent in Japan so many years ago with K.
Cheers and Merry, Happy Holidays to All!
