I'm it!

Well, it appears I’ve been tagged, twice! Once from Boston area wedding photographer Michael Blanchard and once from Sam Barr, who found my blog through Becker’s blog and has some rockin’ nature photographs. What can I say, the internet connects people…

So I’m supposed to tell you 8 things about me that you many not know and then tag 8 more photogs to do the same…


1. I love anything sweet. It’s sad really, I go into the local convenience store and lovingly pick out my Laffy Taffy, nerd ropes and fun dip, candy that is meant for the 9 yrs and under crowd. I’ve called the Wonka hotline before…maybe I shouldn’t have admitted that, ooops!

2. I’m Canadian. Born in Montreal, Quebec and lived there for the first 7 years of my life.

3. I’m SCUBA certified. I took a PADI diving course back in high school so I could go on a Field Study in Belize. I got trained half in a pool and half in freezing cold Lake Champlain. So glad I did it though!

4. I love clean, simple lines and modern stuff. Can we say IKEA? Drool.

5. I HATE scary movies. Ok, even remotely scary movies. I went to see Superbad the other day (hilarious!) and there was a preview for a movie and I had to close my eyes, hum, and make Chris tell me when it was over!

6. I love office supplies, and organizing said office supplies in little containers and neat stacks (the only organized drawer in my desk). Needless to say, a trip to Staples for me is thrilling.

7. Netflix makes a killing off me. Takes me forever to return them!

8. I’m finishing up my senior year at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. May brings “the real world”, ready or not!


So, TAG, you're it!

Good thing the rain held out...

because I had a great time working with the Mount family! I scheduled a session last weekend back in Vermont and we met up at Oakledge Park, what a great spot… right on the lake, wonderful rocks to climb (and did I mention I had to climb too chasing after twin 4th grade boys??) and lovely green grasses. Although the sky looked ominous, the clouds created the most beautiful soft filter for the light- a perfect shooting afternoon for a beautiful family.

Sunday Morning in the Gardens

On Sunday, I met up with Tom & Mary and their daughter, Nina. We walked slowly up Comm Ave and into the Public Gardens, on a perfect day for portraits. Nina was so excited to see (and climb on!) Mrs. Mallard and her little ducklings. We also saw real ducks, geese and swans in the pond and watched the swanboats paddle by.

My favorite moment was when miss Nina was climbing the branches of a twisty tree and a squirrel hopped up right in front of her. Boston, the home of the fearless squirrel!

Boston, the place to be!

Well, I can't say this everyday- today I got to hang out with Jessica Claire and Becker while they were in Boston shooting an engagment session. A few of us met up at Boston BeerWorks over by Fenway Park for some great beers and burgers before Jessica and Becker went to the game. Jessica and I even had matching Shootsacs! (check out the Baroque cover in the photos, yum!)

Had the chance to meet some cool local photographers too, gotta love the internet connecting people. Of course, what would a group of photographers be without some photos?!

Becker, Jessica, Paula and me.

Great Tunes

I've been spending a fair amount of time on the computer lately and have developed a somewhat scarey addiction to iTunes. I dread receiving those iTunes receipts in my email because then I'm forced to look at the damage my clicking frenzy has created! ;) Despite this, I have found some AMAZING songs and I thought I'd share my favorites with you!



Brandi Carlile - The Story
Oddly enough my brother told me about this one. "The Story" is what first got me liking Brandi Carlile, but since that song I've bought songs from both her albums and I love her voice! Its throaty and powerful, plus her lyrics are great. I'm loving "Turpentine" "Throw it all Away" and "What Can I Say" as well.




Alice Smith - For Lovers, Dreamers & Me
I heard "Dreams" during the credits on Entourage last week and Googled the only line I could remember and found it! De-lovely!




Colbie Caillat - Coco
"Bubbly" is her new single, but I'm in love with "The Little Things". I have the whole album and every song is great in its own way :)




Sara Bareilles- Little Voice
"Love Song" is my current favorite. Makes me wanna get up, dance, and sing along!
