world famous miss Mary

every once in a while my sister in law and i swap kids. this morning, miss Mary was with us. i arrived at the playground and freed the children. the first thing someone asked me was "is this THE famous Mary??" she gets a lot of time on the blog i guess...sorry other nieces and nephews! i swear i love you all equally! these were shot in the span of maybe 20-25 minutes. i had just returned home from assisting on a food shoot and was fairly exhausted. but when Mary ran up to me in this outfit, i could not hold myself back. she gets it too. totally gets it. auntie whips out the camera and she knows what's up. she has energy unlike any other child i've known her age, which adds to up a lot of blurry pics. but when you love Mary, you start to find a way to love the blurry, and make it work to your advantage.

and this is what i actually look like most of the time : ridiculous and dangling a dog toy, in this case, a tennis ball.

Baylen and his new brother Grier : at home | boston photographer

on a dark and rainy day, i slipped into a wee little house. i was greeted by Baylen, you bounced about at my feet, eager to drag me upstairs. i shed my damp layers and crept quietly through the creaky house, up the stairs and into a room. a room with the soft glow of a lamp. where mom and dad sleep. a beautiful, homey little room, with diapers tucked into nooks and muslin wraps strewn about. and then, in the middle of the bed was a sweet, warm bundle. a tiny babe. littlest Grier.

i had a chance to play with Harris and his family when his little brother Bode was first born. he was the funniest, spunkiest little guy ever. pretty excited that they came out for the fall minis. and i knew mama was going to dress them well. oh, they so did not disappoint.

a dream realized | boston family photographer

Sarah and Don are friends of a friend. And when said friend throws a birthday party every once in a while, our paths cross. They are so funny and sweet and big sister Sophie is such a smart and polite young woman. The last time I saw Sarah she spoke to me about her hopes to adopt. I am amazed by the strength that families who adopt overseas have, because it really can be a long, arduous process. But in the end there is such happiness and joy. I was so excited to finally meet Ginger and see how perfectly she fits with this fun loving and happy family. Definitely meant to be.
