We are getting ready for Megan and Marc’s wedding coming up in a few weeks.  We are excited to kick off our 2012 wedding season with their wedding!  We know it’s going to be lots of fun.

I thought it was the perfect time to post their engagement session.  We met up for their session in Hopedale where they live.  It’s where Megan’s family has lived for many years and is a special place.  We won’t have the chance to shoot here for their wedding so that is why they chose this location for their engagement session.  Drew wasn’t able to make this shoot, I had fun hanging out with them and their adorable dog Duncan.  (Important tip!  If you want to bring your dog with you to your session awesome!!  Just have someone else with you to help with the pup).

Our family of 3 is going to be a family of 4!!!! We are expecting our little nugget in early July, my Dad is hoping for a July 4th baby because that is his birthday! My friend Michelle, part owner of The Pink Pinwheel, wanted to make us some cupcakes to share the babies gender with our family & friends. It was a cute and yummy idea!   We of course snapped a few shots of the cupcakes.  Prue assisting Drew taking the photos of the cupcakes.

Finally the big reveal!  When you took a bite of the cupcake the color frosting indicated what we are having! 

We look forward to welcoming the littlest MrDrew to our family.  Prue is excited about having a baby brother.  She was a little hesitant at first (since she was sure it was a baby girl).  She sometimes still says baby girl, but after I remind her she corrects herself.   Lot’s of mustached baby items are definitely in our future!  I think I’m going to have to have an intervention with Drew, we’ve already bought 2 little outfits and both are green and grey with stripes.

Being a Creative Person: Ira Glass on starting the creative journey.

February 13th, 2012

I came across this video on a photographers blog (thank you to The Youngrens) and thought it was worth sharing.  It’s Ira Glass, from This American Life, talking about what it’s like starting out in a creative field.  How you have really great ideas and taste, but then what you are creating might not be [...]

I came across this video on a photographers blog (thank you to The Youngrens) and thought it was worth sharing.  It’s Ira Glass, from This American Life, talking about what it’s like starting out in a creative field.  How you have really great ideas and taste, but then what you are creating might not be living up to that standard, and how it’s OKAY.  He explains how all creatives go through this.  When I look back at the work Drew & I created in our first years in college (I have a BA in art education & Drew has a BA in photography) I think it is not that great and not very well done, but we had the vision of what we wanted to create but what we were actually creating wasn’t living up to it.  Ira Glass is letting you know that it’s okay and normal to not create great work at the beginning.  You need to stick with it and keep working through it to get to the good stuff.  The only thing that is going to improve your creative work is doing more creative work.  The more you do, the better you’ll get.

Take a minute to watch the video and I hope it helps inspire you to keep working on your creative work and don’t give up.

Our good friend Kate is also a photographer and often when she needs a second shooter myself or Andrew will shoot with her.  I had the fun of shooting Sophie & Jacques wedding at Saphire Estate with Kate this past June.  We had a great time shooting such a lovely couple with lovely weather.  The venue is gorgeous and Andrew & I would love to shoot a wedding there.  The outdoor ceremony location is beautiful and then having the chance to walk down to the lake is amazing.   Thanks Kate for letting me be a part of this wedding with you.

I figured since Miss Olivia has finally made her debut and was born just a few days ago it was perfect time to post Ashley and Bobby’s maternity session from this past November.  Ashley and Bobby live far away in North Carolina (Ashley is originally from Massachusetts) Ashley knew she wanted us to shoot a maternity session for them and made it happen by scheduling it when they were in the area for their baby shower.  I had a great time hanging out with them and shooting at Elm park in Worcester.  I wish they lived closer so we could capture a newborn session of their adorable little lady.  Maybe next time they come up for a visit we can squeeze something in! hint hint ;)

Enjoy this wonderful time Ashley & Bobby.  The first year goes by so quickly!! You’ll be planning her first birthday party before you know it.
