Puppy is 4 Weeks Old!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH SO CUTE!

They look like puppies now!  Standing and everything...hahaha

Weaning off mommy - this is their first kibble breakfast!

Look Familiar??

Well, we finished putting in the 10,000 panels of our fence - and Jeremy decided to jump for joy.  It looks a little too much like one of our wedding pictures tho...check that out here, on Grazier Photography's blog.  Especially since he's holding the shovel the same way he held the cane!  Goofball.  

My cutie!

Aww look at my baby, he's so adorable.  I was just organizing some files and came across these and wanted to share!

He's also really weird:  (but we knew that already.)

Love you Jeremy!

Stephanie & David

Stephanie & David had a very nice ceremony - their closest friends told heartwarming stories about them, and their closeness was so visible.  It was also a beautiful location - the Squatum Association in East Providence, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful day.  65 and sunny, a beautiful sunset over the water, and a great bunch of guests!

This group of girls danced ALL night and were totally hamming it up for the camera - it was awesome!!

Thanks guys, it was so much fun to share such a beautiful day with you!

Leonard?

UPDATE: I don't think I like Leonard as much as Franklin.  Anyway, the little guy on the left is most likely gonna be our lil baby.  Our breeder told the cutest story of him - he sat up (picture a super tiny puppy sitting...) he barked, and he scared the crap out of himself for making such a noise, and fell over.  SO CUTE!

With a nickname of Lenny?  (Or Spock, as my dad would like...)  We're still trying to think of good names for our future puppy.  I'm still stuck on Franklin, or Peanut.  Leonard is ok, Jeremy likes that one.  Any ideas would be appreciated!  

Anyway, this past weekend we got the chance to see Dustin (as he is named right now...what do you think of that one??) at TWO WEEKS old!!!  They are still SO TINY.  Their eyes are open, and actually Dustin opened his first.  He seems to be the smallest of the 4 puppies, still not weighing a pound yet.  We don't know for sure that we will be getting Dustin, and not one of the other puppies, but when I saw him in the pictures, he was my favorite, and when I told our breeder that, she said she had already been thinking of him for us!  It's fate :)  I didn't have my camera, only my iphone...so the pictures are not so great.  Of course though, I will post them!!

This is Dustin.  He's mostly black with a little white on his head, and his feet and tail tip are white.  He looks like his mommy, which is awesome.  We can't wait to bring him home!!! 

Here they are, little cuddle-bugs.  They kept slowly moving closer and closer to each other.  And then the little guy in the corner rolled on his back!  

Apple Picking!

Today we went apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow, MA.  They are fantastic, and next year (it's a little too late this year) if you are going to go apple picking, or just really want some delicious cider donuts or caramel apples, or anything like that, you just have to go there.  It's awesome.  They have acres and acres of apple trees and all different kinds.  They also have pumpkins and farm animals (including the 3 Little Pigs!) and a country store.  You have to check it out!!!  Here's some snapshots I took!

Jeremy up in the tree gettin the good apples!

My mom up in the tree getting the apples Jeremy could reach while standing on the ground...hahaha.  

Jeremy looks like he's scared to be on the ladder here...but he wasn't.  that i know of...

Sandra and Jeremy with their apple-babies.  Weirdos :)

Me and Jeremy.  For some reason I really love this picture.  

Meghan, Jeremy, Me, Sandra and my mom.  It was fun guys!!

do it.

Sara & Robert: Engaged!

Sara & Robert are not getting married until next July but wanted to do their Engagement Shoot in the fall. It's my favorite season too!! We had the shoot in Lincoln, MA, where it is VERY pretty! There is beautiful conservation land right near where they live, and we had part of the shoot there. We also went to downtown Concord and took advantage of the unique storefronts and scenery!
I don't think it took either of them any time to get used to the camera - or if they were nervous, I couldn't tell. They were SO great, and did anything I asked, including standing in narrow alleys with piles of garbage behind them, and posing next to overflowing sewage. Gross!

Here's a few highlights!

Thanks so much for a great shoot Sara & Robert - can't wait for your wedding next July!

Ronan McElligott Memorial Playground

A little while back I donated one of my photography packages, the Baby Milestones (3 Shoots at 3 different ages) to the Ronan McElligot Boundless Playground, An Evening of Boundless Inspiration silent auction, and Alison won the silent auction!

Please go to the Ronan's playground website and see what it's all about.  Ronan McElligot was actually Alison's cousin, and he had a very rare neurometabolic disorder.  In Ronan's memory, his parents are raising money to build a Barrier Free playground at Edward's Beach in Westford, MA.  This is a playground where ALL children can play, and there are very few around, especially in the Westford area.  It is truly an inspirational story.

On the day of our shoot, Alison was one day shy of 9 weeks old.  She is very adorable, and was quite patient, given her age!!  

Here's a few shots from the first session:

I can't wait to photograph Alison again at 6 months old and see how she's changed and grown!!!

More puppy pics!!!

Yes, I am going to be COMPLETELY annoying with the amount of pictures I will post of our new puppy.  I can't help it!

Dustin is the one on top, Jon is underneath.

This is Jacoby.

One of these little boys will be comin home with us!!
