It started back last winter.  I couldn't get enough.  My husband was privy to it all and actually found it amusing.

I would stalk and at the last minute I would pounce!

Ok, so it was on Ebay…I love PROPS!  I especially love antiques.  And so it began and continues.  I think they really add a timelessness to photos and my clients have been especially receptive.  When I look in stores, I don't go in looking for anything specific but when I see it, I j-u-s-t know.  Yesterday I found a great anitque globe which will go really great with the antique school desk I scooped up off of craisglist over the winter.  Perfect for a fall shoot out in the middle of a field with a couple of kids. Anyone intersted?!  So, here a few of my favorite finds.


Antique WICKER (!) Baby Scale…all the way from North Dakota.

Not so much an antique but really adorable nonetheless!

Great vintage wash basin.  This is perfect for baby bath shots!

I never made it to Brimfield this summer (boohoo) but will make it a MUST for next.
Until then, I will continue scouring the net and local shops.

    Meredith Piscitelli - ‘Tho I don’t like the word Grandma and would prefer Grandmother or Nana, THAT is my favorite. Check the unabashed look/expression of love & tenderness in the womans face. It’s what every grandmother feels for a grand-child, no matter what age.

    Lisa Townsend - LOVE, love, love the first one- just so classic and tender.

    Alyssa - of course I am biased because its my friends son but i love the texture and depth to the one with grandpa…

Today I did a shoot with a great girl I met from one of my oh-so-fabulous mom groups.  She is expecting baby #2 in less than 3 weeks and looks AMAZING!!  We decided to do this now at 37 weeks , instead of at 7 or 8 months, because they were getting the nursery ready and I knew I wanted to capture some shots in there.  I was greated by Sadie, their 7 year old bull dog, and their 2 year old son, Frankie.  Considering this was really my first "REAL" maternity shoot–the first being my very good friend Andrea a few years ago–I am happy with the outcome.  Now I look forward to when the little one makes her way into the world so I can head back up and get those delicious newborn photos!  Ok, so here are some of my fav's from today…

    Brawayevale - Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as toms women s shoes I provide credit and sources back to your blog? My blog site is in the exact same niche as yours and my users would really benefit from a lot of the information you present here.toms shoes online , Please let me know if this alright with you. Regards!

I had a shoot yesterday with a lovely family from Hingham.  I was greeted by their 3 year old daughter and 6 1/2 year old son who seemed to take a liking to me right away.  He said that I looked "fun" and asked if I babysit! 🙂  I told him that, yes, everyday I "babysit" my two year old son, Grayson.  Ha. Anyway, we spent some time picking out the outfits and then headed over to Worlds End Beach.  Sounds apocolyptic but in fact it's really quite serene and beautiful.  There are over 4 miles of hiking trails and carriage paths, meadows that attract butterflies and dragon flies, and scenic vistas all along the way.  It was a location dream!  Here are some of my favorite shots from the session.

…to grandmother's house we go!  I was booked back in February for this shoot.  My client wanted to have a portait session of her mother's grandkids as a birthday gift.  There were 3 sets of children ages 1.5 to 8 years old.  It's always tough at first to get the kids to warm up but after I had them jumping off benches, making kiddie pyramids and showing off their muscles, things started get fun.  Then, of course, lollypops can make any kid happy!

Here is their pyramid!

And then the lollypops came out….
