[family] love. | newburyport ma

Wise Men say
only fools rush in
but I cant help
falling in love with you

Shall I stay
would it be a sin
if I can't help falling in love with you...

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darlin so it goes, somethings are meant to be..
Take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help fallin in love with you...

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darlin so it goes, somethings are meant to be..

Take my hand take my whole life too for I cant help
falling in love with you
for I cant help falling in love with...... you.

It was the coldest day for our mini session and sweet little Hunter was shivering. But we braved the wind and chill  to capture these snippets in time. Time is very important for this family as  Chris is being deployed (for the second time) to Afghanistan and he will be gone for a year. Chris is a U.S. Marine, following in his father's footsteps. Jenni is his adorable wife and Hunter is  their sweet little boy.  It was my honor to photograph them. The love of a family.  Safe journey. xx

[morning tea] | newburyport ma

i find myself drifting off in thought. sipping my tea. i haven't picked up a book that has consumed me like this in a long time. i can't get it out of my mind. taking me to another world. a world that hangs in the air outside my window, beyond my door. i didn't live in newburyport where some of this book takes place. but i live here now. and it's a far cry from the way it used to be. but the ghosts of another time are still lingering. they must be. this book has brought me to tears. in fact  i've sobbed several times. i can't imagine being so honest. so true to who you are. when i think back to my own youth, my own world, i feel like there is a veil hanging around it. memories not as sharp or clear as they should be. why is that. this book has made me wonder, it's made me grateful, it's made me sad, it's made me long for my family. it's made me want to sit in a room with my siblings and talk about our history. it's made me miss my mother more, if that's possible. and it's made me long for a hug from my dad. xo

[ever after]. | newburyport ma

i want to walk with you
on a cloudy day
in fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
so won't you try to come
come away with me {n. jones}

this is a beautiful "ever after" inspired session, modeled by the lovely nissa lafond. this shoot was styled to feature the beauty of  new england coupled with the beauty of sourced and owned objects culled together to create delightful and whimsical imagery. imagine a beautiful gift for your nuptials or anniversary celebration - you. wearing your wedded finery but with the freedom to just be. you and beautiful. refreshing no?
