We are counting down! There are only a few short days left until showtime, and in preparation, Lisa and Todd asked me to take some wedding photos of the both of them to display at the reception. Todd and Lisa are such a beautiful couple, and it is going to be a magical day!
Countdown to "I do"
Beautiful Bride
My sister in law is getting married this weekend, and I was lucky enough to take bridal portraits for one of the most photogenic people I know! Here's my proof... (love you Lisa!)
The Shop
One of our dearest friends in Cambridge has the most amazing warehouse type workshop, which his business is based from. I love this "shop", my favorite thing being the fabulous doors that surround it. I have been meaning for quite some time to take some photos by these doors, and this weekend I took my children over to be my test models. Such fun!
Thanksgiving
I am thankful for so many things! Today, I am thankful that I am not more sick than I actually am. Although my voice is virtually non existent, and I am coughing up a lung or two... at least I am not sitting in a hospital bed.
Our Thanksgiving weekend was full of excitement! My sister, Becky, utterly and completely surprised us by arriving on our doorstep (compliments of our friend Bridget)to spend the weekend with us. I was in shock, and again, so grateful. The hardest thing about living on the East Coast is not having family near by. Becky was able to assist me on Friday's photo shoot with our dear friends, the Morton family. Such fun! I was also able to snap a few of Becky during her visit. And now I'm off to design Christmas cards from these shoots. Here's a sneak peek:
I know, I know...
I know these are already on my site, but I cannot possibly resist posting some of my favorite photos from the photo shoot last weekend with my fantastically photogenic sister in law (and soon-soon-to-be) brother in law. They are such fun, and up for just about anything! We had a blast (right Todd??) and even gave the boy scouts a bit of a show :) 
My Darling Em
This morning I whisked my little Emma off to the studio to attempt taking a few shots. She is a tough nut to crack! I can probably count on one or two hands the number of photos I have with her big beautiful smile... Today was hardly an exception. In the few moments that I was able to entertain her with stories of her very favorite super hero - Buzz Lightyear, I barely penetrated her tough little 2 year old personality! I shamelessly tried to bribe her with lollipops, but her response was a firm "no way!" She then proceeded to fold her arms and gave me the biggest pout I have ever laid eyes on! Here's my proof:
Fun Times on White Street
This last week has been a busy one! We blasted off with our two little astronauts for Halloween, celebrated Emma's 2nd birthday, and have renewed Ollie and Emma's passion for brushing teeth with a trip to the dentist! We also took Christmas photos of the kids last night, and I cannot resist posting some of them. I have promised myself to be on top of Christmas cards this year, and am proud to say that they are ordered! I found a sliver of time between 8-10 pm last night, and seized the moment. I suppose I am feeling the Christmas spirit even earlier this year.
Two things
My family and I recently got home from a wonderful week visiting family in Utah. While we were there I was able to schedule in a few photo shoots including engagement photos for my sister in law, and her uber cool fiance. What fun! During the shoot and post production editing, I realized that there are two things that I LOVE. The first being a total necessity, but perhaps taken for granted is my Canon 580 speedlight for all the lovely off-camera fill flash needs. The second is my Wacom editing tablet. Such a cool device. I'm feeling the love people! I think I should take a step back more often to appreciate the overlooked in my camera bag -which is one more thing that I LOVE. I guess that makes 3 things now...
It wouldn't be a very exciting blog without photos, so here's a nice little batch from the trip:
NEW SITE!!
I am so excited about the new look of amybrownstudios.com! It has been a lot of fun updating it (with Jeff's help of course.) I have a ton of photo shoots in the next couple of weeks, so please check back often, as I will be updating the website with more photos in the next days and weeks.
I am also excited about the proofing section on our site, which will allow upcoming clients to view the proofs from their shoot (with a password) directly from amybrownstudios.com. Much more direct than deciding from watermarked images on disc!
I hope you enjoy viewing our fresh new site. Please feel free to comment with any suggestions.
Dreaming of Aruba
My family doesn't go on vacation very often, but we are looking forward to our second trip to Aruba in February. I can hardly wait...
Miss Em
Some of my recent favorites of Emma. Unfortunately, she only has about a 5 minute attention for taking photos:)
Beautiful Family
I was lucky enough to be able to photograph two of my favorite people yesterday, a Mother and Son. What beautiful people!
