She was so soft and melty in my hands… little Mariah loved to be posed and held throughout the session. She slept the entire time, and was an absolute dream to photograph! Thank you for coming into the studio, and best of luck with your new baby girl.

I can’t believe he is turning one! I first met mom and dad over a year ago at Colt State Park for their maternity session. They are all honest, funny and extremely photogenic people, and after every session I always wish I could follow them wherever they are going. I can’t get enough of this little boy (and neither can Meg, our editor!)
He loved his cookie monster cake, but I think his favorite part of the entire session was the bath!

We had a beautiful sunset at Barrington beach for our session last week! Archie is already so smiley at 8 weeks old, and he was such a chill little guy (got to love chunky baby boys!)
His big sister Ruby is just stunning with her big smile, curls and adorable pink glasses! I’m so happy we are neighbors; our kids are all going to go to school together, and they are spaced out just perfectly where they might even be in the same classes!

“Chloe’s parents are both nurses and her daddy is also a firefighter. The night before she was born, her mommy started having contractions. From everything she learned in nursing school, these resembled Braxton Hicks contractions, or false labor. Chloe’s daddy was working at the fire station, and since her mommy thought it was false labor, she went to bed. When she got up in the morning the contractions were still at irregular times, still about the same strength, and still just in her abdomen. Suddenly the contractions were two minutes apart and much more unbearable, so Chloe’s mommy called her daddy to come home from work and bring her to the hospital. Guess this is the real thing!
When they got to the hospital, the wonderful nurses at Women and Infants told them that she was 7 cm dilated and couldn’t believe that she didn’t come in sooner. They were quickly admitted and a few hours later, Chloe Fleur was born. August 5th, 2012 at 8:39pm weighing 7lbs and measured 18.5 inches. Chloe Fleur’s name means “blooming flower” and her parents thought that this was a beautiful name for a growing little girl.
When the nurses placed her in her mommy’s arms, it was such a surreal feeling after waiting so long to meet her and wondering what she looked like. Chloe’s mommy and daddy are so in love with her and look forward to seeing her grow up to be a beautiful little girl. Hopefully she likes animals because little Chloe Fleur has three kitty siblings and three doggie siblings that are just waiting to play with her!”

““Your pregnant”, those are the words my husband Andrew and I had longed to here, occasionally thinking we may never hear them. On November 28th 2011 those are the exact words that we finally heard!!! For the next 41 weeks joy and delight filled my body, heart and soul, my pregnancy with Ava was wonderful, I felt special and yes somedays I even felt that I was “glowing”.
Finally the day that my husband and I had been waiting anxiously for was upon us and in what seemed like a world wind, our lives were about to change forever. it was a Tuesday at 5pm I was home alone and debating what to make for dinner. When heading into the kitchen, I felt it, my water broke. I immediately knew what was happening and could not stop smiling. I called my husband at work who rushed right home and we headed, astonishingly calm, to the hospital.
My Birth plan from the beginning was to try and “go with the flow”, I wanted certain things and was opposed to some but most of all I wanted the safest and best outcome for my daughter. I was induced at 11:30p.m on 8/7/12 and by 8:30 am I was in active labor. upon exam, Ava was still higher than they would have liked and was progressing slowly, if at all. By 5:30pm, and after 2 hours of pushing, not much progress had been made. At that point my water had broken 24 hours before and the doctors were afraid of infection. I had a temperature and Ava’s heart rate was elevated slightly. My doctor explained to me all the risks that would occur if I continued to push, I wasn’t willing to take that chance. My Doctor, Husband and I had previously spoken about the possibility of c-section and this was now the time to make the decision. Although somewhat disappointed, I was not discouraged. This little girl was going to be in my arms somehow, someway. We did what we believed was best for little Ava and opted for the cesarean delivery. My husband changed into his scrubs and off we went to the OR. Within 15 minutes I heard one of the sweetest sounds, the cry of our daughter!! Weighing 9lbs 2oz and 20 inches long. She did not cry for long, in fact she was all smiles. she was brought to me right away and immediately I felt a love I didn’t know existed, this was the greatest moment of my life!

I want to remember every moment I have with my daughter, starting with the moments leading up to her birth. The anticipation, the excitement, the joy and unconditional love that I feel when I look at my daughter is something that has been explained to me before but I couldn’t understand until I held her in my arms.”
