Animal Adventures in Bolton MA

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Animal Adventures to meet their animals and explore the facilities. There are so many cute and interesting species to see. I would highly recommend visiting them for a 1/2 day adventure, or children's birthday party! Here are some of my favorite photos:

Taken from their website: Animal Adventures is New England's largest privately owned animal rescue center of its kind! We have been operating in Bolton, Massachusetts since 1997. We are a rescue center first. We take in hundreds of unwanted or unable to be cared for animals each year. Some we are able to find homes for and other will live here the rest of their lives. We have zero state or federal funding and are 100% self sufficient. We are state and USDA licensed to keep all of our animals.

Laura and Nick's Sunrise Boston Engagement Session

We met in the dark, just before sunrise, on the bridge in the Boston Public Garden. Nick had proposed to Laura beside this bridge, and as the sky turned a dark purple, we realized we had a perfect day. Over the next hour we explored the gardens as Boston lit up slowly, played a little football, and took a walk down Charles street and up into Beacon Hill. The whole time (even though it was 6:30am!) Laura and Nick were energetic, radiant, and so clearly in love. Congratulations Laura and Nick!

Elijah at 1 Month

A 1 month update on my favorite little man, Elijah. He is such a lucky boy being surrounded by such powerful women!

Kosmider family portraits in Groveland, Western New York

I had an amazing time working with the sweet and totally adorable Kosmider family at Katie's family's farm in Western NY. From tutus to overalls to apples to tractors, we did it all! Enjoy!

Traynor family portraits at Hemlock Lake in Western New York

I was honored when Kelli and Joe asked me to take their portraits again, as we had an awesome time last year. This year, we explored a few locations on Hemlock lake, surrounded by beautiful fall foliage, all rewarded with unlimited puddle splashing at the end!

Ardi and Caroline's Boston Wedding

Ardi and Caroline were married on a perfect fall day on September 26th. We started out in a big beautiful room at the Medford Hyatt, where the bridal party met to get ready and toast to a wonderful day. Next, we braved the Boston traffic for formals on the Esplanade, which was perfectly decorated with sailboats, blue skies, and the leaves just starting to turn gold. The ceremony was held at Our Lady of Grace in Everett, which looked like a castle, and was the perfect location for a bag pipe serenade. Inside, Ardi and Caroline said their vows surrounded by loved ones and stunning stained glass windows. After saying "I do" we made our way to the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology, a new venue facility with vintage appeal. Guest enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvre's and cocktails in an epic high ceiling, marble foyer. If you couldn't guess, their entrance to the reception space as a married couple was also grand, welcomed by two trumpeters in the balcony. Later in the evening, toasts, first dances, and dinner made way into a unforgettable dance party. Congratulations Ardi and Caroline! We had such a nice time with you on your big day!
