Rhonda and Joel - Where Are They Now

Rhonda and Joel asked us to capture the visual story of the beginning of their lives together when they were wed at the Quidnessett Country Club.

Not too long ago, I got the call to photograph the Maternity Session! I love when my clients come back to me to document their lives as they grow and flourish. What a blessing!

Thank you, Rhonda and Joel, for asking me to help preserve these wonderful moments in your life.

Tori and Brian - Where Are They Now

I photographed Tori and Brian's wedding in Naples, FL five years ago. This year, for their anniversary (and unbeknownst to Tori), Brian made a few plans for celebration. He was such a champ ... he bought Tori a new dress, booked a getaway to Vegas and arranged to renew their vows before Elvis himself.

We took a photograph at their wedding that we all loved. I made them get in the water for a few poses and, here's the part I LOVE. They took a picture mimicking the pose and reconnected with me, sending along the story accompanied by the infamous re-enactment!

Thanks, Tori and Brian! I hope your anniversary was perfect and is followed up by a million more!

Nicoleta - Where Are They Now

I originally met Nicoleta at Alexandria and Daniel's wedding and, soon after, she came to us for a Red Boot Session.

I was pleasantly surprised and so excited when I recently received a call from Nicoleta and her husband, Steve. They asked me to photograph the Maternity Session! While they were here, Nicoleta and Steve signed up for our Chapter One Program, so now ... we will be able to follow their story as it progresses.

June 2010: UPDATE! Check out Yianni's (scroll down) Newborn Session from that we recently photographed as part of the Chapter One Program

Please take a peak at what is to be the first installment of Nicoleta's magnificent journey into motherhood!!!

Brea and Keith - Where Are They Now

Brea and Keith met in college at a luau. Their story is super special to me because I grew up with Brea and to see her relationship with Keith evolve and be able to capture it for them was a wonderful thrill! Their wedding took place at the Alpine Country Club on August 19, 2006 after a 2 year engagement (which, incidentally, followed 7 years of dating). It would be safe to say that Keith goes with the flow whereas Brea is most definitely the eternal planner! haha

They booked with us 2 years prior to their wedding because they anticipated 300+ guests (and, yes, because Brea likes to plan ahead). Their Engagement Session began at a local beach, moved on to a nearby park and we finished the session at the studio.

Their marriage ceremony took place at St. Gregory the Great Church on 360 Cowesett Road in Warwick, Rhode Island. They needed to be able to accommodate their enormous guest list and the Alpine Country Club was the perfect venue to suit their needs. The wedding was exceptionally fun for me because I knew a majority of the guests. Lavender colored the theme of her wedding and smiles painted the endless sea of faces present at their celebration. The Alpine Country Club also created a mind-blowing dessert tray that I definitely hit up waaaaaay too many times! hehee

When we were growing up, Brea would always say that she "planned" on having only one child. Well, on May 10th of 2009, the world welcomed their little package! He arrived in an 8lb., 6oz. and 19" long bundle of joy we all know as Tray David. We created lovely Birth Announcements for them and we are currently designing their Storybook from our Chapter One Program. Since Tray has arrived, it seems Brea may be changing her mind and considering a sibling for Tray - that's fine with me! "Auntie" Sara has plenty of love to share!!!

RECENT UPDATE!
The family just came did a Family Session with us and the images came out fantastic! Scroll through the images to view the ever-evolving love story of Brea and Keith and, now, their precious boy Trey David ...


Amanda and Jamie - Where Are They Now

Meet Amanda and Jamie! I had the pleasure to photograph Amanda's Maternity Session a few weeks back.

Amanda and Jamie met through a mutual friend on a blind date and will be getting married at Belle Mer on September 18th, 2010. Quoted from Jamie's mouth "She loved wine and sushi! I was all over that!" The rest is history!

The couple has two children, Cole (8 years) and Braelynn (21 months) and a little one one the way. They have chosen to be surprised on the sex of the baby, which they are expecting to learn on November 23, 2009. Amanda and Jamie have narrowed the name possibilities down to either Dean or Anna-Lynn, depending.

I've included a few images from their Maternity Session here - what a sexy mommy and daddy, huh? Stay tuned, as they have also signed up for our "Chapter One" program, so there is definitely more to come!Bold

RECENT UPDATE!!!

Ana, Amanda and Jamie's new baby girl, arrived on November 27, 2009 (a little later than expected) and weighed in at 9lbs, 3oz. Congratulations to both of you and your growing family!

MORE NEWS!!!

Recently, the entire family came in and we photographed a Family Session! Cole is a great big brother to his two little sisters, Braelynn and Ana. Braelynn is your typical two year old (uh-oh haha) and Ana is a happy, curious little girl. It's so exciting to be able to observe them all as they bond.

Ashley and Brad - Where Are They Now

Our relationship with Ashley and Brad began with a fun, Autumn Engagement Session. We chose to use a combination of the gorgeous New England Fall foliage and Roger Williams Park and Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island for the setting.

That following Spring, Ashley made a simply breathtaking bride who made her accessories and gown beautiful. They were married April 25, 2008 at the Alpine Country Club where the spring blooms adorned the striking landscape. Ashley's approach to designing her wedding was quite unique. She masterfully combined bright red with bright purple for a color theme that really popped and decided to change into an elegant white dress at the beginning of the reception. For all those who know their love story, everyone would agree that their song choice of "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts was perfectly fitting on that day.

It's truly a gift to me when I have the opportunity to witness new love blossom into a new family. Soon after, Ashley and Brad returned to us to join our Chapter One Program. We created a beautiful Storybook Album over the span of the pregnancy.

We followed up with the Birth Announcements. Matthew Warren made his appearance on 18 February, 2009 at 2:03am weighing in at 9lbs 9oz and 20" long - he immediately stole everyone's hearts. Here's a look at their novel ...

Remaining unique in the design of the wedding, Ashley is seen here
