Lisa & Steve + a surprise!! {portrait : franklin, ma}

I posted Lisa's sneak peek a couple weeks ago but here is the full post!!  Her boyfriend came along to hold all our coffee's and he even jumped in for a few... sans coffee ;)  Lisa rocked the camera and I have to say, Steve did a pretty awesome job too!  After the shoot Steve surprised Lisa by taking her up to the Mt. Washington Hotel for her birthday.  But that wasn't it....

...Steve also PROPOSED!!!  ...and Lisa said YES ;)

Congratulations Lisa & Steve!!

Much Love,

Aubrey

p.s. I love looking at these last couple because Steve knows what's up and Lisa has no idea!  How sweet :)

The Gyftopoulos Family {portrait : lincoln, ma}

I hope everyone had a warm and joyous Christmas!  We had part one in Connecticut on Christmas Day and part two is just around the corner...but I wanted to get this up for you before New Years!!

I had big plans for this shoot...all of which didn't really get to happen because we had quite the little snow storm hit us in the middle of it.  But it still turned out to be a fantastic shoot with the Gyftopoulos Cousins!!  All 10 of them! 

Happy New Year!

Much Love,

Aubrey

Merry Christmas! {personal : franklin, ma}

Christmas is my favorite time of year, so I wanted to share a little bit of ours with you!  This is our first Christmas in our very own house, to which we now lovingly call a home.  I am so very excited that I get to have my most cherished family members around our first LIVE tree this year and I can guarantee you there will be carols sung, presents opened and Puggle's snuggled at it's hearty base. 

From my family to yours, we wish you a very happy holiday season!

Much Love,

Aubrey, Matt, Rupert & Stella

Sneak peek: Lisa! {portrait : franklin, ma}

I've got a quick little SNEAK PEEK for you this afternoon!  Let me introduce, Lisa!  Lisa and her siblings are giving their parents pictures of themselves for Christmas as a way to update their decor.  Until recently, her parents still had 4th grade mugshots hanging all over the place.  I am sure their walls will look A LOT different with this portrait on the wall!!  Lisa was super nervous but as soon as she got some coffee in her and took off her jacket, she was totally workin' the camera!

I'll have more soon, but now I must make a mess in the kitchen...it's time to make the Christmas cookies!!!

Much Love,
Aubrey

The key to success {head shots : Belmont, MA}

Losing my job at a fantastic, downtown architecture firm was right up top on my list of heartbreaking things that have happened in my life.  I spent five years in college developing who I was and who I was going to be in the design world and it all culminated with finding the perfect job...but only a handful of years in and it all came crashing down.  Looking back on it now, it was only the paycheck that came crashing down.  My colleagues, my friendships and my heart were stronger than ever.  My determination to pull my new career together was moving faster than my fingers and toes were.  Before I knew it I was back in school and I had a new business with clients lining up outside my door.  The word got out because of my former colleagues, the clients were my friends and my heart continued to be hopeful and courageous.

Mary Ann is starting a new business at the age of 60.  Talk about courage!  She is going to be extremely successful...and it's not just because she had her head shots taken by yours truly. ;)  It's because she is strong willed and very determined to be happy!  She also has a fantastic support system and tons of talented people helping her out.  Mary Ann, I can't wait to see all that your business becomes.  I wish you so much luck, success and love in your new adventure!

Just saying hello {Puggle}

Happy Thursday everyone!  Things have been a bit crazy around here so I just wanted to take a moment to pop in and say hello.  With me today is Miss Stella, who has almost doubled in size since she last visited the blog!  This poor girl has had a rough start to life and most recently was diagnosed with Cherry Eye.  She will be having surgery soon, but her spirits haven't dropped.  Neither has her appetite!!  Below you can see her begging for cookies!!

Thursday nights I take a break and indulge myself with a little drama on the television.  I eat dinner on the couch, now with a Puggle under both arms, and I watch Grey's and Private Practice, back to back, with commercials!  Usually I record anything I sorta like and watch it when I can, but Thursday nights are the exception!  I've been watching both since the very beginning and I just can't give them up :)

What do you do on Thursday night?  A little TV drama addiction as well???

Happy Watching and a Happy Halloween as well ;)

Introducing Stella Belle {personal}

We have had Rupert for 3.5 years.  I can't believe how quickly the time has passed.  I still recall anxiously waiting on the baggage claim floor to see his little tiny head and hear his puppy squeak.  Well, Rupert was 2 hours late but not the least bit phased by the trip.  He reached his little pink tongue out of the crate and gently claimed my husband as his father.  He patiently waited to be let out of his crate and then walked out, totally calm and cool.  I then held him, all 6.5lbs, with his head against my heartbeat for the entire drive home.

Picking up Stella was completely different.  She was was right on time and arrived at the cargo building of Logan Airport.  A place with far less seats and glamor.  I was so nervous and the only comfort available to me was a Twix in a vending machine.  I decided to wait outside with Matt and my friend Nicole, who naively drove all the way up from Brooklyn to share in this experience of "bringing home baby" and the probable first night of endless crying.  I saw a little boy come running out of the door grasping every hair of his new pup..."His name is Rigby!"  Matt went up to the locked door where personal handed his a small crate.  Stella had arrived right on time and covered in poop.  I think we have and will continue to learn that this will continue to describe her personality in the days and months to come.  This time, Stella reached out her tongue and her painful chompers and said "Are you my mother"?  To which I picked her up, all 4.8lbs, and held her so close to my heartbeat...poop and all...and said yes.

Here she is, weighing in at 5.75lbs this morning, Miss Stella Belle Greene.

And here is Rupert being introduced to Stella.
 

Maia {portrait : swampscott, ma}

The next couple of weeks are going to be loaded with blog posts!  I had the busiest September EVER, full of beautiful weddings and stunning portraits.  I can't wait to get them up here.  But give me a few days haha.  I just got back from taking a mini vacation...I attended a fantastic workshop up in Gloucester, MA, I had my best friend up for a visit AND my husband and I welcomed another Puggle puppy in to our home.  Just wait 'til you see the pictures of her...ADORABLE! 

But right now it's Maia's time!  I met up with Maia and her parents for a morning shoot at the beach...My favorite.  Even though we had to play hopscotch around giant poison ivy bushes and got drenched by some unexpected waves...it made the day that much more fun! 

Enjoy!
