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

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!

Today was my first Saturday without a wedding or portrait shoot in a really long time...and I have to say it's been pretty amazing.  I watched some football (Michigan wasn't on so I had to watch UCONN...), went for a really long walk with Rupert (where he got to hang with his GF Emma), got a newly acquired piece of art framed and ate some more kettle corn from the giant bag of it that I got at The Big E on Wednesday.  

Last weekend I got to do a portrait shoot with Maia!  Maia is a very serious little girl, but every once in a while she loves to share a giggle or two.

Enjoy!

And here's a little bonus...Matt with the GIANT bag of popcorn!

Happy Tuesday!!  It has been a humid couple of days, but I'm not going to complain...before you know it the leaves will be falling and snow will be piling up...ok maybe I'm getting ahead of myself...  But right now I'm going to savor the warmth and every moment that I get to go to the beach.  This brings me to The Allen Family!  We met up for their shoot in the historic Salem Willows Park.  Lily is really interested in trucks right now and the town was holding a Tour A Truck event so of course we had to go!  She climbed in, bounced on the over-sized seats and honked all the horns!  When that was done we headed down to the beach where we ALL got a little wet!

Thanks for a fantastic afternoon of cheerios and giggles!

I love Facebook!  ...and I am not ashamed to admit it :)  Facebook has helped me promote my business, saved me tons of money on my phone bill and helped to keep the entire world up to date on my every footstep...it doesn't get better than that!  But you know, my favorite part of Facebook is getting back in touch with old friends.  Which brings me to today's SNEAK PEEK!  I went to high school with Tricia and Chris and through Facebook I found out that they had gotten married, moved to the Bay State AND had a beautiful baby girl named Lily.  So when I announced (on Facebook!) that I was now doing family shoots, she immediately sent me a message.  I have so many favorites from this day and I can't wait to post them all, but for now here are a couple teasers!

Enjoy!

Beach Day! {kid portraits: marshfield, ma}

I was almost going to call this post "Wonder Woman" but then realized that so-called Wonder Woman was in none of the pictures I was posting...only the offspring of Wonder Woman were...Anyways...

My fellow photog Anne, invited me to join her on a shoot she was doing for her friend Julie.  Anne said it was going to be at the beach and I said SIGN ME UP!  Now, I'm not really a lay on the beach and tan kind of girl (I'm as pasty as it comes!) but I am a photograph on the beach kind of girl!  Little did I know that Julie, also known as Wonder Woman, was going to show up in a giant SUV filled with children...four children...under the age of 6...I went into panic mode!  Anne told me to breathe...  As we shot there were a couple injuries and a few cry sessions, but Julie was as cool as a cucumber the whole time!  I was so impressed :)

Julie, here are your four beautiful children!
