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 Wedding Book! {stuff I love : products}

I am so excited to announce the arrival of The Wedding Book!  This baby is gorgeous!!!  But first, a note about what this book means to me.  It has taken me months to find this little gem.  I first met The Wedding Book about 6 months ago and right from the start I was pretty sure we were a match made in heaven.  But I stepped back and did a ton of research on album companies...bugged my photo friends, manhandled books at trade shows and ordered up samples like it's my job.  My husband was constantly asking if I could please just pick one and stick with it!  Well, honestly, it is my job, which means I will never offer something I don't LOVE!  So anyways...I LOVE this book...and I am absolutely certain you will too!

The Wedding Book: This 10X10 book is printed on soft, photographic paper that is mounted back to back for durable, yet flexible pages.  The Wedding Book is bound with a lay-flat binding...meaning there are no cuts, just a micro-fold.  The paper will not discolor or get all funky on you which makes it great for panoramic spreads!  It has a hard, linen textured cover that comes in seven fantastic colors.  The Wedding Book is personally designed to tell the story of your day and contains up to 20 full page spreads.  All books come with a super cute cloth dust-cover to protect your wedding book for years to come!!

Now, let me introduce to you, Jade & Tim...in Passion Pink!

Much Love,

Aubrey

Here are a few of the spreads!

Alyssa & Katie...ENGAGED!!! {brookline, ma}

So there is this amazing theater company in Boston called Company One.  If you haven't been to one of their shows...DO IT NOW!  They produce socially relevant theater that will always leave you wanting more.  I have volunteered there a few times and this is how I met Sasha.  Sasha is the fundraising/grant writing extraordinaire for Company One.  It was Sasha who introduced me to Alyssa & Katie!  Our shoot consisted of rain, sun and tons of clouds...but it also had rainbows...which is pretty awesome.  We did the e-shoot at the always fantastic, Larz Anderson Park in Brookline.  Alyssa & Katie are so full of love and laughter and they like to have fun.  I'm pretty sure I would love to do a shoot with them every weekend.  But alas...I must now wait until their wedding in April.  But I am also pretty sure it will be nothing short of amazing!

Congratulations on your engagement Alyssa & Katie!

Sneak Peek: Alyssa & Katie! {engagement}

One word...RAINBOW!  When I met up with Alyssa & Katie we were a bit concerned about the weather.  But as the time passed and a few drops fell, we got amazing moments like this! 

Just wait til you see the rest!!

 

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 ;)

Wedding Workshop: Harvard vs Yale {Gloucester, ma}

When I was a little kid I always said I was going to be a doctor.  I would sit in front of the television and watch medical shows until the cows came home.  As I got older, I dropped the doctor line and went with something equally as impressive like "I am going to go to Harvard."  At 16 I dragged my parents to Cambridge and toured the campus and it was then that I fell in love.  It was my home away from home with the H.H. Richardson buildings, lively downtown area and hippies...It really was just like Burlington, Vermont.  I even bought a sweatshirt...which I still have :)  But alas, I did not go to Harvard...I went to a school near Harvard and got a Professional Degree of Architecture.  Years later Harvard still held a special place in my heart and I seriously considered it for grad school.  But tons of unpaid loans from my first degree helped me focus on my other hobbies and interests and pointed me in a different direction.  A direction I have never been more sure about.  A direction that has filled me with so much happiness that I wake up every day on the brink of bursting...and isn't that a fun way to live?!  This decision also led me to the warm-hearted and enormously talented duo, Justin & Mary.  Two people that brought Harvard back in to my life through a preppy, vintage shoot full of ivy league rivalry.  Thanks to all the photogs who modeled and a big thank you to Lara Kimmerer and her fiance, Peter, for doing a practice run for the real 2011 wedding!  You two are GORGEOUS!

Enjoy :)
