2020 was quite the year, but not in the way that any of us had imagined when it began. Rather than the exciting year we all had planned, we sheltered in place, wore masks, sanitized, quarantined, and found new ways to manage our daily lives in the midst of a global pandemic. The event industry was hit so incredibly hard, with most of us losing nearly our full calendar of weddings and events. It was a punch to the gut every time we read about another small business that had to close down because they were not able to weather this seemingly never-ending storm.
Best of 2018 {Massachusetts & New Hampshire Wedding, Event & Portrait Photographers}
What an amazing year this has been! Writing the end of year blog is always my favorite thing to do as it gives me another opportunity to revisit some of my favorite images we have taken this year…with some of our favorite people! As we look back on the year we have had we are so thankful for all of our amazing clients! We have had the pleasure of sharing some of your most important moments with you guys and it means the world to us that you had us capture them for you. This year we have shared so many laughs and emotional tears that is almost bittersweet that this year is coming to an end!
Atkinson Common, Newburyport MA {Massachusetts Family Photographer} The McCabe Family
The Atkinson Common is a gorgeous park tucked away in Newburyport and was the perfect spot for The McCabe Families photo session! My cousin Shawn, his wife Abby and their adorable son Logan played and laughed all around the park as we captured their photos. We often shoot families with small children and the parents will be so worried that their children aren't sitting still for photos.
Weir Hill North Andover, MA Family Photos {Massachusetts Family Photographer} The Tremblay Family
It has been several years since we first met with Samantha and Tom to discuss their wedding photography. Since then, we have been there to capture their engagement session, their gorgeous spring wedding, as well as two other weddings they have been in! Their family grew last year when they welcomed their beautiful twins, Mikey and Maddie, and we were thrilled to finally get the whole family in front of our camera!
Our Family Photos {Massachusetts Family Photographers} Stevens-Coolidge Estate North Andover, Massachusetts
While we were doing our Garden Minis at The Stevens-Coolidge Estate, we enlisted the help of my Mom to come and babysit our little man while we were doing other families sessions. Since we were all going to be there, we knew this was the perfect opportunity to do some of our pictures! As photographers, we spend so much time behind the camera we rarely get to be in a photo with all three of us unless its a quick iPhone snap. We got there early and chased our 1.5 year old son Tripp around the gardens and got some adorable photos of him, and with each of us.
Baby Mason's Christening {Massachusetts Event Photographer}
We have had the pleasure of knowing the Traverso family for a while now. Anthony moved in a few houses down from them when he was just 5 years old, so we were honored when Jen and her fiancé, Jonnie contacted us to shoot her son Mason's Christening. The adorable Mason was Baptized at St. Pat's in Lawrence surrounded by friends and family. Jen's sister Stephanie and Jonnie's close friend Chris were Mason's Godparents.
Tripp's Monthly Photos: Massachusetts Children's Photographers
When our son Anthony III was born {who we now call Tripp} our world changed into such an amazing new experience. We are so lucky to say that he is such an easy going, happy and fun baby. Even though we do not typically do newborn photos we decided to jump in and do our sons newborn photos and we love the way they turned out.
