I met Deecember and Chris a few years back and they are the type of couple that make you feel comfortable as soon as you meet them. We have been seriously planning a winter photo session with their dog, Slate for going on two years now! Snow pictures are always unpredictable and we knew that there would be snow everywhere from the Blizzard we had a few Tuesdays ago, but nobody predicted the storm we got the following Saturday. The snow gracefully collected on the tree branches and since we were  the few brave ones out that day, it was so wonderfuly quiet.  I love how dreamy some of these pictures turned out and so I couldn’t help but post a few of my favorites on the blog.

Hello JEM blog world!  We are so sorry to all of our dedicated blog stalkers that our blogs have been so far and few between.  It’s been a very busy few months here at JEM.  We thank everyone for such a great holiday and wedding season.  We are REALLY behind on blogs so we are just going to pick up where we left off.  I wanted to start with a shoot I did back in October.  Yes, you read that right, October!  It was the most perfect fall afternoon with some of my favorite JEM girls. For those of you that know me, I’m a sucker for a cute jean jacket and these girls immediately won me over with their oh-so-cute jean jackets.  Why do I love jean jackets you ask?  Not sure.  Probably because it reminds me of everything awesome about the 80′s, Bryan Adams playing on my tape player and country fields…anyway, these girls sported the jean jackets just perfect for these pics.  Love it!

I also need to give a big shout out to Lynn from Pollynn Flowers.  She made the ADoRabLE flower crowns the girls are wearing at the end of this blog.  If you are in need of flowers for a party, wedding or someone special, Pollynn is the place to go.  Lynn is amazingly talented and creative in all things flowers!  Thanks Lynn and Pollynn for supplying the super cute crowns! {www.pollynn.com}

Ben makes me {Happy}

November 29th, 2010

Meet this lovable little boy…or remeet him since he was on our blog over the summer (Ben’s curly smile). Ben has that baby soft skin and hair that makes me want to pet his head every time he comes near me.  I have a tendency to pet baby’s heads and find their hair irresistible, of [...]

Meet this lovable little boy…or remeet him since he was on our blog over the summer (Ben’s curly smile). Ben has that baby soft skin and hair that makes me want to pet his head every time he comes near me.  I have a tendency to pet baby’s heads and find their hair irresistible, of course Ben is no exception.  We met on one of the last warm days of Fall, I am afraid to say I don’t think we will be getting anymore abnormally warm days. We met right around 4:00 when the sun is doing it’s magical work and casting out the golden hues in these photos below.  Ben played with whatever was in front of him, whether it was a ladder or a twig-it didn’t matter to him.  Eric met up with Heather and Ben towards the middle of our shoot and it was perfect for me to grab a few family pictures. I can’t say it enough: I love capturing the love of family.

So I could write a book on this family and their personalities from Sammy the youngest to Alisha and Josh who started it all :)   Traditional is the last word that comes to mind and this I love…I love how each individual child is just that: an individual.  I never came from a big family but I have an awesome career that lets me get to know families and the dynamics that make them unique.  We started this photo shoot at Josh’s parents house and it was beautiful! The rows of yellow maples and the red cabin that was built years ago made a great place to photograph. Having this many children there is NEVER a dull moment. EVER. Ha! Energy thrived from one child to the next and when we were trying to get a picture of them huddled together, the tackling effect really brought a lot of excitement.  The next stop after this was to a field up the road that was a perfect backdrop for the two youngest to have a tea party. These two girls were soooo excited.  Something here reminded me of when I was a little girl. I could color for hours as a child but if my mom joined me and colored with me it was one of the best feelings to have her next to me.  So when Evelyn and Sammy were having the tea party and their mom joined them…it was pure joy.  Alisha and Josh-the two of you are not only incredible people you are absolutely incredible parents.

Extra Note: During the tea party it was an oddly warm night and it started raining one of those warm rains (this was three weeks ago) and I loved how we stayed out there while Josh adamantly exclaimed, it will pass.  It only lasted about 2 minutes of light sprinkling and we continued on with slightly damp hair.  This of course, made this a little extra special for the girls :)

Get ready for some of the sweetest children in the world! I have been able to watch these two grow up since Giada was a baby and when I saw them a couple weeks ago for their annual photo session, Giada grabbed my hand immediately, looked up at me with her big, glassy brown eyes  and started jumping up and down.  Talk about a nice introduction! She is also talking up a storm and this little one loves her fruit snacks, right Jackie and Matt?  Then there is my buddy  Luke. Luke belly laughed until tears were in his eyes.  He made up stories about Clifford doing cartwheels on my head and just couldn’t control the laughing.  He had me in tears too-it was so contageous.  Can’t you just hear him laughing in these??  I was laughing The best thing about these two is how they interact, a little playful love but Luke let’s his sister give him kisses on the cheek even if he does wipe it off immediately afterwords :)
