Little girls at age ten....i'm currently enduring one now, and it is quite an adventure to be certain. There are days when she is so sweet and carefree, and other days when she blows my mind with her wisdom.  And then there are the glimpses into teenagedom.  *sigh*.  Mary is a close friend to my daughter and is one of the sweetest girls I know.  She has such a sweet laugh and a lot of that carefree nature that hopefully won't disappear in years to come.  Such a fun time to be a girl!

So many things to be thankful for!  I just love the people I get to work with...especially when I get to see them numerous times over the years.  Being trusted by families to document such important life events means so much to me!  This is the third time I've been able to work with Megan, from her sister's wedding to a family session, and now her engagement. We had such a fun time down on the waterfront.  And, apparently, this is my 201st post of the blog!  It's hard to believe I've been at it this long.  Thanks to everyone who has been part of this adventure :).

I met these two at Aubrey and Jon's wedding back in July, and they hired me shortly thereafter...they are getting married next September and having their reception at the Connecticut Street Armory, which thrills me to no end.  For their engagement session, they wanted to re-enact a typical date that they often go on, starting at the Naval Park, not far from their downtown apartment.  It was a gorgeous morning, and there were tons of people out jogging and taking in the sun- it was wonderful to see people enjoying their city!

I was really in love with the way that the sweetness of Ellen and Chris contrasted with the lines of the ships' ropes and all of the industrial metal...

They both wanted to take a break on this bench...the one on which Chris proposed to Ellen!
