I’d be willing to bet you remember Ashley and Paul from their bump session I posted back in November. Well, since then their little bundle of joy arrived and just in time for the holidays! Ashley and Paul had me over to their beautiful home to capture this handsome little addition to their family. I absolutely love doing shoots with these guys because Ashley has everything all set and is so great at styling these shoots. They really make me look good! I couldn’t be happier for them and look forward to sharing more future sessions with them! I know you’ll enjoy these! Ashley and Paul, thank you again and congrats to you both!! Happy Holidays to you all!

Peace,
JP

Last time we saw Ashley and Paul this is where we left off..

We’ll set it off with easily my favorite from the whole session.. So awesome.

How cute is he?

A couple Mom n Dad shots..

The Christmas image. So cute..

The family..

I love this one.

I’m not one to blog detail shots of a babies room but this was the coolest I’ve ever seen. Not you’re typical pink or blue baby room.

Another one of my favorites..

How perfect are those feet?

Props to him for hanging in there this long!

One last image.. congrats again to you guys!

Ok I’m excited to share this newborn shoot with you all! This family is special to me. Thru my lens I’ve grown to know them well. We shot their wedding back in 2005 before I was even blogging! Then in September of 2008 their beautiful daughter Meara was born. That year, I documented little Meara’s first year of life. Then I photographer her again and again and yes again. On that last session Meara told me she was having a baby. I was so excited for this family. Now, onto Avery Clare. She’s the new baby in the house. Jennifer, Patrick and Meara welcomed her with open arms! Thanks again for having me capture your family and congrats!!!!!

Fall of 2005.. in fact Avery came 6 years later to the date of their wedding! How cool?

Where we last left off with Meara..

Now she’s so pumped to have a little sister in her life..

I love photographing this kid!

So precious..

Someones going to be a big help to Mom..

So cute.

I love how serious Meara is in this one..

Patrick, and his little girls..

The star of the show!

:)

I love the little smile.. 5 days old and smiling..

I love this one..

One more.. I’m stealing this chair by the way..

Anyone who’s been visiting this blog since November of 2008 might recognize a frequent commented named Mona. Mona is our #1 blog stalker of all time. I actually did a blog post on her back in August of 2009 to introduce everyone to her. Then later that year I photographed and blogged her and Andrew’s engagement session. A couple months after that they tied the knot and you know we were there for that! In fact that was two years yesterday! Happy Anniversary Mona and Andrew!! You also might remember a fun post Mona did last year called “Mona’s top 13“. Ok so now that we’re caught up lets get you caught up with Mona and Andrew!

Mona and Andrew are excepting a little girl in the months ahead. Mona actually teased the news in a blog comment a while back. I didn’t even catch on. I typically just see a comment come in from her and click approve and then read them later. Mona and I have become friends over the years, we’re always texting and what not but one day I received a phone call. Mona wanted to deliver the news to me that her and Andrew were expecting. I was super excited when I found out and my next question was “So, are we going to capture the bump? I mean we kind of have to keep your yearly appearances up on the blog”.  That brings us to the images below. Mona was traveling from NYC to Boston for some medical conference and made a pit stop in Albany for about two hours just for these photos. It was a rainy and cold night too! Not pouring rain but misty light rain. We only had one chance to capture these so we went for it. I love that Mona and Andrew have yet another chapter of their lives captured by us! As always Mona, it’s a pleasure. You’re an awesome person and I can’t wait to see you and Andrew holding that little girl. Congrats again!!

Peace,
JP

Yup. So here’s the bump..

A nice b&w..

I just love the tones in this one…

Another favorite from this set..

A mini blog stalker in the making.. a Mini Mona! ;)

I love the white… so simple and showed the form perfectly.

This is easily my favorite one. I just love it.

New outfit..

It was raining here and super duper dark but it worked!

One more… to be continued when Mini Mona arrives. ;)

Ok one more. I was obviously having a bad hair day lol.. How awesome are those big eyes?

When Ashley approached me about capturing her and Paul at one of their happiest times in life I was pumped. I knew it would be a stylish and fun session! I decided we should shoot at The Historic Barns at Nipmoose because I love this place. How could you not love this location? I always come home with great images. Anyway to say Ashley and Paul had their stuff together in terms of wardrobe and whatnot would be an understatement. I can’t wait to see how they bring it at their newborn session! Keep stalking the blog because that should be happening sometime later this month and I can’t wait to work with these two again. Congrats to you both and thanks for choosing me to document your most happiest of times!

Peace,
JP

Meet Ashley, Paul and the bump

Some amazing light in the aspen grove..

Beautiful.

My favorite spot at Nipmoose. The corn crib!

Love this spot.

Ashley, you look amazing.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that child will have mad style.

I like this one.

One with the Scottish Barn in the background.

Now inside that barn..

The image that received more “wow” comments on facebook than any other I’ve ever posted. I too can only say WOW!

So pretty.

The b&w in this space always looks incredible.

Ashley, you’re stunning.

Thanks again guys. Can’t wait to meet you baby, I know he or she will be beautiful.
