Portraits Archive

Married for 40 years.

0 professional photos.

Their wedding photographer forgot to take any photos of just the two of them! Can you believe that?  Photography sure has changed since then!  I had such a great time getting to know Pete and Sharon, who are the parents of my bride, Tami.  Their favorite place in the world is Maui and own several time shares there. I can see why, Maui is just amazing.

How cute are they??

They mentioned one of their favorite activities was to sit on this bench with a glass of wine and watch the sunset!

Thank you for treating me as part of your family in Hawaii! I had so much fun.

How often do you get professional photos taken on your Honeymoon?!  Not very often, is my guess.  Well, Julie and Eric took advantage of the fact I was in town and booked me for what I call a Honeymoon shoot!  Julie was my wonderful bride, Tami’s bridesmaid.  She and Eric were married this past September and waited to have their honeymoon around Tami’s wedding – so sweet!  I had such a good time getting to know these two over the week. Julie and I totally bonded, I want to go visit them in Vermont soon!

These were all shot within walking distance of our hotel,  Papakea Resort.

My fav (and it was totally candid!) <3

Thanks you two for being up for anything I asked, including wading out in the water!

Mr A has decided he likes his role as International Mystery Man too much and wanted to stay anonymous on my blog….ooh so mysterious…

Instead you get to stare at the beautiful face of my best friend, Ann Marie!  The whole point of going to DC in March was to visit during the cherry blossom blooms!  So of course I wanted to take some portraits of a gorgeous couple!  Hope you enjoy these few teasers I can show you!

Love you two! Thanks for your hospitality!!

I thought today would be the most fitting day to post these two lovebirds’ maternity session.  It has been exactly one year today since their fantastic Vegas wedding!  I can say over and over again how much I adore these two.  I love when clients become friends!  Janice makes me laugh so much and Andrew is so kind and interesting, how could you not want to be friends with these two?  I would bet money their son will be making an appearance on this blog in the near future 😉

Love you both (oops I mean, love you three!)

Those who know me, know that I love to network!  I take after my Mother and can talk to pretty much anyone…and I do!  I first heard of Exquisite Blooms when my bride Sally hired her as the florist at her November wedding.  Then I found out I would be working with Sally (from Exquisite Blooms) again last month at Sara and Mike’s wedding and I knew I had to meet her!  Her work is beautiful!  She is total sweetheart too. We got to chat and shoot some fun, relaxed headshots for her website.

And just a few samples of her awesome work!

I had such a great time hanging out Sally! Let’s do it again soon!

xoxo, M
