Andi & Warren Newborn Lifestyle Session

Meet Andi & Warren! After spending two weeks in the NICU, these preemie twins made their way home healthy and we did an in-home lifestyle session when they were around 2 months old.

Meet Andi & Warren! After spending two weeks in the NICU, these preemie twins made their way home healthy and we did an in home newborn lifestyle session when they were around 2 months old.

On the day of our shoot, Andi & Warren took turns falling asleep and being alert and giving me (and mom and dad) beautiful baby eye contact. I love that we were able to incorporate photos of them with their parents too. Check out a recap of our time together below!

Also, see my helpful blog post on what to wear to your portrait session if you’re planning an in-home newborn session.

Paige and Eric's Wedding (Grafton, VT)

Paige & Eric chose Grafton Inn in Grafton, VT for their cozy winter wedding. They got married on leap day of 2020 so this wedding was one of the last "normal" events any of us attended for quite a long time.

Paige & Eric chose The Grafton Inn in Grafton, Vermont for their cozy winter wedding. They got married on leap day of 2020 so this wedding was one of the last "normal" events any of us attended for quite a long time.

One of my favorite aspects of this wedding was all of the family history they incorporated into the day. Paige was the 4th bride in her family to wear her wedding gown. Before her, it was worn by her mother, her grandmother and her great grandmother (and never altered). Due to its age and the lace sleeves, the dress was extremely delicate and took the help of Paige’s mother, grandmother and twin sister to safely get her into it.

It also created a need for special accommodations while navigating the dirt driveway during Vermont mud season.

Paige and Eric’s day was such a special one and made for a great “last hurrah” before all of the weirdness of 2020 began. Congratulations, you two!
