…a Mama’s love. I had THE BEST time at Mother’s Day Mini’s last weekend! It was a day filled with love, laughter, silliness, cuddles, playing, joking, running, and treating this group of mother’s like the rock stars they are 
You may know that I don’t do mini-sessions very often. Hardly ever, in fact. But I think that this will become a Mother’s Day tradition!
There’s nothing quite like…

Spring Fling
04.13.12
Every time I photograph an event for The Mother Connection, I find myself having as much as the party-goers themselves! The Spring Fling last week was no exception. With the help of a rockin’ dj, fun games and yummy food, everyone had a blast celebrating the beginning of Spring in New England!

I love albums.
03.29.12
Often, clients ask me for guidance in choosing the best way to display the photos from their sessions. After all, it’s no easy fete; whittling down a gallery of images to just a few canvases and prints can be agonizing! That’s why I love albums so much. They can remain on display as a coffee-table book long after the wall displays have been rotated out for more recent images. Albums can include ALL of the images from a session, helping to convey the full “story” of a family.
The albums I offer are true pieces of art. The luxurious covers are customized to each client’s personal taste, and include a center photo that is printed ON METAL! It looks as cool as it sounds. Of course, the pages are very thick – sturdy enough to withstand even enthusiastic little fingers.
Some of my favorite covers are vibrant, bold and make a major statement no matter where they are displayed. I was so in love with this beauty that I was almost sad to say goodbye when I handed it over to its rightful owner! Of course, watching her face as she looked through it for the first time made it all worthwhile

Picnic in the Park
03.26.12
As I drove away at the end of this session, I realized that I had a goofy smile plastered on my face. It had been such an amazing evening, from start to finish.
Mom and I put a lot of effort into planning…not only the perfect clothing, location, and accessories, but also activities that would make the session an amazing experience. Because I honestly believe that the best photos not only look great, but also bring back beautiful memories of happy times.
So they brought a delicious picnic dinner (complete with champagne for the grownups!) and we took the time for them to actually eat and enjoy it. Then, Dad and his little boy broke out their guitars and rocked out some Adele for us. In between, we blew bubbles, took a walk, and the kids enjoyed some cuddle time with their parents.
My hope is that years from now, when they look back through this album of images, they will remember the joy they felt and the love they shared together. As a family. An amazing, unique, fantastic young family.

Oops! I just realized that I haven’t posted my 365 pics for a few weeks now. Life has been pretty crazy! I’ll keep the words to a minimum and just let the photos show you what we’ve been up to.

Project 365 – Week 9
03.11.12
We dodged the stomach bug and flu for a long time this winter, but sickness finally caught up with us last week. As awful as it was to see Hudson so miserable, I’ll admit that I did enjoy the extra snuggles and love. He’s growing up so fast that sometimes it takes me by surprise that he still needs his mommy’s hugs and kisses to make things feel better.
Of course, as soon as his fever broke, his independent nature took over once again and he taught himself to snorkel. I swear he’d wear that snorkel gear to the dinner table if I let him!

Project 365 – Week 8
03.06.12
The beach? In February? Really? This winter is certainly not the norm, but we are loving it! Last week’s highlights included:
*Outlet shopping with Grammy
*Making projects at Lowes
*The boys spending a night at Grammy and Grampy’s house
*Ollie pretending to be a big brother
I’m starting to look forward to daily pics that include some green leaves and flowers soon…

Snow Day
03.04.12
We finally got some snow this week, and the boys certainly made the most of it! They were clamoring at the door from the second they woke up, excited to make snowmen and go sledding. Unfortunately, they were both feeling under the weather and we had to limit the outdoor excursions…but they were still able to squeeze in a lot of fun

Snow Princess
03.01.12
We were inside admiring E’s perfect little pout when the snow started to fall. And I just couldn’t resist!
We bundled and wrapped, prepped and practiced, then whipped the little snow princess outside for my favorite shots of the day. We haven’t really had any snow this winter, which makes me even more grateful that we were able to get outside for this!
I was so in love with the look of the falling snow that I grabbed some shots of my own boys out there today. Next year I’m going to figure out a way to schedule some snow sessions! They would have to be rather last minute, but wow – wouldn’t they be beautiful?

Pancakes with Dad
02.23.12
When I was pregnant for the first time, my mind was flooded with images of my anticipated future. I pictured tentative, wobbly first steps, imagined hearing “I love you” whispered from tiny lips, and could almost feel the joy of a big bear hug before sending my little boy off to school. One thing that I never considered was how much love I would feel just from watching my husband be a daddy to his little boys.
Few things in my life are as sweet as walking into the family room to find the three of them cuddled up on the couch reading together. Or watching the boys’ faces light up when they hear their Daddy’s car pull into the driveway. Even just observing how casually and comfortably they all show affection through hugs and laughter…and, of course the occasional wrestling (they are boys, after all) never fails to bring a smile to my lips.
That’s why I like to celebrate each February with a photo session dedicated to these special guys in my life. Looking back at LAST YEAR’S images, I’m amazed by how far we’ve come! Oliver has grown from a crawling, drooling, happy little baby into a running, jumping, giggly little boy. Hudson is now so grown up that he attempted to read the menu himself. I know that in the grand scheme of things, they are still just babies; and yet, I am pleading with time to slow down a little bit, so I can soak in all of the goodness that these three boys bring to my life.
***These images were all taken at the awesome GROVELAND DINER. Not only is the food there amazing, but they didn’t even mind that I moved around just about every piece of furniture in the place! At least, they *said* they didn’t mind…

Lena (Live Love Laugh Photos) says: Oh Sarah - these are so wonderful! Love Love Love the images and how happy the boys and your husband look! You are doing such a great job capturing these memories! on 02.24.12 @ 9:01 am
Project 365 – Week 6
02.18.12
This winter has been incredibly warm so far, and we are taking full advantage of it by getting outside every chance we get! Last week, we even did a little experiment with various toy planes. Hudson and I made predictions about which ones would fly fastest and farthest, then we headed outside to test our hypotheses. He (and I) loved it!
In other news this week:
*Oliver is getting more interested in books every day. It made me so happy and proud to walk into his room to find him “reading” to all of his stuffed friends.
*Hudson spent hours addressing and decorating valentines for his friends and family
*Oliver learned to ride his first trike (and was so proud that he refused to take his helmet off for hours!)
