I’ve been told I have a knack for finding locations no matter where I am. This day was no different. We stumbled across this abandoned barn when I got a little lost on the way to the reception.

I fell in love with this location… that pink door was made for Kaitlyn.

I loved everything about this wedding. Especially Kaitlyn’s shoes… who wouldn’t look at those sparkly Kate Spade pumps! Seriously… favorite wedding shoes EVER!

I just had to include this last shot… I can’t remember why they were making this face. Probably when I told them I was done for the night .  Anyway it was too cute not to include.

Thank you Kaitlyn and Justin for choosing barebonephoto to be a part of your wedding day.

Their first look…….

Meghan and Alex, thank you for having us document your amazing day!

Emma+the barebonecrew!

I can’t believe my son Henry is 9 months old! It seems like just yesterday I was shooting my last wedding with a giant belly and swollen feet.

He has to be one of the easiest babies……he sleeps/eats and giggles.  { you can cross off the sleeping…..he has had a relapse in the last couple of days. Oh and the teething……his last episode had all four top teeth come in….that was fun. }

His latest development is crawling and couch surfing. I knew this day was coming and I have been dreading it. Up until now I’ve been able to plop him down in one spot and get some work done.

But now…….not so much work. I try to get a bit done everyday. Check a one or two things off my list.

So as promised I will now admit that I am not a super mum! { To check out waht I’m talking about go to my fellow Photographer Chenin’s  blog post }

I routinely go until 2pm without showering. I eat my son’s left over banana cereal because I don’t have time to make my own. I secretly fantasize about running away for a couple days just to get some work done. I keep trying to give my son a soother hoping that one day……..he will take it back and I will no longer be his personal pacifier. I could go on.

I thought being a wedding photographer was action packed…….I had no clue what being a mum would require a degree in Psychology and 6 months cardio training.

I love my son. Henry has brought more joy to my life in 9 months than my entire 35 years has given me. But he sure does keep me on my toes.

And now I must run because he is just about to pull the tray out of the blueray player and my loving husband will have a heart attack.

Enjoy the pictures…….

Now for some out takes……

Crawling is making this harder.

Sometimes he isn’t even in the shot. I want to get this one as a HUGE canvas for Henry’s wall.

Like I said I have about 3.5 seconds to get the shot now.

Just a few more shots from Jilda’s belly shoot.

It’s always fun to have a yoga lover in the studio.

This next one is a favorite of mine…..

and end scene……

Maria and Sanju recently welcomed Desmond in the world.

He is is one of the smallest, most sweet little babies I have ever had the pleasure to photograph.

His little squawks melt my heart.

Shhhhhh….he’s sleeping!

Maria I cannot belive you had a baby days before these pictures were taken……you looked stunning!

This is one of my favorite shots……a fathers look….a mothers touch…and a half smile.

I love little baby feet!

Thank you Maria, Sanju and Desmond for welcoming me into your home.

It was an honor to capture the first days of your new life together.
