On Saturday, my niece Natalie made her first communion...and she looked beautiful...she opted not to wear a veil and just wanted a rose in her hair...funny...her middle name is Rose...I cant believe how fast she is growing up and how beautiful she is...my little one looks just like her when Natalie was 3 months old...here are some pictures from that day...hope you enjoy....

I wish I could eat a Fenway Frank.....

2009-04-27T21:10:00.002-04:00

look how intense she is watching the game....

Sleepover 2009.....

2009-04-21T14:47:00.002-04:00

This past weekend, we dog sat for our favorite friend, Jewel....we just love her...we have known her since she was a little puppy and dempsey and mitzie just love to play with her...the weather was perfect for the dogs to play outside most of the days and I was able to grab some pictures of them...however, Jewel would of rather me throw the ball...then take her picture...

here is Jewel just relaxing after a long day of playing...

Demspey would have a tennis ball with him all the time...but no balls in the house...mom's rule...

Mitzie slept or sun bathed most of the time the others played...

Who let the dogs out......

2009-04-05T19:35:00.004-04:00

What a weekend....pictures everywhere..it started on Friday with a family session, this time I was on the other side of the camera...thanks again Eric Foley...then Saturday, Dempsey was the main attraction...he had some friends over to party like rock stars...well actually only some played around..others were a bit nervous with all of the different types of dogs there...but they all had fun...I think the ice-cream was the big hit...they all ate it down...Sophie wanted to eat the entire cup and all...thanks to everyone who came and also for the nice gifts...Dempsey loves them all...and so does Mitzie...here are some pictures of the day...I am sorry to say that I didn't get any picture of Jewel that I liked...but she is one of Dempsey's oldest friends...

Oliver and Cooper stayed by mom and dad's side most of the day...but we were so glad they came...

Sophie was a trooper...I don't think she stopped once...well maybe a few minutes to eat her ice-cream...

Thor was great...he is so gentle with all of the dogs...

Dempsey and Sophie ran for hours after the ball...

Dempsey enjoyed the rough house play he did with Thor...Dempsey is usually the biggest dog around....not next to Thor though...

Thanks again everyone for sharing in Dempsey special day...it meant a lot to him, me and Kenny...we have such great friends...stop by anytime...

10 years and still running strong...

2009-04-01T09:00:00.001-04:00

I can't believe that it has been ten years since he was trying so hard to jump on the bed.... but he was too small to reach...or when he used to put both front paws in the water bowl...and then tramp around the house...he looked just like scrappy-do when the day we brought him home...it is amazing the bond you can have with an animal...he just knows everything about me...we have been through a lot together and he never judged me...he only made me smile....

big plans are being made for this weekend..he will be having a birthday party on Saturday with 6 of his good friends...there will be pictures to follow...

Happy Birthday Dempsey..thank you for 10 great years...and never giving up on me....

Kids and Giggles.....

2009-03-23T20:30:00.000-04:00

it gets very tiring... playing with your friends

It bath time.....

2009-01-27T20:09:00.003-05:00

Alexandrea was able to take her first 'real' bath tonight since her umbilical cord finally fell off...she did a great job...she liked the water running on her while I was washing her up....she wasn't so fond of getting her hair washed, but she managed...I can't believe that she is already 3 weeks old...as of today...and she is changing everyday...since we are getting another snow storm tomorrow... and my husband will be working from home...I will set up a little fashion show / photo shoot ...she has so many adorable dresses and clothes that I would love to try on her...hope you enjoy the pictures....

See how she grows.....

2009-01-20T14:35:00.002-05:00

It has been 2 whole days where I have been alone with my baby girl...since my husband went back to work and my mom returned home....and I just love it...we do miss daddy...but we are having a great time...we sing songs...steal kisses...play with the puppies...eat and poop...I love how she changes everyday...and finds new things to do...such as playing with her tongue...putting her fingers in her mouth...
here are some images that we captured...my husband Kenny is becoming a great photographer...he loves to take her picture...

Motherhood...what a great ride

2009-01-14T16:13:00.003-05:00

What can I say...it has been a crazy but wonderful ride over the past 8 days...she is a blessing to our family and I can't stop looking at her...people kept telling me..."a child will change your life"...I always knew it would, but I didn't understand to what degree...she is all I think about and I drive myself crazy making sure I am doing the right things...thank god that my mother has been here to help me...she raised 4 girls on her own....WOW....I was able to take a few shots of her today while she was awake...little Miss Alexandrea loves to sleep...she has the biggest eyes and I love to kiss her mouth...she looks just like my husband...hope you enjoy.....

She found her mouth...now she can't stop putting her fingers in

I swear they keep growing....

SHE HAS ARRIVED......

2009-01-09T20:40:00.003-05:00

I know that it has been awhile since I have blogged...but I have good reason...her name is Alexandrea Mariesa Walpurgis...and she is my precious new love...She was born on January 6, 2009 at 2:38 a.m and she is just perfect...I have selected a few images that I was able to capture..being in the bed and a few my husband took because the nurse told me to focus on myself and put the camera down...I wanted to document every moment...and she was a great model...her official photo shoot will be this weekend and I will be posting that soon...thank you to everyone that called or wrote on my facebook...my family really appreciates it...hope you enjoy...

laying on mommy's chest...

my first look at my daughter....

she loved lying under the warmers...

my daughter's first look at me...it just melts my heart....

Alexandrea's first bath...she love the water running on her head...

But not so much the washing of her hair....

She has HUGE feet...maybe soccer player or a foot model...who knows....

Ending 2008 in style.....

2009-01-01T22:18:00.004-05:00

WOW...I can't believe that 2009 is here and I have so much to look forward too...A baby is right around the corner...I can actually count the days on my 2 hands...well that is if she wants to come out on time...I am also excited about the decision I made to follow my dream of becoming a photographer...I have some things lined up for the next couple of months...however...my main focus will be on my little girl...I can't wait to meet her....

Well 2008 was a great year...I did some amazing things in both my personal life and with my photography...I shared some great times with friends and family and also made some new friends along the way...I love that...making friends...it reminds me that there are good people still out there...and I also had great opportunities to be involved in beautiful weddings and just capturing moments for the people that I love....Hope everyone had a great New Year..here are some images of mine and my husbands favorite game....Mexican train...we had some friends come over and had a blast...CHEERS 2009......

Winter Wonderland....

2008-12-26T23:04:00.006-05:00

I have to say...I am not the best in the winter...I don't ski or snowboard...I hate when my hands or feet are cold...and runny noses...I HATE THEM...but I do think it is beautiful when it snows...how the white just covers everything and brings a peaceful setting to it...I was able to capture these pictures during the storm over the past week or so....one is from my bedroom window at my neighbors house and the other is in Northampton...I was just driving down a street...this is why I always carry my camera with me...you just never know...hope you enjoy.....

A day in the life of Dempsey and Mitzie....

2008-12-21T16:21:00.010-05:00

Since I couldn't or should I say wouldn't leave my house again for the third day in a row...let it snow....let it snow...let it snow...I went through some pictures I have of my puppy dogs...even though they are 10 and 8 years old...they will always be puppy dogs to me....and put together this collage...

We take our dogs every where with us...well where ever dogs are allowed...Martha's Vineyard is probably the funnest for us...this was where Mitzie ( the little one) went into the water for the first time...she did well, even though she hates taking a bath...she still swam around...well as for Dempsey...I can't seem to get him out of the water or snow or anything he can play in...he loves to play frisbee or ball...anything he can catch and bring back for you to throw it again, and again, and again...

They are like two peas in a pod..they are always together, when they eat, sleep and play...my husband and I were grateful that they hit it off so well...they met each other only 3 years ago...but you would think they grown up together...hope you enjoy the pictures...

Jesse and Kate's Wedding.....

2008-12-19T09:00:00.001-05:00

Well since I have been stuck in the house all day... because I live in New England and when it snows...it snows...I think we are already at 2 feet... I decided to think back to a beautiful day in October when the weather was almost 80 degrees and the leaves have turned into perfect reds and oranges..and the bride and groom were amazingly funny and rearing to have a great time...

thank you Jesse and Kate for having myself and Katie Slater share in your wedding day...we had a great time and your family and friends were so much fun to be around...we could see the love between you two and as could the rest of your guest...may your love grow stronger everyday....

The girls needed something to relax them...why not a shot...CHEERS...

Dalila and Knuckles were the hit of the day...and very well behaved....

They were having so much fun on the dance floor...they needed to end it with a dip..

This was one of my favorites....

Maternity Shoot.....

2008-12-18T16:19:00.004-05:00

Well the doctor says I only have about 3 weeks left...can you believe how time just flies by...this is going to be mine and my husbands first child and we are so excited to become parents...I am already getting used to this not sleeping thing...since I go to the bathroom every 2 hours...so since the day is approaching quickly....I thought I needed to get some pictures taken to remember this moment...so I called Miss Katie Slater, who was able to capture these beautiful images...thank you so much Katie...you are a great friend and a amazing photographer...

Please check out her blog for more pictures....

Little sister all grown up....

2008-12-16T20:04:00.003-05:00
