The Dempseys

This is one of my favorite shoots that I’ve done so far. The lighting, the backgrounds, their outfits and their cuteness just makes these pictures look so amazing! This was a couples/maternity shoot as it was planned to be done on their wedding anniversary and showcase Kristen’s *tiny* 9 month baby bump! Can you seriously believe that on that day of the shoot she was 9 months pregnant on the dot!? That means the 40 week period should be right about now! We’ll find out soon whether they’re having a boy or a girl but until then, feel free to admire and adore this awesomely cute couple. They had me feeling like I was photographing a spread for L.L. Bean with all the nautical elements!

The Giguere Family : Glastonbury, CT

Behold; the first members of my family to have their pictures taken with me as k.ariel photography! I was so excited to be able to photograph my brother, sister-in-law and adorable nephew because I know how fun and photogenic they are! Only one problem arose: this shoot was in November and my brother was participating in “movember”- a full month of not shaving your facial hair for men to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer. While I appreciate the support he has given, it did not make for easy editing to make him have his normal facial hair back! Thanks bro!

The B Family

A while ago Katy contacted me about doing family portraits. As time got closer for the date of the shoot we realized that the weather was going to play a key element in where we took the pictures. We were planning on outside, but with the fall being much colder than it has in the past few years, we had to resort to taking the pictures at their home so everyone could stay warm in between pictures. Not to mention they just moved here from the west coast so their children weren’t used to this kind of weather! It was a very bitter fall day but their backyard proved to be a great place for pictures! She had sent me pictures via her cell phone ahead of time, but when I got there I was pleasantly surprised. With an old wooden railing, big field, tall grass and old trees it was a photographer’s dream! Her and her husband sure do have their hands full with their four energetic children and it was a fun time photographing this great young family!

The Coster Family : Falmouth, MA

A few months back I offered a free “military couple” style shoot to the Cape Cod Coastie Spouses and Autumn was the winner! It took a couple months to get a date solidified and we finally got it to work this past Sunday which happened to be Veteran’s Day! Pretty awesome to photograph a beautiful couple and their two A.DOR.A.BLE children on a day that salutes to what Jon does every day! We branched off of the military shoot to also have regular family pictures and a few Christmas themed shots too. To be honest, I might have driven off with the two cuties had it not been for the fact that we were the only people at the location so it would have been pretty obvious…

Anyways, like all of the Coastie couples that I have worked with, these two are very, VERY much in love with each other and work so well as a team! They and their children got changed into three different outfits in a car in record time and the little ones were so well-behaved! A perfect little good-looking family! Check ’em out!

I couldn’t decide which one was my favorite. These two are just too cute with each other!ImageImage

Matt and Stephanie : married 7.14.12 : Sturbridge, MA

This was the second wedding that I photographed with Heritage Photography at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA. I loved everything about this venue. The old, historic buildings added a nice rustic charm, while the gardens and tented reception offered a more casual but romantic touch. Matt is a family friend (he was the best man in my brother’s wedding!) so it was a family affair for the Giguere family! My brother and sister were part of the wedding party and my mother and I photographed their amazing wedding day!
