Atlanta & Jake – having a baby boy!

I apologize in advance, I’m going to be biased in this post. I can’t help it. This is my sister-in-law and her husband and I am head over heels in love with these pictures of them! I mean, I’m patting myself on the back for the way these came out. Have you ever seen a more radiant pregnant lady?? And check out Jake’s genuine, authentic smile in 99% of these shots. It screams “I’m so excited to be a daddy!” 

My favorite part; eh, no ok scratch that, I enjoyed the whole shoot. The part that warmed my heart the most was when it came time for Atlanta’s solo shoot. Jake is so proud to be married to such a beautiful momma to be! He was excited to get shots of the belly sticking out and the hands-making-a-heart shot… that was his idea! 

I love these two people as a couple and they are going to make AMAZING parents. Can’t wait to meet this baby boy! A few more weeks and counting!!

Toy Maternity : Sandwich, MA

This Coastie couple are expecting their first child this spring; a baby boy to start their new journey as a family! We met at Dexter’s Grist Mill in Sandwich, MA on what was supposed to be a warm(ish), sunny day but turned out to be cloudy and very cold! But they didn’t let it bother them and they braved the entire shoot without jackets on while I shivered in my North Face! Here’s to warmer weather for when baby Jackson is born!

I’m trying out my new editing software that my husband bought me as a surprise gift so take a look at my “new look”!

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!

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!
