BABY JOE CAKE SMASH

I mentioned in yesterdays engagement blog that we had back to back shoots at Knox Farm State Park. Well, here is the first shoot with baby Joe and his first birthday cake smash!

Everything about this little guy is adorable. From that outfit, to that face covered in green frosting. Baby Joe was such a joy to photograph. His cake had an outdoor theme, with a chocolate dirt road for his race cars to go on. Those cars were the kicker for baby Joe to go for the cake. After he had a taste and got used to the frosting, he became more interested in the cake. And let me just say, it tasted amazing. We all had a little bite!

Now it was time to stand and explore a little. You never know what kids are going to do, especially when a bunch of grown adults are making fools of themselves to get laughs. Baby Joe stood up and gave us this great pose! Look how cute he is with that little hat! So much fun!

STABLES AT KNOX FARM!

Let's show you one more from Rori and Marc's engagement session at Knox Farm State Park!

This was taken at a part of the park we really never explored before. It was done at some horse stables. This area had a nice and rustic feel. Just what Rori and Marc were looking for. The pups were tagged out for this photo and hanging out with me, while Neal took advantage of this area. 

We had Marc lean in toward Rori for a nice, romantic moment. We wanted them to feel like they were all alone in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, all the dogs had eyes directly on mom and dad for this one. It was pretty funny. I am so happy Neal was able to get this beautiful image. Those cute dogs were such a distraction. We just wanted to play the whole time!

A HAPPY GREYHOUND FAMILY AT KNOX FARM!

I mentioned in yesterday's blog, that Rori and Marc drove up this weekend with their 3 dogs for an engagement shoot at Knox Farm State Park.

Here are the 3 pups! Meet Gardenia, Ike, and Chloe (I hope I spelled the names right)! They were such great dogs. They were so calm and lovable.

We took a little walk trough the Park and found some tall grass. We had the whole family in the tall grass, while Neal took the photos through the grass. It's always tough with pets, especially to get them to look at the camerat the same time. And this time, we had to get the attention of 3 dogs! I would say we all did a good job! 

I love the lighting in this photo. I love the golden color that was cast on Rori and Marc! We told Rori and Marc to not pay attention to the dogs either. We would take care of that.

It was such a fun shoot with the dogs. They definitely got a workout and were fast asleep as soon as they got back to the car!

SUNSET AT KNOX FARM

Rori and Marc drove in from Boston this past weekend with their 3 dogs for their engagement session at Knox Farm State Park. 

We will be shooting their wedding in Boston in August! This was our first meeting in person as well with Rori and Marc. We all hit it off great! We had so much fun with them. Rori told us their style and Knox Farm was the ticket!

This image was the last series of the night. The sun was setting and we were getting some amazing colors in the sky. Neal wanted to do some silhouettes. He had Rori and Marc take a nice long walk up on this hill. After that, Neal tells me I need to head that way to give them directions! I then started my slow jog over haha.

We had Marc take Rori by the hand and lead her on a casual walk! This image really wasn't edited either. The only thing Neal had to do was remove me from the photo. I had nowhere to hide on this one. But I will say, my silhouette looked like a creepy apparition from the X-Files.

We can't wait for Rori and Marc's wedding!

Chasing the light at Knox Farm!

We are taking you back to Tiffany and Colin's engagement session at Knox Farm State Park!

The sun was setting and we were in a hurry to capture it. On the way, the light was pouring in between the barns. We had to stop. Tiffany and Colin faced each other and they were glowing from the sun light. I love their shadows! I love the vibrant red color of the barn, mixed with the dark colors of the clouds. Then there is the blue from the sky peeking through. Everything works so well together and it turned out beautiful!
