The weather was just perfect, very comfortable and sunny.
It was towards the end of the day, close to this little one’s bed time but she did just beautifully! Happy and curious is how I would describe her. Just a joy to photograph!

I love her Gaelic name, and and I must admit I had to search online for the meaning once I returned home. It’s very fitting for sweet little Niamh.

niamh “radiance, lustre, brightness.”

The pronunciation is different than what is suggested online. Rather than “nee + iv” or “neev”
Different parts of Ireland pronounce it differently. Niamh’s Daddy is from Cork. They pronounce it “nee-iv” (Thank you Stephanie for the correction!) I just love unique and special names!

Here is a sampling of a few of the favorites I have edited so far. We did do a cake smash outdoors, I may share a few from that as well.

Here is one from our first session four years ago, taken in Scituate.

and here is a sampling of some of my favorites from their recent session.

Thanks guys, I had such a great time photographing you all!

Here is a sampling of images taken at the court house.  I will be posting images from the celebration which took place at their beautiful home shortly.


Congratulations to you all!  You have such a beautiful family!  I’m so very happy for you all!!!

That was Matthew at 2 months.  Here he is at 2 years (well, almost)!!

Matthew is a happy, playful and energetic little boy!  Thanks Melissa and Jason for the opportunity to photograph your precious little boy again!

Sometimes they just make my job so easy.  This is the perfect example.  Rosie was the perfect little model.  I really think she enjoyed the whole experience today.  A new spot to explore and such a sweet big sister!  Her baby sister Celia was such a little peach!  Such a happy little baby girl!  Here is a little sneak peek for you!  Enjoy!

Here are a few for now:
