The “K” Kids
Saturday morning before storm Alfred ripped through the state, I had a fun but chilly session with the adorable “K” kids. We hung out on their beautiful property, took a stroll through the woods, threw some rocks in their stream and ended with hot chocolate and apples for a snack. It was such a nice morning. Thanks guys for patience with your sneak peek. Sorry it took so long. I still don’t have power but have now moved my office in an effort to get caught up! Anyway, hope you enjoy these. I’ll be in touch soon with the rest.

This morning I had such a nice session with the entire H family. Scheduling these large family sessions can be a challenge, coordinating schedules and then factoring in weather make things tricky. In the end though, it is totally worth it. Today was no exception, the weather was perfect, our location was great and then add in a genuinely real family and you’ve got a all the makings of a wonderful session. Thank all, so much for making the effort this morning. It was such a pleasure working with you all. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
The “G” Kids {CT Children’s Photographer}
This morning I had a fun session with the G kids. The weather was perfect and the kids were great. You may remember these guys from a few years back, I’ve photographed them a couple times on their beautiful property. Well, their family just grew as they welcomed their third child about six months ago. (And what a cutie pie he is! ) Anyway, we headed out to a rustic location for some pictures of this newly expanded family today and had a blast. Thank you guys for a fun morning. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
P.S. Mom, no worries, I have lots of great shots of all three kids together but didn’t want to ruin any holiday card surprise. *wink* *wink*
Isn’t he handsome!
This expression totally cracks me up!
Beautiful Miss. G!
And I had to share this one of G and Mom! So sweet!
Blessed {CT Newborn Photographer}
This morning I was blessed to meet an amazing little man named Beckett and his wonderful family. At first glance, you’d look at him and see the perfectly adorable little man that he is and what a gift he is to his entire family. However, you need to hear his incredible story so you can completely understand just how amazing and special he truly is. And no one can tell his story better than his mom, so here in her words is a bit of his story.
——————————————————————————————–
Beckett arrived Friday, August 5th; a beautiful 5lbs. 6oz. Beckett is thought to have pyruvate carboxylase deficiency which is a mitochondrial/metabolic disorder. We won’t know for sure if this is his diagnosis until the blood test results and his skin biopsy come back from the lab (it takes 4-6 weeks for the results). PC deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease (an estimated incidence of 1 in 250,000 births worldwide), with three distinct clinical presentations: Type A (“North Amerian” form) is found mostly in Native Americans and is discovered in infancy resulting in biochemical imbalances and severe retardation resulting in death in infancy or early childhood, Type B (“French” form)is the neonatal form found mostly in Europe (primarily France)and is discovered very early in life with severe biochemical imbalances and little to no neurological function resulting in death within the first three months of life, Type C is known as the benign form with mildly delayed neurological development and episodes of metabolic acidosis. Beckett is thought to have Type B, the most severe form, due to the fact that he presented in utero and at birth with symptoms of PC deficiency. PC deficiency results in malfunction of the citric acid cycle (this biochemical process derives energy from carbohydrates) and gluconeogenesis (produces carbohydrate fuel for the body when carbohydrate intake is low), thereby depriving the body of energy. Severe energy deficit causes neurologic symptoms and congenital brain malformations due to a lack of energy during neurogenesis. Basically, mutations in the PC gene reduce the amount of pyruvate carboxylase in cells or disrupt the enzyme’s activity. The missing or altered enzyme cannot carry out it’s essential role in generating glucose, which impairs the body’s ability to make energy in mitochondria. A loss of pyruvate carboxylase allows toxic levels of lactic acid and ammonia to build up and damage organs and tissues. We don’t know how much time we have with our beautiful son, but we would like to do as much with him as we can, as normally as possible. This is why we pushed so hard to get Beckett home from Children’s Hospital Boston. It has been a long road for us, but we are finally home (we arrived Thursday, October 13th). We are enjoying our time together as a family, and loving every moment that we get to spend with our two children.

Told ya, isn’t he just adorable!
Seriously adorable, from his head to his sweet toes!
The whole amazing family!
Did I mention, I kinda fell in love with his big sister J.
This one actually made me break down in tears when I saw it. The way B is looking at sweet J, holding his hand.
Their bond is so strong!
And lastly, I had to share this sweet kiss, J is such a great big sister!
The B family {CT Family Photographer}
Yesterday afternoon I had a fun session with the B family! I photographed this sweet family a few years ago and was delighted to see them again. This time, they came with their newest addition G, who of course melted my heart. (He’s so stinking cute!) Both big kids adore their new little brother as well and are so sweet with him. You guys have such a wonderful family and are truly blessed. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
The whole sweet family
Isn’t she beautiful!
Mr. Cutie-Pa-Tootie
Don’t ask why Mr. O is smiling here! LOL!
A little fun playing in the leaves!
Bye guys, it was great seeing you!
The K Family {CT Family Photography}
This morning I had a great session with the sweet K family! We met up at a local park and had fun playing in the leaves, checking out the trees and just hanging out. Sweet M, their little man was an absolute doll and such a trooper. He came to his session with a double ear infection but you wouldn’t have know it. He was happy as could be our whole time together. And he didn’t mind having me around at all, which made my job easy. Thank you guys for a wonderful morning. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Peek-a-boo, I see you!
Well hello, handsome!
And one of my favorites from the day, I LOVE the emotion in this shot!
Mr. J {18 months)
Yesterday morning I had a fun session with the always adorable Mr. J and his family. I am sure you will recognize this little guy because I have had the pleasure of photographing him since he was just a few days old. And even though it doesn’t seem possible, we met up for his big 18 month session yesterday. Man how time flies! As you know, the weather was fabulous yesterday and was perfect for playing outside. Thank you guys for yet another great session! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
The B Family
Yesterday, I had a fun session with the adorable B family at a local orchard. These guys are all so sweet and cute it’s pretty hard to not to get a great shot of them. You may recognize them from last winter, when I photographed their little man for his newborn session. Wow, has he grown! He’s a sweet and smiley almost 8 month old now. His big sister and big brother were so fun to play with too. Thank you guys for a fun afternoon. I seriously have TONS of images to go through but here are just a few that caught my attention right away. Enjoy!
Brothers
This morning I had a great session with two handsome brothers. These guys were fun and made my job easy. At one point, I actually said to mom, you must take their pics all the time! It was pretty obvious to me anyway, cause they just knew how to settle in right in front of the camera. Today, Mom was hoping for some classic and timeless images and that is definitely what we achieved. And like most moms out there, she didn’t really want to be in the pictures but rather “just focus on the boys”. Spoken like a true mom. Right? Well, lucky for me I was able to convince her to sneak in for a few of the images. And I am pretty sure she will be glad she did. My absolute favorite of the day is the one of her little man snuggled in her arms. As far as I am concerned, it just doesn’t get much better. Here’s the sneak peek enjoy!
Mine on Monday {10/3/11}
Happy Monday guys, hope your weekend was nice. Despite the rain, we still managed to have a good one. The kids carved pumpkins and we made a pumpkin cake, it was fun. Speaking of rain, last week we had a day full of rain that ended in the most breathtaking rainbows I’ve seen in awhile. At one point there were even two rainbows! So we headed outside to play in the rain and of course take pictures! Cause you know I never need a real excuse to drag out my camera! 
Anyway, I got some pretty shots of the rainbow but more importantly some great shots of my kids just being kids. You know, the kind of images that just make your heart fill up with love to the point it feels like it might just burst! Yeah, those kind of pictures. So I of course had to share them with you all. And in true Beth fashion, I googled rainbow quotes because I love a good quote and I couldn’t believe the amazingly perfect one I found! I will definitely be making this into a HUGE canvas for my office, as a permanent reminder. Hope you enjoy it as much as me!
and here are the beautiful colors in my rainbow….
