Meanest Mom Feature
Amy‘s Sister, Jana, write a hysterical blog called “The Meanest Mom.” I find it amusing and I don’t even have children. You should check it out. Jana has been making amusing satirical comments about the planning stages. You can find things in the archives here, here, here, here and here.
Thanks Jana!
Stay Family: Boston Family Portraits
Ben and Rebekah are my in-laws. I just love them and their sweet baby, James. I was able to stay at their house when I went to DC to photograph Amy and Warren’s wedding. Ben and BK (as we call her in our family since we have another Rebecca sister-in-law) live in Northern Virginia which was an amazing setting for family photos…but it rained the day we planned our shoot. As is typical with photographers we rolled with the punches and changed our plans and worked out our shoot to the next week when we were all to be in Boston for Memorial Day weekend.
These turned out so fantastic. James is a little pouter in front of the camera, but we snuck some smiles in. They are some of the best people I know, and I get to be related to them! We are lucky to have them in out lives
Thanks so much for spending the evening with me guys! Love you! Order and view the entire event here.
Amy & Warren: ALMOST Married
We took some photos of Amy and Warren pre-wedding so they’d have a great no stress wedding day. It was such a wonderful morning.
Amy and I grew up together and were roommates in college. When she came out in her dress we both started crying. I am so happy for her. I wish them all the happiness in the world.
Here’s the tidbit you get for now. Her dress was found online at a vintage shop. More details later. Stunning no? Warren isn’t too bad either.
Tyler Family: Las Vegas Family Portaits
I’m finally updating my blog with images from the past couple months. Scroll down to see the newest delights or subscribe via Google Reader to get all the updates.
Ok, down to business. Marta and Chris welcomed little Ava into the world last December just after I met Marta. It was such great morning photographing their family. As luck would have it Ava decided to wake up three hours early so she’d be super cranky for all our pictures.
I love when a parent becomes resigned to the fact that they won’t get any decent pictures and then are so pleasantly surprised that I was able to capture so many. The trick is lots of breaks, not forcing her to be in any certain pose/position. I’m all about making sure everyone is comfortable and in an environment where they can be themselves.
Isn’t this family beautiful!?
Thanks Tyler Family! It was such a joyful morning! You can view the entire even and order prints here.
Travel
Ok party people, here’s the skinny on travel in the next little bit. I am going to be here and there and everywhere for the next couple months. If I’m in your town I’d love to do a session with you!
Here are the dates and places I’m quasi available. Shoot me an email (meganruthstay at gmail dot com) to reserve your spot and confirm that I am available during the date and time you’d like. I’d really love it!
Washington DC area: This week! I have VERY limited availability but if you’d like a session we’ll work it out.
Boston/Franklin area: May 29th-June 8th
Salt Lake City area: June 20th-26th
Los Angeles are: July 2nd-6th
After all that (and all the traveling from the past month or two) I think I might sleep for a week. There’s been so much going on this year that I feel like everytime I take a second to look around we’re another month deeper into 2010. Before I know it, it’ll be Christmas! I’ve heard that when you’re younger time goes by really slow, but as your brain gets older it speeds up time. Is this really true? Because I feel like time seriously flies these days. Like a fighter jet.
I leave you with this gem from the Tyler family session from last Saturday.
