It was only last August when I photographed Shannon and Keith’s intimate wedding at the Mt Top Inn and it was to my great surprise when I found out they were expecting a baby boy and his name would be Adam! I guess they loved their wedding photos so much they decided to name their first born son after me. It’s no surprise, I’m getting used to this as it happens all the time 😉 No but really, I did feel a great connection w/Shannon and Keith and when told me they were going to drive all the way from West Haven, CT to my studio in Burlington, VT I was totally honored! When they arrived, I was so excited to see them again, this time as parents instead of newlyweds. It was great to meet Adam, what a little cutie pie. I decided it was time they knew, so after we got started w/the newborn session, I let them know that I had photographed their wedding on my birthday. They were so surprised and asked why I didn’t say anything. I reminded them it was their day and I happily made the decision to share in it. So it seemed like serendipity, all of these cool connections! Little Adam did great for his first photo session; after Shannon got him into a proper ‘milk coma’ we were able to play around and make some beautiful images. As a photographer, newborn sessions are often challenging but so worth it. For parents, this precious time flies by in just a few weeks, and then your little one is full-steam ahead into baby-hood. There’s no second chance to capture images of this amazing stage of life. It was so great to see Shannon and Keith and to meet Adam and I can’t wait to see their family grow!
To Adam the photographer—Happy Birthday either 11 months late or 1 month early!! Wish we had known that your birthday was the same day as Shannon and Keith’s wedding in Aug. So glad you decided to “work” on your birthday!!! Your wedding photos were gorgeous and your newborn photos of my grandson Adam were just unbelievable!! I love the close ups photos of his face and feet–very large feet for such a little baby. All the photos you took of Adam are beautiful. It’s hard to pick a favorite one!! It was certainly worth the drive from CT. to VT. to get such awesome photos.
Adam! First, let me apologize for not posting a comment sooner, as you can imagine- life with a newborn has been blissfully, wonderfully busy 🙂 I cannot believe Adam is going to be 3 months old and that Keith and I will be celebrating our first anniversary all next weekend! (Happy birthday to you by the way!!) 😉 Once again, I find myself in awe of your work. Looking at the images now, I cannot believe how fast time has gone by in just three short months and how much he has grown and changed! We are so greatful to have these photographs to remember the newness of it all. Keith and I enjoyed sharing that experience with you and it is a memory I wont forget. Next weekend, we will not only admire the photographs you took of Adam but also of our wedding day one year ago! It is amazing how blessed our year has been. Thank you for documenting such important events in our lives. Xoxo
