I've spent the last couple of days at a conference at the Sturbridge Host Hotel in Sturbridge, MA. It was crazy for me, because I shot one of my very first weddings there in the summer of 2005! It was film, and I was scared. to. death. The bride and groom were super relaxed (a trend that would follow us our whole career, I guess!). I actually helped write the vows before the ceremony, and Jesse tied the ties for all the groomsmen. Thus began our careers as so much more than just "the photographers." But because the conference was all about building my business and getting refreshed creatively, it was this funny little juxtaposition for me - to be shooting literally at the spot where it all started.

Back that a** up
March 7, 2012I couldn't help myself with the '90s rap reference (for those of you who, like me, then need to watch the video, here's the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL2txMU50CI. I also highly recommend doing a search for the song on you tube because it brings up some hilarious home videos of people backing their asses up.) But alas, I do not have the opportunity to back my ass up all that much, though I do have a lot of opportunities to back my PHOTOS up. (like that transition sentence, huh, huh??) A good friend was in town this weekend (holler Joelle!), and as we were getting our INSANE pedicures at Pro Nails in Norwell, she asked me how I deal with the millions of photos Jesse and I take of Autumn (I currently have 1,118 photos on my iphone!!).

My little flapper {Boston Baby Photography}
February 2, 2012Yes, the little nugget is growing up. Doesn't she look like a flapper? I snagged the diaper cover and peacock feather headband from etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BottomsUpBoutique?ref=seller_info Yes, in those two photos, she is a happy and compliant model. But this is what she looked like most of the time. Man, that hand is yummy!

Pinterest {obsession}
January 15, 2012I am completely obsessed with pinterest. Especially since I find myself up in the wee hours of the morning feeding a little baby, my pinterest app has been crucial. Not only for entertaining me, but ensuring that I remain awake to feed said little one. Come follow me and see all the awesome things I'm in love with! I've also started to make boards for engagement shoots and stuff, so if you want inspiration, you can find it here too! http://pinterest.com/heatherjayne/
