hannah in the hydrangeas




hannah is the daughter of my friends stef & jeff alexander. this is a good example of why I love what I do - stef & jeff got married right before roland and I did and I photographed their wedding - they got married under this beatutiful arbor that jeff had made and I kept commenting on it as we were shooting the portraits. jeff asked me if I had gotten anything "borrowed" for my wedding yet - I said no and he said well how about the arbor? he and stef were great enough to bring it down to snow hill from cambridge and roland and I were married under it that weekend. then last year stef emailed me to tell me that they were expecting and would I shoot some pregnancy photos - of course! and now my first portraits of their beautiful daughter hannah. see I only met stef & jeff because they were looking for a wedding photographer and now we have become friends - they honor me by letting me document the most important events and people in their lives and I just think it's so cool that my camera and I are along for the ride!

Raye, the pictures of Hannah in the hydrangeas are just too adorable. I'm having a hard time selecting photos. I promise to be in touch soon- this is the first time in awhile I've had free time to search your site. Its so beautiful! Hannah's first birthday is tomorrow, Aug 8th- I can't believe how fast time has flown. Thanks so much for being a great friend and for helping us remember some of the best times of our live so far- more to come I hope! Hugs! Steph, Jeff and Hannah
