I just had to share some of my favorite beach outfits from mini boden

We will be in NYC in June and are taking limited sessions. If you are interested in booking a amazing session in the city, contact the studio. I’ve been dying to shoot a cute kid, fun siblings or an awesome family in the city so don’t miss out.

I will be in Springfield, Mass in June and will be offering a limited number of sessions. Please contact the studio if you would like to book a session for June.

We had such an awesome time on spring break. We took the kids to Alys Beach and rented a house there and it was the most relaxing vacation we have had as a family. We rode bikes everywhere, watched movies under the stars on the town green, made sand castles, I cooked dinner for them and daddy made them breakfast everyday. I can’t wait to go back next spring.

I’m a self confessed shopaholic and I love kids clothes. My three kids have closets that are bursting with goodies and my favorite way to shop is either online or at small local boutique shops, like Moxie Kids. I had to put some boards together that show some clothes that I am loving from Jcrew and Gap. The new Stella from GAP is amazing and I had to pick up some goods for my own kiddos. These outfits would look awesome for a session.

I am happy to say that we are now offering framing at the studio. I have wanted to offer framing for a while now and I am so excited about now becoming a full service studio from start to finish. Our framing prices are very reasonable and the best thing about our frames is that they are environment friendly. We are offering two framing options: 100% Wood or 80% recycled molding. Enviro Frames are made from 80% guaranteed recycled materials, including coffee cups and coke bottles, impacting the environment as minimally as possible. Our Wood Frames are made from 100% sustainable wood and are lighter than regular wood frames, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide waste our environment incurs.

We hope you are excited as we are and don’t forget that we offer complimentary wall gallery installation in your home.

We will be traveling down to Alys Beach in a few weeks and are taking on a few sessions while we are they. Alys beach is simply gorgeous and a perfect place to capture your child or family and get some amazing images. I am very excited to be shooting at such a gorgeous location and if you are interested in booking a session please contact the studio today.

A few months ago I shot some images for Jamie ( fabulous furbish store owner) because she was being featured in Elle Decor. If you want to see, go grab the March Elle Decor and see but if you really want to drool just go visit her store in person. She is super sweet, funny as all heck and she knows how to style a room. I am all about buying local, did you know that 80 cents of every dollar spent in a locally owned business stays in your community? Support your local business and have a chic room while you are at it. Jamie not only sells fabulous housewares, but she has classes you can sign up for an does interior decorating. Go there…you will be sorry if you don’t.

and this is Rowdy…he pretty much owns the place and loves to sniff butts…he rocks

I am so excited about our Modern Silhouette Event coming up in February.  Silhouette’s are everywhere, just check out your latest trendy home decor magazines. We have some really awesome specialty items that we will be offering for this event as well. We will only be doing this event once this year so if you are interested please contact the studio via email Marie@phrecklesphotogaphy.com. This type of event is good for children of all ages who are sitting on their own. See you there!

I have to give a big thank you shot out to my past bride now good friend Lauren…I know she has been waiting for these, but not once has she bugged me

Lauren is starting her very own boutique wedding planning business and I know it’s going to be  a huge success, so we decided to get her some updated head shots to use for her upcoming webiste. Love ya girl!
