			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am so so so excited for Willine and Ken to become parents. We had the great pleasure of getting to know them during their maternity session in <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/" target="_blank">Boston</a> a few weeks ago, and they are so much fun. We wandered around the <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/FreedomTrail/bostoncommon.asp" target="_blank">Boston Common</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon_Hill,_Boston" target="_blank">Beacon Hill</a> and the <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/parks/emerald/Public_Garden.asp" target="_blank">Public Gardens</a>. Even warmed up with a hot chocolate at <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/" target="_blank">Starbucks</a>. Good times, for sure. </p>

<p>I know their little one&#8217;s life is going to be filled with music and intelligence and laughter, not to mention a great sense of style and good looks. That&#8217;s one lucky kid. Check out the super sweet mom-and-dad-to-be. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We could not have had a more perfect afternoon with Lindsay and Alex for their engagement session- perfect puffy clouds against blue skies, not too cold, not too hot and the fabulous backdrop of <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/" target="_blank">Boston</a>. We had such a lovely time, we really didn&#8217;t want it to end, which might account for our venture into <a href="http://www.matchbackbay.com/" target="_blank">Match</a> for drinks and mini-burgers. Lindsay and Alex were just so great to talk with- I loved chatting about their possible <a href="http://www.visitgreece.gr/" target="_blank">honeymoon</a> destinations, about their love of wine (have to get that list of <a href="http://www.napavalley.com/wineries/" target="_blank">Napa vineyards</a> to check out) and their enjoyment of cooking. </p>
<p>I truly can&#8217;t wait to celebrate with them  at the <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/copleyplaza/" target="_blank">Copley Plaza</a> next fall. Do I really have to wait almost a whole year?</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lindsay_alex_e-1-590x393.jpg" alt="lindsay_alex_e-1" title="lindsay_alex_e-1" width="590" height="393" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1176" /></p>
<p>We started off their engagement session on the <a href="http://www.cambridgema.gov/index.cfm" target="_blank">Cambridge</a> side of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_River" target="_blank">Charles River</a>, for some great views of the city.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4055590033/" title="lindsay_alex_e-2 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2482/4055590033_5f23548e48_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston- city views- mass" /></a></p>
<p>      <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4056332918/" title="lindsay_alex_e-3 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3535/4056332918_24346359e8_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston- with flowers- ma" /></a></p>
<p>As it happened, we came across this enchanting forest. The trees were so cool. Lindsay and Alex look right at home.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4055590801/" title="lindsay_alex_e-4 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2669/4055590801_219bb7d106_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston amidst the trees by the charles river- massachusetts" /></a></p>
<p>Dave&#8217;s view&#8230;. </p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4055590941/" title="lindsay_alex_e-5 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2643/4055590941_0d14885d25_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston ma- john hancock tower - skyline background" /></a></p>
<p>My view&#8230;</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4055591013/" title="lindsay_alex_e-6 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2685/4055591013_b7a8dd26d9_o.jpg" width="590" height="320" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston views- from cambridge, mass" /></a></p>
<p>Then we headed into the city for a few more urban images in their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Bay,_Boston" target="_blank">old &#8216;hood</a>. Dave&#8217;s turn for a kissing moment&#8230;</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4056333980/" title="lindsay_alex_e-7 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2741/4056333980_32e7389658_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston- back bay- brownstone- ma" /></a></p>
<p>But I got the smiles and laughter.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4056334072/" title="lindsay_alex_e-8 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/4056334072_8563cd5327_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston ma- back bay brownstone stoop" /></a></p>
<p>So sweet how they smile  just after a kiss.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4056334130/" title="lindsay_alex_e-9 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2500/4056334130_6e72abdda3_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston mass- back bay steps- red brick" /></a></p>
<p>We walked over  Soldier&#8217;s Field Road to get to the Boston side of the River. We had hoped to get a spot on the dock, but there were people enjoying the day on every corner of it. As it turns out, we found an even better spot amidst the trees.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4055591645/" title="lindsay_alex_e-10 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/4055591645_67f4730061_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="lindsay_alex_engagement portraits boston charles river views- massachusetts" /></a></p>
<p>Then under the willow trees. It was a pretty magical place. And I absolutely love the way Lindsay and Alex are enjoying the moment.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4055591787/" title="lindsay_alex_e-11 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3631/4055591787_3716aa23f2_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="lindsay_alex engagement portraits boston ma- under a willow tree- romance" /></a></p>
<p>We had such an amazing afternoon. Thank you guys! It really was <a href="http://www.sweetcupcakes.com/" target="_blank">Sweet</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-1-590x393.jpg" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-1" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-1" width="590" height="393" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-949" /></p>
<p>This weekend, we snuck in an engagement session with Jess and Ivan, whose wedding is in just over a week. We wanted to make sure we had this chance to get together in a relaxed setting before the wedding. And also, to share the photos with them and get their feedback before the big day. The weather had been less than cooperative for our initial plans, but this day was perfect. As was the location. </p>
<p>With the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Bay,_Boston" target="_blank">Back Bay</a> as our playground, we enjoyed the wealth of possibilities our fair city has to offer. Gotta love <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/" target="_blank">Boston</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3858719027/" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-7 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/3858719027_488d4b8e84_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement- boston ma photography" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3859507094/" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-6 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3421/3859507094_a801abaa43_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement- boston mass photographers- john hancock building" /></a></p>
<p>We actually know Ivan and Jess pretty well already. Ivan and Dave had been roommates in college at <a href="http://www.umass.edu/" target="_blank">UMass Amherst</a>; as soon as we moved back to the Boston area, we got together with them. We instantly adored Jess. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3858718773/" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-4 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2600/3858718773_f91e97a528_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement- at a church in boston massachusetts- e session" /></a></p>
<p>And of course, playdates with Max and their pup Noodle were a must. Both dogs love the tennis ball and neither is agressive about having it. Excellent playmates.</p>
<p>Perhaps my favorite thing about heading out on a photographic double date with Ivan and Jess was pausing to watch them interact with each other. They laugh so much!!! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3859506816/" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-3 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2441/3859506816_88aa2fb5a7_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement- laughing bride and groom to be in boston ma" /></a></p>
<p>And my other favorite thing was watching them play with Noodle- who is totally absolutely adorable. Such a happy family.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3858718611/" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-2 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3173/3858718611_c2d0cb05b6_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement- couple with their dog on commonwealth ave" /></a>    </p>
<p>And so cute, Noodle watching Jess and Ivan. Like he wants to join in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3858718853/" title="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement-5 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3858718853_cdc8715ab1_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="jess_ivan_back_bay_engagement- bride and groom to be kiss in front of their dog" /></a></p>
<p>All around a great morning! Thank you both- we had so much fun.</p>
<p>We really can&#8217;t wait for your wedding at the <a href="http://www.harvardclub.com/" target="_blank">Harvard Club</a>. It is going to be amazing. And we are totally going to take you up on your offer to hang out and dance for a bit after we are finished shooting!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since we moved to Boston, we have had a the distinct pleasure of getting to know many fabulous wedding professionals. One of those just happens to be Tasha Bracken, <a href="http://www.capecodchamber.org/" target="_blank">Cape Cod</a> and <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/" target="_blank">Boston</a> event planner extraordinaire and the woman behind <a href="http://www.thesimpledetails.com/" target="_blank">SD Events</a>. She has so many <a href="http://simpledetailsevents.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">great ideas</a> and the ingenuity to make them happen. A recent favorite would be chalk board tables for a fabulous mitzvah celebration. Plus, she is great to be around. I would totally want her at my event, if not working, then as a guest.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3834101660/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-2 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2449/3834101660_b560b869f3_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- event planner Tasha Bracken of SD Events- the Simple Details- Cape Cod and Massachusetts" /></a></p>
<p>So when Tasha told us that she and Bill were celebrating their anniversary, I knew we had to do something special. They hadn&#8217;t had professional portraits taken since the wedding; we immediately thought, &#8220;portraits would be a great way to celebrate!&#8221; We met up with them at their home in <a href="http://www.ci.newton.ma.us/" target="_blank">Newton</a>.</p>
<p>It was our first time meeting Bill, and let me just say, he is great! I think he and Dave could have hung out all day talking about the <a href="http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=bos" target="_blank">Red Sox</a>. Such boys! And even more importantly, he is clearly still so sweet on his beautiful wife.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few of the happy couple.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3833307047/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-3 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3518/3833307047_2f57166d66_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- the happy couple" /></a></p>
<p>Breaking out with some totally fun goofiness&#8230;. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3833307131/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-4 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2653/3833307131_d9020c6b6f_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- goofing around in newton ma" /></a></p>
<p>Hanging out on the back porch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3834101314/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-6 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2470/3834101314_faca937167_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- back porch in massachusetts" /></a></p>
<p>Now into a section of &quot;Favorite Things&quot;, aka the best parts of life, or that which Tasha and Bill love.</p>
<p>First off, Mariah, she totally posed for the camera. What a beauty!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3833307465/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-7 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2560/3833307465_a926a03252_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- black cat" /></a></p>
<p>And Elton, definitely more camera shy, glad Tasha was able to catch him. He&#8217;s so handsome.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3834101534/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-8 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3446/3834101534_277300a5e2_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- with orange cat" /></a></p>
<p>His and hers cocktails; getting snuggly in the background.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3834101736/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-9 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/3834101736_4617c257d6_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits- snuggling with martini and champagne" /></a></p>
<p>Note the Red Sox attire. The couple that cheers together, stays together. <img src='http://allegrophotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3834101852/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-10 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3834101852_de451b3120_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-red sox fans in ma" /></a></p>
<p>Since it was an anniversary session and Tasha  looks fabulous, we coaxed her into doing a few in her wedding gown. No surprise, it fit perfectly. Besides, what girl doesn&#8217;t want a chance to put on that beautiful white dress just one more time?! </p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tasha_bill_anniversary_portraits_newton_ma-1-590x393.jpg" alt="tasha_bill_anniversary_portraits_newton_ma-1" title="tasha_bill_anniversary_portraits_newton_ma-1" width="590" height="393" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-926" /></p>
<p>Mariah came back for a repeat performance. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3833307991/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-11 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3433/3833307991_6598b70af3_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-bride with cat" /></a></p>
<p>And one parting image&#8230; I love the juxtaposition of Bill in his Red Sox shirt with Tasha all gussied up in her wedding gown! Makes me smile.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3834102056/" title="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-12 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2467/3834102056_7e1f68fa34_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="tasha_bill_newton_anniversary_portraits-massachusetts" /></a></p>
