Cara and Joe's Engagement Photos

It's only early January, and it's been brutally cold in Boston. However, on January 10 of this new year, Cara and Joe had fabulous, sunny weather - perfect for taking pictures! The three of us met in Salem, their home town, and explored the outer parts of the city. How "New England"!

You can tell they are so in love! Cara and Joe have been sweethearts for a long time! Look at those perfect smiles!

The red barn door is my favorite - a little over exposed in production to show the vivaciousness of the color! What great sweater coordination, Joe!

We took pictures under a stone gazebo in a park next to a cute, vintage hotel in Salem. The snow was much higher than ankle deep out here still!

One more kiss for the road before back out in the cold! The day couldn't have been better - and we were done by the Patriots' beatdown game! Looking forward to the upcoming wedding, Cara and Joe! Congratulations - you make a beautiful couple!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

On December 12, 2009, my mom celebrated her 65th birthday with her closest friends and family. It was normal chaos for the Malito household - I was assigned the duties of a helpful host, coat girl, bartender, and photographer. I managed to sneak in some photos when I could!

This is a photo of the lovely women from the party - a couple unfortunately are missing since they had to leave early, but we were still able to squeeze in a big group photo! Aren't they beautiful!

The table was adorned with delicious appetizers and entrees, along with festive holiday decorations...

Mom loves to fluff her hair even when putting out the cheese!

And here's my dad talking to Marist friends...

My parents just had their kitchen remodeled. My mom showed off her new, modern cabinets and granite countertops!

A happy moment seeing lifelong friends!

It was a long, exciting, and boisterous night! And the cake was delicious. Happy 65th Sharon! Time to cut the cake!

Friends stayed into the wee hours until the candles burnt low. Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!
