Business Meets Fun!

One cold day in mid-January, I met up with my good friends Patrick and Wes. Pat is a seasoned financial advisor who has helped me a great deal on my investments and savings, and will soon be starting his own practice under a very successful company, Waddell & Reed. I was given the opportunity to take his business portraits for his upcoming professional website.

We took some excellent action shots as he counseled his roommate Wes on financial situations.

But we did take some time to have some fun portraits as well even if it was cold outside. Luckily for us, the sun was shining, and it looked like a beautiful day.

Flying puppies!

Everybody loves puppies!

Please feel free to email Pat for all of your financial needs! He is a brilliant supervisor.

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!

New Beginnings!

It was a beautiful fall day when I traveled up to Framingham in mid-November to take maternity pictures of Alyson, her husband, and baby-t0-be! The Davises have a beautiful house, and luckily, Alyson had all sorts of ideas for pictures to take for her daughter to seen when she grows up.

This is Alyson in front of the side door of her house with the new wooden railing that her husband Terry just made by hand! That'll serve them well for the slippery steps in the winter!

Isn't she going to be a beautiful mom? I worked with Alyson at CSN Stores, and she definitely knows what the responsibilities will be as a working mother! It was exciting to hear about her background as a singer/performer as well as her plans for her future with the new baby. It was a little overcast that day, and the some of the photos inside the house were a little dark, but it made for a nice setting of colors.

We also got a chance to take some cute pictures with her husband Terry so that her daughter Amelia will be able to see the three of them together.

And of course we had to get some of just the baby!

Welcome to Mary Malito Photography

Welcome to the start of Mary Malito Photography! My company specializes in natural light photography. I'm pleased to announce that my website www.marymalito.com has just launched!

Yesterday was a very adventurous day. I met up with my good friend Chantelle, and we spent the day in Lynn Woods taking her portraits and headshots. The weather couldn't have been nicer for Halloween, despite the minimal sunshine. I think they turned out pretty well for both of our first professional photo sessions!

This is my beautiful friend Chantelle at the very start of our photo shoot - look at that smile!

Chanty definitely had a knack for taking pictures. The sun was playing hide-and-seek the entire day between the trees. As soon as the sun would peak out, I was yelling, "The sun! The sun's out!!", and Chantelle would strike a pose like a natural model!

We had a couple different outfit changes, but we ended up liking the white sweater over her brown tank top the best.

I also had a chance to meet her nieces and her family who also took gorgeous pictures! This talent must run in their blood.

What a productive first day on the job! I'm so excited to be starting my own company and developing my own business. My business cards are also on their way. I'm looking for my first sets of clients now! Please contact me via my website! www.marymalito.com
