Abigail & Sarah Beth

A few weeks ago, I spent the morning with my friends Jonathan & Diana and their adorable girls, Abigail and Sarah Beth. We went to the park for some family photos and had a fun time on the playground, running in the field, and chasing frogs & butterflies! Here are a few of my favorites from our morning…

The girls

Haha, typical sisters!

The happy family

Baby Sarah

Oh my gosh, I love this face!!!!

Admiring the quilt made for her by our friend Jennifer :)

sweetness

Abigail :)

Can you see how her little lips are all pursed??? Oh, she’s so cute!

and happy!

Gotta love the pigtails!

Jonathan & Diana, I’m so glad we were finally able to do this! Your girls are so sweet! And it’s so fun watching them growing up and getting their little personalities. I love you guys and can’t wait to see what amazing people these little girls grow up to be!

Baby Delia’s 6-Month Portraits

Krista Guenin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:48:23 +0000

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember baby Delia. We’ve been doing a Year-In-The-Life with Delia and it was time for her 6 month portraits! Turns out little Delia wasn’t feeling too well that day :( I’m not kidding, almost every time she looked at me, she started to cry! Normally kids love me, I promise! Well, we tried to make it work for a while, and were still able to get some cute shots in between bouts of tears. But eventually we had to just leave the poor kid alone! So, I think you’ll be seeing some more of little Delia here in the next month or so as we try again :)

Jared’s Bar Mitzvah

Krista Guenin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:02:38 +0000

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to take some portraits for Jared and his family in honor his Bar Mitzvah. Here are a few of my favorites!

Jared

I always like photos of kids doing what they love, for Jared that’d be basketball…

And he is learning to play the guitar! He plays a mean Stairway to Heaven :)

Siblings :)

The whole fam!

It’s great when I can photograph a rehearsal since usually I’m not allowed to photograph during the ceremony. Besides, I can get much closer this way!

They had a bunch of family over as well, but this guy was my favorite! I’m such a sucker for a cute little grandpa! And he was so honored that I’d asked to take his portrait, how could I not include him in the post?!

Congratulations Jared!

Rhetta & Bill’s growing family

Krista Guenin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:32:21 +0000

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember Rhetta & Bill. I shot Rhetta & Bill’s wedding in Chicago almost exactly 6 years ago when I was working as an Associate for Real Life Weddings. They moved to Boston, and then a few years later I moved to Boston, and now this is my third time photographing their growing family! I hadn’t seen them since Rhetta was pregnant with little Sophie, so it was extra fun to meet her and see how big Hannah has gotten!

We met up at the Arnold Arboretum and went for a little walk…

My buddy, Hannah!

so silly!

Little Sophie!

oh, those eyes!!

Sisters :)

We managed to catch a few family portraits before Sophie decided she was “all done!”

Rhetta and the girls

FAVORITE!

Bill and the girls

We also did a few head shots for lovely Rhetta, who’s starting her own consulting and professional coaching business

We even managed to capture a portrait or two of Rhetta & Bill without the girls – well, they’re there, you just can’t see them ;)

We had a fun morning! We found lady bugs and everything :)

Rhetta & Bill – thank you so much for a fun morning with your family! Hannah and Sophie are so darling, and I’m still laughing over Hannah’s “hey, Krista, can you give me a minute?!” haha! It really is a pleasure and an honor to have been documenting your family for the last 6 years!!

Liana

Krista Guenin — Fri, 28 May 2010 15:31:22 +0000

Recently one of my lovely brides from 2008 was interviewed for a piece for Beantown Bride. Liana is a dietitian and has all sorts of great tips for brides to look great on their wedding day! We needed a head shot for the article, so I of course had to shoot it! I love a good excuse to see my brides again :) Here are a few of my favorites from our photo session…

Baby Austin – Columbus, OH

Krista Guenin — Thu, 27 May 2010 22:02:28 +0000

Just a little while back I went home to the midwest to visit some friends and family. One of my oldest and dearest friends, Marietta had a baby back in November and I still hadn’t met him yet! So, I headed over to Columbus for some quality time and a little photo session. And oh, he is SO ridiculously cute!!! Such a sweet baby, and the cutest chubby cheeks!

Little baby parts :)

Marietta’s mom was in town, and on my way out of my room in the morning, this is what I saw… (I went back in for my camera, I seriously don’t carry it around with me alllll the time!)

It’s so strange to see someone you’ve known since you were both 7 years old become a mom! It’s just surreal. and also beautiful.

Hello gorgeous!

Mar, Austin, and Mike – family photo

And then it was time for a nap. I believe this one shot I took woke him up – oops :)

Do you see those eyes?!

austin :)

Marietta is such a wonderful Mom!!

Um, I had to get a shot with my cute chubby baby!!!!

Marietta, I love you!! I’m so glad I finally got to meet Austin – he’s just precious and I love him! I’m coming home again this Summer and I can’t wait to see how big he gets by then :) Miss you!

If you’d like to see more of my favorites from Austin’s photo shoot, please check out the Facebook album.

Baby Tellen

Krista Guenin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:00:59 +0000

I hope you people like cute babies! Because there’s no shortage of them over here these days! All my clients, and friends are having babies it seems. Love it! :)

I was hanging out with my friend’s baby, Tellen, the other day. And I could not resist photographing her gorgeous little face. I mean her little nose, and her chubby cheeks were seriously just TOO MUCH!!

She looks a little freaked out, but trust me, we’re totally buds!

See!

Oh. my. goodness!

Apparently this last shot right here, this sleeping child, made me the “Tellen-whisperer” :)

Tellen – you’re too cute for words!

Chloe’s 8-Month Portraits

Krista Guenin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:21:11 +0000

Hello little blog! How are you these days? Oh, neglected, huh. :( That’d be my fault… I’m sorry! Things are really picking up though, and I promise I’ll be taking much better care of you from now on – starting now!!

What better way to get back into the swing of things, than to share some photos of darling little Chloe! We’ve been doing a Year-In-The-Life series and when she turned 8 months, it was time for another session. She just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and boy is she CUTE! Look at her!

She’s got a great laugh!

Oh, those EYES!

Daddy likes her with a bow in her hair ;)

I love the chaos of this photo – kids, cats, and teddy bears

Chloe had just started standing up in her crib at in the morning, so we had to document it!

I can’t believe this cat was up for this!

And a few portraits with Mom & Dad :)

Gretchen & Justin – it was a pleasure as always to see you guys! Hard to believe that Chloe’s going to be a year old soon! Keep in touch and let me know when to set up our final session in this Year-in-the-Life!
