Twins!

Krista Guenin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:26:46 +0000

When I was in Chicago this summer, I had the chance to see an old friend of mine that I haven’t seen in YEARS! I literally don’t think I’ve seen her since I left my job at the hedge fund and became a photographer over 8 years ago (that’s a story for another day). It was SO great to see her and catch up – but it was especially exciting because I got to photograph her TWINS! A boy and a girl, just a few weeks old and as precious as they get!

They’d like to remain anonymous, so I’m only going to share a couple of my favorites to give you a taste of how cute they are!

Ah! So precious!! xoxo

The Great Giveaway

Krista Guenin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:02:37 +0000

Earlier this summer, my church GENESIS held an event called The Great Giveaway. This was our way of reaching out and blessing the community of Woburn. We’re a very new church in the area, and thought this might be a great way to meet our neighbors. We basically had a HUGE yard sale where everything was given away for FREE! Hundreds of people came and almost everything was taken by the end of the day (what wasn’t taken was donated to Salvation Army). It was the coolest thing! People could not get over the fact that everything was free, and that there were no strings attached. It was so fun!

We spent HOURS going through all the donations, organizing everything, and then putting it out in the parking lot. There was a TON of stuff!!

People were lined up at the entrance for hours waiting for the event to start. It was so cool to watch them run when we opened the gates!

THOUSANDS of items of clothing were given away!

Just for fun, I shot some film with my Holga :)

Leg Warmers!!

And this guy found some roller skates, and rolled away on them – and they even matched his shirt! He was so excited! :)

there was face-painting for the kiddos

and a bouncy house!

Even Justin, Gretchen & Chloe came :)

I am so blessed to be part of this community! I definitely hope we do this again next year :)

Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding – FILM (finally!)

Krista Guenin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:22:51 +0000

Well, this is embarrassing… It’s been, well, months since Sylvia & Ricky’s wedding. I shot some film that day and sent it to a new lab for scanning. I had no idea that the lab would take MONTHS to get the scans back. Boo! It’s an awesome service if you’re looking to scan old stuff, and you’re not in a hurry, but it’s not so good for getting things done for clients! Good to know…

Well, the silver lining is that the film turned out great, and the scans are awesome! Take a look at a few of my favorites…

Sylvia

The happy couple

The Bridal Party

The church

The Ceremony

The whole fam

The First Dance

Dudes with cigars

Sylvia & Ricky! I love you two :) Thanks for being so patient waiting for these scans – you rock! xoxo

Tami & Ryan’s Family Portraits – Chicago, IL

Krista Guenin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:56:01 +0000

I photographed Tami & Ryan’s wedding back in 2005 when I worked for a studio in Chicago called Real Life Weddings. Tami actually interned at the studio for a while, and assisted me at a few weddings – and we became friends in the process. I hadn’t seen her in ages, so I was super excited when she decided to schedule a session for my Portrait Day in Lincoln Park in Chicago this summer! Almost exactly five years after their wedding, I had the chance to see Tami & Ryan again, to meet Ava & Ryder, and to photograph their adorable family! I love photographing friends, and I absolutely love getting to work with my brides again – so this was really quite a treat!

Meet Ava…

haha!

Little Ryder

It was fun catching up with them as we walked through the Park. I discovered that Ryan is pastor of a new church in Palatine, IL that was planted through the Acts 29 Network last fall. It just so happens that my church was also planted last fall through Acts 29! It was so cool to hear all about their experience and all the great stuff that God’s doing in their community!

I love this family shot!

We even managed to get a few portraits just of the two of them (since you can’t see that she’s still holding the baby ;)! Ryan assured me that they probably hadn’t had one taken since their wedding, so at least I can say that I’m the one who gets to do it ;)

These two are great parents! I just love these last couple of shots!

And just for fun, here are a few of my favorites from their WEDDING, circa 2005!! (The following photos were shot on FILM for Real Life Weddings)

The first time I ever got to shoot a “First Look”!

Tami & Ryan – it was SO great to see you!! And to meet your babies! They’re so cute, and have such sweet & fun little personalities already. Thanks for coming into the city for our photo session, and for braving the heat and even exploding diapers! Hopefully it will be less than 5 years before I see you again :)

A Year-in-the-Life: Chloe’s 1st Birthday Party!

Krista Guenin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:07:40 +0000

Wow, time really does just fly by, doesn’t it?! It seems like it wasn’t that long ago Justin & Gretchen were getting married! Since then they’ve gotten pregnant, had a baby girl, had lots of photo shoots of little Chloe growing up, and now she’s officially a year old!!! To celebrate, they threw her a party complete with cake smashed in the face and lots of laughs – and once again I got to be there to document the fun!

So big!

First of all, the 3 pigtails she’s got going on are adorable. Secondly, look at how sweet that face is! And third, I think it’s hilarious how much she loved that card (more than the present even)!

Blowing kisses!

not quite walking… I love Gretchen’s hand in the lower left of this shot. Giving her a chance to stay up by herself, but definitely ready to catch her at the first sign of falling.

1st Birthday Princess :)

What’s this deliciousness?!

Once you have cake all over you, your best bet is to just wash off in the pool!

Dads always know how to make their girls laugh!

And every little girl needs a fabulous & adoring AUNT!!

trying to walk some more…. I love the toes, the little thighs, the shadows (especially the hand reaching out to grab)!

You’re too cute, Chloe!

Gretchen & Justin (and Chloe) – thank you! You guys are the best! It’s been SO fun to document this crazy & wonderful year for you!!!! It’s hard to believe it’s over already, and I won’t be coming by your house in a couple months for another shoot ;) But, I’m excited to stay connected with you and see how your family continues to grow and change over the years!

Rahel & Yitzi’s Engagement Session – Boston, MA

Krista Guenin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:46:10 +0000

Last year I photographed the wedding of Shoshana & Andy and had such a fun time working with them and their family! Imagine my excitement when Shoshana’s mom called to tell me that Shoshana’s sister Rahel had just gotten engaged!! I am thrilled to be able to continue documenting this family, and to celebrate another marriage with them!

A few weeks ago I met up with Rahel and Yitzi to photograph their engagement session. These two met at MIT, so what better place to begin our shoot than on campus?

Being photographed can be totally awkward – but if you can just keep each other laughing, it helps a LOT!

After walking around campus a little bit, we decided to head over to the Charles River. The sunlight was just lovely!

I’m totally fascinated by the way people stand, and what they do with their hands & their feet. In case you were wondering why I always have random shots of people’s lower halves… :)

I love the sunlight this time of day!

Gosh, Rahel’s eyes are so beautiful!

At this point in the evening, we walked down to J.P. Lick’s for some delicious ice cream! (which is funny, since Shoshana & Andy took me there during their eSession as well) I don’t have photos to show you of this portion because I was a little busy stuffing my face ;) But after that we walked along the Esplanade for the sunset, and played in the park a bit.

I know the next 2 are a lot alike, but I couldn’t decide which processing I liked better!

See, laughter always helps!!

Our final view as we walked back across the bridge

Rahel & Yitzi – it was great to see you again – and great to meet you Yitzi! Thanks for a fun evening, and especially the awesome ice cream! ;) It was great getting to hang out with you both and get to know you a little better. I’m really looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks for the wedding!! Hard to believe it’s coming up already, but it’s going to be a blast!!

Abigail & Sarah Beth

Krista Guenin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:47:41 +0000

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!

Mary & Gerard’s Engagement Session – Brookline, MA

Krista Guenin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 16:44:54 +0000

Springtime and summer in New England can be a bit, um, rainy – as you saw in the last post. This can make scheduling engagement sessions a little tricky. Mary & Gerard were having the worst luck finding a time for their shoot and we ended up doing it just this past week. There are a bunch of shoots waiting in the queue, but I bumped this one up since they’re getting married one week from today! I like to make sure clients see their engagement images before the wedding so I can get feedback from them on what they like & what they don’t particularly love. Plus, if they love them (which clearly I hope they do!), they feel that much more comfortable on the wedding day! So, in light of that, here are a few of my favorites from Maria & Gerard’s session at Larz Anderson Park!

The sunlight was just perfect that evening!

It’s a beautiful park, and we only walked around a small part of it! I can’t wait to explore some more :)

You wouldn’t know that Gerard hates having his picture taken ;)

I was loving the checkered floor, and the columns, and the light coming in!

And then I looked up, and had to shoot the ceiling too! How cute are these two, by the way?!

feet :)

Mary & Gerard – thanks for a fun evening! It was great to see you, and to meet Gerard at last. I’m super excited for your wedding – 7 more days!! Have a GREAT week with your families and I’ll see you sooooon! :D

Lori & Mark’s Engagement Session – Taunton, MA

Krista Guenin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:29:07 +0000

I was so excited to head down to Taunton a few weeks ago to meet Lori & Mark at last, and to get to know them through our photo shoot! As I made the drive down, the clouds got darker and bigger, and the rain began to fall. By the time I got to their place, there was little hope of shooting outside. We made the best of it though, and had a fun evening grilling out, playing with their adorable and humongous dog, and just hanging out at the house! I love it when engagement sessions can capture a day in the life of a couple – a real day – and that’s exactly what we got!

These burgers were DELICIOUS!

Happy Family :)

We went out in the yard for a bit, but even the dog didn’t want to stand in the rain!

They’re cute :)

Oh, this dog is well loved!!

Just like at my house, real life often involves just hanging out on the couch ;)

Lori & Mark – it was so great to meet you both!! Sorry I couldn’t get the sun to cooperate with us, but I had a blast hanging out with you, and those burgers really were awesome! I can’t wait for your wedding – I just know the sun will be shining! ;)

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 :)

Back from Vacation!

Krista Guenin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:45:16 +0000

Well, I have finally returned from my road trip to the Midwest! It was a very fun vacation, with a little work thrown in to the mix! Here’s a quick recap…

Drove with my sister & her 3 kids (ages 3-7) from Boston to Niagara Falls.

Came down with bronchitis.

Visited my old synchronized swimming coach who was coaching at Nationals nearby. The only other times I’ve been to Niagara Falls is when I’ve been to synchro meets! (yes, I was a synchronized swimmer & coach for 15 years!)

Visited Niagara Falls and went on the Maid of the Mist for the first time! Very cool – and very wet!!

Drove with Kyla & the kids from Niagara Falls to Columbus, OH.

are we there yet? are we there yet?

Visited lots of Kyla’s friends in Columbus, ate lots of Graeter’s Ice Cream. yum!

Drove with Kyla & the kids from Columbus to Mom & Dad’s house in Indianapolis.

cough. cough. nap. cough. whine.

Fireworks on the White River for Independence Day!

Watched a lot of the Tour de France with my Dad.

Visited with some old college friends & their babies.

Pool party. boat rides. playground. Did I mention bronchitis? doctor’s office. sprinkler park. water park.

Brother-in-law arrived. Kids excited because “now we’re a family!”

Drove with the whole fam up to Monticello, IN for Guenin Family Vacation 2010! 25 of my favorite Guenins vacationing it up for 3 glorious days :) Lots of baseball and swimming in the pool, and Euchre, and food, and more boat rides!

Visited a dairy farm. Almost saw a cow give birth. scarred for life.

Drove all by my lonesome to Chicago.

Ate at some of my favorite restaurants with some of my favorite girls!

Photo shoot. Photo shoot.

Drive back to Indy.

Nephew’s 7th Birthday extravaganza! Star Wars. Toy Story 3. repeat.

Got caught on the boat in the POURING rain.

Photo shoot.

Drove solo from Indy to Columbus to Rochester, NY to Woburn, MA.

sigh.

It sure was FUN! And super exhausting ;) I would share more photos, but I think my clients need me to get back to work after all this time off! Back to editing I go… :)

Angie & Matt’s eSession – Boston, MA

Krista Guenin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:49:56 +0000

Angie & Matt were in town a couple weeks ago for a weekend of wedding planning excitement, so we met up downtown for their engagement session. We had no idea if it was going to pour down rain or not, but we took a chance and it ended up being a great (and HOT) afternoon!

We started off at the Boston Harbor Hotel under the archway…

They’re pretty cute

A gnarly iron bridge seems like a perfect place for photos, if you ask me!

We hopped a cab over to Beacon Hill for a little more of a classic Boston feel

And then it started to rain, so we ducked into a little cafe. A crowded cafe with no air conditioning, I might add.

Then the rain stopped… it IS Boston after all. So we walked towards the river and found all sorts of great spots along the way!

This might be my favorite…

Turns out these two met at a sailing class here on the Charles River! We had to go revisit the scene :)

Angie & Matt – it was so great to finally meet you two! Thanks for a fun afternoon and for putting up with all the heat and rain to get some great photos. The wedding is going to be a blast, I’m totally looking forward to it! :)

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!!

To see more of my MANY favorites from this shoot, please check out the album on Facebook!

Featured Weddings

Krista Guenin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:00:41 +0000

In the last few weeks it’s been very fun and pretty exciting to see a bunch of my weddings featured on some awesome wedding blogs!

Elena & Dan’s wedding was featured on Beantown Bride this week. Beantown Bride is a great new site for local Boston Brides, I’m excited to be a part of it!

Megan & Mike’s wedding was featured on WeddingWire. Coincidentally, I saw all three of Megan’s bridesmaids that week! So fun!

and Britt & Mike’s wedding was also featured on WeddingWire!

I’m honored to have my work featured on both of these excellent resources! It’s really very exciting and a little overwhelming!

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…

Go check out the article!!

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.

Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding at the Commander’s Mansion

Krista Guenin — Fri, 21 May 2010 17:43:11 +0000

I’ve already told you how much I love Sylvia & Ricky, so I probably don’t need to say that again ;) But, let me tell you how hard it was to choose images for this post! I had so many favorites from this wedding, it’s ridiculous! So, here are a few of my favorite favorites – but if you want to see more, you should check out the album on Facebook and check back here in a couple days for some of the details from the day!

Sylvia was lovin’ those eyelashes!

My assistant Andrea Servidone captured this shot and I love it! Sylvia’s hand makes it perfect.

Ricky’s brother insisted he could tie a tie better than Ricky… Of course, Ricky re-tied the tie a few minutes later ;)

Reading a card from Sylvia… I LOVE his reaction!

These two are big into cards… Here’s Sylvia reading her card from Ricky :)

Ugh! Her dress was so GORGEOUS!! It was so soft and lovely, I just kept wanting to touch it – but I didn’t.

Haha! The many faces of a bride before her wedding…

My Second Shooter, Johnny Arguedas captured this great shot while the guys were waiting for us to arrive at the Commander’s Mansion.

One of my favorite First Look reactions ever! (Johnny caught Sylvia’s reaction)

There was a lot of laughter that day…

Seriously, she’s so cute!

A few portraits inside the mansion

And then a few out by the grape arbor. Andrea caught this one through the fence.

And Johnny had the brilliant idea to put them under the arbor. I was avoiding it because of the shadows, but I actually love how the shadows turned out. Here’s Johnny’s take on the moment.

Then it was off to the St. John’s Korean United Methodist Church in Lexington for the ceremony. I love how her Dad is looking at her before he walks her down the aisle! So sweet!

Johnny caught this great shot of the Bride & Groom going down the aisle

After the wedding ceremony, Sylvia & Ricky had a traditional Korean Pae Baek for their families, complete with a change of outfits, excessive heat and a piggy-back ride…

Then it was back to the Commander’s Mansion for the super fun dance party!!

Sylvia & Ricky – you’re awesome. period. :)

The Great Giveaway!

Krista Guenin — Fri, 21 May 2010 16:44:26 +0000

Going on VACATION!!

Krista Guenin — Sun, 09 May 2010 13:15:17 +0000

Well, it’s that time of year again! Time for a trip to the BEACH with the fam!! I will officially be off-line for most of next week, so don’t expect an email or call from me unless it’s REALLY important! I’ll be busy…

Looking at clouds…

watching dolphins swim free…

having a ridiculous amount of fun with my niece & nephews, sister, bro-in-law, and parents…

We will be sure to grab some family portraits too!

I’ll even get a couple photos of ME! (my sister took this one :)

And my nephew, Tristan took this one!

And, since it’s Mother’s Day… Here’s me & my Momma! Happy Mother’s Day Mom! I love you, and double-love that we get to spend the day together on the beach!!!!!!!! S.W.A.K!

Ok, I’m off! Have a great week people!

Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding – Sneak Peak!

Krista Guenin — Sat, 08 May 2010 20:41:38 +0000

I shot the most wonderful wedding for one of my favorite couples last weekend! Since it was my first wedding of the season, and because I love Sylvia & Ricky so much – I performed a little experiment this week to see if it was even possible for me to edit the whole event before leaving for vacation tomorrow. Well, I got super close, but I really need to start packing now… So, here’s a little sneak peak to whet your appetite!

The Bridal Party at the Commander’s Mansion

Sylvia & Ricky :)

Sylvia’s dress was GORGEOUS!!!! Do you see that layer of gray toulle she’s got going on there? Such a cool touch!!

Under the grape arbor

And, just because Sylvia *loves* cake so much… YUM!!

Sylvia & Ricky – I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon! Sorry to tease you with a few, but hopefully it’ll get you that much more excited to see the rest when I get back from vacation! :)

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!
