Baby Delia at One Year – Reading MA

Krista Guenin — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:11:02 +0000

A couple of years ago, I started offering Year-in-the-Life portrait packages to my clients. I think it’s so neat to capture all of the little changes that take place over the course of a year, especially all of the big changes that happen in a baby’s first year! It’s really fun to watch these little ones grow and develop their own little personalities. Though it’s always a bit sad when the time comes for the last session and I know I won’t be seeing them every few months!

Baby Delia’s Year-in-the-Life began in the Fall of 2009 with maternity photos for mommy-to-be, Eileen.

And then there were newborn photos!

Our 6 month portraits were a little tricky due to a cold…

So we tried again at 8 months

And now we come to the end of the “year”… she was actually about 13 months when we finally were able to shoot this time, but you get the idea ;)

It was so nice to see her laughing and smiling so much!

Reading some books with Daddy!

don’t forget the family pets! Gotta love the cat in the crib ;)

snack time!

Haha, kids never want to get dressed to go outside!

LOVE that face!!

so sweet!

Eileen, Delia & Fabio

Eileen, Fabio & Delia – thank you so much for sharing this year with me! It’s been so fun to get to know you all over the last many months and to see your family, and Delia, grow!

Baby Delia’s Year-in-the-Life: 8 Months

Krista Guenin — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 14:03:47 +0000

A couple months ago I set out to photograph baby Delia for her 6-month session in her Year-in-the-Life portraits, but she wasn’t feeling well and cried most of the time :( So, we waited a few weeks and tried again. This time she was feeling much better and enjoyed the shoot a little more, thank goodness!

Even though she was feeling better, she still wasn’t interested in smiling for the camera. She was MUCH more interested in this leaf!

There’s her smile!

Delia & Daddy

Looking at the flowers with Mommy

She mostly wanted to eat them :)

Can we talk about these eyes for a minute?! Woah!

By this point she was pretty much done, so we walked back to the house

Now, back at home was a whole different story! She was having way more fun – blowing raspberries and babbling up a storm :)

The whole family – cats included :)

Can’t believe the next time I see Delia she’ll be one year old!! It’ll be here before you know it!!

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!

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 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!

Susan & Ethan’s Family Portraits – Indianapolis, IN

Krista Guenin — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 23:44:36 +0000

Ten years ago, I had just graduated from Butler University and was living in Indianapolis with my friend Susan. I was also working in a psychiatric clinic at a children’s hospital with kids with autism and OCD, but that was in another life… Anyway, it was a bit surreal to meet Susan and her husband and three beautiful children back on campus at Holcomb Gardens this summer for some family photos! We had a blast hanging out though, and I was totally excited to meet baby Lily for the first time!

This is my boy, Jack. We’re totally buds…

Wherever the big brother goes, the little brother will follow…

Ethan and Sam

Susan and Lily

Ugh! Those lips and those eyes!!! And the chubs – I just want to squeeze her!!!!

The whole family. I can’t tell you how many shots it took to get this one where they’re all looking and smiling!!

Sammy and Grandma

haha! What’s wrong Sam?

I LOVE this shot of Jack blowing bubbles!!

Near the end of the session, Sue busted out this gorgeous pink tutu for Lily!!! It was FABULOUS!

This is my FAVORITE!!!

Lily didn’t really want to pose for us…

Momma makes it all better though :)

We even caught a few shots of Sue and Ethan as a couple. Too many people get married, have kids and never seem to get their photo taken as a couple anymore!

And, of course, I have to share a compilation of some of my favorite Jack faces :)

Sue – it was SO great to see you guys!! Thank you for a fun afternoon, and for a delicious dinner. Your family is so delightful, and just insanely cute! I just love that we’re connected again and I get to see your little family grow :)
