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 Soren’s First Family Portraits – Lansing MI

Krista Guenin — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:31:25 +0000

Elizabeth & Ryan’s was one of my favorite weddings I’ve ever shot (you’ll notice it’s still a Featured Post), and I was so excited for them when I heard they’d had a baby! Baby Soren came this past fall, and just before the holidays I traveled to Michigan to photograph him with his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Four generations! It was such a special weekend for their family, and I am so glad I was able to document this moment in their lives!

This is what I really love about my job – having the opportunity to photograph people’s lives, and being a part of all sorts of special moments over the years – it’s such a blessing! And getting to play with adorable babies is definitely a bonus ;)

Sleepy Soren

He looks so happy here – but the truth is, he’s crying ;)

Just as happy as on their wedding day!

Now he’s waking up!

Soren and his Great Grandmother

We took some snowy family photos between visits to the grandparents

Soren & his Great Grandfather

Soren & his Grandparents

I love this one!

Getting sleepy again… it comes full circle

Elizabeth’s Grandfather was fairly ill when we visited (not that you could tell from looking at this handsome, cheerful man!). It was incredibly moving to be part of this family portrait session knowing that they might not have another chance to all be together again. Tears were definitely shed. But it was an absolute honor to be there for them. This is the one shot I wanted the entire day, and it’s the last one I took. I just love it.

[edit] I literally just found out that this lovely man passed away yesterday. I am SO thankful that we were able to do this portrait session when we did. What a blessing that he was able to meet his great-grandchild, and how awesome that their family has these photos. This is the most beautiful thing about my job.

Elizabeth & Ryan (and Barbara) – thank you again for allowing me to be there to photograph your wonderful family! It means so much to me to be trusted and appreciated so much by all of you! It’s truly a blessing :)

Baby Jude – Newborn Portraits

Krista Guenin — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:48:51 +0000

My dear friends Lindsey & David recently had their first child – two days before my birthday in fact! I was super sad that I was out of town when little Jude was born, but I stopped by the hospital as soon as I got back into town and celebrated my birthday by holding this little cutie and capturing some newborn portraits of him. Here are a few of my favorites…

I LOVE this shot of David with Jude!!! SO sweet! David’s going to be such a great Daddy :)

Lindsey’s such a loving Mommy already!

And now they are three…

little precious

It worked out so perfectly that Lindsey’s mom was in town from Oklahoma to be there! I love these shots of Lindsey and Jude, and Mimi :)

Lindsey & David – you know I love you! And baby Jude… I can’t wait to hold you and kiss you again SOOOON!!!!

xoxo

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!!

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!

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 :)

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!

Baby Chloe at 4 months – Year-in-the-Life

Krista Guenin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:48:54 +0000

I am really loving these Year-In-The-Life photo sessions! It is so fun to capture all the changes as a child grows over the course of her first year on this earth! It’s pretty amazing, actually.

You may remember baby Chloe, who was born to Gretchen & Justin last summer. Well, she’s just growing and growing, and we had some time right around her 4-month birthday to capture some new images. This may be my favorite age…somewhere between 3 months and crawling is the sweet spot. They’re adorable and chubby, they have personality and expression, they can handle being moved around and will put up with a lot of photo taking, and they can’t get away! And Chloe proved to be all of those things…

oooooh, she’s too cute!

haha! Love this one!

The next few images were taken with my Nikon 105mm micro lens – it let’s me get in nice and tight!

Some fun with Mommy & Daddy

And then it’s back to sleep…

Gretchen & Justin – I hope you guys are well, and Chloe’s enjoying her first Boston winter! Thank you for having me into your home yet again. Chloe is adorable, and I can’t wait to see how much she grows by our next session! :)

Baby Delia – Newborn Portraits

Krista Guenin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:24:13 +0000

Not long ago, I captured some maternity portraits for Eileen & Fabio as part of a Year-In-The-Life Session. Well, just a couple months later, baby Delia came into the world! I met up with them over the holidays to capture some of Delia’s first hours at home.

Newborns are so tiny and delicate and precious, and they grow up so fast! It’s great to be able to get there to document the first days of a brand new life!

Fabio with his new baby girl

Totally cozy in Momma’s arms

YAAWWNN!

Oh, the tiny little eyelashes!

Dalia’s aunt looks like she’s about as happy as I was to become an aunt! It really is the BEST!

3 Generations on each side of the family

Eileen & Fabio – thank you so much for inviting me into your home and your life. I’m so excited to document Delia’s first year! She’s SO sweet. It’s going to be a blessing to watch her grow and change over the next 12 months!

A Year In The Life – Chloe’s Newborn Session

Krista Guenin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:52:53 +0000

Well, it wasn’t long after Gretchen’s Maternity Session that little baby Chloe came along! I was able to get over to the house just a day after she came home from the hospital. I love little newborn babies because they’re SO tiny and cute! And Chloe was no exception :)

Look at those little fingernails and tiny toes!

They decorated her room in Winnie The Pooh! Eeyore was always my favorite…

I think this was the only second I actually saw her eyes

Of course, that meant that I had woken her up, and she did not like that one bit!

But swaddling her back up into a little baby burrito made her happy again :)

I love the look on new parents’ faces – some combination of awe and wonder and joy and concern (and maybe trepidation)

Justin & Gretchen – Congratulations!!! Chloe is precious! You two are going to be such great parents, and I’m so excited to document this next year as Chloe grows with you!

Abigail Marie

Krista Guenin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:09:00 +0000

A couple weeks ago, my dear friend Diana gave birth to a BEAUTIFUL baby girl, Abigail Marie! Abigail is SO adorable – she came out perfect :) Diana and her husband Jonathan are first time parents and it’s so fun to see them on this exciting new adventure. I had the chance to visit them this week and take some portraits of the new baby and the new mommy. Check them out…

Diana is going to be such an awesome Mom!

Abigail was one tired little girl!

Sweet Princess :)

Look at that precious little profile!!

She’s just sooo cute!

Congratulations once again Diana & Jonathan! And welcome to the world little Abigail – you are in very good hands :)
