Baby Cameron — Maternity Session

Meet Christina and Terry. They were so excited for the arrival of their first baby, they decided to do a Year-In-The-Life portrait series! So Krista met them last year at the Crane Estate for some maternity pictures just before Baby Cameron’s arrival… Get a load of all this cuteness.

Such a beautiful mama-to-be!

Seriously, how cute are these two?

Hmmm, wonder who the “boss” is…. :)

Comparing baby bellies! Love it!

If you think these two are adorable (how could you not?), just wait until you meet Cameron! His lips are truly to die for! :)

Lori + Jim – Cape Cod Engagement Session

Lori and Jim ran around the beach in Dennis, MA with Krista. They brought their adorable dog and had a great time. We can’t wait to see them this Saturday for their wedding! Woohoo!

It was pretty windy out there but don’t they still look great?!

They stepped away from the wind for a second…

And grabbed some of these, my favorites!

So cute!

My favorite!

Thank you both! We can’t wait to party with you this weekend! Check out their Facebook album for more!

Anna Kathryn + Joel — Seaward Inn Wedding – xo, CoCo

In case you haven’t read the previous post, I (CoCo) shot this wedding back in September 2011 for these two adorable people, Anna Kathryn and Joel who also happen to be Krista’s good friends. Now that our blog is caught up, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites with you from some of MY older weddings while I’m editing my first Engagement Session of 2013, with many more to come! Woohoo!

OK, let’s start out with AK, getting ready.

Oh, and her AMAZING vintage details and dress!

Getting nervous… :)

AK and her mom praying together, I just love how tiny she looks… so sweet.

This DRESS.

Isn’t she stunning?!

FAVE.

LOVE her.

When I said this was a small wedding, I meant it!

Such a gorgeous spot.

It came time for the kiss and AK got her amazing red lipstick ALL OVER Joel… hahahahahah it was AWESOME!

We had a lovely and intimate dinner just after sunset.

Then Joel, an amazing musician, played us some tunes on the piano.

AHH!! I love you guys! What a fun day it was out in Rockport with you and your families. I can’t believe it’s been two years! Thanks everyone for a taking a look at a bit of my work. Now stay tuned for more and more as wedding season starts to pick up! Woohoo!

Anna Kathryn + Joel — North End Engagement – xo, CoCo

Hey everyone! Wedding season is ramping up over here at Krista Photography, and now that I’m DONE with our better-late-then-never posts, I have a little more room to show you some of my work! This is Anna Kathryn (AK, as we call her) and Joel. Anna Kathryn does fabulous hair and Joel is a musician, they are both friends of Krista’s, and duh, they are insanely adorable. I shot their wedding in September 2011, oh my gosh, has it been TWO years, it feels like yesterday. Crazy! Anyways, about a month beforehand we got together on an otherwise dreary afternoon in downtown Boston. We started out near Berkelee College of Music where Joel went to school and romped around from there… Feast your eyes on these cuties!

Love!

We explored and found this awesome little nook behind a building.

Of course we had to get over to Mike’s pastry for a snack!

MMMM!!

Love their nerdy T-shirts!

Wait, which way do we stand…

We found a little street fair over in the North End, there was just the right amount of people there!

I loved the look of this little street, so we hung out for a second and then someone shot off firecrackers! It was awesome.

Thanks for taking a look! Now just you wait until Monday for their intimate vintage wedding in Rockport! And like us on facebook in the mean time!

Casey + Paul — The Villa Wedding

THIS IS IT guys! I am finally done blogging our past couples, and better-late-then-never is coming to a close! Thank you so much for checking in here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to check out all this adorableness. And be sure to stay tuned for some of my very own couples coming up on Friday!

Ok, now wil you LOOK at those two! These cuties were married on a gorgeous day at The Villa in East Bridgewater, MA. The bride got ready at her father’s house where Krista and I met up with her.

Her dad is so adorable, waving to everyone as they left in the limo…

Our good friend Allana Taranto hung out with the dudes. Love this of Paul and his old school portraits!

Multitasking.

These next two of Paul are from Allana.

I can’t take it! Her dad is soooo cute!

Yea girl!

I shot these details of the ceremony, inside, it was lit beautifully with candles and lanterns.

Married! This one is from Allana.

I grabbed these details during portraits.

Man we caught some great light!

Allana shot this first detail…

I shot the cake.

This is mine from the first dance too. The building was super interesting looking.

We ran out for a few more portraits with some off-camera flash, it was all Allana’s idea. Love these!

Then it was time to party! This dance party was absolutely crazy. CRAZY.

Pretty sure Paul was singing Meat Loaf at this point…

This is mine, Paul’s brother was a dancing machine.

These people have the sweetest parents!

Oh my gosh, my FAVORITE, after the last dance Casey and Paul went around hugging everyone who had circled around them. It was a cry fest!

Guys! You are so awesome! Thank you for being so wonderful to work with before, on, and after your wedding! It was an absolute pleasure!

Casey + Paul — Newport Engagement Session

Horray!! It’s my very last better-late-then-never couple! I can’t believe it, just ONE MORE POST after this. What am I going to do when I don’t have to blog anymore?! Oh, that’s right blog all of our amazing NEW couples coming up next month, YES! But patience, good things come to those who wait.

Ok, here we go, meet Paul and Casey, some of the cutest people ever! These two romped all around Newport, RI with Krista one lovely evening. They caught some gorgeous light, found some really cute spaces, and had a fantastic time! I also must commend Casey’s color choice, I LOVE a guy in neutral and a girl in a gorgeous pop of color. They look great!

That light! Dang!

Snuggles and giggles, my favorite :)

That soft sunset glow! Gorgeous!

Thank you Casey and Paul! ‘Like’ us and check out more on facebook! We’ll see you onWednesday for my VERY LAST POST!

Rhetta + Bill — Adorable Arnold Arboretum Family Portraits

Krista shot Rhetta and Bill’s wedding back in 2004 when she was working in Chicago for Real Life Weddings. They then moved to Boston, and then Krista moved to Boston… you see where this is going, right? :) They reconnected for several shoots as their family began to grow (here and here) and then Rhetta and Bill moved to Houston where they currently reside. Krista has no plans to move to Houston, so now she photographs the family when they come to Boston for vacation.

THIS is what Krista Photography is all about. Getting to know a couple through the wedding process, being there to capture their growing family over the years. Hannah and Sophie have even invited Krista to come visit them in Texas, so they are basically BFFs now. :)

It certainly doesn’t hurt when the family is aDORable. And so clearly full of love for one another.

And FUN! So much fun!

Love this — Krista tells the family, “Show me your angry face.” Then it’s, “Show me your silly face!” And then it’s the money shot.

I don’t know, these girls just don’t seem to have any personality whatsoever. :)

I can’t stop smiling as I look through this session — so much goofy family fun! :)

I’m pretty sure Hannah saw a bug…

Thank you, Rhetta and Bill, for continuing to trust Krista to capture the important moments in your life! Your family is wonderful and we hope you visit Boston again SOON!!

K+L — Fabulous State Room Wedding Details

Oh man oh man have I been looking forward to this post!! Our fabulous couple was married at the State Room in downtown Boston. We had a gorgeous Fall day in Boston with these two and their lovely families, and wanted to share the absolutely stunning details with you. Just a warning, you are going to be BLINDED by diamonds in a couple seconds…

Um. YEA.

Krista had a lot of fun with these gorgeous Manolo’s!

The wonderful Lara Woolfson helped us out that day as well, she started with the boys at the Ames Hotel. We LOVE that place!

We had some gorgeous light in the Public Gardens in the afternoon!

The dresses were all matching silhouettes, with some beautifully simple white flowers.

Can’t get enough of those earrings!

Beautiful view from the State Room just before the ceremony.

The ceremony scene was so romantic!

Sushi, truffle fries, and mac and cheese!?

I mean this place was dripping in flowers!

OK, now onto the tables, which all varied in size, shape, and decoration. It was the most interesting and beautiful room!

The table arrangement was so fun!

And you know, Krista just HAD to shoot some more of those rings!

Hope you guys didn’t get blinded by all the sparkle! We have these lovely people to thank for this gorgeous event! There is more on facebook as well, thanks and see you Friday!

Baby Judah – Newborn Session

Yay! It’s time to meet Baby Judah! Krista had taken Suze’s maternity pictures just a couple of weeks before Judah was born and was very excited to return and meet this little guy when he was only a few days old!

How cute is he??

Such a sweet little family!

Poppin’ his collar. He’s already the coolest kid on the block! :)

So peaceful, yet so COOL with his little button down shirt and jeans!

If you don’t already know, I love me some baby toes! :)

Already sharing a laugh with his mama!

I mean, how can you not LOVE that little grin??

I absolutely love family history and the sharing of things between generations. So I LOVE that this is the same bassinet that Judah’s father and grandfather slept in as babies!

Su-per Ba-by!!!

Oh my… the hazards of photographing a NAKED newborn baby, especially baby BOYS! Great capture, Krista! :) I’m sure that Judah’s prom date will get a kick out of this one someday!

However, without risking a little mess a picture like this would never happen. So darn adorbs.

Judah doesn’t seem so impressed, but I am totally digging his striped hat!

LOVE.

For more of Judah’s adorable little mug, check out Facebook. And check back in on Wednesday for our next fabulous couple!!
