There is no better season than fall in New England!  Perfect for a day of mini-sessions.  Special thanks to Russell Farms for (once again!) loaning us some bales of hay and pumpkins for the day!

And this little guy.  Well, Christopher is basically one of the Krista Photography team.  We’d steal him in a heartbeat if his parents would let us! (They won’t. We’ve asked. More than once.)  ;)

Krista’s niece and nephews are such goofballs!  Which is just one of the many reasons why we love them!

Baby Mason – Downtown Boston Family Portrait Session

111514_D0064-Edit
Krista shot Katelyn and Evan’s wedding several years ago and now they have a super cute little guy named Mason!  They all met up in Boston, on a very chilly fall day, and wandered around.  Mason was such a trooper and happily walked around in the cold, allowing Krista to capture his dimpled grin at every turn!

Baby Donnie – Backyard family portrait session

110114_D0029-Edit

Krista met Jessica several years ago when she was a bridesmaid in Elena and Dan’s wedding and was thrilled to hear from her wanting to do family portraits at the family’s home.  Backyard firepit, a walk in the woods, an adorable pup AND baby boy with two perfectly placed bottom teeth – it made for a fabulous morning!

Liz + Dylan — Reid Castle Wedding Details – xo, CoCo

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle Manhattanville College

 

I am so excited to show off all these GORGEOUS details from Liz and Dylan’s fun, emotional, autumnal wedding day. Liz and Dylan, and many other family members worked so hard to make this day perfect, and I’m telling you it was! Take a look at all the beautifully rich colors and personal details they put together, I can’t get enough!

Krista was my second shooter for the day, (what a dream!), she also brought along a couple film cameras to play with. This was shot on her Widelux camera on Kodak Tri-x400 35mm film, isn’t it dreamy?

Glamorous Wedding at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College

Liz and Dylan were faves from the start. Their sense of humor, all-together cuteness, absolute adoration of each other, not to mention their hilarious families and especially Dylan’s dad’s mustache, made their wedding day one of the BEST days. Ever. No seriously. Go ahead, see for yourself.

I started with Liz as she got ready in the bridal suite at Reid Castle, on the campus of Manhattanville College. This place was so cool! So many beautiful and interesting indoor spaces, with gorgeous light inside and out!

 Already thinking like a big boy:  You can never be overdressed in a sandbox; best to always be prepared in case a lovely little lass comes over for an unexpected playdate.  :)

Baby AJ is getting bigger!  And he’s SO full of grins!  Krista was able to meet the family in their home around the holidays to capture AJ at four months old.  In case you have forgotten, Delia was pretty stinking cute at a similar age…  :)

Baby AJ – Maternity Shoot

I have another sweet family to share with you, starting with their very colorful maternity shoot taken at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield.  Eileen and Fabio had Year-In-The-Life Portraits taken back in 2009 as they welcomed little Delia into their family.  (Check them out here!)
