Rhetta & Bill’s growing family

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

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

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

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

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!

Well, I’m back from vacation, and man it was WONDERFUL! It was so relaxing, and very very fun :) If I’m lucky, I might even be able to share some photos with you guys before next year’s vacation comes around!

This week has been pretty busy though because I’ve been preparing for a huge event we’re putting on at my church, GENESIS. It’s called The Great Giveaway, and basically it’s a huge yard sale where everything is FREE! That’s right, FREE! GENESIS was planted in Woburn last September as a brand new church and our mission is simply to love God and to love people. This is our way of introducing ourselves to the community, and just one way we’re hoping to live out our mission. If you live in the Boston area, I hope you can come!!

The Great Giveaway

GENESIS Community Church – 16 Wheeling Avenue, Woburn, MA

Saturday, May 22nd (that’s tomorrow!)

10am – 2pm

If you would like to donate anything to The Great Giveaway, it’s not too late! Our final drop-off time is this afternoon/evening. Just bring your furniture, clothing, kids toys, sporting equipment, books, CDs, salad spinners, or what have you to the church between 2pm – 9pm!

Sylvia & Ricky’s Wedding – Sneak Peak!

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

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!
