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!

Bonnie + Steve — Engagement Portrait Session

Somerville, MA Engagement Portrait Session

I had so much fun walking around Somerville with Bonnie & Steve during their engagement session!  It was great to just get to know them both a little better, and enjoy their neighborhood.  Engagement sessions are such a fun peek into my clients’ everyday lives – and I think that’s just as fun as being with them on the BIG days!

Taylor & Pete – Ferry Building, San Francisco, CA Engagement – xo, CoCo

M2314_D0001-Edit

Taylor, Pete, and I had the chance to get together for my favorite kind of meeting: one with beer! Which also happened to take place on a sunny 60-degree afternoon in San Francisco, in DECEMBER! I was in town for Christmas, they cut out of work early (shhhhh don’t tell…) and we had a great time getting to know each other, going over wedding day plans, washing down some delicious food with an Anchor Steam, and we even took a few pictures along the way!

Ain’t they cute?!

Hahaha!

Now THAT’s a blue sky.

Then we decided to stroll over to Pier 14

M2314_D0023-Edit

…where there was a GREAT view of the city!

M2314_D0027-Edit

And some beautiful light!

Woohoo! Taylor and Pete I am so glad we got to hang out! You guys are AWESOME, I can’t wait ’til September!

Follow along on the Krista Photography Facebook Page for ALL the pretty.

Nora + Kevin — Coolidge Corner Engagement – xo, CoCo

Adorable Engagement Portrait Session in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, MA

This was one of those nights that didn’t go exactly to plan, but that turned out better than any of us could have planned! (And included way more beer than should have been allowed…)

When I think of Nora and Kevin the first word that comes to mind is genuine. That is exactly how they are: sweet, genuine, silly, sarcastic, wonderful  people. We got along from the very start, and I love them because they were adventurous enough to 1) Suggest we shoot in their favorite bar, and thus be embarrassed to ever go back there again ;) and 2) Drink enough beer to survive shooting outside in the freezing cold because I wanted to experiment! So, while it wasn’t the original plan, we ended up hanging out at Otto Pizza in Coolidge Corner, then wandering around the theater across the street. It was great fun and these two faces make me so happy. (Side-note: I’m not the only one who was obsessed, there was a collective “Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww…” in the office for DAYS and these pictures circulated from Pam to Krista and I). See for yourself!

In my opinion, ALL engagement sessions should start with beer. :)

It was SUPER cold by this point in the night, but these two were such troopers! So we wandered over to the Coolidge Corner Theater, and I made them snuggle in an alleyway, so romantic right? ;)

My trusty assistant Pam helped me light the fire escape out behind the theater. How fun!

Then we walked a little more to get warmed up.

Can you even handle the cuteness?? I can’t wait to see these guys again at the Epicenter in June! Nora, thank you for rolling with the punches and being so lovely! Kevin thank you for being so late and “forcing” us to drink so much delicious beer, I could not be happier with the results! :) Find more on Facebook!

Ashley + Andrew — Paul Revere Park Engagement – xo, CoCo

Engagement Portrait Session near the Zakim Bridge in Boston

I mean would you just LOOK at that face?! I’ll admit, this laugh was induced by the embarrassment of public kissing, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do! Ashley and Andrew were such fabulous company on this surprisingly warm Fall evening in Boston. They took me on a tour of their gorgeous Charlestown streets, showed me all their favorite little spots, and we even made our way over to the brand new Paul Revere Park under the Zakim Bridge. This night was, I daresay, TOO fun.

We strolled back over near their apartment and found this gorgeous ivy.

We had to get something in front of their adorable building!

They have a pretty sweet roof-deck too, with a killer view of the Bunker Hill monument, what a great spot!

Ashley + Joe — Boston Winter Engagement Session

Boston Winter Engagement Session

Joe & Ashley live in Chicago, and LOVE black & white photography… so they were already my favorites before we even met each other!  When we did finally meet, it was for their wintery Boston engagement session – and they totally lived up to my expectations of awesomeness!

We started out with a drink at OAK Long Bar + Kitchen to get warmed up (both literally, and figuratively)…

Then we went for a little walk around Copley Square, in the cold… but they were able to keep each other both warm, and entertained :)

After we couldn’t feel our fingers and feet anymore, we hopped inside the Boston Public Library to warm up… and I swear, we TRIED to be quiet!

After we finally realized that they’d eventually kick us out for being so giggly… we went back out into the cold for a walk down Comm Ave!
I love those twinkly white lights!

Such a fun engagement session!!  See, we don’t need sunshine and green grass to make some beautiful portraits – even in the cold Boston snow, we can have fun together and get some awesome photos!

Can’t wait to share more from Ashley & Joe’s killer wedding in my next post!  Stay tuned!
(And if you seriously can’t wait, you can head over to their Facebook album and see it all there!)
