Baby AJ – Newborn Session

Time to meet little AJ! But first, big sister must get herself camera-ready. :)

AJ had his own way of preparing for the shoot! :)

I love this quiet moment caught between mama and her new baby.

Oh my goodness, the hair on this boy!! (Much like big sister had when she was a newborn!)

I LOVE the way Delia is gazing down at her brother in this one!

Such a silly sister!

Hello there, little man. :)

While I do have a bit of a thing for baby toes, these little fingers are SO darling! Such perfection.

Savoring a quiet moment.

Krista has now finished Baby AJ’s year-in-the-life sessions, so stay tuned to see more of this growing boy!!

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!)

I love this rustic-ish bench among the green. So pretty!

And of course, big-sister-to-be Delia could not be left out!

The expression. The jelly bracelets. This little lady is already channeling her inner-adolescent! :)

Having so much fun!

Already loving on her baby brother! So sweet.

And now they are a family of FOUR! Come back on Friday to meet baby AJ!

Baby Cameron – One Year Portrait Session

“Baby” Cameron is not such a baby these days! Krista met the family in Gloucester for Cameron’s final Year-in-the-Life session. And what a stud he is at one year old! They started at the Eastern Point Lighthouse, a lovely New England location near Wingaersheek Beach.

He’s still got that awesome furrowed brow look!

Look at how big he is!!

It was a crazy foggy day by the water!

Whee!

I promised a fedora…

And drool!

Dancing fool on the beach!

I mean, come ON! He even brought his own guitar.

I LOVE this shot with the sand flying!

Coolest family ever! :)

Oh Cameron, it has been SO fun watching you change and grow!! Happy first birthday, buddy!! And many thanks, Christina and Terry, for allowing Krista to document this past year! Be sure to let us know when you are ready to do it again! ;)

Baby Cameron — Six Month Portrait Session

So Krista caught up with Baby Cameron when he was six months old at the family’s home. From there they took a walk to the park for some perfect New England Fall foliage shots. Cameron was not all that interested in smiling, but I think you’ll agree he’s so stinking cute that it doesn’t matter!

I mean the lips. The hair. Can’t take it.

I almost forgot the eyelashes!!

Trying some moves on Krista! :)

They found some fabulous fall color at the park!

Nom nom nom. Just tasting the foliage… No big deal!

Best eyebrows ever.

Such a serious little heartbreaker.

Think I’ll just casually move this leaf to my mouth… no one will notice… :)

Such a beautiful family!

Apparently daddy is very funny! Basically all of the shots with Cameron smiling involve goofing around with his dad–love it!

I know I sound like a broken record, but as crazy as it sounds, Baby Cameron only continues to become cuter! I’m not kidding. Come back Friday to check out his one year shoot in Gloucester. Little dude will be in boat shoes and a fedora. THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS – not to be missed!

Baby Cameron – Newborn Portrait Session

I promised an amazing little man, and I’m confident that Baby Cameron won’t disappoint! Krista visited the family in their home soon after Cameron’s arrival. There really is something incredible about a baby who is only days old.

Check out all of that hair! (Just wait until you see how quickly it grows as he gets older! It’s awesome!)

“Oh, hey mom!”

Aren’t they the most relaxed looking new parents ever??

Serious milk coma!

The lips I was telling you about…

LOVE the expressions on these two!

I know it seems impossible, but Baby Cameron is even more adorable at his six month session! Come back Wednesday to see!

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! :)

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!!

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!!

Baby Judah – Maternity Shoot

Krista always loves to shoot her brides again, especially when they are also her very good friends! And double especially when her good friends/former wedding client’s are expecting a new baby! And I can’t think of a more perfect family to feature as we head into Mother’s Day weekend! You’ll probably remember Suze and Jeremy from their winter wedding one year ago. Well, they recently welcomed Baby Judah into the world. They asked Krista to stop by their home before Judah’s arrival to capture the glowing mama-to-be’s pregnant belly. And, of course, we’ll be sharing pictures of the little man himself in an upcoming post!

I am especially loving the beautiful canvas hanging behind them in this first picture! :)

Poor Kayak! She has no idea just how much life is going to be changing! Isn’t she a beautiful dog?

Are you noticing a consistency in Suze and Jeremy’s color palette?? I think they like the color orange (and, for the record, so do I!). :)

LOVE that Suze wore the shawl from her wedding for some shots of her beautiful belly!

Suze, we wish you the most wonderful first Mother’s Day!! Come back again Monday to meet Baby Judah!

Fall Mini-Portrait Session Fundraiser

Back in the fall, Krista was anxiously preparing for her journey to Nepal to work on a documentary film with Code Red Films and eager to get some portraits done before her trip. She decided to hold a fundraising mini-portrait marathon one October weekend to assist in the costs associated with her (not-for-profit) trip. After scouting beautiful trees and parks for weeks we finally decided to stage the event next door! With a little help from Russell Farms (who so graciously lent us hay stacks and pumpkins for the day), and Krista’s awesome neighbors, it could not have looked better!

There are SO many sweet families, I will *try* and let the pictures do most of the talking. :)

Goofy buddies!

These two families are full of besties. So much love!

Krista has some seriously gorgeous family, doesn’t she??

I love how this little crew of friends just fits together!

This little football player (oh how his dad would DIE – in a good way! – if that were to come true someday!) is a friend of mine. :) His mama and I met almost five years ago when we were both struggling with brand new little babes!

Such joy!

This little man is Dylan. Based on his genes, it is very likely that he will be a marathon runner by the time he is out of high school! Both of his parents can RUN.
