A holiday session at home with family

winter extended family lifestyle portrait photography at home near Christmas

Talk about a quintessential pre – holiday family day! These grandparents had their children and grandchildren over for a beautiful session with Krista just before Christmas last year. My favorite moments captured are the ones that catch the family just being themselves. Sometimes quietly, sometimes goofily, but always genuine and real.

Mini Sessions 2014

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.) ;)

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!

A former bridesmaid (from not one, but TWO of Krista’s prior weddings!) + a pair of squishable baby boys + autumn in New England = the most perfectly adorable portrait session! Prepare yourself for some magic…

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!

Bermuda Mini-Portrait Sessions

Bermuda Mini Portrait Sessions

Since so many of Lori & Damian’s friends & family were coming down to Bermuda for the wedding, I offered some Mini-Portrait Sessions to everyone! Because who doesn’t want some great family photos to remember such an awesome vacation?! Check out my favorites from our Mini Sessions at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo!

Bermuda vacation!

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

One of the benefits of traveling to a destination wedding via cruise ship is that I was “forced” to be on vacation for a few days! To make it SO much more awesome, one of my best friends since childhood came along! Marietta had visited Bermuda after her graduation from THE Ohio State University, um, a lot of years ago – so it was extra sweet to visit together again!

Bermuda Vacation

Bermuda, the first time… we definitely missed our friend Kara this time around!
And also, we look like babies. Skinny, drunk, babies…

Leaving Boston!

Fun times on the ship!

The view from our ship when we arrived in port… not a bad site to see when you wake up in the morning!

This is how WE enjoyed the Welcome Dinner…

SO FUN!

And then it was time for a relaxing voyage home! Bye bye Bermuda!

My favorite color! I could stare at the ocean for hours!

On our last night, Lori & Damian invited us to dinner with the rest of the party – so of course, I took a group photo!

I’ve known this lady for over 30 years!!!! It was such a treat getting to enjoy all of this with such a dear friend!

Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding at Coco Reef

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

Lori & Damian’s wedding began with preparations in the morning, on the cruise ship!

Getting ready is a bit more complicated in a cruise ship cabin, with children & grandchildren around… ;)

A few portraits on the dock before heading to CoCo Reef!

One of my favorites from the day! I love how Damian loves his grandson!

CoCo Reef was a gorgeous place for a wedding!

Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding — Welcome Dinner

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

When Lori called me to discuss photographing her destination wedding, I was all ears! Then she told me that in order to do it all, I’d have to accompany them on their 7-day cruise from Boston to Bermuda, I was like YES PLEASE!! Sign me up! It was such a great opportunity to get to know Lori & Damian, and a lot of the friends & family since half of the wedding guests came on the cruise too. What a fun way to get married!

On our first day in port in Bermuda, Lori & Damian had a Welcome Dinner at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. SO COOL! Everyone got entrance to the Zoo as part of the dinner, and had the chance to walk around and check out the wildlife and the views before the party started. The seals were my favorites!

A few portraits with the fishies before dinner… love these!

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

Dinner & drinks surrounded by tanks of fish on every side – it’s awe-inspiring!

Dark & Stormy anyone?

Much more to come… stay tuned!
