Spring Mini Sessions 2016 – Lake Quannapowitt

Spring Mini Portrait Sessions at Lake Quannapowitt - Wakefield, MA. Photography by Krista Guenin - Krista Photography www.kristaphoto.com

Once or twice a year, I offer Portrait Mini Sessions for those families who want updated portraits, but perhaps don’t have the time or the budget for a full session.  I keep them limited to clients and friends I’ve worked with before, who have a good understanding of my style.  It makes these quick 15 minute sessions go so much smoother when we already have a relationship!  This year, we wanted some pretty Spring colors, so we ended up shooting in the old cemetery at Lake Quannapowitt, in Wakefield MA.  It was BEAUTIFUL!

Ashley & Scott Anniversary Portraits – Lewiston, Maine

This blog you are visiting was designed by my very creative friend, Ashley!  She worked so hard on this project and, in my opinion, did a fabulous job!  A few weeks ago, I got to return the favor and take some photographs of her and her husband Scott.  Like too many people I know, Ashley & Scott didn’t have a professional photographer shoot their wedding, and they have no photos from the day to remember it all.  That just kills me :(  But it made me doubly excited to take some great photos of them to share with their grand kids one day!!

Laura & Bearden – An Anniversary Shoot in Central Park

Last Fall, I took a little trip to New York City for PDN PhotoPlus Expo. My friend Erica asked her friends Laura & Bearden if we could stay with them at their place while we were in town. They were fabulous hosts, and as a thank you, I spent an afternoon taking some Anniversary Photos of them in Central Park. It was so fun! Laura & Bearden are fascinating people, and it was doubly cool since I’d never been to Central Park before!

I love the view of the buildings behind the field!!

It was right about this point when one of Bearden’s students came along and saw us. Bearden spent the rest of the afternoon looking over his shoulder to see if there were students around. I think he was a little embarrassed to be seen out on a photo shoot ;)

Joe & Amanada’s Anniversary Portraits

Joe called me a couple of months ago with the idea to surprise his lovely wife, Amanda, with a photo shoot for their 5th anniversary. I thought that was flippin’ brilliant! You know what that tells me about Joe? It tells me he thinks his wife is just as beautiful as the day they got married, if not more. It tells me he really wants to make her feel special. And it tells me that he cherishes her as his wife as much as the mother of his children. I mean, how often do people get married, have kids, and never have another photo taken of just the two of them? Kids come along and suddenly, a lot of people forget that they’re still a couple. You know? So, anyway, I thought this was a great idea and I was really excited to help him surprise Amanda with a photo shoot downtown!

We met up at Christopher Columbus Park…



I love this one! It’s so sweet :)


We walked by the harbor…





Then we took a little stroll in the North End. They have the best alleys in the North End!!

Totally cute!



And finally we finished off the shoot over at Faneuil Hall. I’m thinking one of these days, I’ll have to do a photo shoot where we just walk to the whole Freedom Trail. I mean, we hit a lot of it this day, but that’d be kinda cool… Any takers?


Joe & Amanda, it was so great to meet you both! I’m glad I could help you with the surprise – and Amanda, I hope you had a great time and felt really special! Congratulations on five wonderful years together!!!
