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!  :)

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

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!

Baby Cameron — Six Month Portrait Session

Six month old 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 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

Dawson 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!)

Baby Cameron — Maternity Session

Maternity Portrait 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.

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??

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!

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.  :)

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.

Baby Bobby – Six Month Session

Suzanne’s sister bought this session as a baby shower gift before Bobby was even born. Can you think of a better gift than that?!  (Me, neither)   :)

Krista’s yard is full of colorful trees throughout autumn, making it a perfect location for portraits during the fall.  I dare you not to smile as you check out Baby Bobby’s six month shoot.  Double dare you.

Baby Bobby – Newborn Session

I’m back!  And with another ridiculously adorable baby to share (this little guy has the MOST incredible head of hair I’ve ever seen on such a little guy)!  Baby Bobby’s mama is one of Krista’s dear friends.  Krista was thrilled when Suzanne and Michiel announced that they were expecting a  baby last year.  It was a long hard pregnancy, but Baby Bobby arrived healthy and handsome as could be!  Take a look for yourself.

Such a beautiful moment between a mama and her little love.

Suzanne and Michiel (who is from Holland!) met while working for Mercy Ships.  During her time in Africa, Suzanne bought fabric that she used to make this beautiful quilt for Bobby.  So not only is this blanket gorgeous, it is also incredibly meaningful.  How cool is that??

Baby Lane – Newborn Baby Portrait Session

Full disclosure: I LOVE babies. Their teeny tiny features get me every time!  Krista loves them too – especially when she gets to photograph the babies of our lovely brides!  What’s more fun than that?!

That said, Little Miss Lane, or Buggy as Lori calls her, is truly an adorable little button of a girl. Her mama made sure she was ready for her first photo shoot–flower in her hair, tutu of tulle around her bitty belly!
