Oh baby AJ, we just can’t get enough of you! At six months old, baby AJ was preparing to celebrate his first holiday season and Krista was able to spend some time with his family. AJ’s grin just gets bigger and more dimple-licious with each passing month!

Sorry AJ, but when your cheeks are that kiss-able, you’re gonna get squished often with smooches!

Up next is somebody’s FIRST BIRTHDAY! And like I’ve said, the cuteness factor continues to rise…. :) I promise!

Baby AJ – Newborn Portrait Session at Hospital

Last year Krista had the incredibly special opportunity to photograph the arrival of her dear friends Jennifer & YiFeng’s first born son! Alexander Justus, baby AJ, arrived healthy and perfect in every way! Krista was able to go into the delivery room just a few moments after he was born, she still talks about what an honor it was to be one of the first people to meet this special little boy. (She also may or may not have been scarred for life by the experience, but clearly, it was worth it) ;)

I say it every time, but I just LOVE me some baby piggies!! Look at those wrinkly little toes!

In a few days you’ll get to see just how much baby AJ changed in the first few weeks of his life! (And just wait until you see how stinking adorable he is now!)

Ohhhhh these two. You may remember these adorable faces from their Providence, RI engagement session where I fell in LOVE with them. Lephan and Scotty are two of the most joyful people I’ve met, I’m so happy I was there to capture that joy on their wedding day, and let me tell you there was a LOT of it. This day was a smashing end to our season, I think you’ll be able to see for yourselves why we love these two so much.

I started out with Lephan as she got ready, and had a really fun time getting into her dress. Just LOVE this :)

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

Laurie and Hakan were married at The Taj in Boston. It was chilly and the leaves were just barely changing color in the city. Their day was magical, the couple celebrated with their families from all over the world, and somehow they found THE one orange tree in the Public Gardens to shoot near :)

Let’s start out with Laurie, getting ready in her hotel suite.

The lovely Cristen Farrell was assisting Krista that day, and grabbed this, love the attention to detail. :)

Anne Ruthmann started with Hakan and his boys.

Off to the first look!

Love this!

Shot with Krista’s Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 35mm film.

Cristen caught these little ladies goofing off, so cute!

Cristen shot from the balcony for this one. The ballroom was stunning!

Anne grabbed this of the happy couple!

I LOVE Laurie’s Mom’s face when she saw the room for the first time! Along with the photographers, she was stunned!

Here’s one of Cristen’s shots of the room, more of this on the next post (promise!), oh it was GORGEOUS!

Cristen grabbed this during their first dance, it was choreographed and everything!

Drinking out of BEAKERS? Is that allowed? :) The Maid of Honor’s toast was AWESOME!! Perfect for these two chemists, she even related their love to covalent bonds and all sorts of things we barely understood, and ended with a champagne toast from beakers… perfect!

Get down with your bad self, Hakan!

LOVE this from Cristen!

What a super fun day this was! Laurie and Hakan, you and your families were absolutely wonderful to work and party with! :) Thank you so much for inviting us in to document your love! Now don’t forget to come back Monday for their crazy beautiful details! And check out facebook for more :) See you Monday!
