Baby AJ – One Month Old Newborn Portrait Session

It’s amazing how different a newborn looks just a few short weeks after birth!  This little cutie has grown a bunch of hair and has cheeks that just BEG for kisses.  Krista visited Jennifer, YiFeng and AJ at their home just a couple of weeks after they left the hospital.

A bit sleep deprived, but new parenthood definitely works for these two!

What in the world are you dreaming about, AJ?

I know it’s impossible to believe, but this kid just continues to get cuter and cuter. (No, seriously, Pam is in the other room *literally* editing pictures of AJ at his current age of 18 months and the cuteness factor continues to be off the chart!)  Stay tuned for a peek at AJ at six months in a few days!  I promise you will not be disappointed!

Ashley + Andrew — Paul Revere Park Engagement – xo, CoCo

Engagement Portrait Session near the Zakim Bridge in Boston

I mean would you just LOOK at that face?! I’ll admit, this laugh was induced by the embarrassment of public kissing, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do! Ashley and Andrew were such fabulous company on this surprisingly warm Fall evening in Boston. They took me on a tour of their gorgeous Charlestown streets, showed me all their favorite little spots, and we even made our way over to the brand new Paul Revere Park under the Zakim Bridge. This night was, I daresay, TOO fun.

Lovely Summer Wedding at the Lyman Estate

Take a look at Sarah and Mike’s beautifully intimate and personal details! So much of their personality shined through during their wedding day at the Lyman Estate, right down to the programs, how cute are those?! I loved every moment of their wedding, I hope you enjoy a few more of my favorite moments and details! Let’s start with the most important part, the shoes.

I can’t speak to how comfortable these were… pain is beauty, and aren’t they such a great color?!

Sarah’s beautiful one-shoulder dress is from The Bridal Garden in Manhattan, a not-for-profit bridal boutique that donates their proceeds to help educate disadvantaged children, now that’s a business model we can get behind!
