So, it’s been six months, but “baby” AJ turned ONE! Krista was invited over to document his first taste of cake (unsure at first… but someone figured it out!) and catch this family in the midst of life with an almost-toddler.
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.
GAH! Those lips! That little baby fist!
A bit sleep deprived, but new parenthood definitely works for these two!
Already giving a thumbs up for mom and dad! :)
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!
Baby Adira – Family Portrait Session on Cape Cod
Krista loves an excuse to take a drive down to the Cape during the summer. This adorable family certainly didn’t hurt the cause! Adira is simply scrumptious!
I mean, those EYES!
Seriously.
Not such a bad view. It was really the perfect summer day on the Cape.
I seriously can’t even!!
GORGEOUS!
Nom nom nom.
“Oh hi! Wanna play?”
Evita and Michael, thank you for sharing your little family with us! We hope to see more of Miss Adira as she grows and changes!
Wellesley Family Portrait Session
Krista was so happy to hear from Jesse and Julie! She photographed Jesse’s sister Meredith’s wedding several years ago and his other sister, Adrienne, and her family (remember Joel and Seth?!) this spring. What a fun pair of boys Krista spent the day with!!
In constant motion, but those GRINS!!
Love it!
Such brotherly love!
Awwww.
Thank you, Jesse and Julie! Your family is so much fun!
Baby Eden – Newborn Portrait Session at Home
Krista has been photographing the Hamel family for the last three years. From engagement, to marriage, to having their first son, to now adding baby Eden to the mix! Look closely and you may even see some Krista Photography gracing the wall in the background… :)
Awww!
The looks shared between a mama and her brand new baby are the MOST precious.
I spy with my little eye…. a Krista Photography canvas. :) (Print your pictures!!!)
Suze and Jeremy, your growing family is adorable!

Bonnie + Steve — LaBelle Winery Wedding
Bonnie & Steve’s wedding at the LaBelle Winery in New Hampshire, was SO fun! It was sunny all morning and began threatening rain before the ceremony – but wouldn’t you know it, the rain held off until we finished family portraits outside! And then it POURED! That certainly didn’t stop the party going on inside… these guys enjoyed their reception to the fullest!! Check out some of my favorites from their day…
First Look in a open field in the noonday sun? no problem!
Steve cracks me up! He’s officially my first groom with a Go Pro and a selfie stick! How cute are they together?!
Gotta love a fun bridal party!
Time for the ceremony, and everyone got emotional! I love that even with a First Look that moment coming down the aisle still made Bonnie cry! There’s just nothing quite like it.
Peace out, little man!
So happy!
Reception Time! How much do you LOVE these ladies?!?!
More happy tears!
Tearing up the dance floor!
SUCH a great wedding!! Thank you Bonnie & Steve for having us there to document and enjoy the awesomeness! xoxo
And big thanks to my second shooter for the day, Peter Morse!
Ashley + Andrew — Paul Revere Park Engagement – xo, CoCo
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.
LOVE this!
I mean, how cool is this spot?!
Cuties… and gorgeous light to boot!
We strolled back over near their apartment and found this gorgeous ivy.
We had to get something in front of their adorable building!
They have a pretty sweet roof-deck too, with a killer view of the Bunker Hill monument, what a great spot!
That LIGHT! KILLING me.
Ash and Andrew thank you so much for taking me on such a fun adventure in your beautiful neighborhood! Check out more on Facebook y’all!
Sarah + Mike — Lyman Estate Wedding Details – xo, CoCo
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!
The rooms at the Lyman have some fab wall paper and woodwork, I could shoot there every day! Allana, my second shooter for the day, grabbed this as mike got ready.
The greenhouse was in full bloom, this space was a dream to shoot in.
Sarah made her own jewelry and flowers, isn’t she crafty?!
Allana, workin it.
Sometimes, we gotta test some light!
To make this look so good!
I brought along a little Canonet QL17 35mm film camera for the day and took some snap shots on Fuji Pro 400H film.
Good lookin crew! Man I love grey suits.
This dining room had the most gorgeous light, not to mention those simple and stately centerpieces!
Haha, caught ya!
Chive Events was serving up some of their fabulous signature cocktails, house made cranberry soda anyone?
Also shot on Fuji Pro 400H 35mm film.
The food from Chive was not only gorgeous, I love their serving platters and utensils, it was SO DELICIOUS.
Don’t worry, the Lord and Lady will watch over your cake.
Mmmmm carrot cake…
… Allana approved.
Marc Anthony from Murray Hill talent gets the award for most energetic DJ ever, he was AWESOME!
And check out this adorable outdoor dance floor that the ladies at Chive set up, it was so fun to party under the stars on a warm Summer evening.
Just LOVE this place!

Kate + Peter — Harvard Faculty Club Wedding Details – xo, CoCo
Feast your eyes on some of Kate and Peter’s classic details from their Springtime Harvard Faculty Club Wedding. First off, Kate’s gorgeous lace dress and timeless jewelry.
Harvard yard was perfectly quiet that morning!
I love Kate’s fur stole, such a smart yet chic choice for a Spring day!
Lara grabbed this during their ceremony at Harvard Memorial Church, so stately!
The reception details incorporated Peter’s heritage, I love the pops of red.
My fabulous second shooter for the day Lara, best model ever!
Hey, we can’t all look that good…
And a little bling to finish the night off!
