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! :)

I love this quiet moment caught between mama and her new baby.

Oh my goodness, the hair on this boy!! (Much like big sister had when she was a newborn!)

I LOVE the way Delia is gazing down at her brother in this one!

Such a silly sister!

Hello there, little man. :)

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

Savoring a quiet moment.

Krista has now finished Baby AJ’s year-in-the-life sessions, so stay tuned to see more of this growing boy!!

Theresa + Kristin — Newburyport Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

I met these two awesome ladies at their apartment in Newburyport, such a beautiful city with so much variety for shooting pictures, I’m so jealous they actually live there! It was so much fun meeting their (MANY!) pets, checking out the nooks and crannies of Newburyport and seeing where they were engaged. Let’s start out on their front porch, the light was gorgeous!

Such awesome mailboxes!

Aren’t they so cute?!

My. Faves.

I think this spot is almost exactly where they got engaged!

Ladies you are so beautiful!!

We found this amazing wall in an alley with a gorgeous beam of light shining down… so of course the coffee we were after had to wait a few more minutes… :)

Thanks for a great day, Theresa and Kristin! I can’t wait to see you two tie the knot in September!!

Lori + Jim – Cape Cod Engagement Session

Lori and Jim ran around the beach in Dennis, MA with Krista. They brought their adorable dog and had a great time. We can’t wait to see them this Saturday for their wedding! Woohoo!

It was pretty windy out there but don’t they still look great?!

They stepped away from the wind for a second…

And grabbed some of these, my favorites!

So cute!

My favorite!

Thank you both! We can’t wait to party with you this weekend! Check out their Facebook album for more!

Rhetta + Bill — Adorable Arnold Arboretum Family Portraits

Krista shot Rhetta and Bill’s wedding back in 2004 when she was working in Chicago for Real Life Weddings. They then moved to Boston, and then Krista moved to Boston… you see where this is going, right? :) They reconnected for several shoots as their family began to grow (here and here) and then Rhetta and Bill moved to Houston where they currently reside. Krista has no plans to move to Houston, so now she photographs the family when they come to Boston for vacation.

THIS is what Krista Photography is all about. Getting to know a couple through the wedding process, being there to capture their growing family over the years. Hannah and Sophie have even invited Krista to come visit them in Texas, so they are basically BFFs now. :)

It certainly doesn’t hurt when the family is aDORable. And so clearly full of love for one another.

And FUN! So much fun!

Love this — Krista tells the family, “Show me your angry face.” Then it’s, “Show me your silly face!” And then it’s the money shot.

I don’t know, these girls just don’t seem to have any personality whatsoever. :)

I can’t stop smiling as I look through this session — so much goofy family fun! :)

I’m pretty sure Hannah saw a bug…

Thank you, Rhetta and Bill, for continuing to trust Krista to capture the important moments in your life! Your family is wonderful and we hope you visit Boston again SOON!!

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. :)

Goofy buddies!

These two families are full of besties. So much love!

Krista has some seriously gorgeous family, doesn’t she??

I love how this little crew of friends just fits together!

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.

This portrait thing is a serious business!

This is Serena and Mark and their adorable daughter Rayna. Krista second shot their wedding way back in 2008! Aren’t they gorgeous?!

Happy girl! Yay!

What a silly daddy!

There were SO many great moments between these sisters to chose from, but this series of them hugging is by far my favorite!

And we can’t leave out their darling baby brother!

A family of tree-huggers. :) This particular tree was SUCH a vivid yellow.

Happy Fall!!

What a good looking set of siblings!

This lovely lady came to have her senior portraits taken – such a great idea by her mom to have them done this way!

Oh, hi. It’s my family again. :)

Love love love!!

HI!

Such a little doll!

Another adorable family!

How cute is this couple? I absolutely love Lindsay’s headband!

So in love! :)

This little guy wanted NOTHING to do with Krista’s camera! But Krista knows how to do a sneak attack and managed to grab some shots anyway!

Krista shot Faith and Ryan‘s wedding back in 2011 (and Faith and Krista go way back!).

This little lady must look familiar, no?? Does she need to be in pink tulle? :)

Fear not! She has her girly headband poof and furry boots!

We all love Miss Lane!!

Woofs, you are such a good sport! :)

Love this family!

Krista and her wonderful assistants for the day. Thank you, Shea and Tiffany, for all of your help!!

More cuteness on facebook! Come back Monday to see what CoCo’s cooked up! :) Have a happy weekend!

Mourning for Boston

I’ve thought a lot about this photo since yesterday afternoon. Thinking about how many of my friends had been RIGHT THERE just a few minutes or hours before. Thinking about the shoot I did at the candy store that’s right next to the site of the first bombing. Thinking about how it could have been just about anyone I know who was injured or killed yesterday, and how thankful I am that it wasn’t. Thinking about how much worse it could have been, and what a blessing it is that so many first responders were in the area who probably saved many many lives. And I’ve been praying for everyone involved – those who were hurt, the people who’s loved ones died, the emergency workers and photographers who witnessed so much horror, and the thousands of bystanders who are traumatized by the terror it caused. It’s just so horrible.

We are grieving and praying for our city.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

Isaiah 61:1-4

Shout for joy, you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;
burst into song, you mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.

Isaiah 49:13

…my soul is downcast within me.

Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

Lamentations 3:19-20

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23

praying.

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.

SUCH a happy family!

The bubbles! The drool!

FULL of joy!!

Doesn’t Bobby have amazing eyelashes??

My very favorite shot from the day! Bright blue eyes, drool covered chin, smily face, and the beautiful quilt made by Suzanne!

Hope that got you smiling on a Monday morning. :) If you need more of a Baby Bobby fix, check out Facebook. We’ll see you Wednesday for our next wedding couple!

Leli + Tom — Downtown Boston Engagement

Krista met up with Leli & Tom for their Engagement Session down at the Boston Public Gardens, where they got engaged, awwwwwwww. They are the sweetest couple, very caring and loving with each other, and they couldn’t have picked a better day to romp around the city with Krista!

They started out on Commonwealth ave just outside the gardens… Isn’t Leli’s purple dress the cutest?

SO SWEET.

Make ’em snuggle and they’ll start to giggle, works every time! Love this series!

Then they headed over the footbridge to the river.

SUCH a gorgeous day! I can’t wait to have these evenings again!

Then a quick jaunt over to J.P.Licks for a handsome reward!

And a few more giggles…

LOVE these two. Come back Friday for their super fun wedding and photo booth!! Oh and check our their facebook album too!

Christine + Randy — The Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding

Christine & Randy were married at a beautiful and quaint Acton Congregational Church, and later celebrated surrounded by so much family and loving friends at The Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA. It was the PERFECT Fall day, not too cold, fluffy white clouds in the sky, and those leaves! You’ll see that her details were so perfectly Fall as well, dark reds, oranges, and blues everywhere, and the cutest granny smith apple place cards!

Krista and I started with the girls while they got ready at Gibbet Hill, I ran around outside for some sunny details to set the scene.

I grabbed this while Christine was getting ready, there were some seriously cute little girls running around!

They had a really fun and swanky car to drive to the church in!

Our lovely friend Anne Ruthmann started with Randy and the boys at the church.

Christine’s brother and his son…. SO CUTE.

The girls arrived and hung out “backstage…”

These girls took their job very seriously.

I caught Randy’s expression as the doors opened… priceless.

Love a bubble exit!

The dark blue and purple are so great with the orange and red!

We had just the tiniest bit of sunlight to shoot some portraits back at the Barn, love how the red looks with Christine’s flowers!

The Barn is always sooooo beautiful and warm.

Christine’s parents, brother and sister-in-law gave the MOST beautiful and heartfelt speeches. I was totally crying!!

Uummmmm, that’s a really big piece of cake!

And then came the best dancing ever! Walk like an egyptian!

Woohoo! What a wonderful time we had with you guys! Thank you both and your wonderful families for letting us be a part of it!

Ceremony: Acton Congregational Church

Reception Venue: The Barn at Gibbet Hill

Photography: Krista Photography

Second Shooter: Anne Ruthmann

Assistant: CoCo Boardman

Be sure to check out their album on Facebook for more! And as always, we’ll see you Wednesday for our next post!

Liz + Pete — State Room Wedding

Liz & Pete were married at the State Room in downtown Boston. What a day! Krista and I hung out with the girls most of the morning and they were a complete riot, all of them having so much fun, and obviously just loving the time they got to spend together. The whole day proved to be just like that, a love fest, seriously. Liz & Pete have the most adoring and loving group of family and friends. It was the most wonderful atmosphere to be a part of. And WAIT til you see the dance party!

Ok so here we go, Krista and I started with Liz and her girls in their suite at The Ames Hotel, just a couple blocks from the State Room, its SO beautiful, a super fun space to shoot in with great light and really cool furniture! Here’s Liz reading a lovely note from Pete.

Don’t you love those robes she gave the girls?!

Anne Ruthmann, who we LOVE, started with Pete and his groomsmen in their suite at the Ames as well.

I grabbed this of Liz in those *awesome* windows.

HAH!

LOVE Pete’s face!

Give it a spin girl!

I grabbed this of Liz trying to figure out her veil, it was sooo long and beautiful.

And this too, they just couldn’t stop staring! :)

Then we were all ready to head down to the first look and Liz says, “Krista do youuuu wanna hold my lipgloss????” How could we refuse this girl?

Anne got Pete ready for the first look! So dashing in his bowtie!

Love Pete’s face in this shot from Anne! I think he was blown away!

We ran into this stairwell around the corner, Krista went upstairs and Anne grabbed this. I swear every inch of the Ames is interesting to photograph.

Krista rode with the couple to the Public Gardens, I’m amazed there isn’t anyone in the background of this shot!

Krista brought along a roll or two of Black and White film too, aren’t these two classic? Shot with Krista’s Holga on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/120 mm film.

And THIS with her Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film.

Shoot girl!

Anne grabbed this of the bridal party after some family formals in the Gardens.

Then it was over to the enormous and stately Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

Another with the Widelux on Kodak Tri-x 400 ISO/35mm film.

Married!

Then it was on to The State Room!

Love this pairing from Anne.

Another from Anne

This is also from Anne, of Liz and her dad dancing, while Liz’s sister Lauren sang.

Then it was party time!

In case you can’t tell, the dance floor was PACKED.

Liz was my hero on the dance floor.

Love BOTH sets of parents getting down!

Ya gotta throw the Bride and Groom around a bit to end the night!

I conveniently forgot to mention that even though I was taken out of the game with food poisoning halfway through the day, and Krista lost a flash (it tumbled to the floor) in the midst of the craziest dance party ever, Krista and I were incredibly grateful to have Anne Ruthmann along for the ride as well as the wonderful Cristen Farrell, who rescued and replaced me earlier in the night.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you Liz & Pete, you two are unbelievably wonderful. Seriously.

See the rest of you on Friday for their classy pastel and grey details!
