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.

If you think these two are adorable (how could you not?), just wait until you meet Cameron!  His lips are truly to die for!  :)

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.  :)

 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!!

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!

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.

Twins!

When I was in Chicago this summer, I had the chance to see an old friend of mine that I haven’t seen in YEARS!  I literally don’t think I’ve seen her since I left my job at the hedge fund and became a photographer over 8 years ago (that’s a story for another day).  It was SO great to see her and catch up – but it was especially exciting because I got to photograph her TWINS!  A boy and a girl, just a few weeks old and as precious as they get!

They’d like to remain anonymous, so I’m only going to share a couple of my favorites to give you a taste of how cute they are!

Ah!  So precious!!  xoxo

Abigail & Sarah Beth

A few weeks ago, I spent the morning with my friends Jonathan & Diana and their adorable girls, Abigail and Sarah Beth.  We went to the park for some family photos and had a fun time on the playground, running in the field, and chasing frogs & butterflies!  Here are a few of my favorites from our morning…

Rhetta & Bill’s growing family

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember Rhetta & Bill.  I shot Rhetta & Bill’s wedding in Chicago almost exactly 6 years ago when I was working as an Associate for Real Life Weddings.  They moved to Boston, and then a few years later I moved to Boston, and now this is my third time photographing their growing family!  I hadn’t seen them since Rhetta was pregnant with little Sophie, so it was extra fun to meet her and see how big Hannah has gotten!

We met up at the Arnold Arboretum and went for a little walk…

Rhetta & Bill – thank you so much for a fun morning with your family!  Hannah and Sophie are so darling, and I’m still laughing over Hannah’s “hey, Krista, can you give me a minute?!”  haha!  It really is a pleasure and an honor to have been documenting your family for the last 6 years!!

Chloe’s 8-Month Portraits

Hello little blog!  How are you these days?  Oh, neglected, huh.  :(   That’d be my fault…  I’m sorry!  Things are really picking up though, and I promise I’ll be taking much better care of you from now on – starting now!!

What better way to get back into the swing of things, than to share some photos of darling little Chloe!  We’ve been doing a Year-In-The-Life series and when she turned 8 months, it was time for another session.  She just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and boy is she CUTE!  Look at her!

She’s got a great laugh!
