Baby Bobby – Newborn Session

I’m back!  And with another ridiculously adorable baby to share (this little guy has the MOST incredible head of hair I’ve ever seen on such a little guy)!  Baby Bobby’s mama is one of Krista’s dear friends.  Krista was thrilled when Suzanne and Michiel announced that they were expecting a  baby last year.  It was a long hard pregnancy, but Baby Bobby arrived healthy and handsome as could be!  Take a look for yourself.

Such a beautiful moment between a mama and her little love.

Krista would like to make sure it is known that there was no posing during this session!  Baby Bobby is just that amazing!  :)

Suzanne and Michiel (who is from Holland!) met while working for Mercy Ships.  During her time in Africa, Suzanne bought fabric that she used to make this beautiful quilt for Bobby.  So not only is this blanket gorgeous, it is also incredibly meaningful.  How cool is that??

Come back Monday for Bobby’s adorable Fall six-month session!  I can promise that his smiles are contagious and will erase any Monday blahs!!  :)  Happy Friday!

Baby Lane – Newborn Baby Portrait Session

Full disclosure: I LOVE babies. Their teeny tiny features get me every time!  Krista loves them too – especially when she gets to photograph the babies of our lovely brides!  What’s more fun than that?!

That said, Little Miss Lane, or Buggy as Lori calls her, is truly an adorable little button of a girl. Her mama made sure she was ready for her first photo shoot–flower in her hair, tutu of tulle around her bitty belly!

Believe it or not, baby Lane just celebrated her first birthday and Krista was there to capture every adorable angle of her cake smash. :) Come back Friday to see how big Lane has gotten! I promise… there will be more tulle!

Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah Portraits – Larz Anderson Park, Brookline

Last Fall, I had the opportunity to photograph Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah.  The event was so fun, and we even shot some portraits the day before – but the weather that weekend was gross and we just didn’t get the bright sunny portraits we were hoping for.  So, we picked a nice Spring day and tried again!  This time we got sunshine…. cold winds, but sunshine!  It’s hard to get the weather quite right in New England in the Spring ;)  But I love how these turned out!

Baby Delia at One Year – Reading MA

A couple of years ago, I started offering Year-in-the-Life portrait packages to my clients.  I think it’s so neat to capture all of the little changes that take place over the course of a year, especially all of the big changes that happen in a baby’s first year!  It’s really fun to watch these little ones grow and develop their own little personalities.  Though it’s always a bit sad when the time comes for the last session and I know I won’t be seeing them every few months!

Baby Delia’s Year-in-the-Life began in the Fall of 2009 with maternity photos for mommy-to-be, Eileen.

And then there were newborn photos!

Our 6 month portraits were a little tricky due to a cold…

So we tried again at 8 months

And now we come to the end of the “year”… she was actually about 13 months when we finally were able to shoot this time, but you get the idea ;)

Family Portraits – Concord MA

Last Fall, I donated a portrait session to an auction to benefit Social Capital, Inc. here in Woburn.  It was fun tracking the online bidding, and to see a couple of friends fighting over me ;)  My dear friend Jennifer ended up winning, and I was super excited to get to meet her family and take some portraits for them!

We met up at the Old North Bridge in Concord on a cold wintery day…

We had to get one of us too!  Apparently we didn’t have any photos together!  Most of my friends can probably say that actually… I should get in front of the camera more ;)

Jennifer – I love you, my friend!  So glad we could get these photos before you moved away!  I miss you & can’t wait to hear the latest updates from overseas… ;)

Baby Soren’s First Family Portraits – Lansing MI

Elizabeth & Ryan’s was one of my favorite weddings I’ve ever shot (you’ll notice it’s still a Featured Post), and I was so excited for them when I heard they’d had a baby! Baby Soren came this past fall, and just before the holidays I traveled to Michigan to photograph him with his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Four generations! It was such a special weekend for their family, and I am so glad I was able to document this moment in their lives!

This is what I really love about my job – having the opportunity to photograph people’s lives, and being a part of all sorts of special moments over the years – it’s such a blessing!  And getting to play with adorable babies is definitely a bonus ;)

Elizabeth’s Grandfather was fairly ill when we visited (not that you could tell from looking at this handsome, cheerful man!).  It was incredibly moving to be part of this family portrait session knowing that they might not have another chance to all be together again.  Tears were definitely shed.  But it was an absolute honor to be there for them.  This is the one shot I wanted the entire day, and it’s the last one I took.  I just love it.

[edit]  I literally just found out that this lovely man passed away yesterday.  I am SO thankful that we were able to do this portrait session when we did.  What a blessing that he was able to meet his great-grandchild, and how awesome that their family has these photos.  This is the most beautiful thing about my job.

Family Portraits

Elizabeth & Ryan (and Barbara) – thank you again for allowing me to be there to photograph your wonderful family!  It means so much to me to be trusted and appreciated so much by all of you!  It’s truly a blessing :)

Photo Shoot at Fenway Park!

I had the opportunity this summer to shoot a family portrait session inside of Fenway Park!  I’m not actually a fan (of any sports team, really), but it was still very cool to get into the Park while it was mostly empty and go out on the field and behind the scenes a bit!  It was so fun to photograph a family here!  I can’t share those images with you, but I thought I’d share a few of my faves of the Park.  For all of you Boston Red Sox fans out there, these are for you :)

Family Reunion Portraits – New Hampshire

I hardly ever get to see my oldest & dearest friend Marietta, who lives in Ohio, but this year I’ve gotten to see her a ton!!  I went home a couple of times and got to see her and her new baby.  Then a few weeks ago she & her family came to New England for a family reunion!  They don’t get the whole clan together very often, so they asked me to come up and take some photographs.  A fun portrait shoot, plus I get to see my Marietta and baby Austin?!  Fabulous :)

I love these people :]

Marietta – I love you!  I am so thankful that you’ve been part of my life for over 25 years!  (wow, we’re getting old…)  And thanks for bringing me up and letting me crash the reunion.  Your family is, of course, awesome!  Hopefully we can keep finding more and more excuses to see each other this year :)  Hug & kiss that baby for me!!!

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!

Twins!

Ah!  So precious!!  xoxo
