Baby Cameron – Newborn Portrait Session

Dawson Newborn Portrait Session

I promised an amazing little man, and I’m confident that Baby Cameron won’t disappoint!  Krista visited the family in their home soon after Cameron’s arrival.  There really is something incredible about a baby who is only days old.

Check out all of that hair!  (Just wait until you see how quickly it grows as he gets older!  It’s awesome!)

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.

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!

How cute is he??

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!

Baby Judah – Maternity Shoot

Krista always loves to shoot her brides again, especially when they are also her very good friends!  And double especially when her good friends/former wedding client’s are expecting a new baby!  And I can’t think of a more perfect family to feature as we head into Mother’s Day weekend!   You’ll probably remember Suze and Jeremy from their winter wedding one year ago.  Well, they recently welcomed Baby Judah into the world.  They asked Krista to stop by their home before Judah’s arrival to capture the glowing mama-to-be’s pregnant belly.  And, of course, we’ll be sharing pictures of the little man himself in an upcoming post!

I am especially loving the beautiful canvas hanging behind them in this first picture!  :)

Are you noticing a consistency in Suze and Jeremy’s color palette??  I think they like the color orange (and, for the record, so do I!).  :)

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.

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.

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??

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!

Back from Vacation!

Well, I have finally returned from my road trip to the Midwest!  It was a very fun vacation, with a little work thrown in to the mix!  Here’s a quick recap…

Drove with my sister & her 3 kids (ages 3-7) from Boston to Niagara Falls.

Came down with bronchitis.

Visited my old synchronized swimming coach who was coaching at Nationals nearby.  The only other times I’ve been to Niagara Falls is when I’ve been to synchro meets!  (yes, I was a synchronized swimmer & coach for 15 years!)

Visited Niagara Falls and went on the Maid of the Mist for the first time!  Very cool – and very wet!!
