After feeling all awkward about being photographed at the Headshot Shootout, and not having seen the great results yet, I thought it’d be good to have someone I KNOW I’m comfortable being photographed by take a stab at getting a new headshot. For me, that person is obviously CoCo! She was planning on swinging by the office that week anyway, so I figured we might as well photograph each other and both get some pics that are a good match to our typical style. I mean, I LOVE the images my friends captured – but anything CoCo shoots is definitely going to look more like it belongs on our website since she’s all over the site already. That, plus I tend to prefer more environmental portraits, and my normally curly hair just feels more like me. And now I have one million photos of myself to choose from – so that’s enough to last another seven years I think! Anyway, check out my favorite portraits I made of CoCo first…
Rob + Britney – Linden Place Wedding – xo, CoCo
Rob and Britney pulled out all the stops for their Linden Place wedding, and their daughter Isla ended up stealing the show!! They battled heat and insane humidity, toddler meltdowns and possibly thunderstorms but the party raged on and these guys were amazing, taking it all in stride and tearing it up on the dance floor when the time was right, can’t ask for more than that!
Britney + Rob (and Isla!) – Endicott Park Engagement – xo, CoCo
Oh. My. Gosh. Have you SEEN a cuter family?! Didn’t think so. Rob, Britney, Isla and I got together on a crisp Fall day for their Endicott Park engagement that was a nice mix of smooches, cuddles, lots of laughs and Isla collecting sticks and being a complete silly goose.
Baby AJ – First Birthday Fun!
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 – Six Months Old!
Oh baby AJ, we just can’t get enough of you! At six months old, baby AJ was preparing to celebrate his first holiday season and Krista was able to spend some time with his family. AJ’s grin just gets bigger and more dimple-licious with each passing month!
I think somebody’s on Santa’s Nice List for sure!
How perfect is AJ’s shirt?!
Sorry AJ, but when your cheeks are that kiss-able, you’re gonna get squished often with smooches!
Up next is somebody’s FIRST BIRTHDAY! And like I’ve said, the cuteness factor continues to rise…. :) I promise!
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 AJ – Newborn Portrait Session at Hospital
Last year Krista had the incredibly special opportunity to photograph the arrival of her dear friends Jennifer & YiFeng’s first born son! Alexander Justus, baby AJ, arrived healthy and perfect in every way! Krista was able to go into the delivery room just a few moments after he was born, she still talks about what an honor it was to be one of the first people to meet this special little boy. (She also may or may not have been scarred for life by the experience, but clearly, it was worth it) ;)
I say it every time, but I just LOVE me some baby piggies!! Look at those wrinkly little toes!
SUCH a proud husband and father.
The sweetest.
In a few days you’ll get to see just how much baby AJ changed in the first few weeks of his life! (And just wait until you see how stinking adorable he is now!)
The G Family
Krista spent some time with this lovely family while all of the “kids” were in town over the summer. Patty and Dan are one of the nicest couples you’ll ever meet, and they’ve raised some pretty amazing children!
These two sisters could not stop laughing! Such a sweet relationship!
After their family session, Krista was able to spend some time with Melissa creating senior portraits. And once again, there was so much laughter!
Thank you, Gernert family! Krista so enjoyed her afternoon with you!
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!
Baby Matty
Remember when we mentioned that ALL THE BRIDES were having babies?? Well, here’s another ADORABLE addition to the Krista Photography family! Ricky and Sylvia were married back in 2010 and recently welcomed baby Matty into their family. They had Krista come by just a few days after bringing Matty home.
I mean, COME ON!
Even in his state of distress, Matty is the cutest.
I love Sylvia’s face here. So in love with her little man.
Sylvia and Ricky, THANK YOU! We could not be happier for your growing family and cannot wait to see you again, hopefully sooner than later! ;)
