Casey + Paul — Newport Engagement Session

Newport engagement shoot

 Horray!! It’s my very last better-late-then-never couple! I can’t believe it, just ONE MORE POST after this. What am I going to do when I don’t have to blog anymore?! Oh, that’s right blog all of our amazing NEW couples coming up next month, YES! But patience, good things come to those who wait.

Ok, here we go, meet Paul and Casey, some of the cutest people ever! These two romped all around Newport, RI with Krista one lovely evening. They caught some gorgeous light, found some really cute spaces, and had a fantastic time! I also must commend Casey’s color choice, I LOVE a guy in neutral and a girl in a gorgeous pop of color. They look great!

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.  :)

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!  :)

Poor Kayak!  She has no idea just how much life is going to be changing!  Isn’t she a beautiful dog?

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!).  :)

Laurie + Hakan — Wedding Album

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in on Laurie and Hakan’s very last post! Here’s a sneak peak into their amazing Queensberry 12×12 Matted Duo album! This thing is GORGEOUS. Lets start out with their whole little package: album, parent album, and disc of images. Wouldn’t you love to come into the studio and see this waiting for you?

They chose wisely and got this luxurious cover fabric that catches the light so amazingly, hard to translate in a photo sadly….

Here are few of my favorite pages from the design.

The Duo album allows for your pictures to bleed all the way to the edge while still being surrounded by their gorgeous mats.

Ok now onto the reception. These flowers by Columbine Florist were absolutely stunning – rich hues of red, orange, dark purple, and green made these the PERFECT autumnal arrangements. And the crew from Boston Uplighting did an incredibly meticulous job lighting each and every centerpiece. Really amazing work.

Laurie + Hakan — The Taj Wedding

Wedding at The Taj Boston

Laurie and Hakan were married at The Taj in Boston. It was chilly and the leaves were just barely changing color in the city. Their day was magical, the couple celebrated with their families from all over the world, and somehow they found THE one orange tree in the Public Gardens to shoot near :)

Let’s start out with Laurie, getting ready in her hotel suite.
