Bethany + Jon — Album Design

Here are some of my favorite spreads and images from Bethany & Jon’s 10×10 album design with a 6×6 copy for her parents! I designed a photo cover for her parents book, I think they look great together!

Bethany wanted to include just a few touches of color, mostly green and navy blue, into her book. I love the way this turned out!

Bethany + Jon — Falmouth Engagement Session

Falmouth, MA engagement session

We are getting closer and closer to being completely caught up with our better-late-than-never couples! Just FOUR more to go!! Can you believe it?? I’m so excited! And you all say, “Yes CoCo, we are very excited too, now get on with it, who are these adorable people??”

OK OK fine :) Krista met up with Bethany & Jon down in Falmouth, MA, where Bethany grew up and where they would eventually be married. We LOVE shooting in a place that means something to you, it just makes it that more special!

These two romped around The Knob while Krista tagged along and shot some simple, sweet, natural pictures, just how we like it :)

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!

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.

Katie + Mark — Album Design

In case you didn’t know, aside from editing, blogging like crazy, booking weddings for myself, answering our new phone (holla), and fetching the occasional latte, I’ve been designing up a storm of albums over here! Lots of happy couples have walked away with some gorgeous albums over the past couple months!!  As far as we’re concerned, the album is the whole point of having your wedding photographed!  It’s the story book you’ll share with your kids and grandkids someday, and it’ll be what you snuggle up together on the sofa and look through on your 50th anniversary.  This is how we tell the story of your day and we work super hard to make it look and feel as much like you as your wedding did!

Here are a few of my favorite spreads from Katie and Mark’s beautiful vertical 9×12 album that we just finalized and ordered! Woohoo! Katie wanted to incorporate her color scheme into their flush mount album, so I added in a few splashes of orange and blue throughout. I LOVE how this turned out!

Tara from Tada not only did amazing job on Katie’s makeup, as you remember, she also designed their invitations and this monogram! We used it on the cover and here on the first page of the book. Thanks Tara!

Katie + Mark — Flying Bridge Wedding

Flying Bridge wedding Falmouth, MA

Katie and Mark were married in Falmouth, MA on a gorgeous sunny day. Not only was the day planned perfectly, but these two could not have been more wonderful to work with. They are both so cool and calm (not to mention beautiful). They are naturals in front of the camera, totally down to earth, and plain and simple our favorite kind of people to work with!

Krista and I met up with Katie and her girls as they got ready in her hotel suite, is this girl not stunning??

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.

Rose + George — Boston Seaport Hotel Wedding

Wedding at Seaport Hotel in Boston

Rose and George were married at the Boston Seaport Hotel. It was such a lovely wedding. Rose had this amazing and unique kiwi and persimmon color scheme that was carried through almost every element of their day. Their families seemed so fun and supportive and absolutely thrilled to be witnessing their nuptials. And some Krista Photography alums Jessica and Albert were there! It’s always fun to see past couples out on the dance floor!

Krista and I started out with Rose and her ladies up in her hotel suite.
