The E Family – Extended Family Portraits

040915_D045-Edit

Krista’s MOST favorite couples are the ones who call her again and again to photograph their families as they grow far beyond their wedding day.  And the past few months have been full of these very calls!

Krista was especially excited to reunite with the E family – she shot Shoshana & Andy’s wedding back in 2009, and then Rahel & Yitzi’s wedding in 2010.  Both brides have growing families and gathered at their parents’ home, along with their other sister, Yonina, for an extended family portrait session in April.  Prepare to fall in love with this family!

Baby Sal – Newborn baby session at home

The baby boom is real!  And this spring was FULL of Krista Photography couples welcoming new babies to their family!  Liz & Pete were married in 2012 and are now the proud parents of baby Sal.  Krista was SO excited to meet Sal!

Gotta love the faces made by new parents!  :)  They have just entered a whole new world!

The H Family — Portrait Session in Houston, Texas

022515_D0141-Edit

If you have followed Krista Photography for while, this family is sure to look familiar!   The short version of the story:  Krista shot Rhetta and Bill’s wedding in Chicago back in 2004.  Upon moving to Boston, Krista began working for Matt & Enna Grazier and on her very first day she was perusing their portfolio and stumbled upon a gorgeous pregnant woman – who also happened to be Rhetta!  As baby Hannah grew and changed, Rhetta sought Krista out to take family portraits.  The family has since moved from Boston to Texas, but she called again, and again when they were back in town visiting.  :)   And so it made perfect sense for Krista to swing by while on a trip west this spring, to capture this beautiful family once more!

A holiday session at home with family

Talk about a quintessential pre – holiday family day!   These grandparents had their children and grandchildren over for a beautiful session with Krista just before Christmas last year.  My favorite moments captured are the ones that catch the family just being themselves.  Sometimes quietly, sometimes goofily, but always genuine and real.

Baby Mason – Downtown Boston Family Portrait Session

Krista shot Katelyn and Evan’s wedding several years ago and now they have a super cute little guy named Mason!  They all met up in Boston, on a very chilly fall day, and wandered around.  Mason was such a trooper and happily walked around in the cold, allowing Krista to capture his dimpled grin at every turn!

Krista met Jessica several years ago when she was a bridesmaid in Elena and Dan’s wedding and was thrilled to hear from her wanting to do family portraits at the family’s home.  Backyard firepit, a walk in the woods, an adorable pup AND baby boy with two perfectly placed bottom teeth – it made for a fabulous morning!

Bermuda vacation!

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

One of the benefits of traveling to a destination wedding via cruise ship is that I was “forced” to be on vacation for a few days!  To make it SO much more awesome, one of my best friends since childhood came along!  Marietta had visited Bermuda after her graduation from THE Ohio State University, um, a lot of years ago – so it was extra sweet to visit together again!

Bermuda, the first time…  we definitely missed our friend Kara this time around!
And also, we look like babies.  Skinny, drunk, babies…
