Meet another sweet addition to the Krista Photography baby boom of 2015!  Her parents, Kristin and Anthony, were married back in 2013.  We were SO happy to hear about the arrival of baby Kayla!  I think you’ll agree that Kayla’s nursery is simply divine!

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!

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

winter extended family lifestyle portrait photography at home near Christmas

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!

Baby Donnie – Backyard family portrait session

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!

Ashley + Joe — Boston Winter Engagement Session

Boston Winter Engagement Session

Joe & Ashley live in Chicago, and LOVE black & white photography… so they were already my favorites before we even met each other!  When we did finally meet, it was for their wintery Boston engagement session – and they totally lived up to my expectations of awesomeness!

We started out with a drink at OAK Long Bar + Kitchen to get warmed up (both literally, and figuratively)…

Then we went for a little walk around Copley Square, in the cold… but they were able to keep each other both warm, and entertained :)

Such a fun engagement session!!  See, we don’t need sunshine and green grass to make some beautiful portraits – even in the cold Boston snow, we can have fun together and get some awesome photos!

Can’t wait to share more from Ashley & Joe’s killer wedding in my next post!  Stay tuned!
(And if you seriously can’t wait, you can head over to their Facebook album and see it all there!)
