Laura and Dayna (best name for a groom ever!) were married on a beautiful brisk day in late spring, they braved the slight chill in the air for as long as they could and it was SO worth it for the chance to walk around outside and to witness their ceremony on the gorgeous patio of the Willowdale Estate. Laura was perfectly nervous, everyone was excited, the weather held off and just wait til you see Dayna’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…
GUYS! I can’t even TELL you how excited I am to share this wedding! You may remember Nora and Kevin from their snuggly, beer-induced, winter engagement session. These two are an absolute favorite around the studio, I was so excited to see them on their wedding day, and true to form they laughed, they cried, they snuggled, it was SO. 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.
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!
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!
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!)
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!
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!
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! ;)
