Spring Mini Sessions 2016 – Lake Quannapowitt

Spring Mini Portrait Sessions at Lake Quannapowitt - Wakefield, MA. Photography by Krista Guenin - Krista Photography www.kristaphoto.com

Once or twice a year, I offer Portrait Mini Sessions for those families who want updated portraits, but perhaps don’t have the time or the budget for a full session. I keep them limited to clients and friends I’ve worked with before, who have a good understanding of my style. It makes these quick 15 minute sessions go so much smoother when we already have a relationship! This year, we wanted some pretty Spring colors, so we ended up shooting in the old cemetery at Lake Quannapowitt, in Wakefield MA. It was BEAUTIFUL!

Spring Album & Portrait Sale!

Life is awesome, document it! Krista Photography Spring Portrait Sale - Boston family photographer

It’s that time of year again… we’ve (hopefully) had the last snow, the flowers and leaves are budding, the sun is actually shining, and Bostonians are starting to come out of hibernation! At Krista Photography, we’re in the calm before the storm that is wedding season. That means we have a little extra time to design wedding albums and photograph lots of families before the craziness begins again in June. To celebrate, we’ve decided to have a little Spring Sale… just in time for tax returns to roll in ;)

Laura & Dayna — Willowdale Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

D2415_D0453-Edit

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…

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!

Ashley + Joe — Exchange Conference Center Wedding in Boston

I’ve gotta be honest with you… I think Joe & Ashley’s wedding was my absolute favorite for 2014! Maybe it was because they totally trusted me, and gave me the freedom to focus on the moments? Maybe it was because we had an hour to ride around Boston shooting wherever we wanted with just the two of them? Maybe it’s because they love black & white photography as much as I do? Or maybe it’s because they fed me pizza after the ceremony?! It’s hard to say… but just take a look, and I think you’ll understand!

I started with Ashley & the girls, and my lovely assistant Cristen, over at the Seaport Hotel

Meanwhile… CoCo was shooting with Joe & the guys over at the Exchange Conference Center

Then it was time for the First Look! Ashley just needed a little liquid courage before we left ;)

Clearly Joe was ready!

The reception details incorporated Peter’s heritage, I love the pops of red.

My fabulous second shooter for the day Lara, best model ever!

Spring Mini-Sessions — Saturday, May 11th

Spring is here! The trees out my window are budding, the daffodils are popping up and soon my whole yard will smell like lilacs!! I CANNOT WAIT!!! There’s something about 60 degree days that make me want to drive around with my windows down, listen to the Cranberries, and go for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream – haha, itmust have something to do with high school! ;)

To celebrate the dawn of Spring, I thought we’d do another round of portrait Mini Sessions, just in time for Mother’s Day! Sessions will be 15 minutes long and can include any number of people. Our selection of the best images will be edited and posted online for ordering prints, canvases & gifts. Sessions cost $125, and will be held outdoors if possible (location near Woburn MA TBD based on mud & greenery conditions :)

It’s a great chance to get your Headshots, Family Portraits, Newborn Portraits, Maternity Portraits, Engagement Portraits, Senior Portraits, New Puppy Portraits, or any other kind of portraits you can dream of, done!

Leave a comment below, sign up on Facebook, or send an email to kg@kristaphoto.com to reserve your spot now!! Don’t forget to invite your friends!!

Leli + Tom — Downtown Boston Engagement

Krista met up with Leli & Tom for their Engagement Session down at the Boston Public Gardens, where they got engaged, awwwwwwww. They are the sweetest couple, very caring and loving with each other, and they couldn’t have picked a better day to romp around the city with Krista!

They started out on Commonwealth ave just outside the gardens… Isn’t Leli’s purple dress the cutest?
