Hunter's Back!

in , , ,

Somehow I managed to not share this session I had with Matt, Julia and Hunter back before the holidays, but I did. So now, I am sharing it, because Hunter is cute and that is all. I was happy to hear from Julia again after I'd photographed them right after Hunter's birth just a short while ago, and it's always fun to see how little ones have grown.

When I first walked in, I admired Hunter's hair, which sprouted straight up from his sweet head, "We can't control it" Julia said with a bit of pride and a sparkle in her eye.

Emily & Jay {Boston wedding photographer, wedding photography}

in , ,

Emily's mom Pat got a hold over me over the summer asking me if I'd be free to photograph her daughter's "non-wedding" in December. She conveyed to me at the time that Emily and her fiance Jay were headed to Kenya for work and when they are back for Christmas, they would like to get married at Cambridge City Hall and follow that with a small luncheon. Something different? I'm in!

I loved everything about Emily and Jay's day (and hopefully they did too!). They wore bright colors and had an easy nature about them. Cambridge City Hall is a beautiful building and the two were real troopers in the cold air afterwards during their portrait session.

The luncheon which followed at Upstairs on the Square* suited them with it's simultaneous vibrancy, whimsy and class.

* I'd link it but it's closing for good in a few days.

Amy's Family {Boston Family Portraits}

in ,

The last time I saw Amy with her kids in my parents neighborhood where they live, Fiona was a baby and Aidan was a toddler not really talking much. My how time changes things! My favorite quote of the session (aside from the kids impersonating the intro to AFV "And now here's your host! Tommmmm Bergeroooooooonnnnn!") was when Fiona looked up at her mom and said "You look like a pirate princess!"

And P.S. I wanna find Fiona's white top in my size.

Libby & Adam

in ,

I was flattered and excited when my friend Libby asked me to shoot her engagement photos.  I've known Libby for many years, since we started working together during our stints at The Palm Beach Post.   An exceptional photographer herself, I was a little nervous about our session, but these two made it easy. We started our shoot on West Palm Beach where I lived for six years, taking advantage of the waning light and the massive banyans, and then we wandered over to Palm Beach (where I have never ever lived). Worth Avenue on Palm Beach was a lovely location as we wandered at the perfect time of day - magic hour! And then it was on to the beach where we were met by their dogs Doubleday and Kira.  Getting those two adorable slobberers (and I'm talking about the dogs. The humans followed direction very well) to look in the right direction was a hilarious feat, and a lot of fun!

Thanks Libby, for such a great honor, an awesome session, and a super fun visit in Florida!

Fall Mini Sessions 2013

in , , , ,

This year's fall mini sessions were a great success! I love to see returning clients and meeting some news ones! The tricycle I invested in for my sessions got use for the first time as well. As usual, Endicott Park doesn't disappoint.

Hunter's Here

in , , ,

This session with Julia, Matt, two-and-a-half week old Hunter, and Bono the dog took place a while back and I'm just now blogging it. Sheesh! But it was a great session - Matt and Julia had awesome light in their home. Lucky me!

Lena is Three Days Old!

in , , ,

I received an email from Lena's mom Ryan about a month ago, letting me know she had a baby on the way and wanted newborn shots. When she contacted me one day after Lena was born to schedule her session, I was impressed. Lena had arrived right on her due date! We exchanged info and I laughed to myself when she gave me her address. I emailed her back "Well, I'll be walking to your photo session because you're only a few houses away from me!" It's a small world!

Finley!

in , , ,

I photographed Finn a while back when he first arrived here in our world and then again about six months later. I also photographed his parents' wedding. They are great people and he is a total joy to be around. Fin is 16 months now. Here are some shots from our most recent session which happened while we spent the weekend hanging out together in the cape.

Springing into Spring!

in ,

This is Caleb. He's four years old and I had great fun chasing him around Endicott Park a few weekends ago. The weather is finally beautiful here in New England and I'm psyched my clients are taking advantage! His Mom Stacey was the ultimate photographer's sidekick, keeping up with her active guy and keeping him laughing and engaged. When parents are patient and relaxed it makes a world of difference during a session, so thanks Stacey! I asked Stacey if I could share a little fact about her youngest of three. Caleb has Mastocytosis. That's why he looks like he might have just recovered from the chicken pox. It does not slow him down in the least however!

Abby and Her Family

in , , ,

I had the privilege of photographing Abby and her family again in Hingham. The last time we met, it was just Abby and her mom Alyssa, with Charlotte on the way. How nice to meet the whole family this time! If only we could all be as happy as Abby seems to always be. She's such a ray of sunshine (and I'm not just saying that because she's a fellow-redhead)!
