Jennifer Shore Photography

This was the second part of my favorite kind of session…the Belly to BABY! I’ve said it a hundred times but it doesn’t make it any less true…I love meeting mom’s to be and then meeting their little miracles a few weeks later. It is like magic. Once Lillian’s mama and I started talking we realized that we had quite a bit in common…we have lived almost parallel lives (along with having the same name)! Even without all of our “coincidences”, I would have felt connected to Jennifer anyway. She and her husband could not have been kinder or more open and excited to share their sweet Lillian. I loved meeting all of them and plan to stay in touch with this warm family. Thank you P family!

LOVE this family. I love when Jennifer contacts me to set up a session because she is one of the kindest, nicest people ever. When I meet people like the M family I just feel so darn lucky to do what I do. Their little ones Rhys and Julian are FAST moving and do not like to stop even for one second. I have no idea how mom and dad do it but they are smiling the whole time. The boys are beautiful and if not for a slight difference in size and abilities, you would think they were twins. I hope to see them grow through my camera!

Long overdue once again, I am so happy to finally post the sneak peek for Anthe and her sweet, beautiful family. Anthe was visiting from California and wanted to get photos taken while here. We lucked out with the weather and I lucked out with another gorgeous family. Anthe’s sense of humor made me laugh and I’m sure she made the volleyball players laugh too when we were leaving! Anthe and Mark have their hands full with a 3 year old and 1 year old twins but you would never know from how relaxed and put together they are. I need their secret. I loved spending time with them and want to thank them for being open for anything (baby bum shots on the beach!). Thank you so much S family!

When I read Micki’s client information form I knew that I was going to like her immediately. She included details about each of her 4 children that could only come from a mom who has taken the time to really notice who they are. I hope she doesn’t mind but I am going to quote her from the client form. When talking about the type of session she would like she said, “We’re probably more reserved than some of your families, but we have fun together, and I’d be thrilled if you can somehow capture some of the dynamics among the kids. It’s all changing so fast, and I know that’s the memory that will mean the most to us in the future.”. This is exactly why I believe you should never wait to get photos done. You are capturing moments in time that go too quickly. Thank you H family for allowing me to help with this! It was such a pleasure.

LOVED doing these mini sessions (portrait party hosted by Ali C.). Lots of repeat clients which allows me to see their children grow. We had the BEST weather and so much fun! Many of you may have seen these images on Facebook already but I wanted to add them to my blog as well. Thank you everyone!

This blog sneak peek is WAY overdue.   I am usually a bit behind, but being pregnant and then having my new little baby Henry threw me into last year (well, practically).  The V family has been nothing but kind and patient and I am so appreciative of this.  Nancy, Pat, Tess and Will make such a beautiful family.  If the kids would have let me, I would have photographed them all day.  Okay, I say that a lot but it is true.  Just take a look at these faces and you will see why!  Thank you so much V family!  It was such a pleasure to meet you and spend some time with all of you.

This blog post has taken me too long. I have been neglecting my blog terribly. I have actually been so excited to post these images because I LOVED these sessions. Lindsay and Derek are such a cool couple. For real. They are completely beautiful, fun and have such interesting backgrounds. Derek is a musician and Lindsay is an owner at a beautiful boutique store in Marblehead called Bobbles & Lace.  She used to model and with one look you can see why.

They chose my belly to baby package (love when clients do this!) and the maternity session was like a dream come true with the light, their personalities and the fun we had.  Then their beautiful boy Rex came along and I was so excited to meet him too.  Poor Lindsay wasn’t feeling well the day we photographed and we actually ended  early so she could see the doctor.  In the meantime, we captured some sweet little expressions from Rex, daddy playing the harmonica to him to soothe him and Rex letting me put some fun hats on him.

Thank you to Lindsay, Derek and Rex.  I can’t wait to see more of Rex’s smiley face soon!

And beautiful Rex:

I loved meeting this family and appreciated their kindness, not only toward me but also toward each other. That doesn’t happen much when there is a 15 year old girl involved. I know since I was 15 once! The genuine love they had for one another showed right through my lens and it was such a pleasure to photograph them and get to know them a bit. I think they should get photos done more than every 5 years though! They were so much fun and their daughter is just stunning.

When I met Leslie and her family for their session, I was so happy that she had won my Mother’s Day Giveaway. You could tell that she was a beautiful person both inside and out, and that her family reflected this as well. I am doing a super large “sneak peek” just for the heck of it. Leslie had told me that she had very few images of herself with her children and husband and I am happy to say that now has changed! Thank you B family for all the fun and smiles. It has been a pleasure getting to know you!

Don’t you love the name? She’s going to be called “Millie” which makes it even cuter…just like her family and of course her beautiful self. Millie was sleepy and warm and squishy and a total love for this session. Her big brother helped me hold blankets and stayed patient even though he just wanted to go play on the playground. I hope my little guy will be as sweet when his new little brother comes around! Thank you so much Lori, Chris and Graeme for sharing your little Millie with me for a few hours. It was a pleasure to meet all of you! And without further ado…introducing Camilla….
