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….

Introducing sweet Gabriella! She was such a little sweetheart…and just like a baby out of a magazine. I mean she had perfect skin, hair and her lips were to die for! It was such a pleasure and honor to photograph her in her first weeks of being in this world. Her mom and grandmom were glowing and happy and this baby is already so incredibly loved. Check out the stork announcing her arrival! So funny. Here she is in all her beauty….

I loved this session. This 8 month old lasted over 2 hours as happy as can be. And I LOVE her name. Olive. It’s so perfect. This little one has something special and I am sure it has a lot to do with her kind, calm and patient mom and dad. The day was chilly but beautiful and I so enjoyed meeting this wonderful family.

I have been so behind on blogging…I moved recently and I underestimated the disruption it would be. Dina M. has been so patient for this sneak peek…so patient that in fact we already have met to go over all of her images! I figured I better get this “sneak peek” up and start catching up around here. I was so fortunate to meet Dina in the last week of her pregnancy. We quickly set up a mini-maternity session and she was glowing. This is her third baby and she was so beautiful pregnant. She and her husband decided to be surprised and didn’t know if the baby was a boy or girl…and then they had Sydney! She is beautiful, chunky, squishy, sweet and calm….everything you think of when you think of a newborn (well, newborns not late at night). We are going to make a plan to get the whole family in a photo session in the next few weeks (sister, brother and dad!). Here is a little collage of maternity/newborn images. It was such a pleasure meeting Dina as I feel like she is a friend already. She even shared her maternity clothes and newborn boy clothes with me! Thank you and congratulations to you and your beautiful family.
