Christmas PJs, red coats & lollipops

I was so happy when M & A's mother contacted me and wanted to do pictures of her girls in their Christmas PJs...oh what fun it was.  Both mom and dad worked so hard making them giggle for their photographs and they do not disappoint!  And I must say parents do a lot of work behind the scenes, trying to get their children(s) to smiles/laugh soooo thank you for your hard work, without them I'm sure rattles and my silly joke "is there are bird on my head" can work only so much!

We finished our session outdoors at Beaver Brook Reservation in Belmont.  This past fall, we had our family photos taken here too and it's just a lovely park with creeks running through.  It is also a popular park for dogs so I don't blame their dad was super cautious about stepping in dog doo-doo but I had so much fun with your entire family!  Thank you, thank you!

Here are some of my favorites from our session!

How adorable are these two sisters?

 

 Of course one of many favorites....

 

Don't you love their matching red coats?

Love love love!!!

 

O Family

Now that the holidays are over, it's time for me to catch up on the blog!  December was a very busy month for photo sessions, especially for holiday cards.

Now on this beautiful family!  We started off in their beautiful home that was festively decorated  and ended our session at McLennan Park.  Weather was overcast, bit wet and we managed to have a super fun photo session! Thank you for asking me to take your family photos :)

I love this photo of the girls including mom looking at dad...

M and E like to have fun too!

Giggles are good for the {heart}

 

I have been seeing these collage ideas and of course I was dying to do one...turned out better than anticipated!
 
 

Ready for the holidays

I  {LOVE} this time of the year, Christmas is so enchanting especially now that I have my own little family.  In my family since I was a young teenager we decided not to give gifts instead we  enjoyed each others company, ate until our bellies exploded until 3am and of course with a few good glasses of wine and drinks. This worked very well even up to today.  Although I think now that we have our young toddler, the gift giving will starts again...just a few.  We have also embraced giving back through donations to local organizations.

This year we will have a busy house with family from UK and my family including my aunt from Canada.  My husband and I are really looking forward to having a full house.  And this year instead of turkey and ham, we will do a seafood dinner, which I am {SUPER} excited about!!  And yes we will eat until our bellies explodes.

I cannot believe Christmas is a week away.  Our house is all dolled up...this is why I love this time of the year.  I am truly grateful for such an amazing year, blessed with a wonderful, hardworking hubby, a beautiful healthy boy who brings so much joy to our little family, a home that keeps us warm and comfortable.

I also feel blessed to have venture on my passion.  A huge thank you to all the wonderful families and couples I have meet this year.  I look forward to another great year. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!

 

Baby H :: 6 weeks

Baby H and his mom came into the studio a few weeks ago.  He was wide awake and so alert during the first 45 minutes.  Baby H showed off his kicks and punches, eventually tiring himself out.  I say this excitedly with giggles...I also got to rock him sound asleep, to sneak in those "deep sleep" poses and it was a success (giving mom a break too!)!  I really miss my son when he was this age, how much smaller and how much they slept but, each stage of a child's life is always new/different/fun.

I love this quote "A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.”

Thank you Baby H and mom for this session!

Fall "B" Family Session :: Menotomy Rocks

I am so happy to introduce the B Family who brought along a little something extra to our photo session...their family dog, Theodore.  I was so excited since I have never had a session with a family pet.  Theodore was photogenic for a dog and was in...shall I say dog heaven with all the nature (you'll see in some pictures).

There are so many favorites from their session, it was really hard to chose which ones to post!
Thank you so much for a lovely morning, I had a lot of fun!

Totally loving Baby "H" smile in the right photograph.

 I love these two photos with mom

 Ahhhhhhhh....

Seriously, having kids for adults is for us to be kids again!

 Of course one for mom and dad

Newborn :: 13 days :: Miss Little "E"

Meet Miss Evalyn Jade, who was born 13 days ago.  With my son who is 19 months old, I forgot how tiny and precious newborns were.  This was my very first newborn session, thank you so much to her parents for allowing me to photograph her and congratulations.

“The moment you hold your baby in your arms for the first time,
you wonder how could such a tiny bundle of thing creates so much emotions within you.
And you wonder if it’s possible that you’ve actually brought such a tiny, beautiful being into this world. “

Welcome to the world, sweet little Evalyn Jade … what a beautiful baby you are …

Jenny & her mom :: Fall Model Photo shoot

I met Jenny in 2010 when we worked together at Copley Place in Boston.  First impressions, she was sweet, kind, fun and overall I could tell a very good person with a good heart!  So I knew she grew up in a loving family with loving parents, how generous was it of Jenny, who works full-time to use her personal time for helping me build my portfolio.   She also brought along her beautiful mom, who's awesome.  I couldn't have asked for more, they were naturals in front of the camera and were really just enjoying "mother-daughter" so sweet.  Thank you so much for being my models and I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I love taking them of both of you.

"The love between a mother and her daughter is special. A mother takes her daughter under her wing and teaches her how to be a woman. In order to do this, you have to ask yourself what it means to be a woman of today. How do you balance care for others with your own quest for meaning and joy in life and how do you pass on these lessons to your daughter?"
