Four Generations of Love

Katie contacted me early fall to book a session unfortunately with busy work schedules we were not able to a session.  However she did mentioned that over the holidays they were having four generations of family together and wanted to treasure this moment (which would be a gift to her mother in-law, how sweet huh?), including her brother who lives overseas and had not been home in 3 years.

As soon as I walked in the door, everyone was so welcoming, it reminded me of my mom's family; large, sweet and so close.  My grandmother had 12 children, crazy to think that many kids but times are different.  It was so nice that this family was willing to go outside to take some 'snow' photographs and I must say they turned out pretty.

Thank you for inviting me to your family's beautiful home and asking me to capture this special time for you Katie!

How gorgeous is her mother in-law's house?

Their beautiful decorated Christmas tree...this has gotta be my most favorite time of the year (maybe except the long winter months)

Love this family!

These next two have to be one of my favorite photographs of grandma and great nana...soo sweet

Special bond with Grandma and Grandpa...

Now we head outside...

Katie's brother and sister-in law <3 p="">

I love Baby N's face...he's too cute!

Check out the vintage wooden sled...

I just love this photo of Katie, her husband her her son!!!  The lighting was just magical at 3pm or so.

Grandma and Baby N....awwwwwwwwwwww...

Four Generations: Baby N, his dad, his grandpa and his great grandpa.  Everyone tried to make Baby N to laugh and smile, I think he's was pretty tired at this point (past nap time).

Of course, the ladies.

D Family & adorable 3 month old Baby B

I met this new family just shortly after Christmas.  Congratulations on your new family, so much fun right?  I must say I haven't meet a family for a while that was so addictively funny as much as they were.  I love seeing families that laugh, after all its good for the heart especially for their adorable son.  Baby B, I can tell has every bits and piece of his mother and fathers personality; super smiley, happy and at time serious.  He definitely made his mother work a little hard for the camera...sure worth it.

Quote for D family: "Children will not remember you for the material things you provided.  But for the feeling that you cherished them."  Richard L Evans

Baby B eye contact with his mother...awwww

His smile and laugh makes my heart melt!

 

This is a cute one too.

Baby B's dad being silly, love it!

G Family :: Cambridge, MA

I meet up with the "G Family" in December in their gorgeous home in Cambridge.  I couldn't resist  falling in love with their family room rug as soon as my feet touch it, which happens to be sheep skin of some sort...it was soooo soft!  I wish I could take it home, LOL.  Definitely a must have for my living room. 

Little Miss C who is 3 1/2 years was sick with a cold, poor thing.  It's so sad and painful for me to see children under the weather.  She was a little shy at first, after we starting playing with her dolls and her big dog, she warmed up fairly fast.  Here are some of my favorite shots.

Hugs are always best when you're not feeling great.

How cute are Miss C's leggings?  This photograph was one of her mother's choices!

Adore dad's face in this one...

{LOVE}

Love this photograph too...her hair resembles a toddler having a fun time.  I called this the funny hair!

Oh here, you can see a bit of their family rug I was telling you about earlier.

Her dog.

 

 Her Princess tent...

Juice + MLK with dad

We enjoyed a relaxing, cold winter morning.  It is nice when my husband has public holidays off, it gives us time to spend as a family.  It also allows me to capture moments between father and son. 

I am not a fan of giving too much juice to my son Donovan.  As a toddler right around his age, , my mother told me all I drank was apple juice.  I drank so much of it, my two front teeth looked like they were rotting, yucky right?  I knew I didn't want that for my son.  Occasionally we do give him juice.  I buy a 6 pack once a month,  although when we do have the occasional soda pop around the house, it's hard to resist giving him a sip when it is in his face and jumping up and down for sugar.

I cannot believe he is almost 21 months.  Time has flown when I think about finding out I was pregnant, the day he was born, first steps...now he shows all sorts of emotions (giving hugs, kisses), saying so many words in two languages, running and so interested in everything, it's such a big world for this little man.  I love you more and more each day Donovan.

For those we had MLK off, hope you had a lovely day.

Reduce sugar apple juice.


I {LOVE}serious look...

 

He really enjoys when dad is home

 

Experimenting with fluid dynamics.

 

The K Family and their dog

I met up with this lovely young family in Medford just a few weeks before the Christmas holidays.  We started off  in their home later finishing outside who I might add their sweet daughter Miss A (super smiley 7 month old) and her parents braved the chilly outdoors to finish off our session.  Their family dog Madigan, whose name I happen to love also join in on the fun!

Some of my favorites from our session!

Loving this family portrait!


She's photogenic alright...

 

This has got to be my fav...her eyes, her tiny fingers, awwww...

Okay love this one too...

I think Little Miss A has dimples

 

One more before we head outside.

Thank you K Family for a fab session :)

Gorgeous W Family + 4 month Baby P

Meet my childhood best friend Lot.  We met in Grade 1 and became friends quickly.  We also went to the same high school and sadly lost contact after.  The last time we saw each other in 2008 was at her niece's wedding and thanks to Facebook we were reconnected when she asked me take photographs for her adorable little man.  Our lives has been similarly parallel, we're both married and first-time mothers.  Not much had changed in her personality, Lot  had the laugh I remembered as a child/teenager and beautiful as I had last seen her. 

Thank you so much Lot for a great afternoon, it was so great to catch up!

So happy to introduce Baby P, who is 4 months old and has been hitting 90 percentile for height and weight.  How cute is he?

I {LOVE} his tiny shoes.

 

What a beautiful family

Here comes baby Santa!  He made us work for his smiles, totally worth it, right?

 

One of my favorites!

 

I am completely obsessed with baby feet, especially his...

How about his lips?

 

 

 

Their family dog, Chopper wanted some picture too...he was so good.

 

 

I love this photography of mother and son, awwwww.

 

And here we are, I wish I had some photos of us 'back in the day', I know my mother has some of us in her albums, will have to grab those next time.  I'm already looking forward to seeing you next time and take more photos of the three (4 including Chopper).
