Baby Bump Beauty + J Family

I've been very excited to post this beautiful, glowing momma + bump (due mid-March), her hubby and sweet daughter! Of course it took A LOT longer than I anticipated to blog.  I really love maternity sessions.  We were lucky to have such a mild morning in the middle of January...completely green (can't complain, right?!)  I can't wait to meet Baby K when she arrives!!!  She's going to be a beauty just like her mom, dad and big sister :)

{love} family bond time

Aweeeee Miss K...

 

She's pretty excited to be a big sister and she will make a great one!

 There is such a sweetness in her eyes...

 

Let's get on our shoes...

One of my favorite J family picture!

 

LOVED this idea, marching band!

 

Sooo cute

Just stunning!  I heard a wive's tale when women are pregnant with a baby girl, they apparently take away a mother's beauty, I DON'T THINK SO!  Not even close!

 

Have I mentioned how much I love photo shooting outdoors? LOL

 

Funny faces do make great photographs?!

 LOVE LOVE LOVE

 Can't wait to meet you Baby Kate! xx

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.
