Family portrait session (Ashley, Stefan, W, & W) – Wakefield, MA

What a fun morning hanging out with these two kiddos and their parents! Little W just turned one-year old and is doing his best to keep up with his big brother (except when big brother is under the table and doesn’t want to put his shirt on). The relatively warm-ish morning meant that we started off outside with jackets on but after just a little bit, we all found ourselves enjoying a little sun without all the layers. We started in the back yard and then off to the playground we went! The brothers had a blast at the park – up the slide, down the slide, to the lake, check out the ducks, back up the slide, and back down.

Ashley and Stefan, what a joy to see you all again! Thanks so much for sharing your morning with me.

Newborn session (Liz, Kristoff, J, & A) – Newton, MA

Just over three years ago, I was in the same house, meeting this lovely couple who had just had their first baby. She was beautiful and sweet, and she didn’t care much for having her photo taken that day. Fast forward to today and that little baby is wholeheartedly embracing her new role as a big sister. Baby A is just as adorable and sweet as she was. And perhaps it’s the calm that comes with having a second child (vs. a first) or perhaps it’s the presence of another little being that reassures and comforts, but little brother rocked his photo session like a pro.

Congratulations again, Liz and Kristoff!

Newborn session (Krissy, Steve, & C) – Stow, MA

Stanley was acting more like a guard dog than anything, unsure of me and my gear, and protecting his family perhaps with a little more fervor than before seeing as there a new little one at home. Baby C arrived a little earlier than expected but seems to be settling in quite nicely with mom and dad. Her super cute and cozy room is filled with her aunt’s hand-crafted decorations and custom-designed mural. Both Krissy and Steve are taking it all in, admiring their sweet girl and every little squeak and yawn.

Congratulations, Krissy and Steve! I’m thrilled and humbled that you thought of me to document the beginnings of this new chapter.

Family portrait session (Lara, James, D, & O) – Brookline, MA

This sweet family has had quite the year. Soon after little miss was born, she needed to have heart surgery. But here she is now, almost a year old and looking at her, you’d never know it. She’s super smiley, is in awe of her loving big brother, and could not be cuter. These guys were troopers, braving some unseasonably cold and windy weather (we actually had to move to a lower elevation than where we originally started to get out of the blustery wind!). We played in the gorgeous, colorful leaves and got some good snuggle time in, too.

Lara and James, congratulations on your baby girl! So happy for all of you.

Family portrait session (Sarah, Scott, & R) – West Newbury, MA

Ohhh, I love this family and their sweet, old, house (circa 1746) which Sarah has painstakingly and lovingly decorated perfectly! Their new little peanut arrived a couple of months ago and from what I can tell, she has brought so much joy to her parents. Their fur baby also seems to have taken a liking to the newest family member as well, following her everywhere she goes with delight (and sometimes with a giant stick in her mouth). This little one was tired by the end of our session and performed a magic trick that I never witnessed with my own two when they were that age: she fussed for about 1 minute (yes, 1 minute) and then completely and utterly zonked out in her mother’s arms. I mean, seriously, it was the “out cold” kind of zonking out. It was amazing.

Sarah and Scott, congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! What a pleasure it was to meet you all. And thank you to all of Sarah’s students and their families who gifted her this session!
