Family portrait session (Sarah, Mike, and 1-year-old W) – Boston, MA

Well, that was a quick year! Goodness, little W, you were all sweetness when you were first born, super adorable at 6-months, and now, at 1-year-old, you are all adventurous and on-the-go! I could tell even before you were born that your parents were going to rock the whole parenthood thing. And sure enough, they are. They are eating up your coy looks, your curious nature, and risky climbing abilities.

We were fortunate to have perfect weather for our 1-year shoot – so perfect that all of Boston was out on the Common! We managed to find a few quiet(er) spots for some fun family shots and some of sweet W with his not-so-new-found walking legs (he was walking at 9-months!). It’s been such a wonderful treat getting to know you all so well, Sarah & Mike. From your maternity shoot, to the extended family sessions, to now, I feel so lucky for the opportunity. Congrats on surviving and thriving the first year!

Newborn session – (Suzanna, Nick, J, & J) – Winchester, MA

When asked if there was anyone new at his house, sweet J, beaming with pride, managed to tell me his new baby brother’s first name as he hid behind his daddy’s leg. Right away, this kid, who, during our first session about a year and a half ago went into complete hiding after just a few minutes into our session, was more than willing to get into the frame for some family-of-four portraits. He held his little brother gently, kissed his forehead, and seemed to admire the smallness of him, unaware that he, too, was that small once upon a time. Baby J was alert and seemed to take in all that was going on around him – except when he was just about to fall asleep and big brother decided it was time to crawl up on the bed with him!

Suzanna and Nick, what a lovely little pod of four you have there. Wishing you so many cuddles and awe-inspiring moments with your two adorable boys. Oh, and lots of space for the trains, trucks, Legos, and superheros that lie in your future.

Day in the Life (Lisa, Eric, S, & G) – South End – Boston, MA

Wake up at 5:45am, walk dog, brush kids’ teeth, coordinate dress-up, play cars, make/eat/clean-up breakfast, get dressed, and then the activities of the day begins. Are you exhausted yet? These twins keep their parents going all morning long (with only one stop for coffee!). But isn’t it a thing of beauty? All of these things – the donning of a princess crown, the setting up of paints, the scooting around the neighborhood, time spent at a sports activity, finding flowers to plant by your front door – all of these seemingly minute things add up to to meaningful and magical childhood.

Eric and Lisa, thank you for allowing me to document your Sunday morning. The love you have for these two beautiful souls is palpable. Wishing you many more weekend mornings just like this!
