Newborn session (Inga, Jeff, N, L, & K) – Salem, MA

She is surrounded by love – her parents, her brothers, and her grandparents (one set who is visiting all the way from Germany). You can see it on their smiles as they look at her. You can feel it in the way they hold her. You can sense it in the way they ooh and ahh over her tiny hands. Such tiny hands.

Jeff and Inga, congratulations again on your absolutely stunning baby girl. Breathe it all in. Before you know it, she’ll be running around, trying to keep up with those two handsome boys of yours!

Family portrait session (Diandra, Patrick, J, & E) – Wakefield, MA

Have you ever seen a kid fight a smile? Like, they don’t *want* to smile, but their cheeks go up and then they try really hard to keep their mouth from following suit and doing that thing – you know, smiling. Case in point, sweet little J. Even though she may have thought something was funny on this particular morning, she was definitely not going to let on that she thought so. Ultimately, it was her dad who cracked the code to letting her face reveal just how much fun she was having. The first time he tried it, he intentionally fell over backwards over a log. She *sorta* thought it was funny. It took the real deal of a misstep (falling into a giant hole left by an upturned tree stump) to get her to show off her brilliant smile. Her little sister, on the other hand, seemed a little more interested in running around and keeping her parents on their toes.

Diandra and Patrick, what sweet little girls you have! Thank you so much for sharing your morning with me.

Family portrait session (Tracy, Dean, A, D, & L) – Charlestown, MA

Nothing says, “I’m growing up” quite as loudly as when you go to put them in the pair of pants they wore just the other day and you see that they now look like clam-diggers. So when the mom rushes into the garage, into a seemingly hidden closet, and whips out a pair of jeans the next size up, fitting him perfectly – you applaud. Loudly. Brava mama.

These three kiddos are full of energy, fun, curiosity, and love. Head to toe love! Thanks so much Tracy and Dean for the stroll through your ‘hood with your babies. (They will always be your babies, no matter how big they get.)

Family portrait session (Shilpa, Jim, E, & A) – Belmont, MA

There were bicyclists and gardeners, walkers and bird watchers out and about (one bird watcher was adamant that we take note – and photo – of a particular rare bird, though he wasn’t exactly sure what it was!) on this awesome fall day. While we could all appreciate the grace of a rare bird, there were trails explore, sisters to hug, and trails to run. Sorry, bird – and bird watcher. I hope our fun didn’t scare you away!

Shilpa and Jim, thanks so much for sharing your afternoon with me! I love seeing your girls grow year after year.

Family portrait session (Jess, Rich, E, & C) – Boston, MA

Life in the city before kiddos meant lazy weekend mornings at the local bakery down the street and busy weekdays at work (also just down the street). Life in the ‘burbs with kiddos means sharing your love of the city with them, getting gelato before lunch, and hanging out at the park you used to pass by all the time. These two lucky girls know more about the hot spots in the Pru than I do! We had a little fun poking around there in between popping in and out of the chilly and windy weather happening outside.

Jess and Rich, your girls’ smiles and soulful eyes warm my heart. Thank you for sharing your joy and love for them with me!
