I don’t even know where the time went, I have no excuse. I have so many good things to share with you all! I’m going to start with this adorable little girly girl here, Ella. Seventeen month old Ella is our niece (J’s sister’s daughter), and she’s the sweetest little girl. Always in a good mood, and she just wants to RUN. You’ll see from the photos what I mean. :) She loves exploring! Below are just a few of my favorites from our quick session last weekend.

Well, she’s almost 7 months by now. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Kendall and her parents last month to take her six month photos. This was an extra special session for them, as they’ll be moving soon, so this was the last time we would be shooting at their place in Cambridge. Kendall was a little apprehensive when I first got there, but totally warmed up by the end. She is SUCH a sweetheart! Below are just a few of my favorites.

I wanted to post this for two reasons:
1. I wanted to share a few shots from a little Valentine’s Day inspired shoot Lila and I did last week. I “made” a simple little set up for her preschool class Valentines – I don’t normally shoot this way. So this was somewhat of a personal challenge too.
2. I also wanted to share a tiny peek into what goes on in our sessions – Lila’s a bit more of a challenge for me than my regular clients, most likely because I have the camera on her daily, instead of maybe once a year. She knows all my tricks and bribes, and doesn’t give me an inch anymore. I have to WORK for my photos of her!

So all of these images are from a recent mini session (and I mean mini – the time stamps on these start at 10:58am, and end at 11:21am, with breaks in there to play with Kellan too) with Lila. She’s about to turn three years old in a couple of weeks, and she’s fully embraced the attitude that comes with being three already. Now those of you who know me KNOW I’m not crafty at all. And yes, I made those heart garlands you see – no laughing!

Without further ado, here is a little glimpse into what 20 minutes of a photo session with a three year old looks like.

Back behind the garland for more attitude…
Under it, to kick it – we must destroy it! And play with the outlet! (It’s a childproof outlet, and she didn’t play with it, promise.)
I fear for her teenage years.
But wait a minute! Mom always wins. Yes, yes she does. :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

I met this adorable family at the Tower Hill Botanic Gardens in Boylston MA for a sunset family session. The weather was perfect (warm, for October!), and the Gardens were just beautiful. I’d never been to Tower Hill before, and I can not wait to go back! Here are just a few favorites from that evening.

I’ve been photographing them since Campbell was one, and I love getting to catch up with them. It is crazy to me that she is in school now!

I LOVE that people come back every year to do new photos. It’s wonderful to catch up with families, and see how the kids have grown. (I also feel like I’ve said this before on here, so forgive me if I sound like a broken record!)

The day of our session was another one of those gloomy days we had so many of last fall – chilly, drizzly, soaking wet ground, and what we call “pea soup light” – flat, gray, and dull. We were determined to make it work for us, and the kids (cousins, I love how close they are!) did a fabulous job! Below are just a few of my favorites.

I think that might be a recurring theme this year, as I figure out how to parent 2 kids at once (seriously – how do you parents all do this?! I need to figure out a way to clone myself). This past year did put us to the test in many ways, so I’m really looking forward to a fabulous 2012. I have a feeling it’s going to be an amazing year!

Many were repeat clients, and were very at ease with me because they already knew me, but even the “first-timers” did a fantastic job being little models for the day. I always love my kids sessions, and leave them wondering how I lucked out by getting into this line of work.

I’ve been so busy the past few months, I haven’t had time to keep up on here. So today, I’m going to start with a session I just totally love, from back in August (eep, August!). I thought it was fitting to post this session today, what with all of the gorgeous summer-like weather we’ve been having around here lately!

I met up with this wonderful family down in Marshfield, MA for an early morning session on Rexhame Beach. The light was so beautiful, it has had me wishing we lived closer to the beach ever since!

Who, in all fairness, is my first favorite. :) ). I took his newborn photos last October, and he slept – and I mean really SLEPT – for over 3 hours for me.

He always gives me the biggest smiles when I see him, and he loves to cuddle. He’s just the sweetest boy! I took these last month, so he’s about 9 months here–still smiling away, and making my job super easy.
