Sisters | Ashland Children’s Photographer

December 3, 2009

This family is one of my favorite families in the world. We’ve been friends since before all the girls were born (theirs and ours), and have had so much fun since we moved out near them about 3 years ago. I love watching the girls grow up together, and hope we’ll be living near each other for a long time!

Last time we were over, mom and I took on all 4 girls (I had L with me), and attempted a mini-session for some Christmas cards. I’m not going to show the photos they picked for their cards (but I may be doing a post with a bunch of my clients’ card choices after the holidays, so stay tuned!), but I just HAD to share some of my faves from the day.

Mom had the CUTEST matching red dresses for the girls, which we did first, before everyone got antsy.

We also went outside to play in all the leaves. The girls loved this!

And just the sweetest moment (this was totally unprovoked, I’m so happy I saw this!):

D Family, we love you guys! I’m sure we’ll have many more days like these as the girls grow up, and we can’t wait.

City Living | East Boston Baby Photographer

November 2, 2009

Little M here is just about 3 months old, and was such a sweetheart to photograph! He is so laid back and easy-going–quite the opposite of what I’m used to in our house.

I’ve known M’s dad since high school (maybe even earlier??), and it was great to see him again! He and his wife own an AMAZING pizza/pasta/panini restaurant in East Boston called Dough. You HAVE to go check it out if you’re in the area. They made me a stromboli to bring home, and omg, it was so, SO good. If we lived closer, I’d probably be in daily…and my hips would NOT be happy, haha.

M’s mom took me to a gorgeous park overlooking the city for our session:

I do really miss places like this, living in the suburbs. It was such a treat to come here for a little while.

So, back to Mr. M. Talk about laid-back! He barely made a peep while we were shooting, he was unfazed. And his HAIR, well, it just speaks for itself. Have a look:

And that’s all-natural! How cute is that??

We just had to get the skyline in the background for one shot.

And finally, my favorite. Something about this one…

Thank you, C family, for your sweet hospitality and a fun afternoon! It was really great to catch up, and my husband is STILL asking when I’m going to bring him to Eastie to eat at Dough. He’s addicted!

Apples, Leaves, and Love | Pittsfield Family Photographer

October 20, 2009

My family and I took a trip back to where I grew up over Columbus Day weekend. It is beautiful out there any time of year (well, except maybe from January-March…), and we were coming up on the end of peak foliage season, so I wanted to go out for a few days to relax and enjoy it.

We visited the ‘rents, and I was lucky enough to meet up with my longest-known friend (almost wrote “oldest”, but realized how that sounded!), and her amazing family, to get some updated family photos. Mom and I have known each other since we were a few months old, and I still remember the days of sleeping over her house (ask her about how I’d wake up super early to read all of her Babysitter’s Club books, haha), and her teaching me how to curl my bangs. And now we’re both moms with families of our own! Although, with her adorable twin boys, I have a feeling it’s going to be more about sports and trucks than Babysitter’s Club and hair in her house.

I’ve been photographing these little guys since they were months old, and now they’re TWO. Time flies!! They are the most energetic boys, they loved running all over their yard, having tickle fights with mom, being tossed in the air by dad, and dancing to “ashes, ashes, they all fall DOWN!”.

We also ran up to the nearby apple orchard for some quick photos at the end, make sure you scroll to the bottom of this post to see the fabulous Berkshire County foliage!

(This one I would call “emotionally in focus”–I totally love this shot.)

(Being tickled by mom, they were cracking up!)

(I wouldn’t normally include two similar shots, but I just couldn’t pick between the two of dad tossing E in the air!)

And finally, those of you who are fans on Facebook have already seen this, it is my fave so far. I am in love with this shot!

OD Family, thank you guys so much for such a fun day! We loved catching up with you, hopefully we will see you again over the holidays. xoxo

Improvising | MA Children’s Photographer

September 24, 2009

I met up with this adorable family at their home in New Hampshire a couple of weekends ago, for a shoot with 15 month old twins, and their almost-2-year-old cousin.

We had big plans for some outside shots of them running around, playing, and enjoying the late summer weather. Well, wouldn’t you know it, Mother Nature had other plans for us. Saturday arrived with 60 degree weather, torrential rains, and gusty winds. We decided to make the most of it, and just bring the shoot indoors instead! The family was ever so gracious to me, traipsing around their beautiful home, on the search for some pretty light and fun settings.

(They loved playing on mom & dad’s bed!)

(Chaos and craziness in one of the twin’s cribs!)

(Sweet little A, wondering where the boys went.)

(S. was such a ham for the camera, I wanted to take him home with me!)

(Mr. M, on the other hand, was NOT impressed with me. I think I won him over by the end though.)

I think this one might be my favorite though. I can’t take the cuteness, I LOVE it!

K family, your gallery will be up shortly! Thanks for a wonderful session, you were all awesome. You ARE awesome. We will definitely plan for a late afternoon golden sunlight shoot for some other time.

The Last Days of Summer | Ashland Childrens’ Photographer

September 7, 2009

I met up with these adorable girls last week, to go for a fun nature walk in the woods around here.

The little girl on the right is the cousin of the other two, visiting from California. They had so much fun running around the trails, climbing giant rocks, and exploring in these woods.

The mosquitoes were out in full force though, so we didn’t stay too long–gotta love late summer in New England!

I think this next shot is my favorite–I love how real it is. I almost didn’t edit this, and I’m so glad I did! It was really bright out this day, as you can tell from their expressions.

All of the black background shots were taken on their trampoline. We didn’t do jumping shots though, we will definitely have to next time!

Busy Bee |MA Childrens’ Photographer|

September 4, 2009

Wow, where did the summer go?? It’s September already?? I can’t even believe it.

I’m sure you’re all wondering where I ran off to these past couple of weeks. It has been a whirlwind! Lots of traveling to see family, friends, and lots of shooting–my fave.

Here is a little glimpse at all of the fun I’ve been having!

This first little one may look familiar to those of you who are fans of MJP on Facebook.

Met up with these adorable boys in VA while visiting the in-laws. Their mom is a good friend of mine, and an amazing photographer. I took these with her sweet 105 macro, which I am now lusting after. (Jon, if you’re reading this, make note!)

September is looking to be another busy month here–and I can not wait, this is my favorite time of year! Late summer, early fall, all the way through the holidays–it doesn’t get any better than this.

In honor of my giddiness at this time of year, I will be offering a couple of specials coming up soon–so make sure you subscribe/fan/follow me, to get all of your up-to-the-minute news! I will also be announcing ongoing and holiday mini-sessions shortly.

Last piece of business, I am now booked for all weekends in September. I do have a couple of weekday slots still available though.

I’ll end this with my new favorite photo of Lila. Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
