I love my family session clients. I have a LOT of repeat clients, as you will see today and tomorrow (fave kids images). I get a little attached to you all – I just love catching up with families, watching the little ones grow up, it’s one of my favorite things about my job. It’s such an honor for me to be included in your lives, even if only for a little while. I tried to keep this someone respectable in length…but it’s pretty long. And I had to curb myself a LOT here. I still have a few sessions… Keep reading

2012 Favorites: Newborns
…and a few maternity ones also. 🙂 I don’t photograph a lot of maternity portraits, but I love doing them. It’s such a special time for any family. I loved working with my newborn clients this year. As you can see, I’ve been moving towards a more natural, lifestyle feel to my newborn images. I love working with beautifully textured blankets and wraps, and using cozy, hand-knit hats and headbands sometimes. Many of the items I use are now things my clients provide – I love the personal touch it adds to my sessions. I’m also a big fan of… Keep reading
The H Family
Happy Monday! I wanted to share this sweet family session from October with you today. This family was just so wonderful! I met them at their home in Concord for their session. I think mom did a fabulous job styling their outfits – I loved the overall look! This is a great example for all of my family clients who ask me what to wear for their session. The colors are coordinating, but not super matchy, and she used prints, texture, and layers awesomely (it is so a word!). It was truly a lovely fall afternoon, I loved meeting this… Keep reading
The O Family
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I can’t believe it’s almost December already, it feels like we were at swim lessons yesterday. I wanted to start off this week with one of my favorite families. If you’ve been following my work for a while now, you’ll immediately recognize them. And I believe I’ve already professed my love for them (here, to name one), so I’m going to keep my words short on this one. I just love getting to see these guys a few times a year, I wish it were more! (But no, Coll, we’re not planning a… Keep reading
Boys
As you probably know, I’m new to this “mom of boys” business. Kellan just turned one (I have photos! Promise!), and I’m getting used to the chaos that comes with having boys. The lack of caring about being dirty, the rough and tumble wrestling that happens in my living room (yes, even at one, Kellan can hold his own with his big sister!), and the sweetness. That’s the killer for me. One grin from him, and he can have anything he wants. Anyway, this post isn’t about me! I did photos for this wonderful family here back in September, during… Keep reading
Allison and Scott
Allison & Scott were married on their family farm in Harvard, MA, in September. When I met them last winter to talk about their wedding, I knew this was going to be a great wedding. Usually my client meetings are maybe an hour – we stayed chatting for about two hours! I left our meeting pretty excited at some of the details we’d talked about – I knew this was going to be a beautiful wedding. And I was right! Every time I turned around, I saw another great detail that fit in with their day and their personalities so… Keep reading
Kendall
Seriously. WHERE has the past year gone. Kendall is ONE now. (Well, she was in August. Pretend it’s August for me.) I approached this session with equal amounts excitement and sadness – I was excited to see how big Kendall had gotten, and what she is doing these days, but also so sad because she’s “graduated” from my Baby Plan! SOB! Can you tell I get attached to my clients friends? It’s hard not to when you’re all so wonderful. Anyway, I met Rachel, Brad & Kendall at their new place in Somerville, and we headed over to a nearby park… Keep reading
Maya
Before I bombard you with fall photo sessions (because that’s coming, as soon as I get some sessions edited!), I wanted to share this adorable little girl, Maya. I met up with Maya and her parents out in Western MA back in July for her one year photos. Maya is so quietly sweet, and curious about everything! Maya was a little superstar during her session, and I just love her outfits. It was a beautiful day, so we took full advantage of the hot summer sun! Below are just a few of my favorites…I’d probably post the entire session if… Keep reading
Joni and Brian
Joni contacted me last fall about photographing her & Brian’s wedding. The minute she told me it was going to be in Amherst, MA, I was in. I went to college in Amherst, and LOVE any chance to go back and visit the area. And Amherst in June, when their wedding was? Gorgeous. I was beyond thrilled when they told me they wanted me to do the wedding – more like ecstatic. Joni & Brian were married at The Red Barn at Hampshire College, under a gorgeous tree outside in the beautiful Western MA air (I promise you, the air… Keep reading
Family
I just realized I never shared photos from this session! And it’s one of my favorites! They did the best job coordinating outfits, I loved how they looked, especially with the green background. This was for an extended family session – not something I do often, but make exceptions for some special people. 🙂 We did this session way out in Western MA, in Pittsfield, where I grew up. I love going back to visit friends & family, I think I’ve said that before. It was so great to see this family again and catch up for a bit. Here… Keep reading
