Charlestown Child Photographer | Boston Family Photographer

I remember this day so well. First it started out with a fun child and a family session. What is cuter than a boy and his dog playing together? This little man I’ve photographed 3 times now since he was a newborn and now in these photos 1.5 yrs old.  We first met at the local park near my studio and then headed over to finish their family portraits at the studio.  Oh and why else do I remember this day…well we got socked with that winter snow storm in October and then were without power for 4 days.  What a freaky day it was. I am happy to look back at this morning and remember those fun portraits we captured of this family together. Here are some favorites from there outdoor child and studio family photography session here in Framingham.

Best Photography of 2011 | Boston Photographer MA

Happy New Year…its hard to believe 2012 is already here! 2011 was one of our busiest years yet and to showcase favorites from each session we decided to make best of photography collages. I had so much fun going through each session and picking out images, so many fun and exciting memories came flooding back. From expectant parents excited to meet their new baby(s), to watching all those new babies yawn and sleep during their sessions, sharing laughs and giggles with kids on the go, with a few bribes here and there to get them to cooperate, to enjoying warm sandy nights on the beach, playing in the leaves with families and capturing high school seniors in the beautiful light in the fall. Thank you everyone who I met and photographed in 2011 and I look forward to seeing you in 2012.

Enjoy!

Outdoor Family Session | Boston Baby and Family Photographer

What a gorgeous afternoon it was this past fall for this Boston family’s outdoor session here in Framingham.  The colors were just starting to change and added a nice natural backdrop to their session.  The baby just about 3 months old and was cute as can be. Her big sister was very obedient as she sat right next to her for the “sibling” portraits. I swear I even see a “puppy smile” on her face. :)   Mom and Dad were great along with the grandparents who visiting Boston.

Here are some from favorites from their outdoor photography session in Metrowest Boston …

In Home Newborn Photography | Worcester Photographer | Newborn Photographer MA

This little girl was so sweet and I just love her wide-eyed expressions. It was so nice to meet that little baby that was growing in her mommy’s tummy for their in home newborn session. Here is a link to their in studio maternity session . Even big sister joined in for some portraits. I love including all members of the family in my sessions. We used a natural setting in their home using my portable studio lighting and perfect natural light coming in from their windows. Mom and dad were so laid back during the session, which I know can be hard when you are sleep deprived. Here are some favorites from their in home newborn session…

Boston Newborn Photographer | In Home Photography |13 days old

What a sweet little boy this lil guy was. Even at 13 days old I could sense his sweet personality.  I provided an in home newborn session for this Boston family. They had a beautiful back yard that offered some nice outdoor portraits and even got his big brother ( Mr. Franklin)  to sit long enough for a few shots. Whenever possible I like to include pets in family portraits, they are big member of the family and usually a couple’s first child. :)   I just loved  their new son’s contagious yawns and little poses he offered us. Here are some favorites from their Boston Newborn Photography Session…

Boston Metrowest Child and Family Photographer | One Year Old Portraits

I have had so much fun with all the one years old this past month. They have been the happiest and smiliest children…just loving the camera(s). I met this sweet little girl at her home with her parents for an outdoor session. What a cutie-pie, I just loved her expressions and all the discovering she did in her yard. She even got to play with few of mom and dad’s garden flowers. The tutu was a perfect outfit for her session. I even captured her peering out her favorite widow with her big sister… her doggie. Here are some favorites from their outdoor at home session…

Boston Baby Photography | North Shore Photographer | Lifestyle Photographer

Spring is in the air…well with this past few weeks of beautiful weather its felt more like summer. I think we are making up for last year’s rainy weather, thankfully. I headed up to the north shore to photograph this gorgeous family and their two beautiful baby girls. :) We started photographing their 6 month old daughter in their living room and capturing her baby blue eyes and very sweet smiles. Then we headed outside to do some sibling shots..okay so her big sister is a dog. We all know that pets are a big part of families so it was great that she cooperated. Her big doggie sister was so cute with her and even snuck in a kiss during the shoot. As we ended the session we headed over to a local farm; it added such a picturesque landscape. That location was a perfect ending to their session. Here are some favorites…
