BOSTON CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHER, BOSTON FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER, BOSTON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

I came home from shooting this session and Janey looked like she was in about the third grade. A serious giant. Still awesome and adorable, but there is something about a little baby that you can pick up in one hand (but you wouldn’t), and shush them to sleep, and they just nestle in and set. As long as they are warm, fed and loved… what else do they need? What else do any of us need? Ah, to have that in life.

I loved my time with Baby Hudson. I loved my time catching up with his mom too and hopefully can meet his dad someday as well. Hudson’s mom is going to be Christofer’s teacher and I have to tell you, both Owen and I are beyond thrilled about that. We already love where he is in school, we are excited Janey will start in the fall. Christofer has already received just the best care, teaching, love and attention… his teachers are great… but still… Miss Jill… she’s sort of legend in her own short time. So needless to say, I pretty much haunted her every day from about her 2nd trimester on…”can I take your newborns, please, now can I take them, please?”

It was my pleasure. And he is your pleasure. And I am so excited for you!

And how could I forget baby #1??  He was such a good helper today!

Typically I don’t double blog sessions. I do come across a lot of favorites while I am reviewing a session and sometimes think “I should have waited and blogged this one” but then I hope that it will just be a pleasant surprise when the family sees their session. But I loved this one. This is not my style. Typically I am not artsy, ethereal or dreamy (though I would love to be). And to be honest, I wasn’t even really shooting any more for this, I think I was squatting on the ground to put my gear away and looked up to get this, I didn’t even change my settings, but I looked up and saw it and snapped. But I love the way they are both looking at a land far, far away… maybe thinking about home.., in Spain or the one just a block away. And I just started humming…

Let me know what you think!

We always tell Christofer that his white sneakers are his superfastshoes — it has to be said as one word, superfast.  Luca wore his superfastshoes today.  Although I think Luca wears them every day.  And that is why his beautiful mommy looks as fit and radiant as she does…  all that chasing around.   No, she looks radiant for other reasons, but you certainly can’t tell as she might just be the “haute-est” momma-to-be I’ve seen in a long time.  It was so fun for me to meet Paco, Sophie and Luca and I am so glad we were able to connect before they head home to Spain.  We had a very fun time together and we all got in a great workout running after Luca, and he had a great time exploring.  As a mom, I totally see the value in having a stranger chasing around your child with a camera… the kid never stops, and then he naps.  Hopefully for a long time.  So I should just market myself as a “nap preparation specialist.”  No?

OK, landing the plane… this is a gorgeous family and I am thrilled I photographed them.  Many thanks!

Because I know these ARE priceless. This is the reason I am a photographer. No other reason than this.

Every once in a while, well, actually, all the time, I come across images that just make me smile. Usually I know the minute I take them. I am feverishly proofing to finish up Lisa’s session, it’s taking me 2X as long because it’s a big family with a big gallery… and I came across this one. I knew I loved it when I shot it, I knew I loved it when I starred the gallery (my ranking system) and then I knew I loved it even more when I edited it. Which by the way, was really not editing at all because it came out of the camera pretty damn close to this and really, what’s to do with a face like this?

Thanks for your patience, I hope it is worth the wait!
