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

With best intentions, I wanted this to be blogged more than a week ago. I finished the gallery and slideshow quickly — and that is because I had an appointment with Corey so she could squeeze me in one day working, and so with that favor, who was I not to edit her images? So I excitedly tossed my laptop in my bag and head to the salon, only to later realize that the minute I closed my computer, the logic board died. When it was finally returned (covered under warranty, yay!), 7 keys didn’t work (loose cable, coupled with a LOT of food in the keyboard). So that added to the delay, and then, well, there’s life.

That said, Corey and Jim were so excited to welcome their little baby girl. And they are both adjusting to parenting, and their new roles, and are so cute, and loving and happy. Corey looks amazing, but we knew she would after we saw how insane she looked during her pregnancy. Baby Nicoletta is so sweet.  Her skin is perfect (even her peely feet, which might be my FAV thing about little babies!).  She is sweet and wide-eyed, and never once fussed (except when she was hungry, and c’mon, I know I still fuss when I am hungry!).  I loved having them at my studio.  And I am so excited for a lifetime of blond hair in my future, and photographs in theirs!

Jennifer found me through one of my clients for whom I shot one of my favorite sessions.  If you’ve been in the studio, you know that I have a vignette of BW framed prints from that session, as well as a sample BW album.  To say I really liked that family and session is an understatement.  So when Caroline referred Jennifer to me, needless to say, I was thrilled.  Jennifer and Alexander live in a wonderful home that is not only filled with beautiful books and photographs and art, but also with love.  They are a pair, that (pardon the Jerry Maguire pun), completes each other.  Much to my delight, when we finally decided on a session date, it was Saturday of Greek Easter, and of course, Jennifer is Greek!  What a treat, so wonderful to know that Alexander has a Yai-ya and Pappou… and that we’d both be celebrating with an overload of wonderful family and food the next day.

So here are my favorites, not all my favorites because that would be the entire session, but enough so that you understand that this too will be a session that will make me incredibly happy, and undoubtedly end up somewhere on my sample wall, along side Caroline!

One of my very favorite things about newborn clients is that I am on the “first to know” list when a baby is born.  I actually get a little giddy when I get the email. Another beautiful baby has entered the world.  One of my next favorite things, is repeat clients, who have come back to me over the years.  This family is one.  When I was just starting out, I shot this big brother’s newborn session.  I still remember him being such a beautiful baby, and I used him for so many displays.  As he grew up, twice photographed him along with his BFF (well, their moms are BFFs, so I made a generational assumption there).  So when I heard the good news that he’d be a big brother, I did what I do best.  I immediately lost the email.  Luckily, this mom knows me well, and cuts me slack (as all my awesome clients do), and I was WELL prepared and expecting their “our baby is here!” notification.   And finally, another favorite thing is when clients come and hang out with me in my studio.  It’s honestly just like family.  I am so happy there, warm and cozy with the winter weather.  A little movie action on the big screen.  An adorable baby.  Coffee from the market.  Life is good.

So these guys did not disappoint.  Everyone who has peaked over my shoulder has agreed… they are a gorgeous family.  Thank you so much… I am so truly grateful that you are my clients…and now friends.

Jen and Billy and Romar and Chloe and Leah came by for a visit. Alright, I hounded them to come by for a visit. The other day I was joking on Facebook about giving free sessions to people who wiped my kids bums and cared for them… so I wanted to clarify, Jen actually RAISED my kids for a while. So needless to say, that gets her soup-to-nuts everything in the photog world. And I love seeing how their family has grown, and is now one, and a happy forever home and family for Romar, and the twins are all sorts of crazy goodness. Awesome sauce [right girls? was that proper use?]. Church.

So here are some from their sesh. Delish.
