Beautiful Girls

Sometimes things just come together so perfect. Monday night was one of those nights. Kelly and I did some back and forth on the date… a little nervous it might rain, a little nervous a tooth might fall out before we could get this done… but when I arrived at the simply stunning grounds where we’d arranged to meet, it all just came together. The light was divine. The temperature was perfect. There were no misquotes (if you know me, you know I have an obsessive hatred of them right now). The outfits were straight out of “What to Wear” and the girls were truly wonderful.

I am simply beyond thrilled with what I captured. Kelly, thank you so much. I cannot wait for your big family session!

North Shore Peeps… stay tuned… next week I’ll be announcing some local mini sessions that you can take advantage of in preparation for holiday card season… yes, it’s approaching that fast!

Sweet Baby James.

Rockabye Sweet Baby James. And Rockabye we did. To little avail. Prior to my Monday sessions, the other times I’d actually seen James, he’d been out like a light. But not for our session. And do you know what? I am TOTALLY great with that. There is this photographer myth that newborns have to be asleep to get awesome images. And yes, it’s much easier to curl them up and pose them when they are. But seeing as that I emit caffeine from my pores, and seemingly wake up every newborn I spend time with, I’ve adjusted my style to really embrace lifestyle moments. And I LOVE it. I might actually chuck the bean bag and the backdrop all together. Really.

There are a few other reasons I am simply in love with this session. I got to spend time chilling with Steph. And then little Gracie (my son’s future prom date) curled up next to me and proceeded to put on every newborn item I had in my bag. And Colin came home to be the amazing older brother. And it was rainy and grey and I shot the 2nd part of the session at f/2.8 ISO 5000. And I knew it would be B&W grainy. And I loved that too.

We have some future plans for Sweet Baby James involving some super cute new things I want to try out. We’ll feature those in the next installment of the Sweet Baby James Show! Stay tuned!

Yes, I realize this is a monster of a sneak peak. And I know I should be doing my taxes. But Steph deserves this!

Jack & Will – 3.5 Months

I absolutely love heading down the street for these sessions. I have so many ideas for the warm weather, and for when these guys can sit up! I am thinking my May session is going to be off the hook… and hopefully for the June session we’ll shoot the entire family! I am hoping we can do one full session just in the barn. It is so fun watching Jack & Will grow each month… they are out of the newborn stage where you have to carefully hold up their heads and worry endlessly about them. They are really strong and sturdy and push up so well! They are getting the hang of holding their feet and I bet it’s so soon before they are really rolling over… then a whole new set of worries!

Can’t wait for next month!

I am running out of blog titles..

Because every blog title I want to use is “My Clients Are Gorgeous.” And Heather and her kids are no exception. In fact, not only are they gorgeous, their outfits were great, the location perfect and the light To.DIE.For. It was sort of gloomy when we started off and by the end of the day, around 5:30, it was phenomenal. I sort of started dialing for dollars wondering who else I could shoot because it was just that good.

Anyway, I love Heather. We go way back, like way farther back than we realized, and it took us a year to figure it out! We were both Lotus peeps in North Reading back in the day. Heather has moved on to MUCH greener pastures and is loving life. Her kids also rock. Her boys are seriously good boys and are so awesome with each other and with Emmy. Who is one of Christofer’s girls. Well, not really since she is older, but he does have a little crush on her. And she is stunning. They all are.

So here they are… rockin’ River Road and the Sledding Hill… glorious glorious light!
