Back in the mid 70s a young couple bought this house - and I wonder if they ever imagined that more 30 years later, they'd stand out front with their handsome progeny all assembled like this: With just their...
June 2012 - Boston Baby Photos Blog
Everybody's in town, let's capture it!
Once upon a time, many years ago, two parents had two (what I'm sure were) fantastic little boys. Then those boys grew up and married two fabulous women. And then, would you believe it, those two original parents got...
Tuesday tip: Just snap it.
Document family by just stepping back from a silly moment and snapping the shutter. You don't necessarily have to get all the faces smiling or even pointed in your direction... just capture the...
What, you like my hat? This old thing?
You guys know I'm not really a "hat" baby photographer. But when there's one just LYING around... and when a 9 month old sweetie feels like she's ready for her closeup in it... who am I to say no? Incredible cuteness. I'm...
Tuesday tip: Let things slow down and get quiet
A general rule for me and baby/toddler photography has to do with speed - I find that doing shoots quickly makes it easier on everybody. I don't think children enjoy having someone follow them around with a camera for hours at...
Love, energy and sprinklers
Now about two and a half years ago I took pictures of this extraordinary big sister, but I did it at her grandma's house, as a surprise for her parents. She's a strong, amazing 5 year old with some special needs, and now she's a...
Tuesday tip: See if you can tell more than one story
Think about all the corners of your picture. Maybe include two stories in one image -- pull back a bit to capture more of what's happening in the room. Maybe a sibling is doing a dance in the background, trying to get your...
Two STILL under two
Now you know these guys are close in age and their parents are rock stars for having them so close together when I'm back for a second photoshoot with the new baby (she's not even a new baby any more, big girl!) and we still have...
Summer Beach Mini-session #2
This is the second of two minishoots I did at the beach last Friday - you can see the other one (and learn about scheduling your own minishoot day with your friends) here. And n0w I need a new beach hat. This one looks SOooo...
Summer Beach Mini-session #1
This fun mama contacted me a few weeks ago about doing a shoot at the beach near her house, and, even cooler, she found a friend who was interested in doing the same thing. This meant I was able to organize the two shoots as...
Grins and giggles at only 8 weeks old
Now this guy wants to introduce himself with a BANG! Isn't he perfect? 8 weeks old and already so full of fun personality and expressions. At a certain point, though, everybody gets frustrated with...
Twenty six month old piggy toes
These two beautiful ladies turned six months old last weekend! Look at their perfect little tushes and their gorgeous little bald spots :) Before I even get to the cute faces, I'm starting at the bottom. Gorgeous toes -...
Tuesday tip: Follow them
Go with it. Skip the posing for a while. Follow the children and great moments will just happen. You don't have to convince kids to be awesome, hilarious and adorable, they just are. And sometimes the mailman shows up. And...
