This one is so cool – I love what they’re both doing with their hands :)
This is so sweet from behind.
So fun to get to meet you guys!

Love this of these two cuties:
High-five!
And in honor of Mama’s Day – two beautiful ladies:
Great to see you guys as always!
And how cool is this – I never have time to take pictures of families on the Swan Boats, but the shoot that I had scheduled just after these guys had to move to later in the day, so I had a half hour free after their shoot was done. So I got to follow them around the pond – love this one :)
no comments And my second mini-shoot day began on Saturday with GLORIOUS weather. I met up with eight more families – bringing the spring total in the Public Garden to 21 sessions – and each one was wonderful. Working with light like Saturday’s is a treat and a pleasure. As is this little guy:
Luckily he brought his hilarious daddy:
So much to see!
Peek-a-boo!
Wonderful to see you guys again!

Great, smiley pictures. Love the ducks! May 17, 2012 - 12:15 am
These photos are so precious! He’s becoming such a big boy! What a treasure! May 17, 2012 - 8:36 am
Great photographic technique and a wonderful subject. Just take the picture. Take it – scrapes, bruises and all. Because if you wait until they’re bruise and scrape free, you might miss something. And you know what? You might even like the unedited version of the picture better. You might like remembering what it looked like before you played on your computer in Photoshop and edited out all the injuries. Because this – this is the memory. (Then you can print the edited one for your mother…)
no comments So I know, I know, I market my whole business around black and white photography. I love it the most – I love the way it lets children’s personalities shine…
The way it lets light take charge in a photo and outline action in the coolest way…
Ok, I’ll get back to the black and white/color discussion in a minute, but first I should introduce these guys. You might recognize them from YEARS ago when I took pictures of little N inside her mama’s tummy. But now they’re headed to Beijing on a family adventure, and we needed to document their tree-climbing ways and their fun here in Massachusetts before they left.
And boy are they tree climbers!
And birdwatchers:
And ticklers:
Gigglers:
And joyful, wonderful fun people. Great to see you guys again. Have a fantastic adventure overseas!
And without further ado, I show you the reason that I shoot in color and show all the photos to my clients in both b&w and color. Because once in a while there’s a photo that just HAS to be in color. It has to be. It just HAS to be.
no comments OK, so I’m in love with the story these pictures tell. These two little guys are fabulous — wonderfully cuddly, fun, loving, sweet and altogether crazy! I’ll start off just introducing them to you… B on the left and A on the right. Can’t you already tell by their smiles and the twinkles in their eyes that they have energy percolating?
So this is what I mean by the stories the pictures tell. We start with the more posed, classic blocks picture:
And then we get the real-life moment – as every parent knows, what playing with blocks with two kids ultimately devolves into…
But they’re also just incredibly sweet, cuddly boys, loving good books with mama.
Bubble machines make FUN pictures :)
Wet hands make cool prints.
Wheee!!
But this one makes me giggle so much – Mom and Dad just having a moment of being amused/overwhelmed by the crazy energy of their fantastic boys:
You guys rock, thanks for a fun morning!
no comments So these two fabulous sisters live here in Boston and Rhode Island, respectively. And their parents don’t. So when Grandma and Papa came to town, they stayed in a nice hotel downtown – so we met there last Saturday morning and got loads of fantastic pictures. Here’s the whole crew, running down Boylston Street. Kind of amazing in a picture like this when all the faces are smiling – love it.
Then we settled on a bench on the Commonwealth Mall – I love the interactions in this picture, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents.
One fantastic sister and her family:
And the other fantastic sister and her family:
And then we spent some time on grandparent pictures – these melt my heart.
And I love this one of the sisters and their kiddos:
And the grandparents and their crazy grandchildren:
:)
Such fun to see you guys again!

We had so much fun, and the pictures turned out even better than I imagined! Thanks for such wonderful pics! May 15, 2012 - 9:52 am
What a beautiful family! May 15, 2012 - 11:39 am
These are beautiful! You are going to be so happy one day that you took the time to do this. Um, is there another cousin coming!?! Aaaaand, the last Public Garden mini-shoot from 4/28… When you do something silly off a bench in the Public Garden with five siblings – the majority of whom are teenagers – we have one chance. Can’t be crazy and embarrassing over and over the way you can with little guys. Luckily this one worked the first time!
What a gorgeous crew.
And these guys had the best plan – a whoopee cushion behind me. The BEST smiles :)
no comments Want some closeups of your little person, but can’t get him or her to sit still? Give ‘em some reading material – and whether they read it or “devour” it in a more literal sense, it’ll keep him or her in one place for a minute or two. Zoom in close – this is your chance for eyelash pictures!
no comments I can’t tell you how often, when attempting to get three kiddos to look in the same direction, I end up with photos like this. I ADORE this so much – it’s perfect.
The two year old twins…
And their big brother:
Run!
Loved seeing you guys again!
no comments These four kids have the best energy, I love taking pictures of them! So much running and jumping :) This all seven of them (pup included) jumping one deserves to be big somewhere. The shadows are my favorite part.
Wonderful to see you guys!
no comments Sister hands.
And those sisters giving the bro some love. We did this picture many years ago, when B was just a babe – and he was a little more accommodating then. ;)
Thought this was pretty cool how there are actually two stories being told in this picture… the kids noticing Mrs. Mallard coming to visit up close, and then on the far right of the photo there’s something I’ve never caught in a photo before – another photographer AND his subjects posing in front of the swan boats. Funny :)
So fun to see you guys as always :)
no comments Leap!
Love this next one so much…
Always good to document the antics too :)
See the swan boat in the background? So pretty.
Great to see you guys again!
no comments Catch me if you can! (love the tongue on big brother C) :)
What handsome dudes!
Little brother X:
And big brother C (do you believe the eyelashes on these guys?):
Feeding the ducks:
Wonderful to meet you guys! 1 comment May 5, 2012 - 7:37 am
Awesome pictures!!!!!!! Colin and Xavier are the handsomest little guys! First, my fave – love G’s big brother expression:
And then I’ll go back to the first frame of the shoot – doncha love when that happens?
Tickles!
Big almost 6 yr old boy!
And then the beauty, Ms. Birthday Girl – she’s THREE!
These guys have done so many shoots with me that in their twenty minutes we even had time to do parent headshots. Impressive, eh? A number of years ago this Mama launched the super-cool company Celadon Road (“dedicated to promoting greener, healthier and more socially responsible living by offering [their] customers the highest quality natural, eco-friendly products for their everyday needs”) and we had to update her headshot while we were in the beautiful public garden. Gorgeous!
Wonderful to see you guys!
