(Yikes, just noticed that this is my 400th blog post. Feels like yesterday I started doing this. Just last month I had my 900th shoot, and now the blog’s getting full of posts, too. Love it.)
This lovely lady is celebrating her First Communion next weekend, so she put her dress on for me the other day and we grabbed some photos. First, my #1 favorite shot with her sweet mama:
And this is kinda neat with her rosary beads:
A pretty profile:
And wait, you have to see this dress. The sash and the flowers at the bottom are this amazing lilac color… incredible.
Twinkley-eyed girl:
With her big brother:
This one’s storybook-level cute:
With her pop:
And as the twins’ big sister (by a year) we had to recreate a shot they’d done back when the twins were babies…
And last but not least, doesn’t Ms. A looks like a model here?

These sweet sisters sported some fantastic matching sailor dresses for their photoshoot last weekend, but in this shot I love how they match in so many other ways – the tilting heads, the smiling eyes, the shape of their mouths… incredible likeness.
Big sister M played on the swings – love the eyelashes here:
A pretty smile before jumping to Daddy:
Unbridled joy as she climbs her favorite part of the swingset:
Big sister M kept leaning over to whisper in little sister J’s ear – I loved their connection, so amazing to see :)
Peek-a-boo!
With their mama and daddy looking on:
Love the light reflecting in J’s face here, as her hair blows in the wind:
Wonderful to see you guys again, thanks for having me out!

Nothing beats a mom and her baby shot, in my mind. Nothing.
Do you believe big brother C with his little 10 week old brother here? They see us pinching those sweet cheeks all the time, it’s hard for them not to do it, too. Luckily little C doesn’t seem to mind.
And when you have the coolest mobile in the world in your room, sometimes you just want to gaze up at it together:
Taking some time with bro’s toes:
A belly tickle:
And the adoration here, as little C stares at big C…. Not to mention the eyelashes! Fantastic.
A mama snuggle/attack:
Big boy holding up his head! Done with tummy time for today, thank you very much.
Three generations together:
Grandma and her boys:
Love this fat little hand shot, grabbed it as he snoozed at the end of the shoot…

Phewf! My 13th and final shoot of the April 11th Public Garden charity fundraiser mini-shoot day was with these two cuties.
First of all I have to just say that little brother T in the background here looks so much like his dad (whom I’ve known for 20+ yrs) that it’s eerie! And T’s adoration of big bro F as he dives for a runaway bubble in this shot makes me happy – so very sweet.
And a shot from behind, always adorable. Think the Janie & Jack clothing line needs any advertising shots (that’s the tag on the back of the shirts)?
This is the lollipopalooza I refer to in the title of this post. How incredible are, #1, F (on the left)’s eyelashes, and #2, these two gorgeous boys and their smiling, lollipopped faces?
A quick grandma shot at the end of the session:
And lastly, a mama tackle.

For these guys I have to start with one of the last shots we got – the kids doing their “ROCK AND ROLL!” pose, making their parents crack up even though they can’t see them…
And then go to the other end of the mood spectrum and show you this one… as the pond twinkles and big sister L tosses some food to the ducks. Isn’t the shape of her hand as it comes down from the toss beautiful here? That and her right toe, up a bit in the back?
Just one more crazy family pic, because I love them:
And a bunny ears classic:
Mama and her baby boy, looking lovely by the pond:
And last of all, a great shot of the whole crew in the willow tree. Great to see you guys again!

These guys were in the 11th spot of the day on my charity fundraiser Public Garden family mini-shoot day, and they were incredible. It was fun for me to meet a new family – and these two kids have such a great time together. That and the sun peeking through the 3pm trees here is awesome:
Aren’t they a good looking crew?
Tickling the neck:
And I love love this one of dad and his big boy:
Such wonderful grins here, and mom and dad in the background here are the best.

I’ve been taking pictures of these guys since big brother G was only six months old, so it was fun to meet them in a new spot (the Boston Public Garden on 4/11 for my all-day charity mini-shoot day). Look at these perfect grins:
Dimpled, smiling boy:
Giggly sweet girl:
And last of all, a non-traditional shot of the two kiddos as they look at me quizzically – don’t they both seem so wise here? Wonderful as always to see you guys! Thanks for coming out.

These two were insanely good at playing together and being subjects of awesome pictures. So good that at one point I had to pose them as uncooperative subjects. This picture seemed so unlike them, but it still kinda cracks me up.
They came with their mom for a 20 minute mini-session in the Public Garden on 4/11, and Mom asked me to just take pictures of the boys. We slipped her into one shot at the end, though, you’ll see :)
Jumping together:
Their expressions here as they play with the bubbles are perfect – little T’s (on the right) lips out in a funny pout:
And a classic cutie shot:
And last, the sweetest mama hug.

I know the classic family shot has everybody looking at the camera and smiling, but sometimes there’s a different kind of photo that steals my heart. This is one of them – of my 1pm family from the Public Garden mini session on the 11th. LOVE each and every one of these expressions.
But the classic shot has something going for it, too… Even baby K has a sweet smirk in this one:
A toss in the air from Dad:
And this next one needs to be printed big. It tells such a story, places these girls in time, at a particular age… They’re growing up so fast (maybe I’m projecting – my girls are the same age difference, and my girls are growing up too fast!), and I love this as mom and dad look lovingly at their ladies.

So these guys decided to just do kid pictures at their 11:30am Public Garden mini-session on the 11th – and the kids had a great time together. I love little sister N giggling at her brothers’ antics here:
Aren’t they a handsome crew?
Yup. Still adorable, crazy faces and all.
Zip!
Loved seeing you guys – so glad you made it!

I so often find that the first shot I take is a real keeper, something neat… but even more often, it’s the last one. Here’s an example of a last shot that I love, love, love. These three finished up their family photoshoot and headed to the water to peek at what was going on down there.
This one was one of the first few – see? Another keeper.
Or this one…? ;)
Now Mom and Dad in this family set me a challenge – something I don’t think I’ve been asked to do before. They have bunches of photos of their kids together, but not many of the two of them, and even fewer of the two of them highlighted in a photo where their kids are also part of the shot. So we had our shoot’s goal: a shot of mom and dad where the parents are highlighted, but the kids are in it, in the background almost… I like this one, with their sweet hairbows…
Or this one – with a giggly foursome in the background. You guys are adorable!

This was my fourth mini-shoot on the 11th in the Public Garden – and these three were awesome. Don’t you adore 3 year old L’s expression as he races his big brother and sister?
If you look quickly, this one almost looks like these guys are wading in the pond, doesn’t it? I don’t think their smiles would be quite so relaxed if they were. It was 10:30am and there was still a bit of a chill in the air :)
Three cuties in a tree:
Cool dude, borrowing dad’s shades.
They genuinely had fun together, even when their sister squeezed them tight:
It was such fun seeing you guys, thanks for coming out for pictures, and thanks for supporting Ashmont Nursery School.

Can I really post to my blog from my phone? We shall see.
Just got back from a wonderful week in SF visiting family. You know you love your family when it still constitutes a wonderful trip even though it included two trips to the emergency room (all is fine, my almost 1yr old’s scary fever is no longer scary) and a last minute (seriously, as we took the exit for “departures” at SFO) car barf…
But all that is neither here nor there. For now, here’s my third family pic in the annual (take one pic of the whole fam each month) project. Not sure how this one’ll look – had a friend snap it with my phone. I know, I know, I’m a consummate pro.
;)
How are you guys doing with this? Anybody else making the attempt out there?
This Daddy and I have known each other for… oh no, seriously? (as I count on my fingers) this can’t be right. 23 years? What am I, filing for social security or something? Well, we’ve been friends since middle school, and now he has a gaggle (well, three) beautiful, awesome girls making up his family. This one’s my favorite, as the girls begin a chicken fight, unbeknownst to their parents…
They were my 10am family for the Public Garden shoot a few weekends ago, and I love the family shots we got.
This one should be printed huge and hung in the front hall or something…
Swing!
Handsome crew:
It was great to see you guys as always, thanks for the fun shoot!

This marks the first of a dozen or so Public Garden sessions from last weekend that I’ll be blogging over the next couple of weeks. Sunday was such an incredible day for photos, I had such a great time getting photos of all these families playing together in the gorgeous Garden. This first mama and her daughter met me bright and early, at 9am, and the Garden was relatively deserted. It was also still a bit chilly, but they were troopers. I love this, by the water:
Beautiful big girl R, complete with funky flower headband:
Mama and her sweet on the Make Way for Ducklings statue together:
A little running around, Hancock tower in the background:
Flying in the air:
A girlie hug:
And lastly, some giggles by the gorgeous flowers. Wonderful to see you guys!
