When I arrived for my shoot with M and his little sister S last week, poor little M was exhausted. Turned out the time we’d planned on for our shoot was a time he’d just started napping a couple of days before, so the poor guy was a wreck for the beginning of the shoot. But there was no way to hide the cuteness of these two… even a tired big brother doesn’t do it :)
5 month old deliciousnness:
The sweetest expressions:
And look who warmed right up :)
I love this one, so pensive:
Pretty girl in her summer dress:
Peek-a-boo!
Flying!
The eyelashes here are my favorite:
And of course, investigating the water table together…

I just looked through this handful of my favorite shots from this session, and they reminded me of that expression “go big, or go home”. These adorable girls had big expressions for the whole session. Look first at these BIG smiles:
And everyone with big smiles here, too – except the pugs, who don’t, I guess, do “big”.
Now we did have one moment of the other kind of big… big wails:
But mere moments later (literally, I looked at the timestamp – this shot was 14 seconds after the above shot) – S was back to being thrilled by her dad’s playing…
And do you believe this grin?
The tongue’s the best part. Well, that and the dimple. Oh, and the thigh roll. Oh, ok, and the pug in the bottom corner. I guess I like this shot a little bit.
Sister time. :)

I was excited to hear that these guys had never had professional photos taken before – it’s so much fun to take someone’s first family photos. Aren’t these guys gorgeous?
Those eyes…
Tickles and hugs -
And they lived just steps from the Boston Public Garden, so we got to zip outside to get some fun family photos there:
Big handsome brother B insisted on this photo – he thought it was a great shot. ;) Agreed.
And in case you thought these guys didn’t look alike – look at these matching expressions!
It was great to meet you guys!

So I’ll admit I don’t know much about soccer, but I am sure there are soccer players out there who have signature moves, and whose signature moves started early, when they were really young. Big brother D and his little sister S loved kicking soccer balls around during their shoot, and my favorite part of it was S’s arm that shot to the sky every time she made a big kick. Here’s an action shot showing the move. I assume we’ll be using this photo when she’s a soccer star someday, proving she was doing this move in her early years.
Peering out at the squirrels:
And we have a bunch of pics of the two of them giggling and laughing, but I keep coming back to this one. I love their big gorgeous eyes and their calm togetherness:
D is an incredibly gentle, sweet big brother. This was not staged one bit – I was following these guys outside to play, and when they got to the stairs, D helped S step down. No joke. I like the shadow of their clasped hands on the stair.
I haven’t seen D since he was 18 months old – and look at him now. I love this grin.
These pigtails kill me.
Flying!
Mama and her munchkins. Father’s Day present much?
Another of those sweet, sweet, unstaged moments. Seriously? You’re legitimately going to high five, in the cutest way imaginable (in the best light imaginable)? Dimples and all.
So fun to see you guys again!

I don’t usually break from the work pics, but I had to share bathtime pics of my two girls from tonight, because they’re making me smile.
Do other families use that expression? Hot-sy tot-sy? To describe something really hot? OK… well, that was the day a couple of weeks ago when we shot these photos in the Boston Public Garden – it was a zillion degress out. But you’d never know it by looking at these cuties – they had such a great time together.
Twinkley-eyed boy!
Middle sister, sweet and lovely:
And I love this of oldest sister E – a little bit of mischief…
A pile of all three:
So fun to see you guys again, thanks for driving down to meet me!
And I love this chasing one – needs to be printed big and hung on a wall somewhere :)

Just kidding – not really a chicken fight. But so cute anyway :)
Mama and her handsome little man:
Dad tossing his sweet girl in the air. Don’t you love the way the light frames her here?
And then a girlie shot:
And one with the men of the house.
So excited to get to know you guys next year at ANS – thanks for a great shoot. And that’s all folks! The last of the spring charity 20 minute mini-sessions in the Boston Public Garden. 26 fantastic families, 26 awesome photoshoots. Hoping to slip one of these mini-session days into my September calendar this fall. Shoot me an email and I’ll add you to my monthly newsletter to be notified when the date is announced.

So if you’ve visited my blog before you know I have to have a really good reason to love a color photo. I am just a black & white fan… pretty much all the time. Kids, babies, black & white, it’s just my thing. So when these guys asked to sit in front of the purple (? don’t know what kind of?) flowers, I looked at them for their puffed shapes and how they’d make a nice backdrop with their tall stems… somehow forgetting to notice their gorgeous PURPLEness. Top that with a couple of redheads, five incredible outfits with wonderful colors, and these five amazingly well behaved sweet kiddos, and here I am, loving a color photo. Of course, I should mention that since last fall I’ve started showing my clients all the great shots from the session in both black & white and color after their shoot. People seem to dig having the option, and sometimes we end up with shots like this.
So in my note above it was only a passing mention, but when I said “well-behaved” – you don’t quite get what I mean, I don’t think. I’m serious. Like everybody listened, sat together… it was amazing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… the more children you add to the family, I swear the more well behaved they are. So I’m off to go get me some triplets to round out my two to a five. Actually… maybe I don’t have the energy for that, and I’ll have to leave this to amazing families like this one. But suffice it to say, I loved getting to know these guys.
Bubble fun:
Even more bubble fun:
Come get baby R!
Pigpile!
Great to meet you guys, thanks for being my penultimate Ashmont Nursery School fundraiser mini-session. You were the 25th family who took advantage of the 20 minute charity mini-shoots this spring over two days in the Public Garden. Very excited that I’m almost done editing them :) One more blog post to go!

The last time I saw this big girl Z she didn’t have hair, and now she has a gorgeous curly top of rings:
These guys all met me in the Boston Public Garden for my mini-shoot day. They were my 11th shoot of the day, and their priority for their 20 minute session was that they wanted a great family shot with all seven adults and one sweet one year old:
But I couldn’t just do that… had to get a few others. You know me. Here’s Z and grandma playing at the water fountain:
A big girl tickle with mom and dad:
And showing off her mad walking skills! So fun to see you guys, thanks for coming out and for supporting the Ashmont Nursery School charity day!

This is another pair of girlies I’ve been taking pictures of since they were teenie. Since before B was born – back when M was just a tiny bubble-blowing cutie…
And now here they are, girls having fun together. Something about B’s arm here is so perfect. Love.
And a classic by the tree:
All the expressions here are so great:
I like the sweetness of this sister moment:
Wonderful to see you guys again, I loved it.

Please don’t kill me for using this as my number one, super-amazing favorite picture from your whole session… I just adore adore adore it. It’s the milisecond before you guys all realized why I was laughing really hard at biggest brother K. So you’re all laughing at me laughing, except K, who’s being a mischievous devil and laughing because he knows why I’m laughing at him. Awesome. The frames just after this one are funny too, after I said – “Take your finger out of your nose!” :)
Three handsome boys. I’ve been taking pictures of these guys since middle brother N was a newborn little teenie tiny baby, and it pains me to see how big he, and all of them, are getting. I love it, but it kind of blows my mind every time.
And little sister E wandered around throughout the shoot – hilarious to try to grab her in the same frame with the boys:
Mama and her pile of boys:
Reacting to daddy’s funny tickles:
And as they headed off, after the shoot, they really did grab hands. Look at baby E looking up at N here – aDORable.

Last year we did photos in the Public Garden with these three cuties, because they live a bit outside of my normal travel area, and I love meeting families here (as you might be able to guess by the zillions of shoots I’m posting these days). And now here they are, a year later, cute and fun as can be. I love how relaxed and happy they look here:
Running around like crazy:
And baby L is becoming a big girl – with the best toothy grin here as she cuddles her blankie:
Big girl E as model-beautiful as ever:
And stylish Mr. S giving a great expression:
Squeeeeeeeze!

Just after my lunch on 5/23, I met these guys by the water in the Public Garden and tickling ensued…
Jumping, too.
More smiles…
Oh, and big sister wet willies… (don’t you love the dirty bum on X here?)
And we have all those classic smiley ones too, but I prefer ones like this :)
And this sweet pensive one. Wonderful to see you guys again after all these years!
