Three summers ago I met tiny little M on Nantucket, when my old friend Gabriel Frasca and his incredible wife Amanda Lydon invited me over the deck of Straight Wharf (their restaurant on the island). M was only 7 weeks old then:

Now she’s a big girl of 3 and a half, and she has a handsome little 1 1/2 year old brother. Nothing really beats being able to come back to families years later and see how kids grow. I know I say it over and over again, so forgive me, but it really is amazing.

This photoshoot was a present for their grandmother, so we got some fun playing-with-Nonna pictures, of course:

And getting the braids:

Some very special moments captured in a very special way… loved all of them! Can’t wait to see the finished products: Linda
Jess- the children are beautiful babies. Thank you.
I love “getting the braids” the most or maybe the “eskimo kiss. Perhaps, I like “family tickle” the most…
I love all of these pictures. They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with us.
The most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.
Wonderful capture of the spirit of the person and the moment.
Thanks for sharing.

I think Susan captured it . You can feel the love .
Cute pictures.
So adorable!
It looks like Henry would like to get a nose kiss from Nana too.
You can feel the joy and love in each picture. Brings tears of happiness to my eyes. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful family. Wonderful Nona!
Love, laughter, fun, joy and a great amount of tenderness, makes
life in this family a treasure. I think Marin is teaching Henry, “that
good clothes open all doors”. I’d love to be a fly on the wall listening
to the happiness.
