A sweet old pup and her darling boy

This mom and I have been emailing since 2007 about doing a shoot with her family and two dogs… I’m so glad we finally got to do it. Back in April when she booked this shoot, she was concerned about her older pup, Annie – worried that her cancer might get the better of her before we got a chance to take these pictures. But she made it! Sweet old pup – she gave lots of love to 2 year old big boy G:

And these guys had lots of fun together:

A shot with the whole gang, yay!

And a toss in the air from dad:

A classic shot of this sweet boy. Isn’t he handsome? I love the way the windowshades are reflecting the light behind him, too.

This is apparently the face G always makes when they get to this page of “How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?” (he’s imitating a dinosaur crying, of course) :)

And I had to include this one – I love his expression as he finds his favorite garbage man.
It was great to meet you guys and get a chance to take pictures of you all, thanks for everything!

Liz - June 29, 2009 - 12:15 pm

So cute! I love both Ryan and Sammy's expressions!

Six months old and just gorgeous

This kind of picture just makes me happy.  I love the splayed fingers, the toes, the eyelashes – and the perfect girl behind it all!  Even the belly button the bottom corner of the shot is great.

Knuckle dimples AND wrist rolls.  Yum!
7889 by you.

It was so fun to get to go back and see this big girl now.  We took pictures back in December when she was only five weeks old, and her mom was telling me that she lost all that long dark hair after the shoot.  It’s so amazing how they change! Look at her new head of hair here:
7796 by you.

So good at hanging out on her tummy:
7859 by you.

And more toes pictures, now that they’re getting bigger than they were when she was tiny…
7998 by you.

Doesn’t she look like she’s got something big to tell us?
7896 by you.

And a kiss from her sweet puppy dog :)  Wonderful to see you guys!

These are so great…we love them!
Thanks!

3 months old and what a grin

This sweet girl (with the best tush!) was doing such a good job holding her head up – look how much fun she’s having:
7218 by you.

And the other baby still loves giving Daddy kisses. I love the way M is looking up at her dad to see what he thinks of the licks:
7077 by you.

And a sweet quiet moment with mom:
6981 by you.

The delicate fingers on her belly are one of my favorite parts of this picture… that and the rolls on the ankles… and the sweet space between her big toe and the other toes on her feet.. OK, I guess I should stop – I do love this, though:
6989 by you.

And a pensive girl looking up as she gets some love from mom and dad:
7109 by you.

Three generations of girls:

There was a ton of love in this house! Love this cuddle. So wonderful to meet you guys – thanks for having me out!

We had snow, and cuteness – all at once

Gorgeous girl B is only ten months old, but she’s very sweet to her pup:
0580 by you.

Doesn’t she look like such a little angel here?
0494 by you.

Some mommy toe kisses:
0735 by you.

And can’t forget the fabulous hat!
0766 by you.

We actually had snow outside as we were shooting – it was a winter wonderland :)
0669 by you.

And even when you’re ten months old and perfect, there comes a time when the photos are done. I love this! Really great to meet you guys, thanks for a fun shoot.

All my favorites are pictures of all three? What?

So normally I like to choose individual shots of each of the kids, maybe one of all three together when we have a group of cuties in the pictures… but this time I have five favorites that all have all three of them in them. Crazy.
I love how the one thing in really crisp focus in this one is Monty – the pup in the back:
9400 by you.

These guys think their little sister is pretty hilarious:
9445 by you.

And it’s always good to dance:
9426 by you.

Here are the three of them inside relaxing in the windowseat:
9302 by you.

And of course we had to add the fourth baby to the shot :)
Great to see you guys again!

Due date buddy

Handsome little G’s mom and I share a due date for our #2′s. Looks like next year’s card picture will have a chubby little cutie in it!

Peekaboo with the fabulous tree behind him:

And when I say I’m a baby photographer – I mean all kinds of babies…

Wonderful to see you guys as always!

Four months and grinning with his bro

I love this moment with big 2 year old brother K and his new little brother. K’s eyelashes and hidden grin are so perfect, and B is getting a kick out of dad’s antics:
6745 by you.

Doesn’t he look so casual?
6887 by you.

Again, I’m a sucker for K’s eyelashes here:
6841 by you.

Two handsome boys:

Great to see you guys – even your pup cooperated! :)

Loved the one’s with the lab!

Big girl, five months later

I met beautiful G back when she was just four months old – and now she’s a big girl with a strong neck and fantastic expressions:
8621 by you.

Some smiles with dad:
8653 by you.

Love to see the sweet fingers splayed here:
8608 by you.

Having fun flying up in the air:

With her beloved pooch:

And I’m normally such a side lighting fan – but this light is just gorgeous, isn’t it? Don’t they look like a family of models? Wonderful to see you guys.

Two giggly cuties

I first met big sister A last winter when I took pictures of her and her brother T, when he was still in his mom’s belly. I love coming back to see new babies after maternity photoshoots – it’s the best. And seeing siblings having giggles together, just a few months out of the belly? Incredible.

Here’s handsome T, wrapped in Grandma’s special blanket:

Here’s beautiful A, after she just leapt down off the stairs. Don’t you love the mischief on her face?

And T’s huge beautiful eyes:
3996 by you.

My favorite toes picture is usually of new baby toes, but you know what else is perfect? Four year old girlie toes, with sweet pink nail polish. Incredible.

And T shares some smiles with Mom:

The whole fam, with big pup Bella. It was great to see you guys again! All the rest of your pictures will be done soon.

Grandma Barbara - October 11, 2008 - 11:56 am

I am Grandma Barbara, aka the Southern Grammy. Since I live so far away from my beautiful young grandchildren, I have been patiently waiting for some new picture. Fortunately right on our wedding anniversary, Grandma Catherine sent us some great photos in the mail. Those photos were the best 43rd anniversary gift I could have ever received. Now these photos come along and I am loving them. I am thrilled and forever thankful to God for the blessings he has given Mike and I.
Love to all.

Welcome to the world

Even 9 day old R’s big brother (the family lab) had to crowd in to say welcome to the world to the new little guy.

I love how his tiny feet are the same length as dad’s forefinger here:


8465, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And this session had a first for me – a belly button that came off while I was there! Very exciting. So here’s a before picture, with the belly button still attached…


8508, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And here’s one after. Pretty cool to be able to document that day!


8591, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

I definitely have a thing for yawning pictures. I love them. And the fingers in this one add so much. Love all the chins, too :)

All bundled up:

And the ever faithful pup, on watch. Doesn’t he look like he’s gonna take care of his new little brother, no matter what?

It was a pleasure meeting you guys – I hope the trip to visit your family was/is great. The rest of your photos will be ready by the weekend if not before.

A sweet elf about to fly away

Doesn’t G look like he’s just landed here on the ground and is playing in the water? We had a great time at this playground (the wings actually come from a bench just behind G as he played in the water).


7044, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

I’ve been taking pictures of this handsome guy since he was six months old – this is our fifth photoshoot – he’s now a big two year old boy! I don’t have time right now to go grab photos to show you how he’s changed over the years, but suffice it to say that he’s been perfectly adorable every time. Do you believe the eyes in this one?


6879, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

The whole fam (seated on one of those butterfly benches):


6942, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And big brother T needed his own closeup, of course:

That killer grin:

Feeding apples to a horse at the playground:

And for two years old, this guy has an amazing swing. He knows all the Red Sox players by heart, too. So fantastic. It was great seeing you guys a few weeks ago – all your photos are almost ready… I’ll email you when they’re finished. Thanks for a fun shoot!

Two pugs and a gorgeous girl

Do you believe how sweet this little 5 month old cutie’s hand is on her pup’s back? They were so good with her during the shoot… looking out the window together:


5755, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Even played a game of “pull my finger” with little K:


5664, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

I just adore K’s expression here, with her little hands clasped:


5646, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And you know you’re a mom when this “bomb’s away” moment makes you smile/cringe with the memory:


5628, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

K’s pretty mom did this funny thing with her hands that made for the best giggles!


5701, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And speaking of pretty girls:


5681, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Can you believe the light light blue eyes?


5622, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

As I was packing up the camera bag, after K had had her bottle and her mom put it down on the couch… I had to get just one more “baby” photo.

Doesn’t he look like he’s just finished an afternoon snack?

It was great meeting you guys a few weeks ago – your photos will be ready ASAP! (To other waiting families, I’m still running about 2 weeks behind on the blogging, sorry everybody!)


5765, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Oh, and P.S. – I forgot to mention that this family hired me because they’d seen this old photo of cutie M with her pug from years ago… Doncha just love pugs?

Overalls on a sweet boy

I went to business school with J’s beautiful mom – and I had a great time meeting her family a few weekends ago. (Yes, I’m a few weeks behind on the blog posts, sorry… took some time off around 4th of july.)

I love this sweet shot with their pup – and the fact that he’s licking dad right on the mouth cracks me up.


4719, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Here’s handsome J:


4537, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And I love this scrunched up nose face:

Playing with Mom:


4758, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Peekaboo!


4817, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And there’s just something about this one I love… it’s so tender… so sweet. The comparison of the two shoulders – just directly across from each other… but one is so tiny. Also just love the fat little fingers.


4652, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

It was great to see you guys – all your photos will be ready ASAP!

Father’s Day Smooch

I zipped over to 20 month old T’s new house yesterday afternoon to grab some quick Father’s Day pictures. This one’s my favorite:


1567, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Here’s my handsome friend T – you may recognize him from the Public Garden pictures from a few weeks ago. (Dad wasn’t there for those.) He gets more handsome every day, I think.


1499, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

I like this one a lot, too. T looks like he’s got trouble on his mind…

T with his furry friend Lincoln, both reaching for the coveted snack.

I love the shadows best in this:
