Category Archives: insideWhat a loving big 2 1/2 year old brother!
He just loved playing with her:
I love the sun pattern on the pillow here, and her perfect rolls and hands clasped under her chin :)
Such a handsome dude:
Had to grab a pic of just mama and her munchkins:
Daddy and his big boy got some time to check out the trash truck…
And Mama got some sweet girl time:
Wonderful to see you guys in your new (ok, maybe not so new anymore…) place!

Beautiful pictures of a gorgeous family! You must be very happy with how great everyone looks! July 13, 2011 - 10:02 pm
Hello, I don’t know this family but I simple HAVE to say: That dress is gorgeous. Simply beautiful. I love my two boys but that dress is the kind of thing that makes me so grateful to have a little niece to spoil. Truly lovely dress. Oh and kids and pictures too ;) Everything is beautiful. Lauren It feels like it’s been a while since I took pictures of sisters (I’ve been in brothers mode for a few weeks), and I have to say I adored these guys last weekend. Even though it was a rainy New England spring day, we had loads of fun playing inside. Little sister O was born when big sister H was just a week shy of being 2 years old, so even though they’re not “two under two” anymore, they can still have membership in my elite club :) This one cracks me up to no end.
This next shot just hollers mama with her two sweethearts to me – as O goes up in the air and H rolls around on the couch. The energy in the whole picture is just so cool.
Don’t you love O’s hand on H’s cheek?
More energy…
Loved getting to know you guys!

Such great photos of two adorable girls! I’m sorry I missed seeing the girls in MA last week, but I loved looking at all their pictures. What a beautiful, happy family! June 20, 2011 - 12:08 pm
What beautiful little ladies! They are such fun! I can’t pick a favorite. They’re all wonderful. Thanks so much for sending them. Loved the pics with Mommy and Daddy involved. I just love my little Angels! June 20, 2011 - 6:53 pm
Beautiful pictures of beautiful sisters! I especially like the expressive close up shots!!!!! Thanks for sharing Kate. June 20, 2011 - 7:44 pm
Thank you for sharing! The girls are precious. Great pictures! June 21, 2011 - 7:35 pm
Pictures are great and so natural. two beauties June 23, 2011 - 7:57 am
Receives these photos just before fathers day. What a way to start the day! They are just so much fun to be around. Sometimes you just wish they would stay this young forever.We are so lucky to be part of such a beautiful family. July 6, 2011 - 12:22 pm
As a sister, I love sister pictures too. So adorable! July 6, 2011 - 12:22 pm
Two beautiful girls for two beautiful parents! July 6, 2011 - 12:22 pm
As a sister, I love sister pictures! These are so adorable. July 6, 2011 - 12:24 pm
How do you get both girls to take such great pictures! They are beautiful! July 6, 2011 - 2:20 pm
Beautiful pictures of two very beautiful little girls! July 6, 2011 - 4:16 pm
These are by far the two cutest little girls I’ve ever seen! July 6, 2011 - 4:41 pm
Oh, my! As the mother of two little girls, I have a soft spot for sister shots. The pic of O looking up at H as they are hugging is priceless. Your girls will love looking back at these pictures when they are older and fighting over who used up all the hairspray. July 7, 2011 - 12:55 pm
These are adorable – you’ve got some super-cute kids!! The one w/ Hannah crawling after Olivia is my fav. When I first arrived to see these two brothers last weekend, almost 3 month old Z was exhausted. But that meant we got this picture, which I am just in love with… (avoiding ending my sentence with a preposition by using ellipses… my middle school grammar teacher would be horrified)
But then when he perked up, big (almost 3 year old) brother J insisted on sharing his favorite Fire Truck book:
A few of just the big man first, as he concentrates 0n his car:
Leaping into a pile of pillows:
Or tossing a friend into the fray:
And now, introducing Z:
Daddy, look at ME :)
Great to see you guys again!

So many great shots, but the family picture is the winner. Can’t wait to receive your holiday cards! June 13, 2011 - 10:01 pm
Wow! Amazing pictures. Great family pictures. June 14, 2011 - 8:51 am
Beautiful photos of a beautiful family. I love that they are so natural and are of little ones doing what little ones do. Those are the moments that will make you smile when they are all grown up. June 14, 2011 - 11:25 pm
Wonderful photos of a wonderful family. I was smiling the whole time. Well done! July 11, 2011 - 3:33 pm
Beautiful pics!! And for me, of all the fantastic expressions, this one takes the cake – eyebrow raise/splayed fingers and extra arm/leg rolls and all :) But actually, the whole shoot was full of awesome expressions:
See what I mean?
But J seemed nonplussed when presented with Dad’s tongue…
But he was easily won over.
I just love this pensive profile:
WIth his lovely mama:
And then some knuckle dimples…
His mom’s necklace was his favorite:
It was wonderful to meet you guys, thanks so much for having me out! Share this on Facebook.

Great pics! Love baby J’s expressions. I mean, sometimes books are just so good, I know – I totally DEVOUR them too. For sweet 7 month old girl L, Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon is one of those books.
Isn’t she a beauty?
Shhh, daddy!
Love the tongue here :)
Great getting to know you guys! Share this on Facebook.
no comments When this little beauty’s mama emailed me about her photoshoot, she warned me that her daughter (and I’m quoting here) “has a ton, and I mean a ton, of hair ;)” I loved it. She’s gorgeous, and the hair is fabulous.
We started off with barrettes to tame it – that looked great too:
But at a certain point we just had to go for it :)
Those toes need a lick…
And I was JUST talking about Sophie the giraffe with someone recently – a universal fave:
Kind of her to lift her foot to leave a spot for the logo, don’t you think?
And I just love this mama girlie pic:
Wonderful to meet you guys, thanks for having me out! Share this on Facebook.
no comments We found him! The winner of every imaginable eyelash-length contest out there. And to think he lived here in Boston, all this time :) I loved getting to know little six month old R yesterday. Even though he’d kept his parents up all night the night before – he did wonderfully in his pictures! But don’t take my word for it…
His favorite place is his changing table – you can even catch sight of the eyelashes in this one ;)
Isn’t he handsome?
Hollering with Dad:
I love how his eyes twinkle in this one as he looks off at his mama.
And then there comes a time when… we’re done. But you did such a great job, R!

Did not think he could get any more adorable but he did. He is beautiful!! Charlotte April 12, 2011 - 6:34 pm
“From my eyes to yours Littl R” Little “R”, you came into our lives 5 months ago and from the very first second I laid eyes on you, you took my breath away. It is so hard to put in print the instant love we share with each other. I look in your eyes and you smile at me with a twinkle in your I eyes I know the love you have for me. The love I have for you is so overwhelming it brings out the tears of joy to my eyes. I love you more than words can say. April 12, 2011 - 6:45 pm
DEAR TENNILLE & RICHIE AND OF COURSE THE EYELASH KING, April 12, 2011 - 6:57 pm
WOW, what a handsome little boy!!! Can not wait to meet you soon! We love you and miss you. Love Larry, Samantha, Katelyn, Lyndsey, Molly & Brady… P.S. Congrats on the eyelash award. April 12, 2011 - 7:14 pm
I knew he would turn out to be a beautiful baby and happy. Can’t wait to see him again. I know I am going to have a lot of fun with him as I do with all my Grandchildren. I love the Black & white photos. Love Papa April 12, 2011 - 7:14 pm
Ubelievably beautiful like his his parents!! April 12, 2011 - 7:20 pm
He gets cuter every day !!!!!!!!!!!! April 13, 2011 - 6:05 am
I love these! You are such a beautiful family! I love the lashes. He is so precious. April 13, 2011 - 9:33 am
Jessica, you did an amazing job! Thank you so much for a beautiful session the picture came out fantastic. We love them! April 13, 2011 - 9:33 am
Baby R always looks so full of joy and happiness in every photo. must be because he has the best parents. he’s adorable!! April 13, 2011 - 9:42 am
Stunning!!!!! He is absolutely beautiful! His eyes are so amazing! May 4, 2011 - 12:58 pm
Great pics! Awesome job, Jessica! Irving Berlin said it, my mom and her three sisters joke about it… and these four reminded me of that quote so much. They were quick to giggle and enjoy each other – such a pleasure to be around.
The progression from this shot…
To this one cracks me up so much :)
I should take you down the line. #1:

Wonderful to meet you guys, thanks for having me out! Share this on Facebook.
no comments If memory serves (and Kristen, correct me if I’m wrong) in 1986, these cuties’ fun blonde mama and I were in a critically acclaimed elementary school production of Sound of Music together. Now it’s 25 (???!!!) years later and I got a chance to meet her fun blonde munchkins last weekend. It was wonderful from start to finish. Moments of crazy,
mixed with quiet…
Love this – check HIM out :)
LOVED seeing you again! Keep in touch :) Share this on Facebook.
no comments I’m back! After about six weeks of a blogging hiatus (so sorry to those 26 families from late November and December – I just couldn’t blog during that crazy season), the rush is over, and the calm, lovely January-March shoots begin. This is the quiet season for people like me. It’s too cold to take those tiny babies outside, and every year I have this nice quiet wintertime… one or two shoots a week to keep me busy, but not too many. I get lots of time to be a mom this time of year – and I have to admit I adore it. But when I do shoot, it’s creatively so much fun! Everybody’s relaxed, and we get to do things like explore cute new belly buttons…
And chew on noses :)
Three handsome boys! The eldest:
The middle:
And the babe:
Wonderful to meet you guys. Happy New Year! Share this on Facebook.

These pictures wonderful Jess, thanks so much! January 6, 2011 - 8:27 pm
These photos are fabulous — I love how they bring out all the love that these boys feel for each other and the fun they are having while being photographed! Beautiful facial shots — and great composition — They made my day!! January 6, 2011 - 8:42 pm
…VERY very sweet, lovely pictures! January 6, 2011 - 8:51 pm
I love them ALL! I especially love the one of Kieran getting Seann’s nose – adorable! I guess it’s easy to take great photos when you have such darling subjects. A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL family! :) January 6, 2011 - 9:06 pm
I have never seen pictures that capture so much emotion! January 6, 2011 - 9:08 pm
Love the one of Kieran biting Seann’s nose! That is great! Beautiful! January 6, 2011 - 9:53 pm
Beautiful pictures! The boys look so proud of their baby brother. January 6, 2011 - 10:01 pm
So so beautiful! The family looks awesome and the baby is just precious! God bless you all! I got a kiss from my black mini poodle tonight, I’d rather a baby lol look forward to catching up January 6, 2011 - 10:47 pm
These pictures are so wonderful. Braden is the most handsome and Riley’s personality was caught beautifully. And then there is Kieran…what a a scrumptious morsel. January 7, 2011 - 8:35 am
Fabulous photos! What a wonderful way to celebrate Kieran’s addition to the family! January 7, 2011 - 8:39 am
Beautiful photos that capture the wonder and joy that the boys share with their new baby brother. Excellent job! Brought tears to my eyes as I viewed the pictures. January 7, 2011 - 8:48 am
Impressive work by the photographer. Shading, positioning and direction of the subjects were outstanding! January 7, 2011 - 8:54 am
OMG – these are great pictures. The nose biting picture made me lol. The boys look so great and like they had fun doing the pictures. Quite a testamonial for the photographer. Thanks for sharing Michelle. January 10, 2011 - 9:05 am
These are FANTASTIC!! Candids are great and the boys look so handsome. And then there is the rose amongst the thorns…you look great, Michelle!! :) January 11, 2011 - 4:18 pm
Michelle, Love the pictures. The emotion that is captured is wonderful. Love the black and white as well…. Tomorrow would mark three weeks since I last posted on the blog – had to quick get this one up before we hit the 3 week mark, lest you think I’ve been resting on my laurels this summer. I’ve been lucky enough to take some time with my girls in the past few weeks. I’ve been shooting a bit, here and there as childcare allows… but I hoarded my own babies for a few weeks of relaxing at the pool, and when throughout the year my weekends are usually booked with photoshoots, over the past few weeks I even got to take time to do some rare weekend celebrating with grownups (35 birthdays, bridal showers, bachelorette parties)… But now for those here-and-there families who’ve been so patient waiting for their pictures. Over the next few days I am in final edits for six recent sessions. Here’s the first. Thanks for your patience, guys! Here’s my #1 most favorite, perfect one.
The girls.
And brotha.
Showing me a missing tooth.
Loving mama’s reading style.
I like all three interested in this one:
The funky turquoise bracelet here brings to mind mom’s own mom’s ring, from photos of hers from childhood. The idea makes me happy.
Hehe. Share this on Facebook.
no comments Got to come back and see these boys again last weekend, and the two older brothers had been joined by a third. This one of the three of them cracks me up – I feel like it tells such a story :)
We’ll start in the middle, with sweet brother A:
And littlest handsome brother C:
And last but not least, I love this one of big cool brother O:
And littlest brother C gets an upside-down ride from dad:
And a giggle with mom:
And even though big brother O is the oldest brother, I love how little he looks here, reading:
Thinking mama is hilarious:
And this is by far my favorite shot of the day – as the guys get going on their chocolate chip cookie dough, but are stymied by the hard chunks of unsoftened butter:
But it all turned out OK – the whole fam got in on the dough-nibbling action:
Wonderful to see you guys again! Share this on Facebook.
no comments I think Kathy (mom in this family) gets the prize for most patient waiting list family. She was on the waiting list for what felt like forever this fall, and kept trying to get appointments whenever I had a cancellation. She was always my 2nd or 3rd reply when I’d send out the “there’s a spot available” emails… always just barely missed it. And then when we had a shoot booked back in November, her boys got sick the night before… it just felt like it wasn’t in the cards this season. But then the stars aligned and I was able to shoot their family this past weekend. This tree shot is making me smile – looks like everyone’s giving a good holler: And when you’re the middle brother, your picture doesn’t often come first – but this one is killing me… And sweet baby B: Handsome big brother P – who seems to have grown up overnight. I’ve known him since he was a wee one, and oh my gosh: huge. Not to mention the best cowlick ever. Isn’t O’s expression (including dimple) as he looks over at P the best? Mom and her baby: Totally unprompted, O wanted to help give B his bottle. I love this as a wall hanging, big… tootsies! It was wonderful to see you guys again. Oh, and as I was headed to my next shoot, I had to jump out of the car and grab this shot. The road looked so incredible with the snow stuck to the tree branches as they made a little tunnel… no comments Mmmm – what’s better than a little yummy toe to nibble? Handsome 6 month old R is the same age as my Sadie :) Peering out the window over Dad’s shoulder: Getting some help from mom with the sitting up skills: And a perfect dimpled hand next to mama’s beautiful one (loving the rolls in the background): I love these two profiles together, and R’s toes straight up: Playing on the bed: “If only I could reach it… reach… stretch…” What a delight to meet you guys! Thanks for a great shoot. More to come! Share this on Facebook. 8 comments November 10, 2009 - 2:19 pm
so cute! November 10, 2009 - 2:20 pm
Awesome photos! Such a cute/happy little subject! November 10, 2009 - 2:37 pm
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. November 11, 2009 - 11:26 am
what a gorgeous family! November 13, 2009 - 7:23 pm
toes ARE delicious! November 29, 2009 - 5:01 pm
how am i supposed to pick from these great photos?!? November 29, 2009 - 5:01 pm
my nephew is the yummiest. :) November 29, 2009 - 5:02 pm
such a handsome little guy! These guys are 10 months old and full of energy! Their parents got a gift certificate a while back and decided to use it now, in time for the holidays. I wasn’t sure I could tell them apart, but after working on their pictures, I think I’ve got it now. Pretty proud of myself :) Knuckles with dimples are my very favorite. And they didn’t want to be shirtless. It was incredible to see how similar their upset times where… they were completely in sync. Tough for their hard working parents – but amazing to see. And the same position calmed both of them down. Isn’t it amazing? It was a treat meeting you all – thanks for having me! Share this on Facebook. no comments |
