Loved seeing you guys!

Cindy thank you for thinking of me. i simply love seeing my dear sweet Chad again, he looks so happy and handsome. I got goose bumps looking at his beautiful family. Chad I would love to see you again,you were like part of our family, growning up with Michael, meeting at day care and being friends for all those years. I’m so glad to have these photo’s!!!Happy Thanksgiving to all..Love, Gloria

Handsome Boys. The pictures capture them beautifully.

Soooo embarrassing

There definitely comes a point when what I ask my clients to do shifts from “fun, quick and crazy” to “soooooo embarrassing”. When this happens depends on the kid, but in this case it happened for 7 year old Z about ten minutes into the shoot.  Makes her have the best expression here, though!

I think of it as a challenge, though.  ;)

The shadows here are so cool in the afternoon sun:

Fun to run around with you guys!

 

Fall Public Garden Mini-shoot #6

So much delight in each other.  The best.  Love love love to see these guys grow…

Squeeeeeeeze.

Beauteous.

Perfection in jumping, by G & H :)

Winging around with Dad #1:

And winging around with Dad #2:

Love seeing you guys as always!

Fall Public Garden Mini-shoot #5

Tickle torture, times four. Oh yes.

And my favorite part here is mama’s grin over her shoulder as all four zip past her.  Not to mention that the estrogen takes the race (Oh, fine, maybe it was a little bit set up… but still awesome)…

Love how R is about to clasp his hand over R’s face (to stem the tide of spit that had previously been coming out), and if only you could see this zoomed in close / the spit flying out of W’s mouth is obviously visible in front of J’s face.  Another awesome one.

One last silly one – Abbey Road?

Gorgeous, all of youse.

And we needed closeups of the youngest two, since it’d been a few years since our last shoot…

Delicious grin.

These four are just too fantastic.

Fall Public Garden Mini-shoot #4

Got to see these two lovelies for the second time this year.  I love how big sister is peering over to see what her little sister’s got here… (love this one… wish I had this kind of pic of me with my two girls)

Silly big sister – love the twinkle in her eye here:

And sweet little sister (and her incredible eyelashes):

“Hmm… what’s my sister got now…”

Hand tickles…

So fun to see you guys again :)

I mean, come on now, with the eyes… look at these gorgeous girls.

Fall Public Garden Mini-shoot #3

Now this guy…

…is a good sharer.  He had his one year old pictures just a few weeks ago, so he called up his cousin Z and asked her if she wanted to join him for his mini-shoot in the Public Garden last weekend.  She said, “Oh, cuz. Totally.”  Her mama and daddy joined her:

Love this up in the air with mama in the corner one:

Handsome as ever:

Jennie can always be counted on for the goofy faces :)

The generous C-man thought that since he’d shared his mini-shoot, that Z should understand that this meant he retained all rights to any and all balls/fun equipment to be used at said shoot.  Z wasn’t as into this idea.

They discussed it…  C even let Z inspect the ball.

And after these guys squeezed all the fun that they could out of the ball, they moved on to snack time.

“Um, C? Whatcha got in there? k’I have one?”

Really fun to see you guys and meet more family!  Thanks for a great mini-shoot :)

Proud Mama - October 12, 2011 - 2:50 pm

So excited to have these two together to remember always! :)

Norma Jean - October 12, 2011 - 2:54 pm

I can’t handle it!! adorable, love them!

liz r - October 12, 2011 - 3:03 pm

Loved them all – where was the guitar man?! XO, Mln C’s

Julie - October 19, 2011 - 9:41 am

These are wonderful! Love the captions!

Fall Public Garden Mini-shoot #2

It’s so exciting when I meet up with a family I haven’t seen in a while and poof, there’s another family member! Poof, look how lovely :)

And I am in love with this moment:

And a quick shift to a more energy-filled moment:

Even if C wasn’t really interested in posing, I love this anyway:

At least she loves hanging out for a quiet moment with her big brother and sister:

Wheee!

A’s face CRACKS me up here:

Loved seeing you guys again!

Erica Sweeney - October 11, 2011 - 10:36 pm

these are fantastic! the fact that the pics are taken in the Public Garden just make it all the more special

Fall Public Garden Mini-shoot #1

It’s that time of the year again!  We had a perfect day in the Boston Public Garden last Saturday (after only one rain reschedule), and twelve fantastic families came and met me for 20 minute minishoot appointments.  I’ve been taking pictures of these fantastic guys since biggest brother P was just a wee one, and many many times since then. My favorite moment, by far:

“I have the coolest brothers.”

-B

Replicating the wedding shot, Hancock Building in the back…

 

Loved seeing you guys.  Happy birthday, Kathy!

Sister support

It’s been a year since I saw these sweet girls, and I love what buddies they’ve become.

I’m just a sucker for sisters.

Lemme introduce the ladies – first, in calm moments. Big girl G, with her model-perfect hair.

And littler sister B, with eyelashes to beat the band:

Just gorgeous.

I feel like B is looking at me mischievously here, daring me to try to get a good picture of her family once she steps into the sunshine while her parents are in shadow.  She knows so much about lighting, that little one ;)

Big smiles!

Mama moments…

 

Wonderful fun, guys, thanks so much!

Melanie - September 30, 2011 - 7:10 am

Cuties from across the pond

I am loving this family shot – it’s hilarious and loud and loving all at once.

Met these two beauties last week during their visit to see their grandparents from overseas.  They had such fun playing by the pool:

Decorating the Budda:

And walking the pretty road near Nana’s:

We got some fun pics:

Some delicious ringlets/nana playtime:

And of course a bum by the pool.

We had a breakdown or two, of course, as is to be expected (and pretty fabulous to document anyway):

And a few quiet moments:

It was such a pleasure to meet you all – thanks for having me come visit!

The beach, and more

This one is hands-down my favorite from the whole shoot.  I love 16 month old C peeking through this tree at her dad.  You can even tell Dad is smiling from the bit of his cheek we see…

We had such fun at the beach near their house north of Boston:

And we still got to go enjoy some time at a little park up the hill…

You can’t NOT smile looking at this grin.  Dare you to try.

UP!

Really fun to see you guys again!

A swinging, sliding, happy boy

I say this every year, I know, but these guys make me so happy every time I have a shoot with them.  They just ooze love out of every pore – their (now 5! year old – can’t believe it, kindergartener) sweet boy is just an absolute inspiration.  As Kim (his mama) put it so eloquently on the contest page of my blog last year, as she described a photo from the 2010 shoot where Jack walked holding hands with his parents:

Our family has been through so much in Jack’s four years. I love this picture so much because it inspires me to believe that anything is possible, and makes me proud to be the parent of such a special child. There were times that we were told Jack may not make it through the night or to his next birthday, but we never gave up hope. This picture to me symbolizes how far we’ve come and that we have to remember that life is a journey that you take one step at a time.

Well they’ve taken lots of steps together this year, and Jack and his parents have tons to be proud of. Not the least of which is their huge, amazing love.

Daddy tickles:

Up in the air:

High-fiving mama:

Giving Rocky some kisses:

Loving Mickey Mouse Clubhouse:

And this is my favorite series of two pictures – Jack was obviously really worried about going down the slide, but his mama helped him… she knew he could do it, so she gave him support and helped him get started.

And at the bottom of the slide… a little proud smile peeked out.  So perfect.

But this guy loves NOTHING more than the swings.

Maybe partially because his parents are really fun.

But I know it’s so freeing to fly so high up there.

You guys inspire me every time I see you.  So happy for you.

Sara Burns - September 14, 2011 - 3:34 pm

I LOVE these pictures!! The picture of Jack kissing Rocky is adorable and your family photo at the end is absolutely perfect. Jack grew so much over the summer- I miss you guys!!

Bonnie Fahey - September 14, 2011 - 6:40 pm

Well, well well !!!!!
These are absolutely wonderful. There are not only beautiful b&w photos but they capture Jack and his family so poignantly and realistically no posing here. Thank you for these. Even though I see Jack and his mom every day these pictures have truly touched me and have made me see him thru another “lens.”

Kim Soper - September 14, 2011 - 7:26 pm

Another great set of photos to celebrate such an amazing little boy. Thanks so much from capturing his personality so perfectly this year. It’s going to be hard to pick a favorite.

Marie Meckley - September 14, 2011 - 8:22 pm

Great job once again Jessica! These are amazing shots of our special little family. The shots are a true depiction of a day in the life of our Jack. I have so many favorites this year!

Mary C. - September 18, 2011 - 8:39 pm

Wonderful pictures!I sure would have a hard time picking a favorite.

Beach giggles

Another shoot just moments before Hurricane Irene hit… and these two had such fun together!

Twinkley eyes!

Aren’t they perfect?

Wonderful to see you guys again.

Maria - September 6, 2011 - 9:07 pm

Gorgeous images. I am currently a part-time photography student at the BU Center for Digital Imaging Arts. You capture the kind of portraits I hope to capture.

Pre-Hurricane Irene beach shoot #1

Last Saturday, just hours before Hurricane Irene made her way up the coastline, I met up with this fantastic family at Crane’s Beach in Ipswich.  I tell you, if I could have ordered the weather for a beach photoshoot from a menu, I would have chosen exactly this day.  It was gorgeous there at 9am!

That, and they weren’t too hard on the eyes…

And there was FUN to be had…

Sometimes I just have to include one when mom looks just drop dead amazing – I love this!  Model much?

Handsome devil, and getting so big!

I love this.

And this.  I can see this big on a wall somewhere – so sweet.

Three cuties and the beach

I met these guys at the house before heading over to their neighborhood beach, and I am just in love with this first picture we got — how perfect??

But then we zipped over to the beach and got some great fun pictures by the water and the trees…

The big guys decided they were going to help little sister S get going on her walking.

They coached and coached as she pushed up, up, up…

And wahoo – she got to a standing position!  Walking… well, not in the grass today.  But standing like a champ!  And making her big sister and brother very proud :)

And don’t forget herself – making herself very proud too.

It was wonderful running around with you guys as always.

Thanks for the fun morning!
