Tag Archives: catching some air
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.

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!

I’ve bumped these guys to the top of my queue because Dad is about to go out of town and he needs to bring some pictures of his little guy and his pretty lady with him when he leaves. So they were actually my 2nd shoot of the day last Sunday when I had a day of 13 twenty minute mini-shoots, there was still a cool breeze in the air.
Big boy M had fun on the ducks first…
BTW, side note – I was wondering this as I watched the ducks statues over the course of the day… do you think they’re the most photographed landmark in Boston? I think they very well might be. There are very few minutes of daylight when they’re not being photographed with someone sitting on top of them… (from adult men in their suits to cutie toddlers like little M). Can anyone think of a local landmark that gets more shutter clicks each day?
Sorry, back to business…
These cute teeth kill me:
Flying…
Handsome and beauty, together:
Staring out over the water… Isn’t the tush perfect?
A minute at the end, a sweet mama cuddle.
Poke!

When 4 year old C ran at top speed to the top of these stairs at the Bunker Hill Monument last Saturday, I followed behind as quickly as I could (even after doing Aaron Washburn’s Dorchester Boot Camp all week… sore legs and all – I ran after him because the fun and zany mood C was in made me think there might be some photo awesomeness to be had…)
And I was right. I am just giggling so hard over this super-fast moment that happened when C reached the top of the stairs.
I loved going back and seeing this family after a couple of year hiatus. The last time I saw C he was one year old, and they lived in Back Bay. Now these guys call Charlestown home, and this ticklefest occurred in their great little yard before we headed over to the Monument. Don’t Mom and big brother C look really alike in the eyes as they laugh?
Closeup of the boys together, with their matching grins.
One of big bro C:
And one of little brother N, giggling outside when we reached Monument Square.
There’s lots going on in this one, and I love the story it tells. N on Mom’s shoulders isn’t so sure about this experience, Mom looks pretty as can be, and if you squint you can see Dad coming up the hill behind them, with big C slung over his shoulder.
Some hugs with dad and C:
A toss with the Monument behind them, flying boy and all:
It was really fun to see you guys again – thanks for calling!

These guys were in the 11th spot of the day on my charity fundraiser Public Garden family mini-shoot day, and they were incredible. It was fun for me to meet a new family – and these two kids have such a great time together. That and the sun peeking through the 3pm trees here is awesome:
Aren’t they a good looking crew?
Tickling the neck:
And I love love this one of dad and his big boy:
Such wonderful grins here, and mom and dad in the background here are the best.

I’ve been taking pictures of these guys since big brother G was only six months old, so it was fun to meet them in a new spot (the Boston Public Garden on 4/11 for my all-day charity mini-shoot day). Look at these perfect grins:
Dimpled, smiling boy:
Giggly sweet girl:
And last of all, a non-traditional shot of the two kiddos as they look at me quizzically – don’t they both seem so wise here? Wonderful as always to see you guys! Thanks for coming out.

I know the classic family shot has everybody looking at the camera and smiling, but sometimes there’s a different kind of photo that steals my heart. This is one of them – of my 1pm family from the Public Garden mini session on the 11th. LOVE each and every one of these expressions.
But the classic shot has something going for it, too… Even baby K has a sweet smirk in this one:
A toss in the air from Dad:
And this next one needs to be printed big. It tells such a story, places these girls in time, at a particular age… They’re growing up so fast (maybe I’m projecting – my girls are the same age difference, and my girls are growing up too fast!), and I love this as mom and dad look lovingly at their ladies.

Patience is a virtue, they say, and these guys’ momma has it in spades! I promised her these photos days ago, and then life got in the way and here it is Friday. But I am so happy with these, I hope you guys are, too. After getting a chance to meet each of the boys for newborn pictures over the years, I was thrilled to get a chance to meet their new sister.
This first one is my favorite. I am in love with all the expressions!
And this next one makes me want to have a third child and get someone to take this picture of my family for me. I love the train book, and the hilarious look on sweet baby I’s face as she ignores her brother’s favorite book :)
Pretty girl and her momma:
Belly laughs:
And F has gotten so big all of a sudden, it’s amazing.
Gorgeous, gorgeous. Thanks again for your patience!

Lovely ladies running around together in the leaves – can’t beat it :)
And littlest girl A was so agreeable when the big girls decided to cover her in leaves:
Twinkley eyed girl:
Aren’t they gorgeous?
A toss in the air:
And a swing from mama:
Biggest sister C with her mama and a pinecone:
The girls are getting so tall!
Bye bye, sweets! Wonderful to see you guys.

I always have to hand it to families who go for the two under two thing – it is so much work, and though I’m sure the rewards are innumerable, I’m always just straight up impressed by them. This fun family was no different. Big sister M is 19 months old, and little bro A is 3 months old.
One of the things that made M happiest during the photoshoot was the stickers her dad was handing to her. So what’s sweeter than her giving them to her brother? All the cool kids wear stickers, don’tcha know? (She pulled this one off her own belly to give to him. True love.)
I love this one of A, with M in the background stickering herself:
They have the most gorgeous eyes, both of them:
A smooch for dad:
There were some tickles for everybody, but A saw right through it. He looks like he’s saying, “You know, I know what you’re doing over there…”
And we zipped outside for a few shots. Every dad/kid combo has a different tossing-child-in-the-air style, and these guys went for pure height. I love how much air she caught. She loved it too :) Looks almost like those sweet pointed toes are standing on Daddy’s hands up there:
And I love this mid-ball-toss moment. Keep your eye on the ball!
Silly faces with Mama:
And the toy we can all agree is awesome… the small ball:
And every day these guys wait on their front porch for Dad, so this is what he sees when he walks up from the train. This makes me smile. I loved getting to know you guys, thanks for having me out!

I love playing with your kids pictures. They’re the kind of photos that are worth hiring a photographer to take – because you really can’t take them yourself, no matter how skilled you are with the camera’s timer. These girls begged and begged for UNDERDOGS! until their fun parents relented:
And OK, ok, pictures of the kids themselves smiling are pretty great too…
One more swinging picture, sorry to have too many all at once – I just loved the toes in this one:
And baby girl L is getting so big! We got tons of giggly pictures of her too, but for some reason I love her pout here.
Toss ‘em in the air like you just don’t care!
I also love to look at the lines of eye contact in family photos… who’s looking at who…
My sister has the silliest tongue!
So fun to hang out with you guys and get pictures again – thanks for having me back!

Look at those chubby perfect legs! Sweet girl R was loving the walk we took around her North End neighborhood on a very hot day last weekend:
She had some fun flying in the air:
And inside, in the A/C, we read some books with mom:
And aren’t the lips perfect?
All throughout the photoshoot, R kept making this fantastic expression – as if to say, “Where is it?” or “What do you think?”… her hands outstretched and a questioning look in her eye:
And her dad the historian helped me when I erroneously said, “Oh, we should take a picture here with the Old North Church in the background, that’ll look neat”… and he kindly corrected me… “Ah, that’s St. Stephen’s…” Oops :)
Either way, I still think this shot looks neat. And after living here my whole life and shooting innumerable families in the North End, you’d think I’d be able to get my landmarks straight. I think R was just too cute, I lost the ability to think straight!
Thanks for a great photoshoot, guys. Can’t wait to show you the rest of the pictures.

I went to college with both the mom and the dad in this family, and I was so excited to finally meet their three beautiful children last week. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to meet them! Here’s the gorgeous baby A with her pretty momma:
All three cutie pies together:
And I love this family moment – it’s so real and active. These guys had such energy… and I feel like this photo really shows it.
Here’s daddy with his baby girl:
And Daddy with his boys on the swings:
But give a hose to a three year old, and he WILL attack you.
No question a five year old will too. :) It was so fun seeing you guys! I loved our shoot and can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos.

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!

The last time I saw this sweet girl she was only 18 months old, and now she’s a big three year old girl. I love this giggling picture with her parents:
Doesn’t she have fantastic curls?
Every hairdo, sweet as can be.
I love the way the light catches the plant growing on the side of this next shot. Can you tell I spend my weekends taking photographs and not gardening? I never know what plants are called! Nothing this beautiful grows in my yard at home :)
Pushing the hammock:
Getting a lift from her dad:
And then a lift from mom, too. Isn’t it neat the way the sunlight frames her face here, and makes her so obviously the focus of all our attention?
I loved spending time with you guys yesterday, thanks again for having me out. Have a great rest of your summer!
