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!

 

Four sets of incredible eyes

I’ve adored documenting these guys as their family’s expanded over the years.  Now they’ve got these four sets of eyes that make for such incredible pictures!

Just the twins:

And in no particular order:

Warming up by the fire:

Loved seeing you guys.  And don’t hate me for posting this adorable shot of all six of you – even with hand placement as it is… I mean, these things happen.  They crack me up when they do – and sometimes I just have to post it to give you guys a giggle. Hehe.

Beautiful ladies growing up

It’s been many many years with these two beauties, and this year they seem really old at 9 and 7.  Gorgeous, poised, and mature little ladies :)

Wheeee

With their lovely mama:

Love it!!!

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.

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!

Georgie has such a wonderful smile that is only enhanced by her adorable wavy hair blowing in the wind! But I am particularly impressed with the family shots with the focus on Beatrix – priceless moments captured so beautifully!

Melanie - September 30, 2011 - 7:10 am

G+B are so adorable. Those smiles!

I wish my niece and nephew lived closer so they could get the Jessica treatment.

Wonderful photos!

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!

Sister squeezes

The last time I saw these guys, littlest sister T was just two weeks old!  Now look at them.  Three gorgeous girls – and such a treat to spend time with, they’re really fun. This was my last shoot of the day a couple of weekends ago as Hurricane Irene beat its way up the coast.  The rain was pouring outside, but there were lots of sunshiny smiles inside.

Jump!

Perfection.

 

I love how tightly these guys are holding on here. You guys made me really happy – thanks for a fun photoshoot!

Maria - September 8, 2011 - 10:39 pm

Gosh. Gorgeous pictures from a fellow photographer.

Another gorgeous girl joins the family

I met big girl T a few years ago when she was just a few weeks old, and her sister C joined the family just a week before our photoshoot,  so I got to do another newborn shoot with these guys.  Isn’t she beautiful?  This lovely lady even smiled :)

Her big sister T still wasn’t quite sure what to make of her…

Checking out the toes…

T got to do some fun jumping on the Rody…

Pointing out her ears…

Wonderful to see you guys again!

 

Sisters again!

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!

These are by far the two cutest little girls I’ve ever seen!

Kathleen - 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.

Karen - 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.

Sistery Valentines

I got to go see these two beauties a couple of weeks ago, but it was a big secret and I wasn’t allowed to post anything on here until now, because it was a present for their dad.

When big sister B was about little sister P’s age, we took a very similar shot of her nibbling on her dress. :)  The toes in the bottom corner are the best part of this one.

Ahh, the wrist rolls.

Smooching the toes.

Look at those eyelashes!

Mama and her girls.

Beautiful B.

Baby, you’re a FIREWORK!

So wonderful to see you guys!

Happy Smooch Day

I’m a big fan of kiddo smoochy pictures, so I had to get my girls doing it quick before they’re horrified and refuse to do this kind of thing for me.

Hope your day is filled with lots of kisses.

There were never such devoted sisters

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:

#2:

#3:

and #4:

Wonderful to meet you guys, thanks for having me out!

Big sister, little sister, smooch and poke

Big sister smooch pictures are my favorite.  Can we please do this one huge on a wall canvas for your bedroom or somewhere?  I adore it.  Look at that little ponytail curl!

Awww, my sister is so nice to me ;)

Except when she does this…

Lovely girls!  Wonderful to see you guys.  Thanks for having me out – I love love love new babies and their big siblings pictures, I can’t say it enough.

OMG they are sooooo precious!!!! Great Pics!

Pretty girls in the trees

OK, this is my favorite picture I’ve taken in a while.  LOVE it.

And this one matches one we took of these two girls about four or five years ago, with little sister E in focus in the front and big sister A in the background… I’m all for symmetry.

And even though we can’t see everybody’s faces clearly in this next shot, I just love the mom-ness of this moment.  Girls giggling with their mama.

Killer dance moves.

Loved seeing you guys – thanks for a great shoot as always.  These climbing trees were GORGEOUS for pictures, you were right!

Two grinning, talented sisters

Look at the huge grins on these two!

They played Heart and Soul like nobody’s business :)

Dancing with mama:

And now I’m afraid I’m going to show you too many of the running around crazy pictures, but I am just in love with them…

This next one’s actually one of my very favorites – hard to see their expressions here on the blog, but they’re perfect. I love the sun spots across the whole picture.
