Here's A, giving herself a little cool-off...

And the handsome Mr. A:

And this cracked me up. I was trying to get a picture with the lollipops out of their mouths, so I said - "Put your lollies in the air!", but Miss A heard "Put your lollies in your hair!" Luckily their parents are the best sports ever and they got a big laugh out of the sticky mess that ensued. Sorry guys! Adorable pictures, sorry about the snarls. The rest of the pics will be ready by the end of the week.

Four cousins and a hose

I am such a huge fan of the perfect belly on 15 month old E on the right... also his "I'm not so sure about this hose thing" face:

Here are the four cousins in a nice row, from left to right, A, who's 15 months old, E, who's almost 2, and then A, who's 5 years old and last but not least, M, who's 3 years old.

Don't they make a handsome group?

Cheerios and giggles

Meet beautiful little 16 month old S. It was ten days ago now that I took her pictures, and her family's been very patient! A sweet little this little clasped hand one:

Mommy was playing a game with the curtain here:

And when we had a bit of a meltdown towards the end of the shoot, the magic of Cheerios saved the day:

What a little lady! She has such a great expression in this one, as she daintily takes another Cheerio.

Thanks for a great photoshoot, the rest of your photos will be ready ASAP.

12 hours old

I have to start by saying I'm sorry to the six families who are waiting for their photos to be posted right now - but I had to jump the line for this little guy. He was born this morning, and because his parents are our very best family friends, after we visited them in the hospital I needed to blog his pictures right away.

This is the first time (since my own little munchkin) that I've photographed anyone who was mere hours old, instead of days. And he truly is just perfect. I am in love already - as are his wonderful mom and dad:

A little toe kiss:

He's already got a personality:

Counting ten perfect fingers and toes:

Some daddy time (with mommy in the background):

This is my husband holding the little guy, with his best friend (and new dad) looking on. Could they ever have imagined this when they were taking baths together at age 2 and 4?

Getting a mommy kiss:

And last but not least, the whole family's hands. It was an honor to meet you tonight, little guy. xox

Two handsome boys

I've been taking pictures of J and L since J was just a chubby bald baby - now he's such a big boy! I love this sweet moment with the two of them. It's not often that you can get a two year old and a four year old to relax together, but when it works, it really works.

Often times I get a chance to capture kids with their beloved nannies - this was one of those times. Dad was a big help making crazy faces behind me for this one, can you tell?

We got a zillion photos of this fun family being crazy and laughing, but the few quiet ones like this were so different and cool... I love it. You'd never know mom is expecting her third boy this fall!

Behind one of dad's favorite plants:

And at the end of the shoot, a jump in the pool was necessary. The rest of your photos will be ready ASAP, guys!

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:

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

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

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!

And speaking of pretty girls:

Can you believe the light light blue eyes?

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!)

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?

A cutie, plus a few ouchies

I met this 8 month old beauty when she was 8 weeks old, and she's come a long way since then! These photos are from a little over two weeks ago now - so thanks for your patience, guys. Obviously the girlie is still gorgeous:

But she's gotten some teeth -- ouch:

Getting an outside giggle (with Long Wharf in the background):

And some of her expressions (OK, all of them) were fantastic.

Devouring his books

7 and 1/2 month old C loved reading his "Where the Wild Things Are" book so much that he literally devoured it during his photoshoot:

Love the belly:

And on the edge of the tub, enjoying a soft tub toy:

And of course some mushed food:

And some of it ended up on his face:
