His sister M is a big girl of 3 now - incredible how fast the time has gone. The two of them always have such a fun time together. I love this one :<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3565619&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs178.snc3/20556_261425909225_6576804225_3565618_4282789_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />And getting a crack out of each other is the best:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3565619&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs198.snc3/20556_261425899225_6576804225_3565617_350009_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />In their fun new house they have this big bay window, so the kids gave me a little dance show and we played studio setup a bit.

They were both just balls of energy throughout the photoshoot last weekend - and this is my #1 favorite shot of the two of them. It's terrible of me, but it just cracks me up how J is hollering as he puts his full body weight on D's little hand, and D's expression is just so perfect.

She had such fun getting tossed around during our pictures last weekend, it was the best.<br /><br />This was my 8th photoshoot with little N - starting when she was a wee one of only 4 weeks old, through her six month pictures, her baptism, her 1 year old birthday party, and 2, 2 1/2, 3... and now she's such a big girl of 4! It was so wonderful to carry on a conversation with someone I've known for so long - and now all of a sudden she's so communicative, so seemingly grown-up. She is a delight, and I love when I get the chance to see her. <br /><br />OK, ok. Enough yammering - get to the pictures!<br /><br />This is my favorite, hands down. LOVE everyone's expressions, and the hand in the air is just the icing on the cake.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3480930&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs178.snc3/20556_241544674225_6576804225_3480937_3611440_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />How old are you now?

I was so happy to get to meet her this morning!<br /><br />Here she is with her big brother T, who was so sweet and loving with her:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3346955&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs236.snc3/22356_216328529225_6576804225_3346954_5942241_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />Such alert, beautiful eyes!<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3346955&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs216.snc3/22356_216328569225_6576804225_3346958_5230987_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And Daddy gave big brother T a lift on his shoulders:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3346955&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs216.snc3/22356_216328519225_6576804225_3346953_4607788_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />A little mommy/daddy/sweet girl time...

Location shooting with two kids in tow when it's 30 degrees out and you're losing the light. Well, actually, I don't know if funny is the right word. ;)<br /><br />Normally I'd never bring my own kids on a photoshoot (actually, I've never brought either of them before - not likely to be repeated), but this one was a quickie, for my friend Amy at <a href="http://www.chubbybum.com/">Chubbybum Cards</a>. She had this cool idea of getting photos of her kids putting money into a Salvation Army bucket, so that she could make a card for herself with a giving theme. But I had visions of the yucky Stop & Shop parking lot, without any light... crowded with people... so I tried to dissuade her. But then the other day I was walking out of Macy's at the South Shore Plaza and I looked across the parking lot at the setting sun and called her. "Amy! I found the perfect bucket with the light I want! Meet me here at 3:30pm tomorrow and we can get photos for your card!" (I may have said it with not quite so many exclamation marks in my voice.) So I zipped over to the Plaza after preschool pickup today and met Amy and her two gorgeous kiddos. You'd never know I had a 4 yr old wrapped around my leg and a wailing six month old in her stroller behind me as we shot this, right?<br /><br />Luckily it doesn't even matter - this shot makes me smile so much - the two guys walking into the frame in the back cracking up are the best part.<br /><img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_207611309225_6576804225_3310500_2815510_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /><br /><br />Can't wait to see what she comes up with for her card :)Boston Baby Photos, aka Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01966300320233689372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38214948.post-9453139288890395362009-12-12T22:06:00.006-05:002009-12-15T00:34:11.697-05:00Help-Portrait BostonWhat an incredible day! Fourteen other photographers and I came together today to take some pictures just to make people feel good. And look at that. It made us feel good too.<br /><br />The brainchild of celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart, <a href="http://www.help-portrait.com/">Help-Portrait</a> is "a community of photographers, coming together across the world, to use their photography skills to give back to their local community. On or around December 12th, photographers around the world will be grabbing their cameras, finding people in need, and taking their picture. When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered. Yep. It really is that easy."<br /><br />This Boston crew had an amazing shoot today at Germaine Lawrence, a residential treatment center for adolescent girls. We shot over 50 girls, aged 11-18, and though I don't want to put any of the girls' photos up here, here are a few I snapped of the crazy photographers and the setup there.<br /><br />We set up four "stations" in the gym:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3283154&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_201528279225_6576804225_3283153_3688138_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />And the best part was the group of volunteer hair and makeup people (thanks to <a href="http://www.empire.edu/warwick.html">Empire School of Beauty</a> in Warwick, RI) who came and did hair and makeup on all 50 girls! The aroma of hairspray wafted waaaaay down the hall :) But the girls really felt like rock stars. You could see it when they came for their photos - their eyes were twinkling.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3283155&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_201528284225_6576804225_3283154_1294755_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />Lisa grabbing some crazy shots of two of our fabulous volunteers (as we waited for hair and makeup on the girls... this stuff takes time, after all!):<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3283155&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs034.snc3/12131_201528324225_6576804225_3283159_6004450_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />See what I mean?

This team of people has been meeting and planning this event for months now, and I can't thank them enough for letting me join them after I wasn't able to attend ANY of the planning meetings.<br /><br />Great day, gorgeous photos - I'm so excited for the girls to get their prints (kindly donated by <a href="http://iprintfromhome.com/">iPrintfromhome.com</a>).

Before I get into themes and all that "I'm working on my homework for junior high" stuff, I have to show you my favorite shot from the session, which happened mere moments after I walked in the door. <br /><br />As she peeks over at me, doing her crinkle-nose smile:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968739225_6576804225_3276627_1917009_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />Where was I? Oh yes, themes. So the first theme that emerges was definitely this sweet girl's love of her monkey stuffed animal. Here she is, excited to see him as she crawls across the bed:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968799225_6576804225_3276633_2989883_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And this is my 2nd favorite shot from the day - as her dad and she enjoy a hug with monkey:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968809225_6576804225_3276634_3572532_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />For her birthday party, she donned this fantastic monkey hat (found by her cool mom on etsy.com... what a fun site!):<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs034.snc3/12131_199968744225_6576804225_3276628_1038490_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And the other theme that emerged, by far, was the extraordinary love of books and reading for this little one. Here she is, piled in amongst her Sandra Boynton (and other) books.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs034.snc3/12131_199968779225_6576804225_3276631_5613595_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Had to get a knuckle picture - the dimples kill me:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs034.snc3/12131_199968759225_6576804225_3276629_7020872_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Bright-eyed after her morning nap :)<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968774225_6576804225_3276630_4778801_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Reaching... reaching...<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968784225_6576804225_3276632_7703003_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />The Curious George balloon was no match for herself in the mirror:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs034.snc3/12131_199968829225_6576804225_3276635_6876897_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Reading another book with mama - loving those toes:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968849225_6576804225_3276637_5738429_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />It was wonderful spending some time with you guys, and fun to meet another Milton family!<br /><br />Share this on <a href="javascript:var%20d=document,f='http://www.facebook.com/share',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,p='.php?src=bm&v=4&i=1247716236&u='+e(l.href)+'&t='+e(d.title);1;try{if%20(!/^(.*\.)?facebook\.[^.]*$/.test(l.host))throw(0);share_internal_bookmarklet(p)}catch(z)%20{a=function()%20{if%20(!window.open(f+'r'+p,'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=626,height=436'))l.href=f+p};if%20(/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent))setTimeout(a,0);else{a()}}void(0)">Facebook</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3276628&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_199968839225_6576804225_3276636_917605_n.jpg" style="" /></a>Boston Baby Photos, aka Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01966300320233689372noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38214948.post-54517473494622349772009-12-10T14:13:00.002-05:002009-12-10T14:14:57.519-05:00Help-Portrait on SaturdayDo you like to take pictures?

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.<br /><br />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:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3258855&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_195271444225_6576804225_3258854_869556_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />And when you're the middle brother, your picture doesn't often come first - but this one is killing me...<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3258855&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_195271419225_6576804225_3258850_3577187_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And sweet baby B:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3258855&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_195271454225_6576804225_3258855_6306725_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Handsome big brother P - who seems to have grown up overnight.

It's just too gross out, and I know O will have a better time if we can go outside. We went back and forth, and his mom told me she had the tree up... and wanted to get some xmas cards done... we'd already rescheduled due to weather a bunch of times this fall... so we went for it.<br /><br />(By the way, what has been UP with our weekend weather this fall? Nuts!)<br /><br />So when I hear that someone has their tree up, I picture nice twinkley lights as a background, but not really that much of an impact on my ambient light for the photos. I was so excited when I saw their funky white artificial tree - complete with super lighting! Look at this - my top pic for their xmas card shot this year:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3250685&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_194417969225_6576804225_3250754_5323936_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />This handsome boy is four this year - his fourth photoshoot with me.

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.<br /><br />This first one is my favorite.

I did it from memory, because I'm too lazy to walk the seven steps to my daughter's bookcase and confirm it. But I think it's something like that. <br /><br />I met these guys in the Boston Public Garden last weekend for their pictures - they'd gotten a gift certificate for a shoot a while back, and they'd been patiently waiting on my waiting list for weeks and weeks. Finally they nabbed an open spot, and we lucked out with the weather. <br /><br />I had to post this picture first, even though we took it at the end of the session. Mom mentioned as we were packing up to leave that they had one of those classic Make Way for Ducklings frames, and wouldn't it be so great to get a picture of their Jack sitting on top of this duckling Jack? Big boy Jack wasn't so sure about that plan, but I actually prefer this one anyway, with him checking things out in the background with his dad :)<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3215553&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_190159174225_6576804225_3215562_1270769_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />And this is my #1, hands-down, no question favorite from the session.

Her grandma called me months ago, and told me all about little sweet H. Her cerebral palsy means that she sometimes has a tough time in new environments, so her grandma thought an in-home photoshoot would be a great holiday present for her mom and dad.<br /><br />What was wonderful to see was H and her grandma spending such nice time together... reading books is their favorite activity. H's eyes lit up as she looked through the books:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3210528&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_189585809225_6576804225_3210527_3086560_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />She did a great job holding her head up while they looked at books, too - pointing and recognizing her favorite sections of the books. This is really hard for her, and she did so well:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3210528&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_189585824225_6576804225_3210528_5684595_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />She took a break in the middle of the shoot to watch a bit of her favorite Mickey Mouse on TV, and I've found this with other children I've photographed who've spent a lot of time in the hospital - often for them, TV is almost a stimulant. It's really neat to see.

Almost before I could drop to my knees, toss the camera bag to the side of the room, lift the camera to my eye, these guys were just sitting together, being adorable.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_188801329225_6576804225_3203132_2820611_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br /><br />I love this - a big brother's smooch:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_188801334225_6576804225_3203133_2350340_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And of course, if Grandma and Grandpa are visiting when I'm there, we have to grab a multi-generational picture:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801344225_6576804225_3203135_7768204_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And a beloved aunt pic, too :)<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801349225_6576804225_3203136_5996488_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Thanks to our mild November weather, we even slipped outside for a few pictures with the little guy:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801374225_6576804225_3203140_7527978_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />The boys had some fun lying around, too:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801354225_6576804225_3203137_3235961_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />Here's my favorite one of big brother alone:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_188801369225_6576804225_3203139_7499410_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And sweet baby brother alone:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801379225_6576804225_3203141_4987602_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />This is such a sweet sleepy one, I love how quiet and close up it is:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801394225_6576804225_3203142_253425_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />It was great to meet you guys, thanks so much for having me!<br /><br />Share this on <a href="javascript:var%20d=document,f='http://www.facebook.com/share',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,p='.php?src=bm&v=4&i=1247716236&u='+e(l.href)+'&t='+e(d.title);1;try{if%20(!/^(.*\.)?facebook\.[^.]*$/.test(l.host))throw(0);share_internal_bookmarklet(p)}catch(z)%20{a=function()%20{if%20(!window.open(f+'r'+p,'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=626,height=436'))l.href=f+p};if%20(/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent))setTimeout(a,0);else{a()}}void(0)">Facebook</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3203133&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_188801339225_6576804225_3203134_4659874_n.jpg" style="" /></a>Boston Baby Photos, aka Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01966300320233689372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38214948.post-85545372141710964002009-11-25T13:03:00.002-05:002009-11-25T13:09:01.113-05:00Oh four, I know you wellI've been taking pictures of little Miss E since she was just one, and now she's a big girl of nearly four.

I knew when I saw her jumping around that we were going to have a great time taking pictures. Her mom had mentioned to me before the shoot that C is hard of hearing and therefore doesn't speak - but you would never know it when you play with her. She's just like any other three year old: crazy! :) Here she is on her tricycle, with a mischievous look in her eye:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3174173&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_185344099225_6576804225_3174172_2418861_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /></a><br />While we were still inside, C took me upstairs to her room and showed me her jewelry - I love this profile one of her:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3174173&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs014.snc3/12131_185344094225_6576804225_3174171_7841185_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />She and I played some games on her couch:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3174173&id=6576804225" id="myphotolink"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12131_185344079225_6576804225_3174169_1288710_n.jpg" style="" /></a><br /><br />And she was fascinated by my shiny lens.
