Basket of goodness

I almost didn't notlice little O when I walked into the room where he was lying peacefully in his basket this morning. He's only 7 weeks old, and it's hard to tell in this picture, but he has the best hair - mom's little monchhichi :)

This is, "Mommy, I'm so sorry I kept you up so much last night." I think he's forgiven.

I just love those little fingers up in the air - not to mention the gorgeous eyes.

And as we finished up the pictures today, O graciously fell asleep - I think because he knew how adorable he was as he slept. He wanted to make sure we got a few snoozing shots. What a guy. Thanks for today, guys! I'll send you a link to all your pictures as soon as I can.

Another perfect newbie

So here's the last post from this spring's Jimmy Fund Studio Day - ten wonderful families brought their cuties in for studio photos (which I only do for charity a couple of times a year) and this is the last one for this spring. It's tiny J - absolutely adorable tootsies, first... can't lose with toes...

J had a grin to end all grins.

So I have to admit one of the things I love about teenie tiny newborns is their fantastic expressions - this one says to me "You know, you guys all look pretty funny dancing, but if I must... Raise the roof!"

And oh - wow - does anyone else just love this one the way I do? It's just so fun! Craning his little neck... adorable.

So thanks again to all my Jimmy Fund Studio Day families. We raised over $800 for the Jimmy Fund, and got lots of great photos doing it!

Three years of cuteness

Back in 2006, little J was just over a year old, and I got to come in and take some pictures to commemorate his birthday. Since then, I've been lucky enough to be able to come back and visit for each successive year.

In his first photoshoot, getting a sniff from some of Mom's roses:

Then here's the big boy at 2 years old in 2007:

And one more from last year. I just love this quiet moment, and J's splayed out fingers...

And now I got to spend Tuesday morning with J - he's a fabulously active three year old now, so we got some really fun action shots.

Playing with Mom - I love the motion in this photo... as if they're both flying out of the two sides of the frame because they're having so much fun.

And my favorite - kids and water! I love taking pictures while kids play in water... it's such a universal favorite among little guys.

And then last but not least - quiet time. Always important to capture.

9 week old cutie

So any parent knows those first weeks after the baby's born are exhausting and amazing, all at once. My last two Jimmy Fund Studio Day sessions were of these fantasticly adorable newborns, and here's #1 of 2. Do you believe this coy half-smile?

This is one of my favorites - I love those pursed lips and the pensive look on her face. She's got us figured out!

10012, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Teenie fingers... and her expression, so fascinated with my big light...

09988, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

It is exhausting being a star.

And peeking up at me, with mom helping on the head-holding front...

Twinkling eyes, every time

Here's another little one I've known since she was just a wee girlie. Her mom and I were in the same mom's group in Somerville when our girls were first born, so it's really fun for me to see how she grows every time I take her picture. Here she is at her first photoshoot with me, at my Sept '06 Jimmy Fund Studio Day...

I just love how fair her skin is, and how fantastic her blue eyes look with this adorable little blue smock dress:

And then that Halloween, I got to capture G dressed up as a leopard. Not many cuter leopards out there.

And then this Halloween ('07), I got to experience another of G's costumes... this time a ladybug, of course.

And now last week, at the 1:30pm appointment of my Jimmy Fund Studio Day, 2 1/2 year old G arrived, and yay - she was a pleasure. Isn't that grin killer?

9955, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

Do you believe her mom said she refuses to pose for pictures at home? Isn't it always the way? Put her in the lights in the studio, though, and she was hilarious!

9926c, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And I love all her different expressions. Ahhhhhh! :)

9937, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And this one needed to be color - those eyes with that pink dress... just so lovely.

Look-alike sibs

I met this little cutie in the spring of 2005 at one of my photoshoots at the Pottery Barn Kids store (yes, my backdrop, lights and I were all squished in there within the cute kids furniture), and his grin was just infectious.

And he didn't mind time on his tummy at all :)

Then last week, at my Jimmy Fund Studio Day (1pm appointment), I met his little sister. She was a fabulously chubby pleasure too!

Leg rolls, arm rolls... all the very best.

9859, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

I lurrrrve expressive baby eyebrows.

And little pointed toes, the wrinkle of folded skin around the wrist... sigh...

I love dimples

my Jimmy Fund Studio Day 11:30am appointment:

This little guy has three older brothers, but mom brought him in for my Jimmy Fund Studio day all by himself. I love this shot with mom's cool zebra shoes and her bright green shirt, not to mention the best rolls and squishy legs...

See what I mean about the dimples?

Next to dimples, I also just adore arm rolls. I guess I'm in the right line of work.

So proud of being able to hold up his own head :)

And last but not least, I just love all the skin textures in this one.

Fun with her new brother

So I've known little H since she was just a few weeks old - her mom and I met in a mom's group (our girls are almost the same age), and she came to my Jimmy Fund Studio Day last spring and gave me her gorgeous smile then:

And then she showed me her halloween costume this past October when she was just about 2 yrs old:

My Jimmy Fund Studio Day 11:00am appointment:

And now look at her. Isn't she adorable?

9563, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And this time she introduced me to her perfect-cheeked little brother:

9556, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

They even got some cuddles in.

And baby brother got to show me his Red Sox pride. Love it!

Fall in March?

This fun family and I had the best time playing outside on Wednesday - they were tossing leaves around and playing with bubbles... and yes, it's March... very weird weather day. But we'll take it! These guys were super fun (as mom's brother was just a few weeks ago), (and as her wonderful sister, who started the whole family thing, has been over many years of photos), and I can't wait to keep working on the photos.

9544, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

All three girls and their bubbles. I love little K's pursed lips in this one:

9494, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And I had to show you this tickle-fest moment... couldn't resist.

9236, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And the big sister, the beautiful miss K... she turned to me here, and gave me her winning smile. A heartbreaker in the making!

9503, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And the middle sister, the beautiful miss C - enjoying her bubbles. I love her t-shirt in this one for some reason, and the way her arm is outstretched. The bubble is pretty fabulous too.

9465, originally uploaded by Boston Baby Photos.

And the littler miss K, also beautiful in her favorite dress ups. Can you just see how much fun she's having in her huge grin? I'll finish up these photos for you by the end of next week. We got tons of great ones, I can't wait to show you!
