88 weeks old (a.k.a. 22 months)

So I first took pics of this little beauty when she was 8 weeks old. Then again when she was 8 months old. And then last week we did photos again, and she's 88 weeks old! Her parents are so good at this :) I hope we do it again before she turns 8!


We got to include her two older cousins in the shoot this time, and it was obvious how much she LOVES spending time with them:


We went walking to the park, and I looked down at O in her stroller, and she was holding hands with her cousin as she walked alongside! Had to snap it as a pic - isn't it so sweet?


Look at that headband and fantastic pointing finger:


And the headband again - this time with a killer pout:


Sweet girl on the playground:


I think it's possible this is the first time I've gotten the Zakim Bridge in the background of photo :)


The gorgeous cousins:


This next one is kind of Abbey Road-esque, but I love it.
Great to see you guys!

Family pics from StoryLand

So I'm taking a break from my regularly scheduled photoshoot blog to post a quick story/pics from our weekend trip to StoryLand with some wonderful friends. Their 14 month old Hayden had the best expressions...
#1:


#2:


and #3:


(Hehe, see what I mean?)
And last but not least, showing me his four teeth:

Even though they told me not to bring my camera so I wouldn't feel like I was working all weekend, I didn't listen - I had a chance to photograph my own kids for once... this time of year my girls are the cobbler's children... no photos, poor babies. ;) Had to jump at the chance. Here's my teenie Sadie, 4 1/2 months old and loving her own toes:


Grins from my girl:


Hayden, not sure what to make of Sadie:


And 4 year old Annie, giving Sadie a squeeze:


All the kiddos on a hotel bed:


And then at the very end of the weekend, as we headed to our cars, we stopped by a bush to grab a family shot - and Hayden was such a good model! We love you guys, thanks for a great weekend. And to my clients... tomorrow I'll be back to my regularly scheduled work!

Oh, but before I leave you, and lest you think I only shoot b&w on vacation... do not fear! I too, have a pocket-sized digital camera, and the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland at Storyland gave the grown-ups an opportunity to be total weirdos and do rabbit impressions. Nice, eh?

Mr. Independent at two

This handsome guy was thrilled to head off into his grandparents' back yard with me and show me around as soon as I walked in the door. It was so sweet, he was so independent right away! His parents stayed inside the kitchen door for a while, so this adorable guy and I could spend some time playing trains and taking eyelash pictures (can you guess which of us was doing which thing?)



But when they came outside to play, his parents and he had a great time playing together:

And check out that smile!


"My parents are SO funny." :)


Getting a spin on Mom's head:

And doing another kind of fun spinning:


And of course we had to get a few inside on the couch pictures - doesn't he look handsome in his dress-up sweater? So great to meet you guys!

It's been a year already?!

Look at this big handsome boy! I can't believe it's been a year already since we took his newborn pictures. I was newly pregnant with my Sadie at the shoot last year, and his sweet mom recommended I get a Kindle for those early weeks when new babies spend all their time sleeping on you - it's nice and light to hold in one hand... great suggestion! And I'm a gadget geek, so I was happy to have another reason to need one :)

But now look at this little guy - I love this as his parents tickle his toes...


And crawling across the bed, with a twinkle in his eye:


Playing with Mom's necklace:


I feel like this shot looks like he just caught sight of his buddy across the playground... such a big boy expression:


Happy with daddy:


With his pretty momma:

And a pensive gaze in the swing (poor munchkin was getting a bit tired toward the end of the shoot - but I have to admit I love this sweet quiet shot we grabbed at the end)...


Really great to see you guys!

Three big kiddos

Warning - I am about to post waaaay too many preview shots from this shoot. I can't help myself, because the last time I saw this family their two older children were just babies, and now they've added another beautiful girl, and even she is already getting big! So I had a wonderful time seeing them again, and editing their pictures is tons of fun for me... I just keep seeing snatches of the way they looked when they were just toddlers.

So this one is one of my faves - as the three of them share a huge jar of M&M's. You know how I feel about tootsies.


Don't they all have incredible eyes?


Mom and her little man:


Isn't the mischief just twinkling in his eyes?



A laugh with dad:


And the girls with their dad:


Sweet girl B:


The girls share a laugh with mom:


And here's big girl O, with the thickest, most incredible hair:

And then sitting nicely with mom:


These guys were so good at sitting together - just loads of fun.

A big one year old cutie

Look at the twinkle in this one's eyes! Isn't she good at clapping?


Not only good at clapping, but also at jumping :)


I love her little hands and feet together in this one, and her questioning expression:


Daddy giggles:


And hollering with mama:


Sometimes my grandest plans go awry; sometimes that's when a baby girl decides to squeeze her dad's glasses a little too hard - oops :)


The profile shot here is just one of my favorites! I love her little sweet expression and that perfect little tummy poking out.


It was such a pleasure to meet you guys, thanks for having me out!
