Such fun playing with these guys

It was fun to see these guys again - I've been taking pictures of them since big sister was the only one around, and I love seeing them every time.


Big boy playing on the playground:


And a big girl on the swings:


And mom and dad were very cooperative as they were covered in leaves by their cuties. Great to see you guys as always!

Curly girl and smiley boy

Fun backyard pictures with these guys:


Hanging around:


And don't you love these curls?


I love this expression:



What a big girl!


Great to see you guys as usual!

Some of my most long-running clients

I started taking pictures of these guys when big brother A was five months old. Now he's five years old! Time flies - and I just love this sweet windblown moment with his sister L:


Getting a squeeze from Mom:


And a toss in the air from Dad:


Here's big Mr. A:


And sweet girl L:


I just looked it up, this was our seventh shoot! So much fun as always. Can't wait for you to see all the pictures.

A brother's smooch

Isn't this such a sweet moment? What a good big brother:


Swinging with mom and dad:


And some giggles on the bed from sweet Miss S:


And big boy C swinging on his swingset:


And this just cracks me up. I love S's sweet little mouth here. Wonderful to meet you guys - your pictures are just about ready.

One girlie with a huge smile

I took pictures of this little sweetie's cousins last year, and got a chance to meet her (and her mom and her aunt) last week. We did a ton of great pictures of the three ladies together more posed, but as M escaped and ran away, this one was my favorite!


Tossing leaves in the air:


Swinging like superman:


And taking some time inside to color:


And even to take a break on her bed at the end of the shoot. We made friends - she wanted me to read her a book :) I loved meeting you guys, thanks for having me out.

Cousins who play together

I've taken pictures of both these guys before, but now I got to come back and see the cousins playing together.


I love this of S - she looks so wise, doesn't she? Like she's really got my number?


And B's mom suggested we take some pictures under these sweet leaves in his side yard, and boy was she right - I love the light under here:


Pretty girl climbing:


And handsome boy swinging:


And upside down with dad. It was great to see you all! Can't wait for you to see the rest of the photos.

Big girl with fabulous expressions

Little D's aunt gave her mom a gift certificate this photoshoot about a year ago when she was first born, and her mom saved it until last week. I got to spend some time playing with D in her room - where she went from the sweetest smile ever:


To, moments later, total breakdown. This is the BEST part of photographing toddlers - how hilarious (sorry D - not to laugh at your anguish!) it is when their moods change so uber-quickly. I'd love to see these two photos framed and hung together.


Being a big girl on mommy's knee:


And outside swinging in her beloved swing:


I love both their smiles in this one. Great to meet you guys - all your photos are just about ready!

Racing on the beach

3 1/2 year old R and his mom also met me on that Gloucester beach on Tuesday (I always love to book multiple shoots in one location when the location is far away from me), and we had fun running around on the sand all together:



Low tide, running to a cool little dock:



Digging with the best shovel ever:



Chasing seagulls:



And giggling:



So it's my farewell to summer photoshoots - the end of beach sessions for New England, probably... bring on the fall.  Yikes!  Happy Labor Day weekend, everybody.  This shot seemed fitting as a farewell.

R, it was great to see you again, and I hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your day at the beach.

Swinging their sister

2 1/2 year old M loved it when her big brothers swung her - they got kind of a kick out of it, too:



The big girl by herself:



And with her big brother C:



Wonderful to see you guys again.  Enjoy those last few days of summer!

Three boys having a blast

These guys love their swingset:


But before we went outside, the bigger boys showed me their action poses:



I've been taking pictures of big brother K since he was just a little guy - look how big he is now:



Sweet middle brother N was a newborn when I first visited (he's a big boy of 4 now):



And G joined the team two years ago now - he's already so big!



Here are the three cuties on the couch:



And a last one on the hammock.  What's better than those giggles you get with your big brothers?  Not much.  Wonderful to see you guys!
