Six months old and such a cool boy

This cutie pie didn't stop smiling from the moment I walked in the door until I left - here he is in his cool collared shirt giggling at dad:


And I like this with mom and their pup in the background:


Those wonderful sucking-on-toes moments are some of my favorites:


I love this one in his room with his wall lettering:


Big smiling boy:


It was great to meet you guys - thank you for having me!

A year later, lighter hair and some amazing eyelashes

I met this big boy a year ago when he was just a few weeks old. Isn't he such a handsome boy?


Getting some tickles from his parents:


I love this outline against the window. That and his sweet little back...


Fantastic smile:


And we talked a lot about his tongue during the photoshoot. He was sticking it out and chewing on it so cutely... and here he is realizing what we're talking about:



And here, as his mom points it out, and his dad imitates him :)
Wonderful to see you guys again!

Cloth diapers and giggles

So I was a faithful cloth diaper-er with Annie when she was little (thanks in large part to my wonderful laundry-doing husband), and that was before Salina Gonzalez opened the amazing Diaper Lab shop in Somerville. If only they'd had their shop a few years earlier, I would have been a faithful customer... cloth diapers have come so far since the days of pins and plastic covers...

So, long story short, with my babe on the way I realized I needed to invest in some newborn-size cloth diapers (we used a service with Annie was tiny, and so we didn't own our first teenie diapers). I got in touch with Salina, and the rest is history! She and her husband have two cuties in diapers...


And they have fabulous, incredible energy. The rodeo hat on E here is my favorite:


Here's big girl S getting a tickle from mom:


And E, showing us how races start at his house:


And settling down for a bottle after pictures. Wonderful to get to meet your family!

Jess, what did you do today?

I had an incredible day today as Ashmont Nursery School's photographer - the kids were fantastic.  And of course my favorite pictures are the crazy-faced ones.  Had to do a little collage because they made me smile so much...

Thanks for a great day, guys!  All the photos will be ready by the end of next week.

Sweet, and just one month old

When I arrived at baby V's house yesterday I walked in the door and her poor mom and dad looked nervous. The poor pumpkin had been having a really tough couple of days - gas pain was making her cry almost inconsolably. It was about two months ago that I last saw them for their maternity photoshoot, and I think they were worried we wouldn't get great pictures if poor V was having a tough time. But I love the moments like this that we got:


And after some time bouncing on daddy's knee, I think V's belly felt better:


And a little snooze never hurts, too:


Then we tried a nice warm bath, which definitely did the trick (and made for super sweet pictures):


Because then the sweet girl seemed much better:


And even gave us some rare 4 week old smiles:


I loved getting a chance to meet V and see you guys, thanks so much for having me back. Can't wait to see her this summer when she even bigger!

Grinning cousins

These two cute cousins were born within a couple of weeks of each other, and are just too funny when they play together. C, on the right, loves attacking L, on the left. Looks like he might be going in for a smooch or a tackle just before this shot...


And here's big boy C by himself:


And pretty girl L alone - I love the toe grab here:


L and her momma:


C and his daddy:


C with both his parents (we were sad to miss L's dad - but a doctor's work is never done!) We'll get him next time.


For now we'll have to make do with some perfect toes. It was wonderful to meet you guys, thanks for having me!

Seven months later

Sweet H's first photoshoot was in the hospital when he was just twelve hours old. And now he's a big boy of seven months old, with a perfect grin:


Lifted high in the air by his mom:


I love this grin:


With his happy daddy:


Tush in the air, pensive expression... too perfect...


Really fun to watch these guys play with their boy:


And here's a sweet angel expression:


Learning the piano from his uber-musical dad: Great to spend time with you guys!

School vacation week

My 3 year old is home with me for the week, so I haven't gotten much real work done, but we had a wonderful playdate this morning with my college roommate and her nearly 2 year old son. Here she is, playing the pied piper (Annie LOVES her):


And the kids got along so well, dancing and playing. Of course they could barely remember other times when they played together, it was like making a new friend:


And fast friends they were. Don't they look related here?


Here's one of the handsome dude by himself. I can't believe he's going to be two next month:


And my pretty girl, nearly 3 and a half (and just a couple of months from becoming a big sister!):


And I love this with Mr. Potato Head's glasses :) Great to see you guys!

32 weeks along and gorgeous

This beautiful momma and her husband had me over to their house earlier this week, and we got some sweet pictures of her pretty belly:


It was such a pleasure to spend some time with you guys - I love this contemplative one:


There are so many more that I love from the session - I can't wait for you to look at them. And I can't wait to meet your sweet girl in April!

Six months old and grinning like crazy

I love this shot of this guy sitting on his mom's lap. Isn't he a handsome guy?


Love the fingers here, looks like he's trying to explain something hilarious to us:


Quizzical:


Getting a tickle from mom and dad:


And then I can't decide if I like the dad tossing J in the air picture better...


Or the mom one... They're both adorable. It was wonderful to meet you guys!
