Maternity Shoot-Kim and JT

I ran into Kim on the street near Davis Square and couldn’t resist approaching her. I was trying to think of an opening line, but I had never done this before. I decided against starting with “Hi there. You’re pregnant…long pause…Can I photograph you?” But sadly, what I did come up with wasn’t much better. Luckily, she took my business card and checked out my website. Obviously, she liked what we saw and we booked a session for a few days later!
Her and JT are a great and well traveled couple! It was nice to get to know them, and with there little one coming along in just a couple weeks, I am excited for them, and for me, as I hope to photograph them and the little one soon!
I have photographed a few parents who have been nervous parents (as I am sure I will be someday), but I think these two will be great parents! After all, they have had plenty of practice taking care of their energetic and friendly dogs for a while now!!

Family-Amanda, Annabelle, and Claire

It was such a beautiful day last week to meet Amanda and her two daughters, Annabelle and Claire. Both of her daughters provided different challenges. Annabelle was super shy and was anxious and a little upset when I first arrived. I tried to balance being approachable and engaging, and leaving her alone (sometimes even leaving the room entirely) so as to make her as comfortable as possible. From what her mother said, I did a pretty good job. She got to the point of smiling at me and even showed me her favorite lovie, Raoul. He is a super soft giraffe she has with her a lot of the time. So cute and soft! Claire was quite the opposite. She was full of energy and giggles, and at times was hard get a picture of her that wasn’t blurry because she just didn’t sit still much. Despite these challenges, it was just wonderful to spend the afternoon with all of them!!

Family Session–Elora, Doana, and David

It was a treat to meet Elora and her parents. Her bright, curious eyes were so beautiful! She is at the age that she is still trying to figure out what all her muscles do, especially in her face, and to watch her try to control them, and to figure out what in the heck her tongue is, anyway, frequently caused all of us to giggle throughout the session!

Virginia, Nicole, and David–Family Photos

I went to Nicole and David’s house for a two hour photo session to photograph them and their little one, Virginia. After a short while, Virginia became comfortable with me and got used to having her photo taken. Nicole and David relaxed, too, and got more engaged with playing with little Virginia than paying attention to having their photo taken. Nearly at the end of the session, I got on the floor to get some photos of Miss Virginia playing, and as soon as I was there, she came over to me, and started to climb on me! I am so glad that the little ones feel so comfortable with me!

Liam and Eli

I have photographed Liam and Eli several times over the years, and this was one of our most delightful shoots.

They are at the age of really relating to each other.

Previously, Eli was just too young for Liam to treat playtime as anything other than a chore.

This time, they were giggling with each other, building puzzles, and were able to mostly ignore me and be themselves.

It was a real treat!!!
