Sweet Light -- Andover, MA Family Portrait Photographer

I always tell my clients that the best time of day to shoot is about and hour and a half before sunset. Some days it doesn't matter that much because the clouds are in the way, but when things are just right -- wow -- that end of day golden light is gorgeous.

Add to that this beautiful family and you get one amazing photo session! I loved how excited they were and how much fun the girls were to work with. From formal portrait shots, to casual and fun, we got it all!

A Visit From Grandma - Andover, MA Family Portrait Photographer

I love photographing Grandparents with their grandchildren so I was excited when I was invited to join this family for photographs while Grandma was visiting from England. We even got Surf, the dog, in on the fun!

Two beautiful girls and their Grandma.

This photo makes me laugh. Surf had to be picked up because he was a little too close to his electric fence!

A little more comfortable now that we were at a safe distance from the fence!

Baby Ella - Middleton, MA Portrait Photographer

Eight month old babies are generally pretty cute, but this little gal was SO adorable. Love her round face and happy smile. This is a great age to photograph a baby because they are sitting up and have little personalities of their own. We did Ella's photo session at home in her beautiful pink room and out by her pool one sunny morning last week. I'm looking forward to a beach portrait session with Ella and the rest of her family later this summer!

And this adorable baby has an adorable dog too. Meet Charlie.

He was seeking a little shade from the hot sun!

Fun Family Session in Boston - Andover, MA and Boston Family Photographer

This session was rescheduled due to heavy rain, and then we had to change location because of a huge event happening at our original spot, but it all worked out so great -- it was meant to be! Turned out to be a beautiful sunny afternoon in Boston's Christopher Columbus park on the waterfront.

I met up with these two and their mom (the portraits were a surprise for dad!) near the carousel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway and then we did our photo session in the park. Their mom warned me that I might get some "goofy" faces from her son, but I worked hard to make sure he genuinely had fun and that and his sister had plenty of time to just be kids. These are two really great and fun kids and I loved working with them both!

She is such a sweet kid!

I bet him that he couldn't keep a straight face for ten seconds.

OK, I can't resist a couple of the outakes. This guy was a ham!

This one just cracks me up. 

West Parish Garden Cemetery Sibling Photo Session - Andover, MA and Boston, MA Family Portrait Photography

I hadn't met this family before and when I walked up to meet them for our photo session, I was almost knocked over by this little girl's eyes! I think I may have gasped when I saw how huge and blue they are! And then I looked at her big brother who had the most beautiful green eyes! What a pair!

On top of being adorable they were such great kids to work with. They made my job easy and were totally willing to go along with whatever I suggested. I hope they enjoyed their trip to Bertucci's afterwards because they deserved a treat.

I LOVE the expressions in the first one!

All I said was "go sit on that bench", and this is what they did. So sweet.

I always try to make sure the kids have fun, and these lips and mustaches were a hit.
