Little Joshie (3.5 years), Sammy (1.5 years), Jacob (1 month old) + Linnea and Will :o)

I looooove this family! I wasn’t able to take too many photos of them as daddy is a busy photographer and had to run to an other shoot that day and mommy is Boston’s BEST wedding planner (you gotta check out her website!!!), but I was soooo happy I got a few FAMILY photos of ALL of them as I know daddy already gets more than enough (BEAUTIFUL!) photos of his cute, sweet, little boys :o) Love you guys and your sweet boys!!! <3 :o)

Ankita & Sachin • Engaged! :o)

Soso excited to share this next set. I just realized that I haven’t shot any engagement photos in a while, as most of my couples this year are planning their weddings from out of State and I won’t get to meet them until a couple of days before the wedding. I was so excited to hang out with Ankita and Sachin for a little while on Harvard University, where they just graduated from. They took me to some of their favorite spots on campus and I loved how they remembered the place where they first laid eyes on each other – up to where he proposed. They are both such a sweet couple and I’m so excited to be shooting their wedding at the the Museum of Science in downtown Boston! I’ll share a few outtakes on here also, just because I can’t resist, think the outtakes kinda show their sweet, loving and funny personalities best – a truly wonderful couple! <3 Can’t wait to see you guys again soon! :o)

Who said engagement photos are all serious business? :o)

Love these two :o))

Sachin wanted to make sure I get a few photos of where he proposed to his sweet Ankita :o)

We kinda ran out of light by the end of the shoot and decided to get a few last shots downtown Cambridge. Goodness, LOVE the lights in the back, and look how Ankita’s beautiful dress matches the colors. A PERFECT ending to a fun shoot! :o)

Cora & Simon, 1 week old

Loooook who came to see me at only ONE week old! Precious Cora and Simon! I’ll admit, this was my first twins newborn shoot and I was a little scared as I didn’t know how it’d go (not that you ever know with newborns), but they were SUCH angels! They really loved snuggling up together and were the most peaceful babies! My goodness, soso sweet! Mommy (aka super-mommy in my books!) and daddy are so blessed and you could just feel how happy and loved everybody was! Love how the photos came out, enjoy :o)

Snuggly!

Just HAVE to post this one of lill Simon keeping an eye out for his sister, tell me this is not super cute?! :o))

Merrick, 9 months old

Aaaaaand a week later and we’re back in the studio again, haha! Spring here has been SO beautiful, but SO unpredictable at the same time. We got the nicest weather for days and then more and more snow – and not just a little bit! But what will brighten your day better than a sweet little toddler :o) I mean … look at this cutie! the nasty weather was forgotten in no time :o)

This little guy in ooooon the move!! :o))

Cutie :o))

I really love photographing this age, they’re so interactive (AND not running away from me yet, haha)

Grandma and grandpa are running a karate school … so we had to get some with a karate outfit. This is the cutest little karate kid I know :o)) He’ll kill you with just the cutest little look :o))

Little guy leaving my set:

Thanks for coming by :o)

Fort Collins Baby and Newborn Photographer, A Brilliant Photo

Liam, 1 year old (already?!?!?)

The one year old shoot is always bitter-sweet for me, ha! LOVED seeing little Liam grow the entire last year and I’ll miss seeing him every 3 months! I hope you guys enjoy the photos from our little birthday shoot :o) He sure is a little cutie and I was SO happy to get outside for a few shots, of course we got dumped with almost 2 feet of snow about 2 days later, but hey …. you gotta take it when you can, right? :o)

Mommy, daddy and auntie were blowing bubbles behind my back for lill Liam’s entertainment :o)) LOVE his bubble face, must be one of the cutest things ever! :o))

CUTIE!

Love all his expressions :o))

OMG! :o))

Auntie Kim has this aaaawesome house in the mountains with an old truck in the backyard, HEAVEN for a photographer AND a 1 year old little boy :o))

Fort Collins Baby and Newborn Photographer

School Pictures!

This is not a photo post. I know, right?! WOW!! Haha …. but sometimes even I have to spill out my heart – without photos – haha!This is not a post where I want to criticize anybody, and I LOVE the school Anya is attending, so I really hope I’m not going to make anybody upset here – BUT – I saw Anya’s school photos today! Ha! Let’s just let that hang in the room for a second, haha! The fact that I somehow missed the heads-up email that we usually get from school did not help my/her case (haha) and Anya was wearing something … well let’s say … it wouldn’t have been anything I would have recommended for photos ;o) … but in my case it also doesn’t matter that much, though … it would have been fun to buy a school photo, just for the sake of having one.

Now – I know school photographers don’t have an easy job! They go in a classroom, full of screaming kids – if they’re lucky they get an empty room assigned, but I’m sure that’s not always the case …. they probably can’t spend more than 5 minutes on each kid as they have hundreds to go through, and that’s it guys! No matter if the kid was happy that day / that MOMENT (!), no matter if the photographer had an assistant or not, for some kids those will be the only “professional” photo(s) they get. Now …. fair enough …. some people do not have the money to spend for an extra shoot and a free school photo session comes in handy. Some parents don’t care about having professional photos of their kids (hey, everybody has different priorities, not judging anybody!!). Some parents think that no photographer will do a better job and that’s just the camera smile they’ll have to live with, but let me tell you … dang am I happy I am a photographer and have the time to tickle the REAL Anya out of her for a few photos here and there – and it’s sure not an easy task, even for me, the mom!

I am not telling you you HAVE to get a photo shoot every year, otherwise you’re a bad person, but years down the road, don’t you think you wish you would have invested a little money for some nice looking photos of your kiddo / family? A photo shoot might look expensive at first, but think about it in the long term! Skip that night out or …. 3 …. skip buying tose two expensive dresses, or a few trips to the nail salon!

Again – school photographers don’t have an easy job, and to be honest, they did get Anya smiling in some photos (which I know is not easy / and I’m definitely not saying the school did a bad job picking a photographer!). But it’s not about getting a smile or not, the question is, is it her REAL smile? Nope, it isn’t. A good photographer will take time to build a relationship with you and your kids. A good photographer doesn’t work by the clock and doesn’t rush a kid! I guarantee you, you will not get the REAL smile if you put any kid in front of a stranger with a camera! That kid needs to feel comfortable first, you need to joke around with him/her, you need to tickle it, you need to make funny sounds, faces, involve stuffed animals and a whole lot of other things. Same counts for adults. That’s why all my package include engagement photos, I will not let you book me if you don’t agree on engagement photos these days, it’s all about building a relationship and trusting and getting to know the person behind the camera, that’s how you get that real smile!

Again, I’m not saying you are bad people if you don’t get professional photos taken every couple of years, but give a photographer in your area a chance to capture the REAL you, to help you make some memories.

I am not going to post the photos of Anya that I got from the school photographer, I am honestly glad he’s doing this job and parents are getting photos on a regular basis. But having seen the option to buy some of the photos as a canvas for over a couch …. boy, that just kinda gave me shivers, haha!! PLEASE consider having a real session – maybe even with THAT photographer, I promise you (ok, that’s a hard promise, but …), you’ll get nicer photos and a bigger chance to get that REAL smile from a photo shoot that lasts longer than 5 minutes ;o)

That’s all I have to say ;o)

I know most people that will read this are either some of my (already) clients or photographers, and will probably agree :o) But if you know somebody that maybe can’t afford a shoot, or maybe just need to have some encouragement to get some professional photos taken, contact somebody in your area and give them a photo credit for a baby shower, birthday gift or everyday gift – they’ll be glad you did! :o)

Guess what?!

Well, most of you guys already guessed it on my FB site :o)) but I thought I’d post it on here too ;o)
