13 {images} of Christmas – Providence Family photography

Okay, so if I had planned better I would have done this on actual DAYS rather than all in one post.  But between regular holiday craziness, extra sessions squeezed in and Layne’s upcoming birthday that just wasn’t going to happen.  So instead it’s all here together.  (A collective YAY!!)  And if I had been more accurate, it would have been the top 12.  But I just couldn’t cut it down.  So my top 13 favorite images from 2009.  This is not a countdown because I don’t think that I could narrow it down to an order, but these are my top choices 🙂

#13  Loved these boys.  Loved this image.  So, so sweet 🙂  (And as a side note, it got me a large editorial photo in The Baby Guide.  Can’t complain!!)

#12  Perfection all curled up.  The lighting, the cocoon, everything.

#11  This was taken during my shoot for my What to Wear guide.  But the moment and the light make it one of my absolute favorites.

14

#10  You know I’m all about the moments.  I love this one.  So much that I wanted to put my family’s faces on it and use it for MY holiday photo.

#9  How could I not pick this one?!?!!  The colors are what made this photo for me.  Not only a gorgeous baby belly but in a gorgeous surrounding.

#8  Pure happiness 🙂

#7  Pure love.  On both parts.

10

#6  I usually am not a fan of awake newborns.  But L. totally rocked it 😉  Love how adorable she looks here, like she’s checking out the world.

#5   This just makes me feel good.  Not only because it reminds me of my trip to the Outer Banks and my photog girls, but a family moment captured and in such a stunning location.

#4  I wonder when I see this if people think I put A into this pose.  It was a completely spontaneous moment and he happened to put his hand up as I was snapping the photo.  What resulted is one of my most favorite family moments.

#3  Do I really need to say anything?? 🙂

#2  More pure happiness!  W family made it twice!!!

#1  I want to keep a big giant print of this next to my desk.  So whenever I feel down in any way, I can look at it and smile.  Her look, her expression, everything just totally make this.

That’s it for this year.  I can’t WAIT for a whole new year to choose from!!!!!!

Five under Five | Massachusetts Family and Newborn Photography

Yep.  Five under five.  You read that right.  Five beautiful, adorable, huggable girls, all under five years old.   To be specific – five years old, three and a half, two years old and 10 days old!!!  I was so excited when K. contacted me to do their newborn session because I knew it was going to be a challenge.  I’ve done newborn twins and I’ve done families with three kids.  But I’ve never done a family with both.

You’d think with those ages and newborn twins that the house would be a wild crazy place but I got to their house and was immediately SO impressed with how smoothly and wonderfully it was “run.”  Run isn’t the right word but you know what I mean.  The big sisters were adorable, mom and dad were so relaxed and everyone was just so happy and so sweet.  And on top of it all, there was just SO much love in that house.  You could just see it in the way everyone interacted with each other, talked to each other and played together.  It was incredible!  (I also want to mention they have the best toy room.  Possibly EVER.)  In fact, I came home and told Matt that as a mom of five with two newborns K. had it much more pulled together than I do with just two!!   I had a really delightful time with all of them.  We sang lots of songs (Rudolph was a favorite) and the girls even offered to share their snack with me.  A great way to start my Friday morning!!  So without further ado, meet babies I. and J. and big sisters M., S., and A. in just a few of my favorites that I’ve edited so far!

Long-Distance Family | Rhode Island Family Photography

The C. family drove all the way from New York for their session with me this past week.  No pressure or anything, really!!!  I think it’s the farthest I have had someone come – when I was in PA someone drove 90 minutes.  But these guys braved 95 through Connecticut.  And anyone that has driven that knows how lovely it can be.  But come they did, and with two absolutely beautiful little girls for me to photograph. When we were planning their shoot they said they wanted to use the RISD area since that is where they both went to school which thrilled me because I was itching for some urban!  They took me all over the RISD and Brown University areas of the city (boy did I get my workout!!!!) and we got some great shots before watching the sun set over the city as we walked down the hill back to our cars.  I had such a great time with them, little E. and C. were just great troopers and so cute.  It was great to see how much E. loves her little sister and how much love, even after a 2 hour car ride, they had for each other.  (And it was also great to see another set of siblings with completely different eye colors!)  E. and W. it was great to finally meet you guys!  Enjoy your photos and your precious little girls 🙂

Originally I set up to capture just little C. but when I saw mom’s expression I knew I had to get it in there.  What resulted is a top ten favorite moment ever.

Beautiful | Rhode Island Family Photography

I love family sessions.  I love them even more when it’s a previous client family’s family (follow that?).  The aunt of the adorable twelve weeker I featured earlier this week contacted me for a session for her family and with a last minute cancellation from another client, I got to go out to their place in Hingham for an afternoon-into-evening shoot this past weekend. Big brother B and big sister S were both napping when I got there but that meant I had time alone with this cutie pie to start – sweet little baby R. all of five weeks old and perfectly adorable.  (Think – that means two grandchildren for this family within eight weeks AND sisters pregnant at the same time – how awesome is that!)  I mean look at this – usually I pose newborns and infants a bit but he did this all himself.

Seriously, SO precious.  After a little while big brother B. and big sister S. woke up and came down to join the family.  What followed was climbing on rocks, playing on a swingset, racing cars down slides, kicking around a soccer ball.  It was so much fun!!  Even Calvin, their golden got into the mix with us.  Poor guy didn’t understand that I couldn’t throw his duck toy while I was taking photos though so I’m not sure he was my biggest fan.

Meet big brother, B., four.  Totally close to my heart as he is just about two months younger than my son.  And totally the same likes.  It proves that boys at four have universal likes – cars, Lightning McQueen, superheroes.  And he had the most delicious laugh.  This was the start of it.  Pure, true laughter.  Love it.

And big sister S., almost 2.  Although she didn’t give me a ton of smiles she did throw a few my way and was all sorts of comfortable with me when I was leaving 🙂  But the serious portraits are nice too – look at those eyes!!  She was just so beautiful.  Heck, the whole family was!

Thanks for letting me into your lives, guys.  It was such a joy to spend time with all of you 🙂
