Style Me Pretty : Baby Audrey

As many of you might know, Paul and I are delighted and honored that our studio is a featured photographer in Abby's Little Black Book on the fabulous Style Me Pretty blog. Well, a few weeks back we had the pleasure of meeting Abby in person at Weddings : The Creative Process, a lovely bridal event put on by Sarah True of True and Wesson. Abby was the special guest speaker, and we were so excited to finally meet her. For all of you style obsessed brides out there, you must check out Style Me Pretty... it is the place to go for inspiration. Abby never ceases to amaze us with her intriguing articles and keen eye in putting together inspirational detail boards .

Well, imagine our surprise when Abby's husband Tait calls us a few days later, asking us for a gift certificate for Abby for mother's day! Apparently Abby liked us as much as we liked her. Needless to say, we were quite flattered, and very delighted to photograph Abby and her lovely family.

So, the following week we took a little trip up to Boston to fotograph the Larson's in their home. It was the perfect spring day, and we started in baby Audrey's bright little nursery, where there was plenty of beautiful natural light and smiles!



We loved the colorful rug....it made for such a cheerful background!



Audrey was having a ball hangin' out in her crib! We were all cracking up as she rolled around with that daisy in her hands, ripping the poor thing all apart!





Paul took these wicked cute fotos of Audrey peering from her crib. How cute!



See any family resemblance in the smiles... like mother like daughter : )



Back down to baby height...



Who could resist a face like this? What a doll!






Audrey with Chloe, the family dog. We asked the Larson's if they watch the TV show "24", which just happens to have 2 characters named "Audrey" and "Chloe." They said they actually never saw it....hmmm, coincidence I guess.



Chloe was cute as a button...no wonder Tait is so attached to her.





My favorite shot of the day : )





How sweet is Audrey?



Off to enjoy the beautiful, sunshine outside....we walked over to a lovely park across the street from the Larson's home to make these portraits. I love how Abby spontaneously lifted Audrey up above...real, uncoached moments are the best : ) We always encourage our subjects to be themselves and forget we're even there, and the Larson's were wonderful for that.





Tait playing with his sweetheart.



All the ladies in the family...prettiness overload! I had a nice talk with Abby's super sweet mom Eddye (who is holding Audrey below). Eddye is the very talented blogger behind the Little Black Book blog, writing inspiring feature articles on the Little Black Book vendors. As you might recall, just a few months back, Paul and I had a wedding featured on the blog. It was great to meet her as well as Tait's mom Judy. We think it is wonderful that Style Me Pretty is a family affair. Tait is the brains behind the programming of the site and I'm pretty sure that Chloe is the Style Me Pretty mascot : )



Isn't this adorable? I love how Audrey's touching hands with grandma Judy.



Stylin' pretty : )



Back inside....we just had to use the dining room table, fresh flowers and the beautiful vintage chandelier in some shots. And Audrey didn't even pee sitting there all nakey!





I love the different perspectives that Paul + I get of the same shot... here's Paul's super cute shot....





Then it was bath time...where else but in the kitchen. Oh to be a baby again!



I love how the grandma's are watching the background.

Cute little chubby rolls and the bubbles all over.





Thank you Abby & Tait (and the rest of the family too!) for such a wonderful time! You guys are a lovely family, inside and out, and it was such a pleasure getting to know you!

Lil' Declan!

One of the most satisfying parts of our jobs as fotographers is to reconnect with our couples as their families grow. Kara & Mike were married a few years ago, and we fotographed their wedding, so we were delighted to hear that they had a little guy in the picture now, and they wanted us to meet him and capture all his cuteness.

Click HERE to watch a rockin' slideshow of this little guy and his mommy & daddy!

Meet lil' Declan, a cute little red head baby boy (just like his parents...the red hair that is!)





Mommy's snuggly!!



Daddy's funny!!



So big!!!











It's rainy out there...







Yummy!!!







Is that a little elf I see?



What a doll Declan is....he looks just like the Gerber here! So cute!





Come on!!!!



This little guy loved the fire...



Happy Thanksgiving Kara & Mike (and little Declan too!)

Miracle of Life: The Niderno Family at the Beach

Remember Lil' Dylan and his big blue eyes? Here is more images from his six month shoot, which his mommy Dawn asked if we could do at their family's beach vacation spot. The name Dylan is a mythology name meaning "son of the sea," so we thought that the beach was the perfect place!!!

The Niderno's fotos came out so great that it was hard to choose my favorites for this post, but
I made an AWESOME SLIDESHOW too, so check it out!!!!

Dylan's eyes are as big and blue as the ocean.


With mommy Dawn, who is a real sweetheart. This kid really knows how to flirt with the camera....what a little cutie!




Flying with Daddy Justin....I swear this kid knows exactly wear to look for the camera. His parents might want to consider a modeling career...and he already has a portfolio to show!!!

Do we see a handsome resemblance here? What a couple of hams!


I LOVE it when real, tender moments like this one happen in front of my camera.


So sweet....


I'm so little!!


Such a beautiful family!


Big brother Patrick loves the camera to....he is such a charater!

Lil' Madelyn!

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of fotographing little Madelyn, who just turned one!! Madelyn's parents are Sara & Mike, a past bride & groom of ours, and We love it when our brides & grooms come back to us as they start their families. We did a maternity session for Sara when she was pregnant with Madelyn, and also a newborn session when little Mattie arrived!! It's such a wonderful honor to capture important moments in our customer's lives....we LOVE our job!

And to all of our past couple's out there reading this, we thought this would be a good opportunity to let everyone know that we have a program you might not know about called Fotographers for Life, which entitles our past brides & grooms to 5% off all portrait sessions, prints & products for life!! It's just our little way of saying thank you, and that we would be honored be your fotographer for life! So, if you've been meaning to make an appointment for portraits of your children, or a family portrait, give us a call!

Without further ado, here is beautiful little red-head Mattie!!

Daddy loves Mattie!!



So does Mommy!





Wow, my feet are standing in grass!





I'm so funny!



I'm so little!

Lil' Lennon!

Meet my little nephew Lennon! I fotographed him & my sister Kalee (Lennon's mommy) the same day as my niece Miley (from my last post). He is such a little sweetheart, and maybe I'm biased because he is my nephew, but he is one of the cutest little kids ever- check out his dimples & precious little curls! I really love the way these fotos came out, not only because I feel I captured Lennon's personality, but also because I feel I really captured the bond between mother & child.

Kalee, here is your beautiful slideshow!!!!

Below are some of my favs---but be sure to watch the slideshow!













The budding musician...



My absolute favorite shot....



Lennon reminds me of my brother Donald when he was little here....



What a happy kid!

Smiley Miley!

Meet my beautiful little niece Miley. I fotographed her 6 month session for my brother Joe and my soon-to-be sister-in-law Becky. Miley is such a happy, smiley baby and I had such a ball fotographing her!! Check out her chubby cheeks! and legs! and hands!


Click here to see Miley's slideshow!!!



Look at these chubby legs!!





Mommy's so funny!!



All tuckered out...



Who can resist chubby little hands?




How precious is my little niece?



One of my favorites...





What a doll!



So sweet...



Miley, Auntie Krystal can't wait spend another day with you taking pictures! But don't grow up to quickly...
