This family was one of my first clients 2 years ago! I had put an ad on the bulletin board at my then day-job for holiday portraits and my co-worker, Charley, responded. I don’t do a ton of family portraits, mostly because of my wedding season extending into the cold winter months, but I am so glad that I get to keep trekking down (this was my 3rd time!) to the South Shore to photograph this family. They are so easy to photograph, because Julie & Charley are big fans of the candid moment. You’ll see at the end of the post, the last photograph, is what happens when I try to pose 3 year old twins, hilarious!

Wedding season is about to get insanely awesome up in this house. While I am prepping myself for non-stop weddings until mid-November (minus my own wedding!) I wanted to share this with you from a recent family sesh. This little one is cracking me up so hard right now! I’ll be sharing lots of engagement sessions and weddings very soon!

I don’t spend too much time around babies. I am, after all, in my late 20’s and live in a city so there aren’t too many babies to be seen. A lot of my friends from back home (Maine) are starting to have children and the thought of me having kids is the furthest thing from my mind at this time in my life. I’m too young! I have so much more of the world to see! Wow, I’m almost 30.

I’ve decided I really like 1 year olds. Their cheeks are so. darn. pinchable! And those little shirts and cargo pants, I eat it up! This shoot is so special to me. This is the woman who gave me a chance in the wedding biz. After months and months of trying to get something, *anything* to get my foot in the door and a portfolio going Audrey needed a second shooter. I sent her my flickr page with zero portraiture but she saw potential in me. When we met the day of the wedding, I felt like I had known her for years and we got along so great. It’s because of her that I am where I am less than 6 months later! Thank you Audrey! xoxo

Here is her son, Dante, with *insane* cheeks! ( SIDENOTE: my boyfriend, Danny, wants me to find him this shirt in his size. )

Today on the blog I have for you two adorable parents and their equally adorable twins! Meet Eva and David, a 1 year old brother/sister combo and their parents, Julie and Charley, of the South Shore of MA. We were going to have a mostly outdoor shoot in front of their beautiful new house but it was about zero degrees out. Luckily though, Eva and David have matching Irish sweaters/hats and we managed to get outside for a couple snaps. I played with the little ones a bit before taking my camera out and they were both happy and playful, but when I pulled the cam out, Eva froze and stared at me just like this for about one full minute! Isn’t she adorable?

Once Julie mentioned those matching sweaters and hats I knew they were going to be insanely cute. As they bundled the kids up, I snapped this series of David. I laugh out loud every time I look at it!

They were so easy to work with, too! They didn’t fuss about anything and it was as though they were meant to be in front of the camera because they had what seemed to be an unlimited bank of cute faces.

I know what you’re thinking, “wow these chillins couldn’t be any cuter!” Think again! Here are a few other shots from our shoot.

Thank you for looking!
