Fun Fall Family Portrait Session with Two Brothers

JB is one of my son Grayson’s best buddies. They were born just two weeks apart and it has been so amazing watching them grow together. It’s adorable to watch them interact and to see how excited they get when they see each other, and while most of their playdates over the past year have been on FaceTime, we look forward to getting together in person again soon!

I was lucky enough to capture family portraits for JB’s family in the fall, and he welcomed a new baby brother in 2020, too! We had so much fun playing and laughing together at Saratoga Spa State Park, and the fall colors were absolutely gorgeous in their portraits. Didn’t they do a wonderful job planning outfits for everyone? This blog post is always a huge help for families trying to figure out what outfits will look best on camera!

Just look at this handsome little guy! Soooo cute!

JB’s little brother Henry always seems to have a smile on his face, and I was so glad we were able to capture his joyful personality on camera during their session.

Did you know that we’re already booking family sessions for next fall? It’s never too early to schedule your family’s portraits, so plan ahead before the calendar fills up!

A Mommy and Me Session in the Boston Public Garden

Meet Jack. The smiliest, most adorable little boy who I had the pleasure of photographing in the Boston Public Garden this spring with his mama. This sweet 4 year old is constantly on the go, and we spent a playful hour together filled with giggles, laughs, and bubbles for an extra special Mommy & Me portrait session.

Boston is such a beautiful city in the early spring, and tulip season is always breathtaking. The misty weather didn’t dampen our spirits, and Jack and his mama layered on their rain gear and enjoyed splashing in the puddles in the garden.

Holiday Cookie Baking | A Life-Inspired Photo Session in Saratoga Springs

This fall I went to a two-day photography workshop with Emily Lucarz Photography, and I was inspired to incorporate a new style of family session into my work this winter.

Life-inspired portrait sessions

These life-inspired sessions are a guided peek into your lives at home as we capture your family enjoying an activity that you love doing together. We don’t pose and tell everyone to smile at the same time, but we find a fun activity and let the action unfold in front of the camera.

I’m excited to offer so many more of these unique portrait sessions in 2019, and I hope you’ll be excited to jump in front of my camera and document your family’s happy moments together!

We kicked off these new lifestyle sessions with a HOLIDAY COOKIE BAKING SESSION in December. This was SO MUCH FUN and I absolutely loved getting to step into this family’s home. Oscar and Miles love making cookies, so this baking session was natural for them! They had an absolute blast getting to roll out the dough, cut the cookies, and decorate with an overload of sprinkles and colored sugar. Enjoy this peek into their holiday baking session!

White kitchens are an absolute dream to photograph in because they bounce light everywhere. I loved this home!

These sessions are the perfect opportunity to get mom & dad involved, too. I loved shooting low from the children’s angle as they were putting the frosting on their sugar cookies!

Miles kept asking to drive his toy Jeep through the sprinkles, so we finished up by making tire tracks in the sprinkles and it was the perfect ending to our baking experience!

This winter I’m looking for a few more families who love cozying up at home for some fun portraits. Think pancake breakfasts, the kids in a bubble bath, storytime on mom & dad’s bed, making homemade pizza… anything that you love doing, I would truly enjoy documenting for your family to enjoy!
