Baby Catherine

Most of my clients are on the South Shore, but this young family traveled down from the city for baby Catherine's first photo shoot. I only schedule one shoot a day and it makes sense - especially when photographing newborns. Baby Catherine didn't allow me to take the first photo for about one hour. I wasn't really sure if she was ever going to fall asleep, but when she finally did we had a very successful hour of shooting.

Beautiful Baby Oliver

It was only a short time ago, it seems, that I took the engagement pictures for baby Oliver's parents. I think his mother is beautiful and so natural in front of the camera. I told them call me when you have your first child and was happy to hear from them recently to photograph their beautiful baby boy. Because newborn shoots can take anywhere from 2 - 4 hours, it was a plus for me that I knew Oliver's parents from their previous shoot. We were all very comfortable with each other. Oliver was so comfortable, in fact, he slept through the entire shoot and that made it easy to mold him into many different poses to capture these beautiful images.

Marleen

What a beautiful family! This is my first maternity shoot as well as my first shoot at two new locations. Marleen and her family are moving back to Colorado and wanted to capture her pregnancy as well as her time in New England. My goal was to create natural maternity images of Marleen and her three beautiful girls in a location that depicts the beauty of the South Shore. I created the first image with a zoom lens so that Marleen could be standing on the wall of the fort and I was about 30 feet away. I love how the boats blur in the background to give a suggestion of nautical without distracting from the subject.

Quintessential New England Summer

A family who is moving to New York asked me to capture some of the charm of living in Hingham. This shoot was a take off on the ice cream social fundraiser for the Hingham Community Center. We reserved some of the big waffle cones and set up shop at Nona's Homemade. It was a quick shoot - about an hour from start to finish - starting when the family entered the ice cream shop to when the ice cream was eaten! I took pictures of everything: from the kids standing on the ledge peeking at the variety of flavors, in the store, outside of the store, on the sidewalk. Eventually we ended up at the steps of the antique movie theatre down the street.

I absolutely loved capturing the nostalgia of Hingham. It was perfect. Kids eating ice cream in a quintessential New England town. It doesn't get much better than this.

fathers and their children

In honor of Father's Day coming up, I thought I would share a few of my favorite images of dads interacting with their children.
