More Holiday Photos

Here's young Nellie preparing for her holiday photo session by trying on her

reindeer antlers and nose.

This session was a gift for their dad, who I understand was very surprised

and ecstatic when he opened his gifts.

This one was the wall portrait that they decided on.

Natalia's Aunt & Uncle

Saturday afternoon, Melissa, her mom and her 11 week old baby boy, Nicholas came to my house for Nicholas' first pro photo session. What a cutie he is!

He didn't know what to make of the big camera I was using and had a moment of indecision resulting in the shot below. It turned out to be one of my favorites!

Who could resist that face!

We decided to do a newborn series as well. Here he is with his lovely mom, Melissa

The Teddy Bear theme

We had to get a 3 generation shot since Nana was on hand.
On Sunday, it was time for Sierra's 3 month Babes Collection photo session. Here she is with her princess doll. we took a similar photo with the same doll when she was days old .

This little cutie was all smiles!

Since it's so close to Christmas, She sported her Santa dress and hat to get some Christmas Card shots.
Sunday evening took me to Revere for Jen and Sharon's holiday session with their boys. here's Sharon with her little guy who was sound asleep when I got there but soon perked up.

Here's Jen and Jovan

Thinking of what to put on his list

Planning his next adventure. It was a wonderfully productive weekend!

Family pics, Bridal Play it Again session, a first birthday celebration, and a Holiday Card Session

Here is Stephanie with her 3 month and 22 month old boys.

They are a couple of little cuties. This little guy had his own agenda as all 22 month old's do. One way to get him to look and smile was to have his mother stand behind me with a helium balloon and bop me off the head while I said "OW!" That got me some great shots. Oh the things I'll do for a smile!

The session was a first for Stephanie who was very pleased with the outcome. I'll be seeing this group again in the spring!
Sabrina and Jose were looking to get some creative bride & groom photos in a more relaxed setting so off we went to Elm Bank in Natick early on a Sunday morning and worked our way around to all the fun spots for photos.

This little cutie "Princess Emma" celebrated her first birthday later on Sunday afternoon. She resembled a queen rather than a princess with her cape and crown. She was very excited with all of the attention.

Happy Birthday Emma!

Layla and her family had their holiday card session.

An afternoon session when Layla hadn't had a nap and has lots of teeth coming in at once made for quite a few mood changes during this session.

I was actually wondering if I was going to have to go back because I didn't get anything use-able.We sang, gave I gave her my bell necklace to jingle. We sang some more.... and as you can see by these few not only did I get some good ones,

but I ended up lots of really great ones.

Maternity and Holiday Cards sessions

Tiffany had the first of her Babes Collection Sessions this weekend

Xavier was on hand for the session as well.

Baby Love

Their baby boy is due to arrive in February


It was time for this group's holiday card session
They were all smiles this year.
Young Mikey always makes his own fun with these sessions
When I go on location to a session, I set up my equipment and then usually ask one of the children to help me test my lights.
Most of the time the child will sit and give me their best smiles. Many times I get the best single shots of the sessions from these first few images.
When Mikey helps me, however, THIS is what I get for my test shots.

Unusual for sure, but definitely FUN!
