Regina has been trying to schedule a shoot for over a year so when I was driving to their shoot in Marshfield...in the pouring rain...I kept driving.  I hoped the rain would stop, but even if it didn't we were still going to get out there and shoot. ;).  Moments before I started, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, everything was perfect.  Regina's dad re-built a 1930's Model A Ford over a ten year period so we shot quite a bit in the car.  I'm sure her dad was thrilled to have all his grand kids piling into something he had worked so incredibly hard on. 
One by one, each family came down to the beach with me and we had a blast. 
Here are some of my favorites from a great day with a great family.
enjoy.

Ben and I photographed Liz and Todd's wedding in March 2009 and we were all instant friends.  In fact, Liz and Todd are prrrrrrrobably two of my favorite people ever.  So when they told me they were expecting a little girl this summer, I was already in love.  I already knew she'd be gorgeous, smart, kind, and full of love.... I just didn't know how hilarious and athletic she'd be at three days old.
This is not a typical newborn shoot, but it is a typical T.Spoon shoot: real families acting with lots of love and honesty. Messy, funny, lovely, perfect.
Liz and Todd, good luck.  ;).  Looks like you're in for the ride of your lives.  I love you both very much.  Thank you so much for letting me document your beautiful lives.
love. love. love.

The joys of the first 72 hours of parenthood...reason #456 why you should marry someone who makes you laugh. :)

Awesome ... soooo much better than the faux-Anne Geddes-silly-hat newborn thing one normally sees on blogs. This is why you rock!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be super talented and really gorgeous...and a senior in highschool. ;)
Lena is all of those three and much more.  We had SUCH a good time at the Arboretum last week making photographs for her website and blog and general awesomeness.  Find her on facebook: Lena Stein.
Here are some of my favorites from the shoot:
enjoy.

I get couple crushes all the time in wedding photography, I even fall in love with many a Small.  Photographing Katie, Ian, Ellsie, and Isaac was my first family crush, though.  We had the best time ever in Acton and Concord on a gorgeous Sunday evening in May.  They couldn't be a sweeter, cooler, better looking family.  They were up for everything, and we did it all: A toy store, an arboretum, and what they love best: cooking together. 
Thank you for everything, you guys. 
Enjoy.
KatieIansmall004.jpg KatieIansmall011.jpg Ellsie wanted to go to the toy store with me so we could have GIRL POWER in the car!  On our way there, she looked out the window and sighed, 'I wish my mom would call me Rapunzel."  totally.

KatieIansmall042.jpg KatieIansmall043.jpg KatieIansmall044.jpg KatieIansmall046.jpg KatieIansmall050.jpg I took one look at this photograph and thought, 'this is obviously going to be their Christmas card this year.'

Photographing this family was pretty much the best way ever to start the 2010 T.Spoon season.  When Pam answered her front door, my first thought was, 'With a name like Pamela Anderson, you're real lucky you're hot!' 
We went to a horse training field to shoot, a place they go all the time so it was really special to all four of the family members. ;)
They're full of love, friendship, health, and fun.  I hope it comes across in the photographs.
enjoy.
