Three families rolled into one.

Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:04:20 -0500

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.

Irish step dancing: :)

a new cart wheeler and a tentative little brother:

NNNNNEXT!!!!!....

I asked which one was the smartest...

Then I asked who was their parent's favorite...;)

You know the drill...Last, But Not Least...

The fish his friend caught? It was THIS big!

Welcome to Earth, Caroline.

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.

A photo from their wedding day:

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

A singer, songwriter, and a newly licensed driver: Lena.

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 08:51:51 -0500

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:

I have my first Family Crush on these guys.

Sun, 23 May 2010 09:11:10 -0500

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.
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.
It's a bummer to realize that you can't use the stickers in the sticker book when you don't own the sticker book.

There was a wedding having their formals photographs done at this park and Elsie was absolutely enamored with the bride.

I took one look at this photograph and thought, 'this is obviously going to be their Christmas card this year.'

CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pam, Eric, Keeper, and Bella

Mon, 10 May 2010 09:02:52 -0500

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.

Happy 7th Birthday, Ben.

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:38:29 -0500

When I was deciding what to do with Ben for his Special Day to celebrate his 7th birthday, it was super easy. He loves travel, other cultures, maps, transportation, and computers.
So it was his perfect day:
Orange Line to Chinatown (for his first subway ride ever!)
Green Line to the Apple Store
and then some non Wii bowling.

Happy Birthday, Ben!

Happy 5th Birthday, Anna!

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:22:47 -0500

For the past five years, Anna has been one of my favorite people ever. She's my best friend's daughter and is just about the sweetest, most thoughtful, cutest little thing I know. For her 5th birthday, we had a 'Special Day'. We painted ceramics, got pedicures, took a subway ride, and met up with her family for a crazy dinner.
Here are some photos from her birthday party and our Special Day.

Two new 10x10 albums

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:33:58 -0500

I'm super excited to show you my two new sample albums.
Both are leather bound and 10x10 and really gorgeous.
When open, the books will lay almost two feet across your lap.
I can't think of a better way to showcase and preserve your family's photography;
An investment and a gift that will last a lifetime.

Enjoy.

And another album. This one is of Emily, her parents Erin and Matt, her dog Gus, and her then unborn little sister, Ava.

My very favorites from Chile

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:19:02 -0500

I just spent three weeks in Chile by myself. Well, I went by myself, but I don't remember ever being alone. It was the trip of a lifetime. If someone told me it was going to be this good, I'd never have believed them. New friends around every corner, hysterical laughing for three weeks, love, adventure... everything I could have hoped for.
Here are just a few of my favorite shots from the trip.

Santiago:

PATAGONIA and Eco Camp!! www.ecocamp.travel:

Pucon, the 'adventure capital of Chile'...I summited Mt Villarica...a live volcano.

Valparaiso. An UNESCO World Heritage Site and a colorful port city decorated by the best street art I've ever seen.

One new baby. One good dog. Two great parents.

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:15:00 -0500

Look who finally made it! All of two weeks late, here's new and perfect Sophie. She wanted to make sure everyone was ready. Especially her big brother who happens to be a boxer, Tyson.
She's here. She's precious. We're grateful.
Enjoy.

There was one spot of light in the middle of Sophie's new room. And who more deserving of a spotlight?

and another

Tyson, the Boxer, is a gentle and loving big brother.

Welcome Sam

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:32:54 -0500

Add this to the list of miracles: Baby Sam! I photographed Maureen last month when she was perfectly pregnant. It was so wonderful to return a month later and to meet Sam.
Here is one photograph from her maternity shoot and a few from Sam's debut.
Enjoy.

brrr. A snowy family portrait.

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:23:16 -0500

When a snow storm was due to hit during our shoot, Patricia and her family thought it was perfect timing. I totally agree. We headed over to Larz Anderson Park in Brookline and had a great time. Sledding, snow ball fights, and record low temperatures. Must be winter in Boston.
enjoy.
