Family Portraits in Boxford

It’s always such fun to watch our couples go from engagement to wedding to having a baby to….more babies! This is exactly how our relationship with Beth and Jeff has evolved, and we couldn’t be more honored to be able to document these milestones for them.

You might remember beautiful Evelyn from a previous family portrait post. This time around she’s all grown up and sharing the spotlight with little sister Megan. As they played at home on a fall day, René chased them around their playroom, capturing the girls looking and acting as they would on any other day. No stiff poses here – just big blue eyes and bright smiles!

Family Portraits at the Arnold Arboretum

You may remember Michelle and Ken from their fabulous wedding at the Harvard Club. It’s been a few years, and we were super excited to hear from Michelle when she emailed inquiring about a family portrait session.

Family portraits…?? Why, yes! Baby Carter is now part of their fun-loving family. A blond-headed ringer for dad, Carter was a little shy at first when we met mid-fall at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. But as soon as we found a good spot for pictures, he was off and running! He gave Rene quite the workout chasing after him to get good photos, but by the end we were all laughing and singing along with Carter.

It was great to catch up, and more importantly, we think Carter posed for some extra adorable images:

Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

It seems that this is the week for every photographer, every news outlet to post a “best of” blog. So, OK, we’re not original, I guess, but still we want to highlight our favorite things about some of our 2011 weddings. We were incredibly lucky to have been able to work with so many amazing couples this year, so here goes…

Amanda was our favorite pin-up bride for 2011. She was sexy, spunky, and a whole lot of fun to photograph!

T0131 123110 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

This is my favorite cake shot of 2011. This picture was taken right after the bride proclaimed to her groom that, yes, she was eating the whole piece she was cutting…all by herself.T0165 43011 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

This cake topper was just too cute to leave out of our “favorites” for the year.T0202 91711 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

Our favorite ceremony location of 2011? This gorgeous beach setting in Connecticut.T0209 72411 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

Wedding dress choices are so subjective, but Lindsay was absolutely stunning in this Lusan Mondongus curve-hugging gown!T0245 81311 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

It’s hard not to love The State Room. It might win every year for favorite venue-with-a-view.T0258 9311 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

One of my absolute favorite portraits of the year – maybe of the last few years! Rene found the perfect light and Christine and Stan simply melted into it.T0427 91011 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

Our favorite royal wedding inspired wedding. The bride adored everything Kate & Wills, so she and her bridesmaids donned these little English-style fascinators for the reception.T0435 52911 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

This Newport, RI wedding wins hands down for favorite theme: the Roaring Twenties. This shot was taken at the rehearsal, to which the bride-to-be wore a flapper-style dress picked by her groom (we love that, guys!).T0004 7811 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

My personal fav for bridal portrait. This was not a posed picture; Rene caught Amy just a few seconds before she was poised to leave for her ceremony. The look of sheer joy and excitement on her face makes me smile every. single. time.T0015 8611 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

Brandy and Andrea are our favorite mix of old and new. They chose a very traditional old Boston landmark in which to celebrate a new (hopefully growing) type of wedding.T0046 9411 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

This first look photo wins as our favorite for many reasons. Notably,  just moments before she was to see her groom for the first time the bride proclaimed, “I know exactly what he’ll do when he sees me,” and demonstrated a silly smile and eyebrow-raising look. She was spot on!T0071 82011 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

Radhika and Jeremy are our favorite determined couple. Not only did they insist that the show would go on during a New England hurricane (?!?), but they were so focused on their love for each other during the day that the roof could have fallen down and it still would have been perfect.T0125 82711 Weddings 2011: A Few of Our Favorite Things

So here’s to 2011! We know there will be many more favorite moments in 2012 and we look forward to being part of just a small few.

Baby Portraits in “Southie”

Baby Vivian was only 10 days old when we met her at mom and dad’s in South Boston. Cute as a button, she was happy to let us place her in all kinds of poses. Mom’s only request – “I need ‘naked baby in a hat’ photos!” So here are the results. We do, indeed, love the hat!
