There’s absolutely nothing that we love more than to watch our clients’ and friends’ lives grow and change. We first met Kristin and Charlie back in 2003 when they were first engaged to talk about their wedding. They tied the knot in September of 2004 with a gorgeous ceremony in the North End and a reception at the beautiful Colonnade hotel in downtown Boston. As a matter of fact, if you scroll to the top of this page, that’s Kristin and Charlie walking away as we wrapped up their portrait session on the Boston waterfront at sunset!
Well, here we are three and a half years later and we now get to meet their beautiful baby girl, Audrey. Kristin emailed me when Audrey was still an infant so that we could set up a time for her one year portrait session. And this is one of the reasons why I love Kristin so much. We literally planned a session months in advance because even though the wedding is over, Kristin can’t help but be so meticulously organized! Don’t you know it, though…. after months and months of waiting, our portrait date arrived and it was pouring rain. Not at all what they wanted for a portrait session in the Public Gardens! But we quickly rescheduled and at long last we were able to meet Audrey just a couple of weeks after her one year birthday!
We had such a blast walking through the park and just catching up with each other again. And we completely fell in love with Audrey! Neither of us could get enough of her. She has the most adorable toothy smile and had no problems hamming it up with us in front of the camera! Here are some of our favs from her session:
As soon as we walked up to them, Audrey broke out into her adorable grin. Kristin wasn’t even finished getting her dressed but we couldn’t resist starting early when we were faced with a reaction like this:
Audrey’s this close to walking, but in the meantime she’s probably the fastest crawler I’ve ever seen. And determined, too…check out that little tongue:
Most of our parents who are booking a session for the first time will ask us how long a session will last. Our response is always that it truly depends on the baby or toddler and we’ll often go as long as they last. Sometimes that can be as short as 15 minutes and other times it may be as long as 45 minutes or an hour. We just take our cues from the babies themselves. What cues, you ask? Here’s a pretty good indication that we should probably start wrapping it up…
I just can’t even tell you how much we loved getting to meet Audrey. Kristin and Charlie are truly a special couple to us and we were so beyond excited to know they were pregnant and to finally meet their beautiful baby girl. We just can’t wait to see you all again soon!
