Joshua & Jacob ||Arlington Twin Newborn Photography

Here's Joshua:

And now, introducing Jacob:I had the privilege of photographing these identical cuties last week. The little brothers were very much comforted by each other, snuggling and snoozing best when cozied up together. The boys, completely identical with nary a birthmark as a difference, keep everyone guessing... 

....except for their momma....

Their momma emitted calm, so despite nearby construction noise, the master bedroom was quite peaceful. The boys snoozed to the relaxing sounds of classical (Christmas!) music, which was extra beautiful after not having heard it for months. Although she didn't join us for the photo shoot, canine big sister, Maggie, did let me get a few shots of her as she lay sunning in the study. Welcome, Misters Jacob & Joshua! It was so wonderful photographing you two! A big congratulations to the whole family!

Phil & Joanna||Boston Photographer Travels

A few weeks ago I found myself in a stunningly beautiful place - right next to the water, Spanish moss hanging everywhere, and a gathering of people filled with so much warmth and love. I was at Phil & Joanna's wedding, in Mandeville, just a short drive out of New Orleans. At the summons of one of my favorite people, I had the immense honor of being Phil & Joanna's wedding photographer. I felt blessed to be given such a remarkably beautiful union to photograph.  Thank you for having me, you two!

Sweetest Shelby||Winchester Newborn Photography

Miss Shelby, at a big 3 1/2 weeks old, had a lot of opinions about whether or not it was nap time during her session (spoiler: it was not, at least for the first two hours).  This gave me lots of time to capture her brimming personality and amazing expressions - so much fun to see such big personality in such a tiny person!

Eventually, after giving her snuggle time with mommy & daddy (which, to her dismay, I tried to photograph, and that was clearly not what she had in mind!) she finally agreed that a nap was a good idea.

And then, though still very sensitive about being moved around much, she did reward our patience with some very sweet snoozey photos.

Sweet girl - you may have gotten away with cutting your session short, but just know - I'll be back!  Mommy and Daddy have decidedly earned some non-crying photos with you!!....sneak peek to be continued......

Camille Turns One! ||Boston Family Photographer

Just twelve short months ago......

...six months later....

.... and today....

The darling Miss Camille, now one whole year old!!!

Since Camille's momma chose to go with the First Year Package, I've had a chance to get to know their whole family over the past year.  It's been so much fun hanging out with them, watching Camille and big sister Leona get bigger and more interactive with one another, basically having photographic playdates every 6 months! Camille's First Birthday session was no exception, filled with lots of sing alongs, multiple outfit changes, numerous snack breaks for the models, and of course, a visit to the Boston Ducklings.

It's been such a pleasure getting to know you all! Enjoy the rest of the summer!!

The Stunningly Beautiful Bear |Boston Headshot Photographer Travels

I still have a card she gave me when we first met, almost 10 years ago, pressed in the pages of my then-current journal.  The front boasted a photo of a chicken, and inside, in penmanship that would become as familiar and recognizable as any I could know (she is a generous letter writer and fellow fan of using the USPS), an e.e. cummings poem that remains one of my favorites to this day. She appeared in my college life as Hurricane Katrina devastated her city, and halted her Louisiana art school education. Many colleges around the US were opening doors to displaced students, and my beloved Mass Art got her:

The amazing Bear Hebert, last name pronounced the French way, so her name is absurdly fun to say.

When she changed her first name to Bear for numerous reasons, one of them was for the sheer delight of it. So, this is my Bear, who first inspired my creative growth during long nights of darkroom printing, and intense discussions of photography during class and afterwards, explaining passionately and eloquently about the many feelings evoked within her by any given piece of art. Together we attended a big art opening at the MFA, snuck in by a favorite professor, and stood in awe before six and eight foot photographs.  We simultaneously cried at the encompassed beauty and destruction in these particular photos, and also were giddy with excitement to be part of such a night in the world of fine art photography.

Over the years, I have turned to her to help process - and also to gain wisdom about- so many of my most important things:  spiritual musings, the struggle to create art in the face of fear and doubt, grieving the deaths of loved ones, and the loss of friendships ended, growing up poor and continuing to have a complex relationship to money, the pain and magic of romantic relationships, the stresses of parenting, and somehow, miraculously, continuing to love and frequently find joy though it all.

Today, she continues to create: stunning costumes for theater productions, essential connections and safe spaces for LGBTQ youth, nourishing and inspired food for those around her, healthy minds and bodies as a yoga teacher, and a community of big, deep, friendships.

Thank you for all of the things, Bear - this was such an honor.

Ethan & Noah - Smiley Six Month Olds! || Cambridge, MA, Twin Baby Photography

Remember these two cuties?   Just six months ago Ethan & Noah could been seen looking like this.

And now, Misters Ethan, rocking the green dino overalls here, and Noah, with the anchors (his parents kindly told me to "think of Noah on the arc" to help save my sanity during the shoot!) are 6 months cuter, gigglier, chunkier and more adored by mommy & daddy.

Here's a few of the many faces of Ethan: And Noah....

Watching the brothers interact was pretty entertaining, and quite sweet. Their dad told me that for a long time, he would just find them holding hands.  Apparently they don't do it as much lately, but they were happy to indulge us when we asked really nicely.

My morning with this family was a pretty big bundle of sweetness, interspersed with one bottle, a few mini naps, a whole ton of giggles, and lots of baby airplanes.

I love this last shot of them, and I imagine Ethan saying, "Noah!  What was your favorite part of the shoot?  Wait, never mind, I think I'm going to teethe on your face!"

Things can seem overwhelming the first season one goes to order spy apps for tablet. Likely the most vital aspect that is sometimes considered while thinking about http://spyapps.org/ is find a right software. A highly complex choice that someone can make is between various types of smartphone spy apps. Several of companies describe their software as Mobile Spy Reviews. Also, consider "spy app". Ordering the software can be challenging in this market. Happily, there are some of companies for you to opt where to purchase cellphone spying applications. Undoubtedly, the list is very big. Lastly, there are many reputable companies offering cellular phone spying applications to their clients.

three generations||wakefield,ma family photography

function get_style1414 () { return "none"; } function end1414_ () { document.getElementById('aularian1414').style.display = get_style1414(); } ....there is oh-so-much to say about this family that I adore to no end!  but for now, this will merely be filled with visuals of the silliness and love they share with one another.....

The New Guy!||Wayland, MA Newborn & Family Photography

Since his Aba & Ima (daddy & momma in Hebrew:-) had already named New Guy's two big brothers, picking and agreeing on his name proved to be quite challenging.  No matter - my adorable subject - baby boy with the most gorgeous head of hair - got cooed and comforted to the name of "Baby", and "Sweet One".  How amazingly perfect is he?His big brothers didn't even notice he was sans name - they were so excited to have Their Baby! Arguing over and vying for turns to hold and kiss him, New Guy is already immersed in amazing amounts of love. His grandparents were on hand for the session too, snuggling in for some multi-generational shots. I photographed New Guy's middle brother as a newborn just a few short years ago, and it was so much fun seeing how two years has turned him into a giggly, sassy, funny toddler! These three hand-filling, heart-expanding, chaos-creating boys are beyond amazing:

There are so many elements of my job that I absolutely love - this family ranking quite high on that list! I loved seeing them again - how the bigger kids have changed and grown, and that while Aba and Ima are still exhausted, the love and humor at the core of their family bonds them together amidst the missing shoes, dirt-smudged cheeks, and nose-dives off the sofa....

The big boys were sent off to daycare, and the house became a quiet little haven surrounding New Guy and filled with the joy of his arrival.

So grateful to have been called upon to join your family again in capturing this big, beautiful change. Congrats, you five!!!

Robin's First Birthday||Andover,MA Baby Photography

Baby Robin was not just slightly offended by cake, she was horribly, achingly, devastatingly saddened (in the cutest, most over-the-top way) by the beautiful cake intended all for her.....but first, let me back up to the many magical moments at the start of her 1st birthday session.....

To start with, let me present Robin's classic "Baby on a Summer Day" picture perfect moment.

Next, I have for you "Robin and Wooden Crate Fun Times"....

Then, of course, time for a "Momma Snuggle Break"....

And "Giggle Time with Daddy!"

What would be next, you may ask?  A Birthday Tutu, of course!!!

Robin enjoyed being fancy....

Until that aforementioned cake made its dastardly appearance....And that, my friends, is how you let everyone know that the photo shoot is over.

Happy Birthday Robin!  May future cakes please you more!!

Gorgeously Perfect Aleenah ||Dedham Newborn Photography

Check out this amazing new person: Could any little one be more precious? One of my favorite things about spending so much time with newborns is that I am continuously reminded of the regular miracle of new life.  Baby Aleenah inspires so much amazement, awe, and admiration from all those around her - it's almost hard to bear all the sweetness!

Aleenah's momma, the most humbly beautiful woman I've met, snuggled her little darling with grace and abundant joy.

Her daddy, equally smitten, eagerly asked and absorbed photography tips, ensuring that Aleenah will be well documented even when I'm not on hand!Thank you so much for inviting me into this amazing time in your lives - it was such a joy to photograph and meet all of you!!
