A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with newborn twins. They were born early, like so many sets of multiples are, but were thankfully in good health. When we did their newborn session they were so sleepy and frail, it was stressful to handle and pose them!
Fast forward three months and their mom contacted me to do their three month photos.
Wait, what? Three months? ALREADY?
Actually almost four. It's amazing how time flies.
I had so much fun working with these little princesses again - and it was so much less stressful than when they were brand new! Their little smiles and giggles were so sweet, and their gorgeous mommy jumped in for a quick snap with her girls, too!

If you've ever booked a session with me, you probably remember me asking you the following question:
"Are you envisioning something natural or architectural?"
The answer to this question literally cuts in half the time I will spend torturing you with questions regarding your preference for location. The answer to this question instantly tells me the time of day we'll be able to work, the style of posing I'll shoot for, and the backup plan I'll need, should there be any issues with weather.
"Oh, definitely natural", this groom said in his intriguing British accent when I asked them about their vision for location. See, he's a zookeeper and a nature lover. How out of place would he have looked posing on the steps of an old gothic-style library or something? And this bride, with her GORGEOUS red hair and freckles - I had to find them a great spot that would reflect their style and personality.
This spot was highly recommended to be by a colleague, but I hadn't yet found the right client to take there. It had been in my mental reserve for a few months when it came time to schedule this engagement session, and I was thrilled to finally get to use it.
There is so much I love about this session, it was a fun experience and an opportunity to really get to know this couple before their autumn wedding. I can't wait to work with them again.

Six month sessions are tricky - baby isn't always sitting which can cause posing to get boring FAST. I usually recommend that parents of six-month olds choose a theme or do a session to tie in a holiday that's around that six-month mark. It takes work for mom and dad, to be honest, and I feel bad, but it really is a great way to incorporate the family's interests and personality. See, that six-month mark is a BIG deal - and it should be documented, but those oh-so important milestones that we, as parents, put pressure on ourselves for our children to hit by that half-birthday aren't always visible. We know that our kids have made leaps and bounds since birth, and that they will be a completely different child by the time their first birthday comes around. Six-month sessions shouldn't be skipped, they are a great opportunity to celebrate something ALONG WITH all the developmental growth, toothless smiles, and still-chubby legs we get to enjoy at that awesome age.
Such is the case with this AMAZING six-month session. Mom and Dad, and subsequently baby, are HUGE Boston fans. Remembering this from Mom's maternity and baby's newborn session, I asked them to bring a selection of Red Sox apparel, whether it fit or not. They thought I was crazy, at first, asking them to haul out all of these clothes and then telling them to strip her down! But the result was AWESOME, if I do say so myself!
At the end of the day, there is no milestone that isn't significant enough to capture with photos. Click HERE to schedule your milestone session!
