Boston Family Photographer – He’s a trooper!

11.04.14

I’ve been photographing this beautiful family since before I officially opened the doors of Sarah Jordan Photography. I’ve watched Mom and Dad grow from fun, goofy college kids into fun, goofy (but also responsible, loving, and amazing) parents! I’ve often joked that they are the easiest family ever to photograph; they are super photogenic, their kids are quick to smile, and everyone is so used to snuggling and playing together that it just comes naturally during our sessions. I guess all of that talk had to catch up with me at some point…

This year, big brother came down with an awful case of croup literally ON THE WAY to their session. He emerged from the car with a big frown, and things just got worse as the afternoon progressed. For perhaps the first time ever, I had to work REALLY hard to elicit a smile from this usually easygoing, talkative little boy. But you know, that’s just the way things go sometimes! We were all there and ready, so we decided to give it a go and see how things turned out.

The good news is that he’s now all better, and I don’t think you can even tell how sick he was from these photos 🙂 I’m pretty sure that I captured every single time he smiled during our session. See – it all works out in the end!

North Andover Child Photographer – Superwoman

11.02.14

This girl! Oh, how I love her! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her every 6 months since she was born, and she just gets sweeter and more adorable with each session. She also gets faster! I chased her around for quite some time a few weeks ago, and captured images of her playing, laughing, and loving life.

And just look at that costume! Isn’t it awesome?! I loved how she embraced the role of Superwoman with such enthusiasm – flying through the air with her cape blowing behind her in the wind.

North Andover Kids Photographer – Action packed

11.01.14

Sometimes, lots of planning before a session is really helpful. The family and I can come up with ideas for activities to do during the session, emotions we want to capture, and special items we want to incorporate into the photos.
But more often than not, we get to a session and the kids have an entirely different plan. They don’t want to read the books we’ve brought or the hot chocolate we made, and instead they want to run through the fields and pick wildflowers for their mom. And that’s absolutely fine with me! During this family session, we did do some of the things we had planned, but they were very brief. It turns out that all we really needed was wide open space, some flowers and leaves! The kids had a blast, and I certainly got my exercise for the day. Perfection!

Danvers Family Photographer – Perfect imperfections

10.30.14

A few things I loved about this session:

*Catching up on how the family has grown and changed in the past year! This year marks our FIFTH annual session together, and the kids are just getting sweeter and happier with each session.
*The fact that mom didn’t reschedule when her daughter broke her wrist! Of course, we could have found another date to do the session, but I loved that she wanted to capture this time in their lives without feeling the need to make everything look “perfect.” The cast will be gone soon, but these images forever captured a major event in this young girl’s life.
*That the images from this session will be displayed in a gorgeous album to add to the collection. I adore albums – maybe even more than wall art. They are the perfect way to present images in a way that tells a story. Images that compliment each other can be grouped together, and the result is more emotional and captivating than a single image on its own.
*Last but not least, I love how this family is comfortable playing, laughing, and snuggling together. Their easygoing personalities make every session unique, spontaneous, and so much fun for all of us!

Reading MA Family Photographer – Making memories

10.22.14

During this session, we ran, we laughed, we climbed, we played, we jumped, we talked….we just enjoyed spending a couple of hours together on a beautiful fall afternoon. Sessions like this make me so incredibly grateful to have the job I do! When the kids look back on these images years from now, I hope they’ll remember our time together with a smile – because creating memories is truly what it’s all about!
It’s crazy to think that we’ve been looking forward to this session for almost a year now. This was one of the first families to take advantage of my FREE HOLIDAY MINI promotion when they booked their full session last fall. It was fun to meet them at the mini, and then catch up with them again this year! Contact me today if you want to take advantage of this opportunity for your own family!

North Andover photo session – fall colors

10.09.14

Those leaves! They were just spectacular! Every year, I look forward to when this row of trees changes color, and we lucked out with the timing for this family session 🙂

The kiddos started out a bit unsure of exactly how much fun they were “allowed” to have during their session. Once they realized that they were not only allowed, but ENCOURAGED to ride a tractor, play with toys and run around like crazy, the smiles never stopped!

Methuen maternity photographer – Sisters

10.07.14

These big sisters may just have been the sweetest, happiest, most enthusiastic kiddos I’ve ever photographed! They were up for anything I suggested, and we all enjoyed running, snuggling, jumping, dancing and exploring together. One of my favorite things about maternity sessions is that they allow me to really get to know a family before the chaos of the newborn session. I only hope that baby brother is as easygoing as his siblings!

Newburyport lifestyle photographer – By the water

10.02.14

Three years?! Really?! I recall this family’s LAST SESSION so clearly that I was shocked to realize it was so long ago! Of course, when we met up this time around, I immediately saw that the kids were no longer the babies I remembered. They had grown into beautiful, sweet, happy children who no longer attempted to jump into the water at any given chance!

One thing that remained constant through the years is their love of the ocean. They enjoy boating together, soaking up sun at the beach, and splashing in the water during New England heat waves. For their last session, we played in the surf at Crane beach – this time, we headed north to Newburyport, where we enjoyed watching boats come and go at the yacht club. Such a perfect way to say goodbye to summer!

Apple orchard session – Sweet as pie

09.29.14

This young lady is no stranger to the camera. Her acting and modeling resume is already rather impressive…and she’s only in first grade! (You can check out her talent HERE)

When we were planning the session, Mom wrote, “This time, I want her to just be a kid, having fun, showing off her currently toothless grin and being happy! I don’t want to worry about stray hairs, or everything being perfect.” So, we did just that! We laughed, ran, played, and even picked some apples. We didn’t stop to fix anyone’s hair, and we didn’t worry about posing everyone just right. But somehow, I think the images we captured are…well…pretty perfect!

Newburyport photographer – The best laid plans…

09.26.14

….well, you know the rest.

Last Spring, this family reserved a session to take place in the sunflower field. I visited the farm a few days before the session to make sure I knew the light and the grounds, and I was excited to capture the girls amidst the beautiful flowers! Then, it got cold. Very cold overnight. Cold enough that there was a frost, and all of those beautiful sunflowers wilted into sad brown stalks. Soooooo…..we changed our plans on the spot, headed over to Newburyport, and wandered from beautiful brick walls to bright flowers, and eventually down to the beach. The evening was warm, and the fog was so dense that we could barely see the water from the parking lot by the time we left! It was really unique and a very different type of beach setting than I usually get to shoot.

It may not have been what we expected, but sometimes spontaneity provides the most memorable, enjoyable, and beautiful images.

Littleton Family Photographer – A morning at home

09.18.14

I first met this family a year ago when B was just a tiny NEWBORN. Mom and I hit it off, and I’m now lucky to consider her a friend! I’ve had the pleasure of watching these kiddos grow through the past year, and it was wonderful to capture their big personalities again with a photo session a few weeks ago. After looking at bare walls in their new house for quite some time, they were anxious to finally fill them with some beautiful, custom wall art. I can’t wait to see these images hanging up!

I just loved those photos of big sis on the tire swing! Can you believe that I almost left without ever even knowing that it was hiding out back?!

Cape Cod Photographer – Beach sunset

09.08.14

When this family first contacted me about doing a session during their yearly vacation in Cape Cod, I knew right away that I wanted to find a way to make it happen! As I’ve said before, CAPE COD has a special place in my heart, and I knew how beautiful a sunset session would be. The beaches on the Cape are unique in that the sun sets over the water on the bay side – something that is hard to come by on the East Coast.

Of course, beach sessions are always filled with lots of potential challenges – bugs, heat and wind could all make for less than ideal conditions. That’s why we decided to grab some photos at the family’s house before heading over to our dream location. Lucky for us, the weather was perfect, the wind calm, and the bugs didn’t come out until just after the sun dipped below the horizon. It also helped that baby girl was full of smiles and giggles, and happy to snuggle and play with Mom and Dad. And the light! Oh, the light! It just got better and better all evening, until the colors just exploded right at sunset. Simply amazing 🙂

Gloucester Family Photographer – In motion

09.01.14

Most kids like to run. But these two LOVE to run. Or climb. Or do anything that would make an adult’s head spin! Luckily, I was warned about this ahead of time, and Mom and I chose session locations that would allow for all of the action that the family loves, while still providing a beautiful backdrop. We started at their house, where everyone was happy and comfortable. Then, when things started getting a little crazy, we headed over to a little park right by the water to enjoy some swings and slides. We finished up the session at beautiful Good Harbor Beach, just as the sun was sinking below the horizon. The images we captured are certainly true to life – full love love, smiles, and lots and lots of action!

Lowell Family Photographer – Mommy and me

08.28.14

Sometimes, all it takes is a simple, spontaneous action to help a child feel comfortable at a session. This sweet girl was a bit slow to warm at first, but as soon as I offered to make her a crown of flowers, she was all smiles 🙂 (To be honest, I had NO idea how to make such a thing…but we had so much fun playing around and figuring it out together!)

After that, we spread out a blanket amidst the flowers, sang songs, and Mom snuggled up her little girl. I hope these images will bring back memories of a silly, happy, fun-filled summer morning!

Andover Photographer – Natural parents

08.24.14

Many first time parents are a bit overwhelmed when they bring their little ones home from the hospital. Adjusting to long (often sleepless) nights, frequent feedings, and caring for this beautiful – but demanding – new boss of the household can be quite a shock.
So when I knocked on the door to photograph this new family, I expected to walk into chaos. But much to my surprise, all that greeted me was love and patience. That’s not to say that the baby wasn’t demanding, or that anyone had gotten much sleep the night before – but Mom and Dad were so over the moon in love with their baby girl that they welcomed the challenges that came with with her. Mom gives some of the credit to all of the prenatal education and fitness classes she took at Acelleron Health and Fitness . Who knows if that was the reason, or the family that poured through the door to help out, or if being parents just came naturally to them…but I think you can just feel the love and joy in the images we captured together.

Oh, and did you see that nursery?! Soooo beautiful!
