Spring mini-sessions – Little girl, big ideas

This little lady has a mind of her own. She knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it! She is strong, determined, persistent – and I’m sure she is destined for great things 🙂 I have the privilege of photographing her every few months, so it’s been a blast watching her grow! She seems to get faster with every session!

Orchard Photo Session – Sunset in the flowers

I fell in love with this gorgeous location as soon as I spotted it! The flowers, the light, that cute tree branch at just the perfect height to sit in…Just add a glowing mom and her babies, and you have all the makings of a beautiful mini-session! The trees will be blooming for a few more days, so contact me ASAP if you’d like a session with your own family.

Holiday mini sessions – A Winter Wonderland

I’ve been sitting on this post for awhile – but I think it’s finally safe to blog some of my 2014 HOLIDAY MINIS! This year’s sessions were filled with laughter, snow, hot cocoa, and lots of candy canes! We all had so much fun that it actually felt like more of a party than a photo shoot. Of course, I did take a LOT of photos, but it still didn’t really seem like work. I loved seeing the children’s eyes light up when they entered the winter wonderland we created at SMOLAK FARMS! It was so magical that my own kids actually asked if they could come play in it after my sessions were over 🙂

American Girl – Smolak Farms Breakfast

When I had my first baby boy 6 1/2 years ago, I entered a world of trucks, ninjas and superheros that was completely foreign to me. Over time, and with the addition of another energetic little guy, I got more comfortable with all the things that come with being a boy mom. I learned the name of every kind of truck, got almost as excited about construction sites as they did, and I came to accept the dirt, noise, and general chaos that filled my life. Then I had a daughter. A daughter who loves dolls, dresses, and sparkles.

I still enjoy the rough-and-tumble adventures I get to take with my boys, but also appreciate balancing things out a bit with manicures, shopping trips and quiet, gentle snuggles every once in awhile.

Yesterday, my mother, daughter and I attended a decadent American Girl breakfast at Smolak Farms. We enjoyed homemade quiche, donuts, scones, hot chocolate, cider, and treat after treat as we worked on crafts and played games. I was a little unsure if my daughter would be too young to participate in all of the festivities, but she was just enthralled by her surroundings, and loved being around the “big kids”.

(To be clear, the boys were invited to come with me to the breakfast too, but declined the invitation when they realized that they wouldn’t be allowed to drive a tractor at the farm.)

North Andover Kids Photographer – Action packed

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!

Acelleron Maternal Health and Wellness

5 years ago, I stumbled upon a prenatal yoga class at Maternal Health and Fitness that helped me relax, slow down, and enjoy my second pregnancy. Of course, the yoga itself was fantastic – but I also looked forward to class because it was a time to chat with other mothers, get advice when I needed it, and make new friends.

That’s why I was thrilled to hear that Maternal Health and Fitness joined forces with Acelleron Medical Products to create Acelleron Maternal Health and Wellness – a “premier pregnancy and parenting wellness center focused on providing the resources and supportive community parents need to become empowered in the process of growing their family.” The new space is warm, inviting, and incredibly beautiful, thanks to Beth Bourque Design Studio. Offerings now include everything from prenatal yoga and Hypnobirthing to mommy meet-ups, make-your-own baby food workshops, baby music classes, infant massage, and even breastfeeding workshops! I only wish that this facility was available when I was pregnant with my own babies!
On Saturday, I documented the grand opening festivities, including Knucklebones playspace, a visit from Elsa, face-painting, an interactive music class, and a make-your-own baby food workshop. It was an inspiring day!

Acelleron

I was honored and excited to create the wall art used to decorate the new space. Although I love all of the images we chose, I’m particularly excited about the breastfeeding images in the lobby. As a breastfeeding mother, I know that sometimes it can be awkward and intimidating to nurse in public. I hope that images such as these help to normalize breastfeeding, and help mothers feel more confident in their right to feed their babies whenever and wherever they are hungry!
Acelleron 2

The sense of acceptance and care that greets you when you enter Acelleron Maternal Health and Wellness is due in large part to the fantastic women who have devoted a tremendous amount of time and energy to creating such a supportive environment for families. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of them without a smile!

Congrats, ladies! And good luck on your fabulous new adventure!

North Andover photo session – fall colors

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!

North Andover child photographer – Skipping rocks

I’ve been photographing this family since baby brother was just TWO WEEKS OLD, and it’s always fascinating to see how they’ve grown and changed from one year to the next! LAST YEAR, I thought it was a miracle that we got both boys to sit down AND smile for their Christmas card photo. Let’s just say that it was a challenge again this year….but we got it! This first pic is still my fave, though. The morning light…the fall leaves…the ripples in the water…the way the little guy is looking towards his big bro…. If those were my boys, I’d print that up big and hang it somewhere that I’d see it every day. I almost want to do that even though they aren’t my kids!

Apple orchard session – Sweet as pie

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!

North Andover Lifestyle Photographer – Cloud nine

This little guy only needs a few things to make him happy: bubbles, flowers, a ball, and – of course – his parents! Luckily, we had all of the above at his session, and he was on cloud nine the whole time we played together! We explored a beautiful new location, and everyone enjoyed the peaceful scenery and gorgeous light.

Boston Family Photographer – Together

It’s hard to find the right words to describe this family. Their love is palpable, their energy infectious, and their laughter contagious. They are an inspiration to me and I’m sure many around them – and I was honored to be a fly on the wall as they spent an afternoon at Smolak Farms in North Andover.

A new tradition [Smolak Farms North Andover MA Photographer]

Christmas is a big deal in our house. The holiday season is filled with baking, decorating, evening drives to check out lights, hot chocolate, Christmas movies, advent calendars, secret santas, The Polar Express, and, of course, 24/7 Christmas music. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember, but having young children makes everything even more exciting and magical.

Choosing a Christmas tree was always something the boys looked forward to, but this year we decided to make it a true adventure. Instead of hitting up one of the roadside stands that we usually go to, we decided to head to SMOLAK FARMS in North Andover, MA for a cut-your-own tree expedition. I knew the kids would enjoy it….but it turned out to be even more wonderful than we had imagined! Not only did they love the challenge of scouring the fields for the perfect tree, but CUTTING IT DOWN? With a SAW?? Yup, they were in heaven. Once the tree was safely secured on the car, we headed to the farm stand for more holiday fun! The kids were invited to decorate cookies, do some crafts, and even write a letter to Santa! They enjoyed their treats, while my husband and I relaxed with some hard earned coffee and donuts. We haven’t even decorated the tree yet, and the boys are already talking about doing it again next year!

Of course, I HAD to grab a few photos before we headed off to the field 😉 Thanks to my mother for helping me get a few shots with our whole family together!

Smiles and snuggles [North Andover MA Family Photographer]

You may remember this gorgeous family, who has been featured on my blog every fall for FOUR years now! They’ve always been easygoing and fun to photograph, but this was the first year that I think even the youngest member was out of the “run away from the photographer” phase – making for a sincerely relaxing, loving session filled with smiles and snuggles. I can’t wait to fill their yearly album with these images. They are starting to amass quite an impressive collection!
