B is for Beautiful

A lot of people dream of this kind of golden sunshine for their sessions, and while me and Mother Nature will always do our best to oblige, it takes a special kind of warmth for the gold to stay. The B family and I had a very cheerful session, munching on pretzels in between navigating the labyrinth of sea grass now so overgrown and lush at Phillips Beach. Their two kiddos are just days different in age to my own and so it is great fun and a familiar challenge to have them sit still in the same place. But then again... who really wants a picture of their babies sitting still? It would look nothing like them. Enjoy these warm and natural highlights from our September session. And don't be surprised if you see these pretty faces in a magazine sometime soon...

Days gone by

I've been a little busy. Well, a lot busy, but it's awesome, humbling and I thank you. Some days ago, I had the great privilege of photographing this fine family that 01945 recently inherited. Lucky, lucky us. They became fast friends of pretty much this whole town and I hope they stay a long, long time. Mr. B Jr. and KK are as golden as the sunshine on their smiles, and their parents are pretty fab, too.

H family

Look at these three. A trio etched out of Heaven. And truly the salt of this Earth. Lucky are we to call this family our friends. They are new to Marblehead but you'd never know. The size of their hearts and depth of their spirits have made the entire town flock to their backyard. I heard someone joke that Mom was going to run for Mayor of Marblehead. She would win, don't ya know. Anyway, we were blessed with this perfect early-summer's night. The light so gentle and warm and Phillips beach was in all its glory. Taking photos of friends is quite fantastic. An evening spent giggling and running through waves. Capturing the laughs you have come to cherish and seeing those little smile lines and dimples set in stone before you. What a joy.

S boys

Sometimes the light, the mood, the people... they are all just perfect. It's been hit and miss with the weather this Spring, that's for sure, and I've got a backlog of sessions as long as my frontlog (well, you get it) but this Sunday evening shoot brought the glow. No questions asked. Two boys and their fab mama. Lucky, lucky little men. We ran, jumped, hula-hooped, fell and got back up again and their little personalities and lovely smiles shine through it all.

C Cheer

The 147 images I cannot narrow down will tell you how photogenic, delightful and perfect this family of four was. It was a great treat to photograph these beautiful and smart older girls, full of giggles, energy and mischief. I love every age for all of their unexpected challenges and rewards, but having been a school teacher for all those years, these kiddos were a treat. The warmth of the C fam made this wet and misty day joyful and perfect. To view the slideshow, click here. You can't not smile.

The P Three

Just about the nicest family you can imagine! If these photos don't make you smile, well maybe you should just call these guys. The camera loved this terrific family of three so much, as did I, that they have 159 keeper images to take home. Can you even imagine? I just don't know where to start for this post, but I hope you love the pics as much as I do...

comme ci, comme ça

It's hailing like crazy here! This time yesterday we were soaking up the sun at Phillips Beach. Gosh, I love it there. And the forecast says there's hope for the rest of the Spring sessions this week... 4 sessions! Amazing. Yet this rollercoaster ride of my other amour (aka Pete Bouchard) ... INCROYABLE. The sun will shine again... I promise. And this gorgeous seagrass will be even more beautiful as it grows with this plentiful supply of eau.
