Ok, don’t laugh at me. My vision for this shoot was with a garden backdrop but when I saw this amazing tree I fell in love. I mean isn’t a tree swing supposed to have a tree?!?! Well, I know “Enchanted Garden” sounds ridiculous now but that’s what it’s called!

Cutie Patooodie, right? This little cutie did not like her bow. But…what 1 year old does? I am in love with this picture and she even has her bow in! We had such a fun time and I’m sure you all would be rolling laughing if you saw what Mommy and I had to do to get this little girl smiling. Hilarious! Thank you for a fun session and enjoy your sneak peek!

Oh how Benjamin loved being at the studio! He loved it sooo much he wanted to stay all day!  He is such a cutie! I fell in love with his long toes and wrinkly skin! He is so long and all of his loose skin would bunch up into newborn goodness. Thank you for a wonderful session and here is a sneak peek!

The Easter duckling sessions are actually scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 19th and 20th.

Cash, isn’t that just the coolest name?? I love it! Mommy has an awesome name as well. And since we are on names, well…Daddy’s name is just Chris. Nothing too special but what a great family they are! You know, during newborn shoots (about 4 hours) we all get to know each other pretty well. They came from Saugus which is up north and not very close at all. Daddy had a special portrait that he wanted and I love the way it came out! The helmet pictured below with Cash traveled to Iraq with Daddy and is very special. Thank you both for a wonderful session, for coming so far to visit me and enjoy your sneak peek!

Sydney, oh how smart you are! This little girl blew me away! Maybe because I still think of her as a baby and she is growing up! She can recite “bah bah black sheep”, spell her name, and knows all of her ABC’s! I can’t remember when they are supposed to know that but she is so smart! Ok, back to the session. Well we went to the park for some tea party fun and balloons! I love the way these came out and am happy to know that Sydney enjoyed her afternoon with me. Mommy emailed me today and said that every morning she wakes up and one of the first things she says is “Tea party with Jessica?”. That’s my girl! Enjoy your sneak peek and as always, lovely seeing you two!

Tatum has grown so much since I saw her last. One of her portraits from her last session graces the studio walls and I love it! Here eyes are amazing and she is so cute. Well, she is now one and how else to celebrate your first birthday than with a cake smash?!?! Thank you both for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peak!

Clare, like all kids love to laugh at random things. At Clare’s first session with me she would crack up when you sang the “Elmo” song. Now her favorite thing to laugh at is when hit yourself or someone else on the head. She cracks me up! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Jillian is turning two! And to celebrate this she is having a cooking party! Little girls just love to do what Mommy does and helping in the kitchen is always fun. For her birthday invitations we decided to do a cooking scene and let her just have fun. She sure did and the cards turned out great! Happy Birthday Jillian!!

Believe it or not Sarah was my very first maternity client! Her and Andrew were such troopers and we took pictures for hours! I guess I may add that Andrew was forced happy to be there. Of course this was a few years ago and now she has an adorable son Chase and another baby boy on the way. Sarah and I have become great friends and have so much fun when we are able to spend time together. I know she’s been waiting to see these and I am in love with them all. Thank you Sarah for our wonderful friendship, congratulations and I hope nothing but good memories come from your delivery! Muah!

Dane absolutely cracks me up! I love his big blue eyes and his gummy smile. This shoot fit Dane to the T. Dane IS a rock star! I love these shots and had a super fun time at the session. Enjoy your sneak peek and as always lovely to see the family!

I had a great time with baby Charlotte and her family at their shoot. She has the chubbiest of thighs and the cutest cheeks! You can learn more about baby Charlotte and her family HERE. Thank you all for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

This little girl graces the front page of my website and is the main subject of my absolute favorite portrait to date! You can see her newborn shoot here. The last picture is just as cute as her newborn with all of Daddy’s gear! She is now almost 4.5 months old and the cutest thing ever! If you ask her Mom she’s the biggest baby around, lol. I love all of these chunkers coming in, I can just pinch them all day long! Thank you guys for coming in through all of that rain and even dealing with the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard! It sounded like it was right outside our door! Not only that but the power went out for a minute and we all just looked at each other like OMG! Anyhow, we had a great time and look at her! G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! The pearl that she has on are a very special momento from her late Great Grandmother’s jewelry collection as well. (Correct me if I’m wrong…)

Melia, Melia, Melia! I have grown so fond of this little girl! I remember the first time she came in and Mom was so worried about her “funny smile”. We all know that stage around 2-3 years old when they cheese so hard you can see their molars! Well, Melia smiled so beautifully for me and to this day does amazing! She is just the sweetest little girl. I love the last one because it is so “her”! Thank you guys!

Nicolas came in yesterday and was full of smiles! I love all of his chunky-ness! Rolls galore! This is one of the best stages to have professional portraits done because they are full of giggles and smiles, can sit pretty well and are just plain ole’ happy! Thank you for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

I didn’t think that my day could get any better until Mary and Michelle came through the door. These are not normal children, they are amazing! The listen to every thing you say. They follow directions! They smile perfect. They are adorable. You want me to go on? I won’t, I’ll let you see for yourself! Thank you for a fun, wonderful session!! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Clare was so cute! I love that Mommy had her put her hands together for the angel poses. She looks adorable as usual and we had a lot of fun! Thank you again for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

These two always steal my heart. Baby Tony is now 3 months old and has grown so much since his newborn session. He giggles and laughs at me. He cuddles and drools. He’s an all-around awesome little man and I’m proud to be friends with his family so I can squeeze his thighs whenever I want! His big sister Nessa takes extremely good care of him and oh.my.goodness has this little girl turned into a big girl. She turned 4 just this month and when she got to the shoot she got up in front of the camera and WORKED IT! Good job Nessa! Enjoy your sneak peek!  (I just couldn’t pick 2 or 3!)

Andrew loves to have fun. And to eat. Hey! We have 2 things in common! He’s at that age where he’d rather play than take pictures and once we start playing we get those yummy, genuine smiles that I love! Check him out! Thanks for another fun session and enjoy your sneak peek!

Kain! You can see by the pictures that Kain and I are best buddies. I love making him laugh and he seems to like it as well! I was so excited to see him and he started my day off with a bang! He’s grown so much in the past 2 months and I even think he was flirtin’ with me. Look at that second picture! Thank you for bringing him in and enjoy your sneak peek. Happy first Valentine’s Day Kain!
