Camera Love

Going back for a second shoot is always so much fun. I was so thrilled to get to go back for a more formal shoot after a very sweet and intimate shoot about a month ago. This little one was giving the camera some serious love. Cute kids always make my job so easy (and fun) but she went above and beyond.

A few more

When I start editing a shoot, I pick a few favorites and put them up on my blog, but inevitably, I miss some that become favorites. As I finished up editing this shoot, I found a couple that I really love, especially the one on the swings. Part of the reason I love this shot so much is that it captures the Brit in Bel. It feels very Christopher Robin and I like that.

December

I love that in Boston we just tend to adapt to the cold and make the most of days that are not below zero? The first of December was a chilly but beautiful morning but the chilly weather was certainly not much of a hindrance for this shoot -- just an incentive for tea before and after.

What strikes me most about Dan and Hannah is their friendship with each other. I always notice this when I am around them. Their sweet boys definitely feed off of this and the result is a home filled with love and a lot of fun. I enjoyed listening to their songs, stories, and their play.

...and they keep getting bigger

this sweet little boy was such a first peanut when I first met him (when he was born!) and he just keeps growing and changing. One thing that remains the same is his enormous and adorable brown eyes. What a sweet and precious little person! Oh, and the little sweater that he was wearing was his dad's when he was a baby. What a great grandmother to save it and pass it down!

Cute kids + Cute Clothes + Ecofriendly + Fun = HATCHED

As promised a few months ago, here are the Hatched products IN ACTION... and these kiddos were, in fact, nonstop action. It was great! They were so into exploring the very cool magical land of Franklin Park that they forgot that I was taking pictures and got lost in their land of dragons and other magical things!

There are many types of cute clothes that work well for pictures... but what I love about Hatched is that their clothes work well for PLAY and are really cute too (oh and will last long enough to be handed down - alot). Their clothes, shoes and toys are really adorable, well made, and are easy on the environment.

Enjoy the pics! And thanks Liz and gang for such a fun morning!

5.13s

This little guy is already the coolest kid on the block -- not only was he born at home but he has amazing parents (who are totally in love with him) and will, no doubt, be playing guitar, riding motorcycles and rock climbing by the time he is 5. Most of these pictures were taken when this little person was just 36 hours old! He was so alert and completely enthralled with everything happening around him - he did not want to miss one minute!
