One of the best parts of my job is that I get to witness and document families grow.  Take these guys – remember when I photographed their first son Hudson coming into the world?  Well now it’s about 2 1/2 years later, and baby brother Bond is now in the mix.  They had me back to their townhouse in the South End to capture their life with the little guy.  Of course, Hudson stole the show in my eyes!  As I tell my clients, once a second child enters the mix, the newborn session often ends up being more “family” centered – less solo portraits of the baby – more action shots and candids of the entire gang.  But also, I just have a thing for toddlers.  They are so dynamic!  That is not to say Bond isn’t a handsome newborn – no doubt about that!  He seemed like a chill little guy who nicely balanced the high energy of Hudson.

So, we started at the home – shots in the nursery, parents bedroom, downstairs playing hockey, with Grandma – and then with some cookie bribery in play head out for a stroll on what turned out to be a lovely spring day.

And on that note – have a happy Memorial Day Weekend – even though it definitely does NOT feel like spring/summer!!

So – if you didn’t know already, I am a pending auntie of TWINS!!!  Yes, my brother and sister-in-law are expecting a baby boy and girl in late June/early July.  All our family and friends were in shock when we heard the news earlier this year, and this photo session has been in the works pretty much since that day.

I don’t really have much to say – pretty confident these images speak for themselves.  Everything is present – gorgeous and stylish couple (I mean, Jessica is just like “whoa”/smoking hawt!), incredibly cool new digs in Williamsburg (shout out to Sergio Mercado Design), and a lot of love and care in preparation for the  “Painbert” twins.  Countdown is ON.  Calvin and George are probably the most pumped even if they don’t know it yet…PINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPINPIN

Summer is finally here and it’s time to take advantage of the beautiful New England coast. Join me up in Cape Ann, about an hour north of Boston, where there are scenic beaches, meadows, woods and seaside villages for you and your children to explore.

Cape Ann includes neighboring towns each with their own individual charms. These include Rockport, Gloucester, Essex, Ipswich, and Manchester by-the-Sea. This area is the quintessential seaside destination for any family who enjoy summers in New England, and I am happy to offer guidance on specific locations.  To view sample beach sessions, click here.

I schedule these scenic shoots on select weeks in July and August only.  Please contact me for more information or to book a session!

Editorial headshots aren’t just for ladies – check out this awesome session of Christian Bale look-a-like.  Jim is a sustainable builder based in Cambridge.  He is super smart and has a modern, cool light-filled home just down the road from me.  I got to learn not only about himself and his family, but also the history of Danehy Park (ie. it was a literal dump), and also some cool Lacanian theory – this guy just knew too much about everything.  We also head over to his company, Linnean Solutions, based in Porter Square.

By the way, these photos were a gift from his wife.  Not a bad birthday gift, eh?  I think they deserve a magazine spread… : )
