Mathias and his baby blues.. (rockin' his lederhosen in the big city)

Meet my new little buddy, Mathias!  Seriously.... he looks at you with his baby blues and you're DONE for.  Now, normally it takes kids a little bit to warm up to this new lady with a camera attached to her face.   Not Mathias!  He was instantly mesmerized and we were buds right away.

We hung out at their place in the gorgeous back bay.  It was that totally, unexpectedly 60 degree November day.. so we headed out to Comm Ave to play in some leaves (which was my favorite thing to do until raking my yard last weekend.  I'm so over it).  And then it was time for Mathias to change into his lederhosen!  Just wait until you see how cute he is in them!  I can't even handle it.

Without further adieu.. here's Mathias!

Just doin' some people watching..

love love LOVE this...

Gorgeous, Lauren!

::sigh::

And here comes the lederhosen!  I love it....  so freakin' cute

The one on the right kills me.  He's all "psshhh  I know I look good"

Wait for iiiitttttt....

Without fail... the kids always stick their tongue out at me at the end.  I think it's a conspiracy!  And I'm totally ok with it.

And he thinks its hilarious!

Lauren & Martin... he is just so adorable!  Thank you and I hope you love them!

Sean and Ryan (and their adorable lil pup)

How's everyone holding up back at work after the holiday???  Regretting that last piece of pie?   Well hopefully this will cheer you up!

I hadn't known Lia and her adorable boys before this shoot, but I am so glad that the amazing world of  "a friend of a friend of a friend" got us in touch.  Because wait until you see their sweet  boys!  I headed over to their absolutely gorgeous home and she instantly made me feel at home.  Poor Ryan wasn't feeling so well but, looking back at these shots now, you'd never know!  (I swear I'm glad no one will ever record one of my sessions and the crazy antics that come out of both me and mom or dad to get a laugh...while the kids look at us like we have 12 heads.  But, hey... thats why I love this.

Anyway - Meet big brother Sean and sweet little Ryan!

Such a good big brother.. .showing Ryan how to smile!

So handsome, Sean... Lia, you guys are soooo in trouble someday!

Sean so graciously let Ryan play with his Matchbox cars...  think he's excited?!!

 

All four-legged family members should be in pictures too, if you ask me!

Sweet little Ava is One...let's (delicately)smash a cake!

Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving! I'm sure you are all lounging on the couch digesting the multiple rounds of turkey and stuffing (and going back for more right about now maybe? Don't be shy...)

And what better way to end the holiday weekend than with adorable little Ava! Seriously, I challenge you all to find me a happier little girl.  She was all smiles from the time I walked in the door and I was instantly in love.  I can't believe she's one already!  I feel like Sonia was just awaiting her arrival yesterday.  But we've been talking about doing Ava's pictures for what feels like ages and her birthday was the perfect time.  I mean, really... it's an excuse for a girl wear a fluffy tu-tu and I am ALL for that.   We headed to a park down the street from Sonia and Gary's house and just let her do her thing.  And she knows how to work it :)

So glad we finally got to do this!  Ava is perfect and the three of you make the most beautiful family!  So without anymore of my yapping... here's adorable Ava!

And the whole gorgeous family!

 Ava's birthday dance

Sonia and Gary... can you guys get any cuter?

I had no part of this... Gary just swept her right up without thinking twice.  I love LOVE :)

And now... it was finally time to get Miss Ava into her birthday tu-tu!

"ALL for ME?!?!"

"This is good stuff... you gotta try this!"

Sonia and Gary - Thank you!   Hope you love them!!!

Double the cuteness and their adorable big sister! Meet Evelyn, Alyssa and Vivian!

I was soooo excited when Linda contacted me about capturing the beginning of their life as a family of five!  TWINS!  I couldn't wait to meet them and their adorable 3 year old big sister.  They are just such a beautiful family and were nothing but welcoming to me in their home.  Thank you so much!  I can only imagine the hectic-ness of have twins and a 3 year old at the same time.  But you guys seem to do it so effortlessly.  It was such an honor to be able to capture this time for you.  You have three gorgeous girls who adore you both and that's what life is really all about.    I hope you guys will look at these pictures years from now and always remember this time like it was yesterday!   And I'm so glad Hurricane Sandy left just in time for us to do this!

Meet Evelyn!

And Alyssa!

And their big sister, Vivian!

These are how family pictures should be if you ask me... full of real moments

Must be the twin telepathy already kicking in... "stick your tongue out... ready.... GO"

Already giggling together .... best friends for life :)
