Boston Newborn and Family Portraits – Amara Cohen Photography bio picture
  • Who Am I?

    Hello, thanks for checking out my blog!
    Here's a little bit about me...
    I love fall and spring, not crazy about the really cold days of winter or really hot days of summer. I get to be a wife to a fabulous, wonderful man (whom I have known since high school), we have two beautiful (or should I say handsome) boys, and the best chocolate labradoodle.
    I have always loved taking photos, making sure I have the memories of those perfect days with family and friends, or even the just the times when I can capture an image without the subject knowing I am there!
    I love to capture the simple moments, like the quiet times when a child is contemplating the big mysteries of life, or the huge moments, like the first smiles of a baby. My favorite photos are those that capture your family as who they really are.

    If you think my portrait style is what you are looking for, call me and we can book a session!

Hockey Mom | Boston Newborn and Family Photographer

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted so I thought I would post a little bit about what I have been up to. Well, a trip to Disney World, school vacation, and hockey. If you had asked me a year and a half ago if I ever thought I was going to spend my evenings and weekends watching my kids play hockey and I would answer, “yeah, right” in my sarcastic tone. Well so much for that! I now spend my weeknights and weekends watching my kids play hockey, and it is great! It is a fun sport to watch (not crazy about the pros and the fighting, or the possibility of my kids getting hurt), but it is fast and a great work out, and my husband is coaching one of the teams, which really makes it a family affair! My boys love to play and can’t get enough of it themselves. Even when they don’t have practice they want to go ice skating. I don’t know what will happen next month when the season ends. So this past weekend, my older son and his team had the chance to play during intermission during a Providence Bruins game – what a thrill it was for him. He was nervous before going on the ice, but soon got in the groove of it and really enjoyed the experience. I was able to bring my camera and zoom lens with me and caught a few action shots!

Newborn J | Boston {& Brookline} Newborn, Child, and Family Photographer

Wow is all I can say about this photo session. This little boy was so good, I can’t say he slept the whole time, but he was so peaceful. There was a feeling of calm around him, which was such a wonderful feeling to be around! Along with J, I captured some beautiful images with his mom and grandmother (just in from South Africa!). I love the photos with him and his grandmother – so special. I was so honored to take the photos, because J’s mom is a fabulous photographer herself. In fact, once she is settled into being a mom of three (two older girls), my family is heading out with her to have her take our family photos, which I can’t wait for.

 

He is so sweet! Love your clean processing and that hat is adorable!

Amara I was the priveleged one! It was such fun watching you work your magic, you captured such special moments & handled J so gently. We will cherish these photos now & in years to come, thank you! I look forward to photographing you & your “boys!”
