Project 12 {Bloom} | Boston Children and Family Photographer

The theme for this month’s Project 12 is Bloom. This was a hard one for me to think of what I wanted to show. Of course I could have gone with flowers, newborns, babies or some other spring like thing, but then I read the blog entry for Heather McGinnis Photography for her Project 12, and I knew what I had to use (thank you Heather).

Yesterday was lacrosse day at my house – two boys, two games, same time, two parents. I got to see my older son’s game, and photograph it as well, while my husband coached our younger son’s game. Our older son has been playing for 4 years, and has worked at his skills, but this year something has just clicked for him. I was so happy to be at yesterday’s game, because he finally accomplished his biggest hope in lacrosse – to score a goal! And he did in style, with three of them for a hat trick! Something has just Bloomed with him this year – his confidence and it is making such a difference in how he plays. He has definitely bloomed on the field, but I can really see who he is becoming as a young man, not a little boy he used to be.

Family of Five | Boston {Brookline} Family Photographer

If you live in New England you have to be ready for the weather to change with a blink of an eye. Well last weekend we had some warning that rain was finally going to come, unfortunately it was coming when I was supposed to photograph this fabulous family of five. We were able to change the session to the day before the rain, before many birthday parties planned for the day! (Oh, did I mention we had already reschedule due to a fun stomach bug one of the kids had the previous weekend.) Woke up Saturday, and it was cloudy, which is perfectly fine for photographs – nice consistent light, but during the session the sun would make an appearance giving us some beautiful morning light to work with. Sometimes working with kids can be like the weather in New England, one minute they are standing and smiling in front of you, all together, then next off they go onto the next thing without worrying about becoming a blur in the camera!

This family was so much fun to work with and get to know – so relaxed, happy, loving and silly! No one was worried about hair blowing in front of their faces, who was smiling or who was sticking out their tongue, it all worked. It also helped that everyone of them shined in front of the camera! Thank you for letting me capture your family on a breezy Saturday morning! I am looking forward to getting to know you all as the years go on.

And I just had to add this silly one it (one of the first of the day)!
