Bellini Portraits » Bellini Portraits : Boston Newborn Photographer, Boston Children's Photographer, Boston Family Photographer, Boston Maternity Photographer

It seemed that a dose of bright sun and temps above 40 really did a lot of mental goodness for everyone today.  Facebook was flooded with posts about windows being open, kids playing outside, and I gathered a general sense of happiness across the board for all fellow New Englanders.  I, too, had the windows open and was excited to get the dogs out for a longer walk than normal.  Dare I say I was even a little *warm* on my way back home??  I believe it’s safe to assume that the last of the snow has fallen and spring bulbs will soon be blossoming.  That is, of course, once what’s left melts but with temps going into the low 50’s on Wednesday I think we should be seein’ some grass in a couple of weeks. 

Wednesday ushers in warm temps and sends me south on my way to Naples, Florida.  I will be photographing this beautiful family once again, but this time we’ll be shooting at the beach at sunset–one of my favorite times and places.  Here is a lifestyle session I captured in their gorgeous abode back in November when Lily was about 6 weeks old.  Her belly was bothering her so mom did her best to comfort her and keep her snug.  I usually make it down to Naples once or twice per year, so if you’re in the area and interested in setting up a session I’d love to hear from you!

Enjoy!

    ms. lily : boston baby photographer - Bellini Portraits MA - […] March I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mama (see here and here) and her baby girl again.  We found the perfect dress for her beach session; gossamer […]

For those who follow my blog, undoubtedly you are very familiar with this GORGEOUS family!  I am so excited for them as they await baby number three.  The girls will be getting a little brother!  I’ll be back to Boston to do their newborn session next month.  Feels like she just told me they were expecting again–everyone else’s pregnancies go so much faster than your own seemed to, right?!  We had a lot of fun and the ones of them somersaulting crack me up because of how amused mom looks 🙂

    pt - OK, these are one of the most gorgeous images I have ever seen, have you thought about mentoring, amazing work, well done.

For what feels like an eternity of chaos, today marks the day that I believe we are back to routine and normalcy.  It’s been a crazy ride since the start of Christmas vacation.  Blizzards and winter storms galore, we have reached just about 100″ in eastern Massachusetts from the end of January & February alone.  6 snow days, 5 sicks days and then two cancelled school days because of a roof collapse at my son’s elementary school.  This forced a total shut down of the school and a move of K-3 to the middle school and middle school children to the high school.  An incredible feat in such a short amount of time of 2-3 days!  With that said, both of my kiddos are back to school today and here I sit contemplating how the heck it already got to be noontime?!  The calm is a welcome change and I feel like now we are on the downward spiral into spring.  Is it too early to feel that way?  Did I jinx it? 😉

Just before Christmas I photographed this pretty mama and her beautiful little angel.  When she told me of their struggles to conceive, she really has proven to be their miracle baby.  She opted to do a lifestyle session when Mary was three weeks old.  These sessions really focus on the love and interaction between mother and child–and dad, too, if he chooses!  These are so special and set apart from studio-style because the baby is typically between 3-6 weeks old when they are more alert and their personalities are starting to shine through.  It always amazes me how their gaze follows me around the room and I get direct eye contact, even so young.  I am busy, BIZAY, with maternity and newborn shoots this month and next.  If you’d like to book your session or learn more about the types of sessions I offer, please contact me via email for details.

Enjoy!

Do you remember this beautiful mama’s maternity session?  I think it was the first time I got a client into the water–it was so worth it and such an amazing shoot!  I realize I had yet to post her follow up newborn session from October 2013 with baby Eva and big sister Mason.  After this I will be caught up on 2013 sessions and will continue sessions from last year.  I will get caught up, promise, so if you haven’t seen your session yet it’s definitely in the works!  

Mom opted to do a session when Eva was a little beyond the typical age for a newborn portrait session, when her personality was beginning to show and real interaction could be made between all.  Lifestyle sessions are definitely my favorite when it comes to newborn sessions for those reasons exactly.  What I really love is the love you can almost feel coming from big sis.  It’s so very special that Eva has such a doting big sister as her protector, friend and role model.  Pretty nice that she’s old enough to be a  little mommy’s helper, too 😉
