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

Those of you who know me or have been following my blog know that I’ve been having some problems with my back and neck.  I’ve been in PT for a few weeks and I’m soooo much better than I was at the beginning of March.  Being injured, I had to postpone some of my shoots.  So I give a big “Thank You” to clients for being so patient with me!  I had a shoot today with a 4 month old baby girl who was born 5 weeks early.   She is a tiny little thing compared to my son who was born just three days before her!  But what a BIG smile–when she decided she would give a few up for me, that is!!  🙂  She was in and out of being totally alert and happy and then sound asleep–which really works for a 3-4 month old shoot.  It’s an awkward age to photograph because they are well out of the  newborn stage when they are sleepy and curled and before the sitting 6 month old stage and aren’t always so great on their tummies which can be limiting.  So, if they sleep I do get to treat it somewhat like a newborn shoot.  If only we had scheduled the shoot yesterday when it was NINETY degrees…I tried for some environmental shots outdoors but the cool wind wouldn’t let up so we kept her as comfortable and wrapped as possible.  Alas, she awoke and was ready for lunch.  The tutu shot is for mom who really wanted to try it.  Enjoy!!

    Auntie B. - This delicious child is a gift given to my neice, my friend and her wonderful husband. We couldn’t be luckier to welcome her into our family. She joined two older siblings at home and how pleased everyone is to have this miracle in our lives.

I’m kinda laughing as I’m writing this.  My husband hates when people say, “that’s redonkulus” for “that’s ridiculous”.  I don’t blame him–it is kind of silly, but funny for me at the same time.  So, how ’bout “rununculus” instead, honey?! 🙂  Peonies are my absolute FAVORITE flowers but these, I must say, are a very close 2nd.  I adore the colors and the funny shaped stems and how they go this way and that as they wish….Happy Tuesday!

April 1st…do you also have the tradition of saying “Rabbit Rabbit” on the first day of every month?  It’s supposed to be the first thing you say when you wake up and it should bring you a month of luck.  I happened to remember this morning at 4am while I was feeding the baby.  So, we’ll see how fortunate I am this month!  Today we have an Easter egg hunt at a friend’s house and my 3 year old is “super excited“–yes, those are his exact words 🙂  Since I could never post without including images here are a couple of beauties.  The first, a shot inside a little girls room that I photographed.  I like to photograph different elements inside a client’s home as they are nice to add to the storybooks that I design and offer.  Second, another little girl I photographed.  I didn’t realize until much later that her iris has the shape of a flower.  Can you say AMAZING??  I felt these were very springy and appropriate.  Also, and most importantly, I’ve completely UPDATED MY WEBSITE. I literally spent 14 hours at my desk yesterday.  It’s no wonder I have neck and back problems!!  Please head over and take a look.  There are a ton of new photos.  It’s a major overhaul, people.  You won’t be disappointed.  I would love to hear your feedback, too.  Thanks so much and have a great day! xo

    michele dyson - Yup. I adore your work…..your tones, use of light – your subjects. SO very beautiful:) Found you through Simply Bloom…

Seriously?  The rain hasn’t stopped in 2 days.  Our backyard looks less like grass and more like a pond.   It’s not even April yet so we can’t use the “April Showers Bring May Flowers” adage.  The one good thing about the rain?  Clearly, it’s that I get to wear my wellies.  Don’t get me wrong–I actually wear them rain or shine.  I practically live in them.  But at least people don’t look at me funny when I’m clopping around in them when it’s dry and beautiful 🙂  One more day of this and then it’s clearing and we are in store for a GORGEOUS string of days including an 80 degree forecast on Saturday.  Whoot.

    christy - What a lovely image that tells a story. I love your work!!

As an addition to my last post about looking for a newborn model, I thought it would be nice to add some of my favorite newborn images.  There are even more than this but I don’t want to overwhelm you.  So I say proceed with caution if you are anxious to have a baby, add to your exisiting family or just love you some newborns 🙂 because you are about to embark on newborn lusciousness.  If you’re looking for the info on the newborn “contest” please scroll down to the next post.  Thanks everyone, enjoy these and have a wonderful weekend!! xoxo
