Read moreEmmie is Six Months!||Jamaica Plain Baby and Family Photography
Can you believe that Miss Emmie is already at her six month milestone? This cutie pie and big sister Claire are a bundle of darling-ness and *energy*! (I truly am in awe of their parents for managing to organize five photos sessions in the past few years with two kiddos under the age of three! No easy feat!) Can you get over those kissable lips and adorable toes?
Emmie is less interested in sitting, and bypassing that to just scooch herself around (although she could balance herself for a bit!)Miss Claire is looking like such a big girl, and yet,just a few short years ago..... All adults present fought diligently to get a family photo..... I used up *all* of my photographer tricks, and they both pulled out all the stops. We ended up with this as the most traditional one, but the entire series is quite the entertaining narrative....One short, quiet moment amid the chaos.... Also hard fought: a photo of these sisters.....
Happy Holidays to you four! I can't wait to see you again in the summer!
Love,
Ceilidh
The parents of these cuties did one of my favorite things.... got my Year of Loveliness package for both little Emmie and her big sister Claire. With this package, I come and photograph your little one and family three times during the first year, and present you with a gorgeous heirloom album after the first birthday session. This is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, grandparents, and your tiny person! It's also a way to save a bit on your photography investment, which is, of course, always a nice thing!
I do suggest booking as soon as you've decided that I'm the photographer for you. It’s never too early to contact me about a future session – I generally schedule a few months out – 617-480-0387 or cwy@willowbabystudios.com

I’d be honored to capture lovely photos of your favorite people soon.

Neil has the Best Cheeks!||Newborn and Family Photography
Soooooo, HERE'S a super cutie! Meet Neil, the winner of Best Baby Cheeks! At just about 5 weeks old, this little guy is actually not so little..... at 12 pounds and super alert, he is oh-so-ready to join his big brother in all sorts of mischief!Seeing their expressions as they check each other out makes me chuckle....
And now, I present this lovely Momma of two:
Clearly Neil is a BIG fan - he couldn't stop smiling at her!
Neil's Dad was able to sneak out of work early to join his amazing family..... After all the fun and excitement, Neil finally gave into sleep. He rewarded us with calm chubby cheeky perfection!
His momma and I already started scheming up next session ideas, and I'm so excited to watch this cutie grow. I can't wait to see Neil and his brother as they begin to play together. I have a feeling they are going to be quite the duo to behold :-)
Congrats to you four.... it was wonderful to be on hand to capture this amazing time for your family!
All the best,
Ceilidh

Little Guys on the Go!||Lincoln, MA Family Photography
At the beginning of this session, when these two cutie pies were still getting a sense of what was going on and who this goofy lady with the camera and a stuffed lion on her head was all about, we got a few shots of them sitting still.
It didn't hurt that they were entirely outnumbered: five full sized humans encouraging them to sit for just another shot or two :-)
And then, their grandparents, visiting from warm Texas, needed to go inside to fight off the fall chill. Which left myself and Chase and Carter's parents to try and keep up with their adventures.... exploring the garden, finding beautiful leaves, following the wild turkeys, wandering far, far, far down their quiet street....Every once in awhile their parents grabbed them up, while I captured the delight and.... skepticism....And just before heading inside, this lovely momma caught her baby for a sneaky smooch.
Such a joy to help you all get your holiday photos done! Thank you for choosing me as your photographer :-)
With love,
Ceilidh

Late Autumn Hugs||Arlington MA Family Photography
The colder it is, the more essential the photo shoot snuggles..... although this family is pretty affectionate with one another and I'm pretty sure we would have gotten some great shots even without all the chilly fall wind encouraging closeness.Not only were we contending with the bitter wind, the clouds were having a field day keeping the sun from warming us up = group hugs!We did get one little peek of sunlight, which felt as fortuitous as all the kiddos holding hands *at the same time* in the shot below. Each of these characters had a few solo shots taken, which allowed me to hear about the amazing variety of their imaginings - each one shared with me their ideas of what the red leaves looked like (and I got four different answers! Now - with "busy season brain" don't ask me what they all were cause that info is no longer in my head!) The photo below is my new favorite sibling shot - I lucked out with these cuties!Thank you all for braving that chilly day - I think we did a pretty awesome job of making the best of it!
Love,
Ceilidh

Ana and David Got Married!||Waltham, MA Family Photography
The lovely momma below approached me about photographing a very special day for her family.... the official celebration of the wedding of her and her longtime partner, David. Along with their two daughters, they had an intimate ceremony at City Hall, and afterwards they bestowed upon me the honor of taking this especially important family photo session.Ana embraced her wedding day with joy and humor, and was very excited to refer to David for the first time in their nine years as her husband.Her older daughter couldn't have been happier - or more excited about twirling in her fancy dress! - although she did take a good moment to tease her parents about their honeymoon plans sans children. Their darling one year old took the affair quite seriously, including her inspection of Momma's bouquet.
Ana - thank you so very much for inviting me to take part in this day of yours. It was flattering to be chosen, and quite an honor indeed.
And to Ana, David, and your daughters... congratulations to you four! May so much joy continue to bless your family.
Love,
Ceilidh

2016 Fall Mini Sessions! ||Boston Child & Family Photography
This fall's mini sessions brought a few new faces, and many familiar ones, who braved some fierce wind and chilly weather. The cooler the weather, the more essential the snuggling - which, in my opinion, is never a bad thing (to clarify: snuggling is always fabulous, chilly weather can decidedly be kind of a bummer). From snazzy dressed boys who claimed to be lawyers, to crazy winds that threatened everyone with long hair, to a tree stump covered in crazy orange mushrooms (nicknamed the "Trump Stump") this year's mini sessions brought many new superlatives.... including a rescheduling record of no less than 3 different dates due to the hurricane induced rain.One of the cuties below I've been photographing every year since he was a year old and the little miss in pigtails I last saw when she was ten days old. It makes me so very happy to see these kiddos grow bigger, sassier, silly and more talkative....Little goofballs, toddling twins, and mini-movie stars all showed up for their photos.Sun-kissed and snuggly is the way to go, if the opportunity arises....
To all the families that joined me this year - it's such a joy to help you get your holiday season started!
Thank you for taking part.
With love & gratitude,
Ceilidh

Curious about mini sessions? They are a fabulous way to get stunning family photos just in time for holiday gifts and cards, with a smaller time and financial commitment than a full length session. Held every fall (and sometimes one other time throughout the year), sign-ups are first announced to my loyal newsletter readers, so jump on over here to get yourself on the list!

Connor's Cuteness||Dedham, MA Newborn & Family Photography
Here's baby Connor! A-not-so-tiny newborn with an adorable sleepy smile and the best little newborn hair whorl I've ever had the honor of photographing.
A few years ago, I took his sister's newborn photos. Now, Miss Hailey is the big kid - three years old, and settling in to her new role as big sister. Let's just say she's embracing her new role with a LOT of energy. And incredible story-telling skills! (she needed a break during the session, and it involved spinning quite a tale for myself and her parents). As for their parents? They stayed impressively calm and collected during the various photo session shenanigans. Ages 2-4 tend to be the hardest to photograph, and when parents get (understandably) stressed about how the session is going, it tends to just rev the kids up more. But these two embraced the chaos, and we ended up with some pretty cute - yet realistic! - moments captured.
Congrats on becoming a family of four!
Fondly,
Ceilidh

Naaz Sits!||Baby & Family Photography
Remember this sweet pea? It's Naaz!!! She still rocks the darling headband her momma had for her to wear to her first session, and her full head of newborn hair has turned into these luscious curls. Naaz is now over six months, and sitting up like a champ. Despite her getting over being sick recently, she did an amazing job with her photo session. Her adorable smile in the family photo below makes me quite happy indeed :-)She *loved* being held up in the air like this. And her conversation with daddy made her very thoughtful indeed!
Just as her newborn session was attended by extended family, this sitting session was also a full gathering of many adults who adore her dearly. Her Auntie, who schemed up the amazing surprise gift of the First Year Package, is clearly over the moon for her baby niece.
Surrounded by her parents, an aunt & uncle, and one set of her grandparents, darling Naaz has an amazing base of caring grownups.
Darling girl! You are so blessed with such a wonderful family, and your family is so blessed to have you! I can't wait to see you again for your 1 year session..... Love,
Ceilidh

Fresh Pond Frolicking||Cambridge, MA Family Photography
Ready for a serious dose of cute? Here's Arthur:And, um, there's more. Here he is being thoughtfully snuggled by big sister Ava. The sweetness of this family doesn't stop there either. That's right! It's Ava-led story time.... The dad of these cuties noticed the lovely texture of this tree and was excited to snuggle his little guy in front of it. This next photo is brought to you by the magic of stickers, promises of blue m&ms and a little performance of "Let it Go" (from Frozen, of course)..... (Despite a small run in with a large branch, Miss Ava was more than ready to sing for us!) Such a beautiful early fall evening with this darling family! I'm so happy to have had the honor of being the your first "Family of Four" photographer!
A postscript for you all:
It's only mid-September, but holiday cards and gifts will be needed oh-so-soon! And you know what is one of the best presents ever for the grandparents? A new photo of their grandkid(s)!
