Read moreMicah Makes Four! || Lexington, MA Newborn & Family Photography
Oh goodness, ready for some sweetness? A newly formed quad, Baby Micah's arrival allowed me to catch up with this lovely family:Just a few-couple years ago, I met this then-family-of-three when Miss Aleenah was born. For fun, we took a photo of Micah in one of the hats and wraps I'd photographed her in, and now, side by side.... (please note: not intended for sibling competition of "who wore it better"!;-))Funny sidenote is that Micah, at 9.5 lbs at his one week weigh in, (and his newborn session happened when he was almost 4 weeks), is the biggest little guy I've ever photographed. Which actually proved to be slightly problematic as many of my wraps were just too small for him! No matter - we employed some of his many available wraps. And then we convinced him, quite happily, I'd say, to show off his adorable faux hawk....And, as often happens at newborn sessions with older siblings, there was a bit of show stealing....Also, it's possible that Micah's dad did a little scene stealing of his own with his, um, gym time. (Look at how teeny Micah's head looks next to his dad's arm!)And lastly, look at this momma of two.... while the reality is that this shot was hard won (eh-hem, abundant incentives and tricks), she does make it look pretty good, doesn't she?Speaking of hard won....Congratulations you guys! So happy to be part of this second homecoming!
Love,
Ceilidh

Baby Finn!||Arlington, MA Newborn Photography
This peaceful little photo is my favorite from Baby Finn's session. Simple, understated, his sweet mouth slightly agape, he radiates calm.So, this is Baby Finn! (Yes, as a momma of a Finn myself, I really do admire his parent's taste in names ;-) )
His Papa is downright proud:His lips? Downright luscious:
His little fingers? Yup. Downright perfect:I love seeing how tiny this little guy is in his daddy's arms. A brand new little human, every miniature detail of his body perfect and worthy of awe.His lovely momma and I marveled (as I never tire of doing!) over the fact that her body put together this person.... truly, astonishing.Welcome to the world, Sweet Finn. Such a wonder to have you here!With much love,
Ceilidh

Leah and her Family||Watertown Newborn Photography
Hi friends! I'm feeling a bit giddy to share Miss Leah's newborn session with you.... partially, because, well, she is a perfect new little human (and I got to spend a good part of a day last week cooing and rocking her to sleep)........and partially because I absolutely adore her family, who I met a few years ago when Leah's big sister had her own newborn session. When I asked how big sister Vanessa was adapting to her new role, the answer was, "Fine! As long as we introduce Leah as *her* baby."Leah's momma wanted to make sure we created a really different look for this session than for Vanessa's, so we went with some bolder and brighter hues, including a favorite scarf of mine that we mcgyvered into a colorful swaddle. This momma of two worked hard (read: nursing gymnastics) to get us a snoozing Leah! We then got plenty of classic newborn portraits before she requested another snack break. Leah, at about 5 weeks, is considered an "older" newborn in the context of newborn photography, and while that means sleepy photos do tend to be more elusive, it also means I am usually able to capture more of little one's emerging personality. So there she is, all smirky and delightful, and I couldn't be more overjoyed to share these photos with her wonderful family. So happy for you four!
With so much love,
Ceilidh

Estelle has Arrived!||Boston Newborn and Family Session
I could count up the amount of times I've photographed this family, but I'd rather spend the time telling you about how much I adore them. A few years ago, I met them when Sullivan was just a sleepy, smiley little newborn with his own mini guitar. And now, Estelle is here, and has transformed them into the fabulous quad below.....I snuck over to their house early last Friday to catch big brother Sullivan before he headed off to daycare. Goofy little imp that he is, the photos of him and baby Estelle are basically brought to you by the magical power of jellybeans.Once dad brought the wild guy out to the confines of his carseat, it was time to get some shots of Miss Estelle: Tiny of the Hour. Little sweetpea snoozed and snoozed, making it nearly impossible for me to be done with the session. (I would have photographed her the whole day if that weren't totally impractical for all involved.)It's kind of hard to get over her amazing hair, no? Longtime followers of this blog (Hi, Momma! ) may remember my appreciation of this momma's gorgeous hair and amazing design sense from Sullivan's newborn session a few years ago. Neither quality has gone anywhere.....
When dad returned he gave us coffees and we handed over his daughter. We wanted to re-create a favorite photo from Sullivan's newborn session and Estelle was quite happy to oblige.Oh you guys... I am so thrilled for you! And also, for me, because we have two more sessions coming up this year. Let's hear it for First Year Package goodness! Woo-hoo!
Love,
Ceilidh

And Milo Makes Four||Andover, MA Newborn and Family Photography
Hi Everyone! Here's a brand new little guy for you to meet....... it's Milo!
Just a few little many years ago (eh-hem, twenty) I was in theater class with Milo's dad in high school! And now, many years later, Mister Milo is the second baby in this lovely, hilarious, theatrical family. Here he is with big sister Robin... (Robin was this tinynot all that long ago, too! Wild, right?)
I have a feeling this look of skepticism may be a frequent occurrence as Milo sorts out what his big sister is up to...
To this family that I am oh-so-fond of: you four are so dear to me, and I couldn't be happier to take photos of this adorable little guy.... Can't wait for six months!
Love,
Ceilidh

I Just Gave Birth, Don't Take My Picture!||Boston Newborn Photography
95% of the time I talk to pregnant or brand-new mommas about their little one's newborn session, they say something to me like, "But I don't have to be in the photos, right?"No. Of course you don't. But I am 100% sure that despite how exhausted, and physically not photogenic you may feel, I will be able to capture your beauty following the most miraculous thing your body has ever done: grow a brand new person!Truly, I have been photographing newborns for more than five years now, and there is never a photo session during which at some point I am not blown away by the sheer amazingness of what our bodies can do. So you may feel depleted, or like a giant balloon version of yourself. You may be unable to form sentences, let alone brush your hair, but I know that you are amazing, and I see how beautiful you are. And I'm going to show you - I promise.And if, -IF- I can't convince you to see you as I see you, you will never have to look at that photo again. But I'm willing to bet it will be one of your most treasured photos of the session. Mommas are beautiful, even if we can't feel it or believe it at times. Love,
Ceilidh

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

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

Pink for Victoria||Wellesley, MA Newborn Photography
Baby Victoria is here! Welcome, darling one.She joins two playful and energetic big brothers. Austin, the oldest, is ready to be protective and watchful, while Cam (whose newborn photos I took a few years back!) is a little less certain about how this new family dynamic is going to go. He's a bit shy with his baby sister right now, being very careful and gentle. (Side note: how adorable and perfect are his collection of bandaids? I find them most endearing).I think this new momma of three (!!) was ready to add some pink to the home! Victoria's fluffy pink tutu tried to steal the show a few times, but we (mostly) managed to keep it tamped down :-).One set of grandparents were on hand to be helpful and doting, and they happily had their photo taken with their newest little grand baby.
To this new family of five - congratulations! Victoria completes your family perfectly.
With love,
Ceilidh
