Newborn Photographer Boston :: Newborn Baby Girl B!

Kate McKenna — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:07:38 +0000

Snuggly, cuddly and sleepy! 3 words to describe beautiful 10 day old newborn Baby Girl B. She was a dream to photograph. Her family of Mom, Dad and older brother K headed to the photography studio for these special professional newborn photos. Ahhh, the sibling photograph at a newborn photography session. I should rephrase. The sometimes elusive sibling photograph at a newborn photography session. It’s best if newborns are sleeping for their session so sometimes involving a slightly older sibling can be like lighting firecrackers in the studio. However, not this time! Older brother K was a dream! He sat next to the basket she was in, hugged the basket, looked at his baby sister lovingly, and bent down to give her a kiss. All with a perfectly adorable smile on his face … a model, model! Congratulations Mom + Dad on the new addition!

I’ve been waiting to share Jayden’s newborn baby pictures with you! It is not for any particular reason that I have been waiting, except that it’s the fall and Crabapple Photography is absolutely SLA-aamed. But in a good way. Never-the-less, I’m psyched to show you these photos. You might remember the maternity photos incorporating blocks of letters spelling out Jayden’s name. Here are the blocks again, except we can see Jayden this time For these new baby photos, I headed to Lynnfield, Massachusetts. I have a million favorites from this session, but tried my best to keep the post manageable … I hope you like them too.

Meet Baby D-Mac! He is the cutie baby brother to the adorable Baby Girl D. If you follow this photo blog regularly, you may remember her from a very precious 1st birthday cake smash session. Check out Baby Boy’s pink plump little lips! The cutest. Newborn details are some of my favorite photos. This little dude’s hands and feet will never be so small! Look at his tiny little finger nails and knuckles. Not something I would normally ever describe as “cute”, these knuckles are just that. Enjoy!

OMG. Meet baby Cooper. The cuteness of this baby boy lives up to his adorable name. I guess that’s not surprising considering who his older brother is. This family is certainly near and dear to my heart. I have photographed maternity photos, baby #1 since birth, now baby #2, Mom + Dad’s wedding … oh and I’ve known Mom since 7th grade. Always special to photograph friends and their offspring. And always a bit surreal! Get ready for some AWWWWWWing … starting with this adorable newborn portrait of him in a sock monkey hat! AHHHHH! We did manage to get outside, always a treat. Enjoy!

Happy November! I don’t know about you, but that snuck up on me and revealed itself with a vengeance. The only way to feel better about the time flying is to look at pictures that will make me warm and fuzzy inside … Meet Snuggly Baby girl S! This tiny newborn baby girl was so much fun! I headed to Woburn for these newborn portraits. Fabulously, it was July and the weather was cooperating. I love being able to get outdoor shots with newborns, it’s rare. Baby S was a champ, starting with her curled up newborn photos inside, all the way through her session to cocoon photos outside. Enjoy!

Newborn Baby Girl Portraits : Arlington Newborn Photography

Kate McKenna — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:09:06 +0000

Blogging has gotten away from me. I’ve had lulls before, but this is by far the worst stretch! Partly due to the passing of my Grandfather, and partly due to shooting, shooting, shooting and shooting some more! It’s been an incredible summer around Crabapple Photography studios and I’m grateful. But I do love blogging and sharing recent photo sessions so I’m going to attempt get the last 27 sessions and 2 weddings up in a timely manner. I feel like if I go ahead and post that, I’m holding myself accountable to you!

Well, I have to say this is an amazing newborn session to come back to blogging with. Little baby girl D’s newborn photo session is what dreams are made of. She was so sleepy and dreamy and smiley and adorable! Very cooperative, she is one of my all time favorites (OK so that list is quite long, but you get the idea). Her parents found their way to the studio from Arlington for her newborn photos. Enjoy!

Newborn Baby Portrait Photographer :: Baby J

Kate McKenna — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 14:56:19 +0000

Prepare yourself for cuteness overload! Newborn Baby J came in for his portrait session at a wee 10 days old. He was the sweetest little baby boy, sleeping like a champ for most of our photos. This post is photo heavy- there were so many options I couldn’t decide what to share! I love when people bring in props that are particularly important or special to them. In Baby J’s case, his Dad happens to be a police officer. I was psyched to incorporate his hat into the photos, check ‘em out and let me know what you think! Enjoy the photos and congratulations once again to new Mom + Dad!

Infant Portrait Photographer :: Newborn Baby Boy Owen

Kate McKenna — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 12:40:30 +0000

Meet snuggly newborn Owen! I melt every time I see this first photo of him with his squishy little cheeks! Baby Owen is baby boy number 2 for this special family who has been featured numerous times on the Crabapple Photography blog. The latest blog post was of Owen’s mama’s maternity photos and big brother Thomas’ 2 year old portraits. Owen was a gem and slept through 99% of our session, allowing us to pose him, put adorable hats on him and even move him around a little. Congratulations again Mom + Dad on your gorgeous new bundle of joy! And he is quite the rock star … scroll all the way to the bottom for proof.

Baseball fan!

Rock on Rock Star!

Meet Baby A :: Jamaica Plain Newborn Photographer

Kate McKenna — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:56:59 +0000

Meet precious newborn baby boy A at seven days old. I cannot believe it’s been almost 2 months since this sleepy newborn was in the studio. Two months is a lifetime in newborn years, I’m sure he looks completely different today! What a cutie and super fun to photograph. Although I do have a hat / prop obsession, it’s always great when people bring in props we can use that have some significance and personal history to them. Along with a few other items, his parents brought along a cowboy hat that Dad has worn for years and is easily recognizable by all his friends + family. In fact you may have seen it make an appearance in Mom’s belly photos. I l-o-v-e it!

This adorable little baby boy A will be gracing the pages of this blog for the entire year! He is a part of the complete baby to one year plan. Stay tuned for the next installment: 3 months old! Here he is sporting an adorable aviator hat:

l-o-v-e!

Meet gorgeous newborn baby boy Mason. I’m pretty sure my heart melted on more than one occasion while choosing the images for this blog post! Things were touch and go in the beginning of our portrait session, trying to get baby Mason into a deep sleep. But the wait was well worth it! I’ve said it before and I will definitely say it again — I love my job as a newborn portrait photographer. A newborn session can be one of the hardest types there are, but I truly enjoy every single moment. And knowing that his Mom and Dad will have these special infant baby photos for the rest of his life warms my heart as well. The first two weeks of a newborn’s life fly by, your baby changes so quickly, he will never look the same! Check out Mr. Snuggly in an adorable owl hat:

Meet gorgeous newborn baby girl Lilly! What an adorable little baby girl and fun newborn photo session. Sleep was touch and go for a bit at the beginning of our session, but have no fear – she was a champion and we got some great newborn baby portraits.

Congratulations again to the new Mom + Dad, she is a bundle of cute!

Newborn Baby Portrait – Baby Girl F

Kate McKenna — Tue, 31 May 2011 14:40:54 +0000

Meet the adorable, squeezable, heart meltingingly cute newborn baby girl F. Her mother’s maternity photo session photos were featured on the blog a mere 4 days ago. Which was the exact timeline from when I saw her parents for their maternity shots and when baby girl F entered the world!

Newborn baby girl F was an absolute dream to photograph. She was oh so sleepy for about 98% of the session. Photo sessions like these really are a collaboration between myself, the parents and of course, the baby (!). But I just want to say a special congratulations and thank you to these new parents for being so creative and to amazing work with! Newborn baby photography can be tough, but sessions like these, and photos like these, are why I love them! Being a newborn portrait photographer really is so rewarding. And here’s why:

That’s a smiling newborn baby!

Baby F is entering a world of garlic! Her parents eat a lot, and she had a whole lot while her mother was pregnant with her. It seemed only fitting to somehow incorporate it!

Having a newborn portrait photographer in the family has it’s benefits! When my sister-in-law announced she was expecting baby #2, it was a no brainer that I would be photographing the newest member of my family. This newest little member turned out to be baby girl Violet, and what a beauty she is! Shortly after her (rather abrupt) arrival in early April, LG and I took a trip to DC to meet Violet and congratulate her Mom, Dad and older brother Cameron. She was absolutely perfect in every way! Be sure to check out my sister-in-law’s blog Mommy FTW (For The Win) where she shares her child rearing experiences and everyday victories being a Mom.

It just so happens that Violet’s front yard was full of her namesake flower! Somewhat out of character, it was a balmy 80 degrees that day so we took advantage and went outside:

Smiley Baby!

(L) Seasonally, DC is a few weeks ahead of us here in Boston. It was wonderful to see all the spring time growth happening down there. (R) Nothing like a brand new baby to really get in the mood of spring and new growth!

Happy Friday! And happy Mother’s Day weekend (Is it a full weekend yet? It should be!). I wish nothing but love, relaxation and family for my clients this Mother’s Day. This little newborn baby boy should help you get a smile on your face for the start of the weekend …

Meet newborn baby boy Dylan! What a precious little dude to photograph and work with. He is the second baby for this family, the first a very fun little girl featured in this fall photo post. There are so many adorable details to document and photograph with a newborn baby. The tiny toes, fingers, feet, eye lashes, lips, toes and the list goes on. Dylan’s eyelashes in particular seem to jump out at you! Congratulations on your beautiful baby Mom + Dad! Enjoy:

Look at those eyelashes! Look at that smile!

Newborn Photography Boston :: Baby M

Kate McKenna — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 10:01:17 +0000

Happy Monday! There’s nothing quite like looking at a few adorable newborn portraits to help stave off those Monday blues. Baby girl M is certainly overqualified for the job of adorable! She was such a good little sleeper and a dream to photograph. I headed to her home in South Boston for these snuggly newborn shots. Baby M happens to be baby girl #2 in this family, her older toddler aged sister is as equally precious (be sure to scroll to the bottom to see some shots of her). Editing and processing these photos I had to pinch myself… yes (!) it is my job to photograph the cutest subjects on earth! Stay tuned for a 6 month installment of baby M photos, I can’t wait to see how much she’s changed!

Boston Newborn Portrait Photographer :: Baby Wes

Kate McKenna — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:33:21 +0000

Half of April 2011 is officially over. I don’t remember when it started! March was an incredibly busy month around Crabapple Studios. I have so many fabulous photo sessions to share with you and I’m going to try my hardest over the next couple of weeks to get them blogged. Starting with this particular favorite of mine- baby Wes’s newborn portraits!

In an ideal world, a newborn baby (ideally 5 – 10 days) will come to the studio and fall fasssstttt asleep. He will stay asleep long enough for us to pose him in adorable ways and get newborn portraits Mom, Dad and the whole family will cherish for years. However, it doesn’t always work out that way. Enter Wes: eyes wide open, curious and not so sleepy! The session turned out fabulous anyway as Mom had brought some particularly adorable outfits. You really need to scroll all the way to the bottom to see a real gem! We rolled with the punches while Wes gave us some adorable shots. There were so many it was difficult to pick for this blog post! In the end, we did tire him out (in combination with some Mom cuddling!) and got some sleepy squeal-worthy shots. Including this favorite of mine:

:: peaceful newborn baby boy ::

Well hello sir!

:: Wes was so absolutely adorable and really fun to photograph ::

Here it is, your moment of zen … I am speechless when I see this photo! It’s so gangsta. This newborn has serious style.

Boston Newborn Photography :: Baby Boy J

Kate McKenna — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:14:04 +0000

Baby J is the definition of newborn “bundle of joy.” He was such a good baby for our recent photo session! I feel so lucky to have been able to photograph him and am reminded, once again, that I have the best job on the planet. Baby J was a great sleeper, he even gave us a smile or two. He woke up for a bit so we could get some shots of him in his mother’s arms. At the end of the session, he had on an adorable bear hat … melt! Enjoy:

Cutest newborn baby boy!!

Newborn baby boys are magic and baby Graham was no exception. This little guy was born on Valentine’s Day and what a tiny little charmer he was! I know my heart melted instantly. His Mom + Dad were in the studio for some adorable belly photos during their maternity photo shoot back in January. Graham was an excellent sleeper during our session and we were able to capture some seriously adorable newborn baby portraits. His parents, and eventually he, will cherish these baby photos for a lifetime.

2 Month Old Baby Girl Portraits Boston

Kate McKenna — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 13:50:57 +0000

It’s all in the details. Meet 2 month old baby girl Ella. She has the (cutest!) tiniest little fingers and the tiniest little toes. In fact, they will never be this tiny again! Newborn baby portrait photography in general, or 2 month old baby photos like these are so important for this very reason. There’s something just so amazing about capturing the details of a baby at any stage really, but this one in particular that I absolutely love.

For Ella’s 8 week old baby portraits, I headed into Boston. We took some fabulous family photos while I was there, as well as smiley baby portraits and of course the details. She was an absolute joy to photograph.

:: Look at those eyelashes and adorable soft hair! ::

I’ve been photographing a lot of newborns (under 2 weeks) lately and the difference between a 2 week old baby and an 8 week old baby is phenomenal. Not more than 2 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you the difference, but the growth and change is almost hard to believe. Here is Ella, smiley and giggling!

: Mom Love :

Such an adorable baby!
