While most people may think that October is the best month for fall colors, consider how lovely these beach portraits that were taken in November.

Best Child Photographer North of Boston: Kapil in his daddy's shoes

Kapil was full of energy running about the studio, typical of his 18 months of age. How fun to see him slow down for just a moment through the fascination of wearing his daddy's shoes. Not only is it a great way to keep a toddler still for a moment, but it makes for a great portrait!

Best North of Boston Child Photographer: Andrew, Robbie & Caroline

Three highly energetic family members, Andrew, Robbie & Caroline came in recently with their mom for a portrait session.

These were the ones chosen for the family wall portraits.

Lucas is now 19 months old and full of energy. Keeping the attention of this age is always fun and challenging. His mommy dressed him in some great seasonal outfits. I especially loved the candy stripe long johns in red & white. Our red scarf was a hit, too, since he kept it on for us!

Salem MA Family Portrait Photography: Ryan & Loren by the rocks

Ryan and Loren were in town on a recent visit with their parents. We went down to the waterfront in Salem and found a great little shady spot amongst the rocks. These were my favorite images -- the ones without the water or beach as a backdrop! The dark rocks were a nice contrast to their warm skin tones to create a lovely set of portraits.

It's time for holiday portraits and the most challenging part for any parent is to wrangle five busy kids into one place at the same time.  Jacqui and John successfully gathered up the entire clan for a great portrait of all five kids, Haley, Kendall, Dylan, Evan & Anjelina.

Best Child Photography North of Boston: Caroline & Alex holiday portraits

Caroline looked so darling in her red & black polka dot skirt! What a festive party dress. Her mommy brought along some great dresses and outfits. For her baby brother Alex, we found that bare skin is always the best way to 'dress' a 3 month old boy. Of course, we also dressed him in a seasonal outfit, too, but the bare chest almost always wins out as the favorite.

Massachusetts Best North Shore Child Photographer: Emily & Jessica play dress up in Mommy's shoes

We had a little playful fun with sisters Emily (4) and Jessica (17 months) when they came in for a portrait session. Mommy's shoes were a hit with both girls -- because girls just love playing dress up! Besides, it was terrific way to slow down young Jessica from running around like all 17 month olds love to do. To add to the fun, they tried on a few pairs of sunglasses I had in my prop box.

Wrangling together three teenagers and getting them over to the studio for a portrait is a challenge for most any family, but it is so worth the effort. These three siblings, Alexis, John and Adam, not knowing what to expect when they arrived, actually found it to be a really fun experience!

Salem MA Family Photography: 2 year old Colton is adopted!

Colton's adoption was a big event for his father and for entire extended family. Colton had been in his father's care as a foster child from the time he was just five days old. And now on this particular day, Colton officially became a member of the family. I was honored to be able to share and witness this day with them, from the studio to the court room to the beach, documenting every step of the way. The family chose to build a hardcover coffee table book of the images from the day as a special memory book. Congratulations!
