Hello there Pumpkin!

Meet little Alisa, the adorable daughter of Helena and Kosta – the founders and owners of Thanks Mama, a local company that specializes in cloth diapers and accessories for eco-minded Moms.  I’m hoping to cloth diaper my soon-to-be-born son, and the Thanks Mama website has been an invaluable resource.  The site is packed with information, product reviews, and the lowest prices I’ve found anywhere – and I’ve looked!  In addition to all the diapering supplies you need, Thanks Mama also carries baby carriers, toys, baby leggings and a host of other products, most with organic and eco-friendly options.  I love what Helena and Kosta are doing so much that I’ll be blogging for them over at the Thanks Mama Blog – look for my posts soon.

Alisa was shy at first, but by the end of our shoot she was happily playing in the sand and discovering all kinds of fun shells and crabs.  It was a challenge rolling around in the sand with my belly, but the results were worth it!

All it took was some playtime with Daddy to loosen Alisa right up…

and then the real fun began…

A lovely afternoon with lovely people…and I’m just so glad it’s finally summer!

This shoot was a fun challenge for me because unlike my usual couple shoots, these two aren’t engaged – they’re mother and daughter. Gen (her full name is Yevgenia, how cool is that?) wanted to treat her mother Polina to some photos as a gift and we were blessed with a warm and sunny Boston day. Gen and Polina were so lovely and didn’t even mind when we had to move the location of the shoot last minute because our original spot of the Public Garden was mobbed due to a free concert that day.

Gen is the absolute cutest and I wasn’t surprised to find that her mother was just as adorable. I hope to have captured some of their obvious bond and love while providing family photos that are a bit different than the norm.

Look at these beautiful women – you can certainly see the family resemblance!

The Christian Science Center was  a great place to shoot, lots of lines and angles – my favorite!  And luckily since it’s early in the season we didn’t have to hide from those pesky guards who don’t always take kindly to photographers.

How cute are these two?  So much warmth and fun.

They could be cover models with their fierce poses!

Gen and Polina were nice enough to humor me with some of my more funky shots, I’m glad they did, I love how they came out!

And finally, my favorite shot from the day, both mother and daughter look just beautiful

I had a great day with Gen and Polina and it made me miss my own mother – I’m glad to be seeing her soon.  If you haven’t spoken with your mom in a while, give her a call and tell her thanks!
