Regular readers might recognize my rock star baby friend from other portrait sessions we’ve done together. She’s my muse! I got the photo I wanted (above) but also loved the in-between moments (below).
Isn’t giving baby a bath in the kitchen sink one of those classic childhood photo moments? Her little bum was too slippery so we had to put her in the bumbo 
heehee.
(Can’t wait to see you in September, N!)
The details of our 2010 autumn portrait promotion are set! Mini sessions are our most affordable and efficient option for getting a lighthearted image to use in holiday greetings, as gifts, or to update the family portrait on your desk at work. My plan is to leverage the incredible colors of New England’s early autumn (and the mild, temperate days) for all they’re worth!
The details of our fall 2010 portrait promotion:
As an added bonus, clients who book their session before September 5 will receive a pack of 25 press-printed holiday cards featuring the image of their choice. These gorgeous cards will definitely stand out from the glossy CVS prints everyone else makes at the last minute!
Your portrait session will not be confirmed until we have received the session fee as indicated above. Session fee is nonrefundable, but if it turns out you have a change in plans you may gift or sell your spot to someone else.
*If you’re looking for a more in-depth session to include individual portraits of children or extended family groups, Rachel is available September 27-30 and October 4-7 for 1 hour premium family sessions in your home at a time that is convenient to you (rates $250+). Please inquire with Carol – carol at decenturbanlifestyle.com to book your session.

November 11, 2007.
I am absolutely delighted with many of my international friends. German photographer Miriam Meerfeld is one of those persons whose sparkling personality wins over even the coldest of hearts. Back in 2007 she was living in NYC, and came to visit me in Boston to help out with some weddings. I am so glad we spent this cold Sunday morning together making portraits.
I had forgotten the photo shoot I did with Miriam, but when I looked back into my photo archives these images bring back the warmth of her smile and her mischievous but loving personality. Portraits have such an important function: to help us remember the good times and special people in our life. It makes me happy that my job is to help document personalities.

I am going through some film photos from 2009 and came across a few frames from the tall ships festival in Boston. The black and white image was from 120 film through a Holga camera. The color images are 135 film in a lomo fisheye toy camera.
I love the lady in orange posing for her photo with all the other people in the shot.
Here’s the latest batch of cuties from our mini sessions!

Some more from my time with Chandler. She is the reason I have decided I’d like to specialize in 8 month olds… if that were possible. These are the images most loved by her mom and dad.
If you have a newborn now, please consider scheduling a portrait session around 8 months. It’s a delightful age where they find their toes, love to wiggle and smile, and light up when they see your face.
Some cute photos from my mini shoot with Linus and family. Our original shoot was interrupted by a broken camera, so we’re in the process of rescheduling. Can’t wait!
What a delight to get to hang out with those whose weddings I have photographed in previous years.
