Baby Photographer in Andover, MA :: Introducing Baby AJ!

One of the things that makes me super happy is catching up with previous wedding couples and seeing their wedding pictures framed and displayed in their homes. Photos are meant to be printed and displayed not languishing on discs or flash drives in a draw!

And the reason I was at Elizabeth & AJ's home? To take pictures of Baby AJ!

Milo the dog has adjusted well to the new addition to the home:

Milo kept a close eye on baby AJ during the shoot:

Proud parents!!!

Elizabeth & AJ - congratulations on the arrival of Baby AJ! It was so lovely to see you both again!!!

Introducing Baby Ryan

A gazillion years ago - well, actually 2 years ago (every wedding season feels like 5 years to me!)  - Lindsay and Matt were married:

Their little family of two, just became a little family of three with the arrival of a little baby boy:

Meet baby Ryan:

Ryan wasn't 100% sure about me and the camera, giving me quizzical looks like this:

But he soon got used to me and decided to just get back to chilling out

Teeny tiny baby feet fascinate me

Congratulations Lindsay & Matt! It was so lovely to see you both again! Ryan is a lucky boy to have you two as his parents!!!

Boston Newborn Baby Photographer :: Meet Charlie

It seems like it was just yesterday that I photographed Katie & Dan's wedding at The Ridge Club on Cape Cod but it was actually waaaaay back in 2011. Time flies when you're having fun people.

Anyhoo, Katie & Dan just welcomed baby Charlie into the world, obviously I had to take some pictures of this adorable little man:


Katie was a very organized bride, always on time if not early and I think Charlie might take after her:

Teeny tiny baby feet:

Charlie was super chill while I was there, we think he was slightly mesmerised by the ca-chunk sound of my camera shutter. Or maybe he was just super cosy in his Daddy's arms:

They say happy parents = happy baby so Charlie should be a very happy baby as these two are still laughing together. It's just laughter over pee and poop now :)

I'd like to tell you I set this up and asked Katie to kiss Charlie just like this but I didn't:

Katie & Dan admitted they often just sit and look at Charlie in amazement:

I like this image a lot Congratulations Katie & Dan!!! I'm so happy to see your little family of two become three. Charlie is a lucky little boy to have you two as parents AND the extended Di Palma and Mooney families to love him!

Newburyport Baby Photographer :: Meet William

Sometimes I'm so on it with the blogging schedule, I imagine if you're a regular blog reader it's nice to come here and find new content. And then sometimes I'm running all over the place at weddings and engagement shoots and photographer meetings and it gets a little quiet over here. Well, you'll be pleased to know that you should come back every day this week as I have a whole week of fun posts.

First up is a mini family shoot. Tomorrow we'll have a mini engagement shoot in the rain. Wednesday will be the start of Aubrey & Mike's epic two-ceremony wedding. Not to mention I have engagement shoots scheduled every day this week (ummm - rain, if you could just stay away until next week that would be awesome)... Let's get to it! Remember Kristin &  Zach? They were married in 2012 on a beautifully sunny day at the Rose Garden in Lynch Park (if you happen to have a copy of the current Boston Weddings magazine you might think that Kristin looks familiar, that's because the Essex Room used a picture I took of her for their advertisement ;)

Their daughter Autumn stole the show as one of the world's cutest flower girls ever. All the excitement of the wedding got to be too much and she slept for at least half of the reception!

Here's Autumn now just a few days before her fifth birthday:

Autumn is now a big sister as Kristin and Zach just had a beautiful baby boy named William! When I arrived for their mini newborn shoot in Newburyport Zach was hard at work installing new doors on their house so I took some pictures with Kristin and William:

It's hard work being a baby photographer when the baby is this cute :)

Autumn did a great job of holding William (Kristin was just out of the shot poised for a catch!):

One more of the handsome little man:

And a final picture of the newly extended family. Congratulations!!!

I offer these mini newborn sessions to all Leah Haydock Photography wedding clients and I also love doing "Day in the life" sessions. They're not your average family photography and the use of the word "cheese" is banned. We figure out an awesome activity that you'd usually do as a family - spending the morning at a Maine beach, having a picnic in a Northshore park, hanging out at home baking cookies and snuggling on the sofa - and then I document it for you. Email me leah@leahhaydock.com if you'd like more information or to schedule your own "Day in the life" shoot.
