I met Emiko and Luke years ago when I was the second photographer at their wedding.  I have kept in touch with Emiko since then and was so excited when I realized that not only would she still be in Massachusetts when we moved but she was pregnant as well!  We were going to set up a newborn shoot for the beginning of August when I arrived.  Apparently little Eleanor had other plans and decided to arrive early.  She was born before I moved to town but we decided to do a family session anyways.  Because how can you resist a face like this?!  She’s just too cute!

We started out the session at their home and did a few of their daily “around the house” things just to get everyone warmed up and used to having the camera around. I love, love, love getting a chance to be invited into people’s homes and document their daily life in the way that I see it. It’s always such an absolute treat for me and this time was no different.

After some time indoors we went outside in search of some nice light and fall colors. I can’t believe how gorgeous the autumn here in New England is, it’s such a treat to see coming from California! Aren’t they the absolute most adorable family ever?! I love that they are always smiling!

I simply cannot resist a baby in a hood with ears. It’s impossible!

How cute is this face?!

Emiko and Luke it was such a treat to get to photograph your beautiful family! I cannot wait to do it again!
