Sunflower Wedding

Earlier this fall, my family and I were happy to attend the wedding of two very sweet friends.  We needed to come back to the States to apply for a new visa and were glad to hear they would be getting married while we were in the country.  Their wedding also gave us another reason, among many, to visit the Boston area- our home for 6 years before we moved to Paris.


The Twins














I met these two when they were starting out their freshman year at Harvard College.  We were at a home Bible study eating dinner together and I'm pretty sure they were holding pinkies while we ate. They're adorable.  And they make me laugh. And smile so hard it hurts. I want to say more about how wonderful they are and how proud I am at the women they have become, but I don't want to cry on my keyboard. So I'll just leave it at this: I'm so glad our lives crossed paths. They're two wonderful young women that anyone would be lucky to know.

So much love,

Katrina

A Happy Place

















I have some really wonderful friends who let me into their home and follow them around for the afternoon taking a bunch of pictures.  I'm still not great at making the time feel organic for the family, but I don't think it was too painful of an experience for any of us. Thanks for letting me get in some photography practice, friends!  Also, you're beautiful.

Cheers,

Katrina

The Italian Job








I've started dabbling in lifestyle photography and I'm loving it!  It's hard not to enjoy it when you're privileged to work with a couple who love each other so much it oozes into their family life.  They were such a joy to photograph because they absolutely adore one another.  Can't you tell!?  This darling couple has the best love story too.  She was studying in Italy and met him the last few days she was there- he was so smitten he had to visit her in America...and then never left.  And they all lived happily ever after.  *insert all the hearts and heart eyes here*

Cheers,

Katrina

Pinecones and Needles










I've loved working with Anne at Pinecones and Needles. She is so passionate about this little {fabulous} shop she has created- and has only been open for about a year!  As soon as you walk into the store you're immediately overcome with peace and joy.  The lighting is bright, the air is wafting with gentle and natural aroma-therapy, and there's often French music quietly playing while you browse the shelves of delightful toys and art crafts.  Pinecones and Needles carries an array of unique European toys, and they do walk-in crafts everyday for adults and children. I want to buy up everything for the little darlings in my life. This store is truly a gem in the Boston area.
