Maternity Photos | Cape Cod Boston Newton Maternity Photography

Most woman don’t think to take maternity photos, but it’s one of the most important and life changing events of your life. Your body is changing and growing and after you give birth you might forget how beautiful your body was while you were pregnant. Maternity photos are also great when paired with a newborn session! We can combined the two session proofs and make a gorgeous album with your maternity and newborn pictures in one. What an amazing family heirloom that would be – imagine in 30 years your son or daughter showing their maternity and newborn album to their future spouse and children! It really is priceless. I know sometimes woman feel overweight and swollen while they’re pregnant so this session gives you a chance to feel beautiful and sexy in your own body!

Last week I got the chance to photograph a beautiful pregnant woman – she’s having a baby boy! No name picked out yet though! Enjoy!

Baby Contest Winner! | Cape Cod and Boston Child and Baby Photographer

I’m sure you all remember the cutest child contest I hosted a few months ago on my Facebook fan page! Well yesterday I got to do the winners photos! We headed to one of my favorite fields on Cape Cod and I lugged all my new props along. Lexi was SUCH a good baby – one of the easiest children I have ever photographed actually. She was smiley and didn’t cry once (except for the digger she took in the sand!) Hope you enjoy the photos!

Almost 2 years old! | Cape Cod Beach Portraits

This evening I headed down to the beach on Cape Cod to meet up with a little cutie! I have to admit, the beach isn’t my first choice of locations, but tonight changed my mind! I love shooting at the beach now and I like to put my own spin on Cape Cod beach photography. If you’re looking for something unique then what others offer, I’m your girl! It was a beautiful sunset tonight – we almost canceled because the weather was looking iffy – but I am SO glad we didn’t! Check em’ out!

High School Senior Portraits | Cape Cod & Boston Newton Senior Photographer

High school senior portrait season is coming up fast! Seniors are some of my favorite subjects to photograph. I’m not too far away from their age and I can relate to what seniors want for their pictures. When I was in high school my senior pictures entailed finding my favorite Abercrombie shirt, jeans and some flip flops and heading to the beach at sunset….with the gnats! UGH! I wish someone have enlightened me about how awesome and fun senior photos could actually be.

I LOVE it when my seniors to show up to their shoot with a suitcase full of amazing trendy outfits and ready to work the camera! Dresses, heals, skinny jeans, workkk it! On Cape Cod most seniors opt to go to the beach because, hey, thats what everyone else does right? I love to shoot in locations OTHER than the beach though – we can go to the beach for sure, but we’ll find a way to make it unique from everyone else’s senior photo (and we’ll get a few mom approved ones too!). My boston and the surrounding suburbs high school seniors have it just as good, we could go anywhere; into the city, to a park, your neighborhood – whatever!

So this leads me to the real reason I’m writing this blog post:
1. I tested out a few locations with one of my friends the other day to show seniors we can work an alley way AND the beach all in one session while looking fabulous at the same time.
2. I’m looking for a few high school seniors to be my student reps (more details…keep reading!).

Senior reps are amazing. Curious? Good! Senior reps get their session for FREE! I give you a bunch of custom amazing things to hand out to friends with you’re pictures on it and my information. You earn prints and awesome products depending on how many friends you refer. There’s also going to be a drawing at the end for someone to win some amazingggg prizes! Plus I get to know my senior reps – which is an added bonus right?! I know you all want to be my friend! ;)

Ok so I want to be a senior rep or I know someone who would be perfect for this, whats the deal? I’m looking for reps who are a junior in high school right now and graduating in 2011. I’m going to be doing sessions for my reps SOON, by the middle of May. I want seniors who are really outgoing, have tons of friends at school, are involved in a lot of activities, know how to rock the camera (aren’t shy!), and trendy fashionistas who can pull together amazing outfits! You can live in any town on the Cape, but I only accept a couple reps from each school. I’m also looking for reps in Boston and the surrounding towns…sooo – Belmont, Brookline, Cambridge, Newton, Watertown, Needham, Wellesley, Waltham, etc. So if you or someone you know might be interested in being a senior rep contact me at cait@tuliptreephotography.com. I’ll give you all the details as far as what you earn for referring friends and what type of custom stuff I give you to hand out to friends. I’ll also have you fill out a quick application for me to review and if you’re a good fit we’ll schedule a session! I’m so excited to be launching this this year! Cant wait to hear from you all! In the mean time here are some senior pics to look at :)

Steve+Ashley – Engaged! | Boston Newton Cape Cod Photographer

She had just turned 18 and wanted to celebrate by buying herself some diamond earrings. Ashley is gorgeous with her thousand megawatt smile, and the boss at the jewelry store offered her a job and handed her an application. She pushed it to the side and went on about her life. One day she was getting a tattoo and in came that jewelry store boss with another guy. That guy was Steve. They immediately liked each other. They continued to bump into each other here and there, but they both were in other relationships.

Ashley’s mother owns a floral shop who offered free flowers for troops that were overseas. A few years later Ashley was working at the shop when she got an order from a guy in the army overseas wanting to send flowers to his girlfriend. She thought nothing of it. One day that guy came in to thank Ashley’s mom for offering the free flowers for the troops….that guy was Steve. Ashley was still in a relationship with someone else and so was Steve.

Fast forward another few years and Ashley’s going to college. She noticed the same car parked near the doors at the college every morning. As she was walking past it one day she noticed Steve’s I.D. picture hanging from the rear view mirror. She kept hoping to bump into him, but when that didn’t happen she resorted to stalking, haha, well not really stalking, but she did find out which class he was in and waited outside. This time before he was about to say goodbye she grabbed his arm and said the one sentence that changed her life, I’m single now. They went on a date that Friday and have been together ever since!

Now if that isn’t fate then I don’t what is! If you cant tell by the pictures below – they are in LOVE. Not the the boring comfortable love, the I can’t live without you passionate love. I will be happy being half in love as these two when I get married! So I think the moral of this story is…girls go buy yourself some diamond earrings and you might end up meeting the man you’re going to marry ;)

Where did Cait Photography go?! | Cape Cod Boston Massachusetts Photographer

Where did Cait Photography go?! Dont worry, it’s right here, it just happens to have a new name and new look!

I never intended for my business name to be Cait Photography for the long haul. I’m just not good at coming up with names. Remember in gym class you’d break into teams and the teacher would be like “ok, think of a team name before we start!”…yeah well I was never the kid who came up with the name. So after months and months of brainstorming and suggestions I finally came to Tulip Tree Photography! Most people ask me what a tulip tree is…well it’s the tree in my yard! No it’s not something I made up, I swear! :) It’s a really pretty flowering tree! And I love flowering trees, so why not??

So head over to my new fan page HERE and become a fan by pressing “Like” to stay up to date on everything going on here. It’s going to be a very exciting next few months with some give aways so make sure you become a fan!

And in honor of flowering trees I went to the Boston Common to check out all the amazing tulip gardens and trees this week! I’ve also been asked to put up an Etsy account to sell prints so that will be going live next week as well!

Meet my family! | Cape Cod & Boston Family Photographer

When I was growing up I never remember being dragged to family pictures or bribed to smile for the camera (ok, so I probably didn’t need to be bribed since I was a total ham). I took the photos for the yearbook every year, but that’s about it. I love my mom, but she was just never one for doing family portraits every year. Now that I’m a photographer I’m obsessed with documenting everything because I want to look back and have really great pictures of my family. It’s so important I think, especially when you’re kids can look back at you at their age to see how much they look like you! I’m always photographing other peoples families and other peoples children that sometimes I take a step back and think to take my own families!

So today was Easter, the family was all together – so it was time to torture them with my lens! ha ha…it all started with my mom wanting a new Facebook picture and turned into everyone in the family getting a picture done. My dad is in acting classes and needed some head shots, but thought he needed to go to some special head shot photographer (HELLLOOOO, you’re daughter is a photographer!!)…but that is my dad for you! :)

So Dad I hope you like you’re “head shots”, Mom I hope all your friends comment on how pretty you look on Facebook, and Cody…well I’m happy with just a “yeah, looks ok” from him – because if you knew my brother you’d know that meant a lot!

And remember, take out your own point and shoot as often as you can because you can’t take too many photos, but you can look back in 15 years and wish you had taken more :)

Ok – my Mom is adorable! She doesn’t even look close to her age – and UMMM can I be in that good a shape when I’m her age please?!
