You learn a lot about a person by attending their wedding. There wasn’t a whole lot I needed to learn about Sarah since she’s one of my best friends but if I didn’t know her and Bob truly well (and I actually didn’t know Bob that well but what I mean is that if I was just the photographer and not a photographer slash guest) I would have learned that they are the kind of people who make and keep friends. They acquire friends through friends and friends of friends and family friends, and basically pick up friends wherever they go (and they are a well-traveled couple). In other words, they have a lot of really close friends and family. And it makes sense that these two actually met through a mutual friend. But the coolest part of all that friendship business is that their wedding was big but it felt like an intimate candlelit and really fun dinner party with friends. I hope you get the idea. (By the way, it was at the Green Building in Brooklyn which is a VERY cool space.)

2011 was an incredible year. I had a baby – an amazing little boy named Leo. My sister also gave birth to her adorable son, my best friend welcomed her second beautiful girl, and my sister-in-law had her third.  Wow.  During my pregnancy I met a group of awesome women – also pregnant – who have become great friends and whose babies are now little playmates for Leo.  All of these families have been my gorgeous models, helping me launch the portrait side of my photography business. This blog post is a big THANK YOU to ALL of my clients, family, and friends who have supported me in 2011.  I look forward to watching your families grow in the new year. xo, Siri

It was fun meeting up with 10 month old Naomi and her parents for this portrait session because Naomi gave me a little glimpse of some things I have to look forward to with my 6 month old. She’s crawling around really fast, saying “dada” and babbling away, laughing up a storm and nearly walking. She had tons of personality and didn’t mind getting tossed around (see last pic). Thanks Naomi and parents!

I recently did a fall photo shoot with Jett and his mum. He is such a character – full of smiles and expressions – and fun to photograph. He liked being in the leaves too…and even tried one for taste.

Here’s Lara and Anuj’s reception on the Seaport Elite in Boston harbor. Highlights were definitely the gorgeous cake (with elephants!) by Konditor Meister and the amazingly talented and funny guitar player, Gian Carlo Buscaglia.

Ahhh…at last I have found time to share a lovely wedding I had the privilege of photographing. Lara and Anuj got married this month and celebrated on the Seaport Elite on an overcast but beautiful fall day. These two are loved – by each other and by their friends and family who kept getting up to make speeches and toasts and share their stories about the happy couple. It was fun being a fly on the wall, so to speak, and to take pictures of all the beautiful people and details. Here’s the first part and stay tuned for part two.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted as life got a little busy for me this summer (yikes, and now fall) with the birth of my son, a move and two trips across the country. So I wanted to ease back into things with a little preview of Lara and Anuj’s Boston harbor cruise wedding and a couple of the bub in question.

First, Lara and Anuj…

now the baby…

Julie called me a few days before her wedding to tell me that she had an allergic reaction which made her skin break out in a rash and she wondered how much Photoshop could help. She was freaked out. Imagine my surprise when I showed up the morning of her wedding and found her skin radiant as ever. The rash went away the night before – no photoshopping needed. (I saw the before pics and it wasn’t pretty.) In the end the lucky girl made for a beautiful bride and David was looking pretty dapper himself. Their simple and elegant wedding at the Wayside Inn turned out gorgeous all around.



















I caught up with the newlyweds a week later, looking so relaxed and happy…

Izabella was only a couple weeks old when I photographed her and her parents – alert, adorable and very patient with me trying to work around my own pregnant belly. She never contested – even when we went outside into the slightly chilly Seattle spring air. I think she was just perfectly content in her doting parents’ arms. Very sweet.
