Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Actually it's after midnight so I'm a couple of minutes off. I know, I'm burning the candle at both ends! I just wanted to share a session I had a couple of days ago. These kiddos were so sweet and look at their hair - perfect! I was telling these children all about the memory in the camera and how it goes into the computer so they can see their pictures on the other end. Well, guys, here they are...magic! It was so nice to meet you both and mom too.

Fun in the snow

We braved the cold snow and rain! You have to love when your work takes you outside, even if the weather isn't perfect. Here are a few to share from a senior session I had today. She was great fun, had a great smile and didn't mind lying down in the snow! Perfect!

Sweet Pea T

I was really looking forward to meeting this baby. I had photographed her momma about a month ago for a maternity session. It is so nice to see what that little tummy bump turned out to be! She lives up to all expectations with a crop of dark hair, bright baby eyes, full lips and very long toes! I think I even got a little smile from her. Thank you for coming to the studio today, I feel honored that it was your first outing with Miss T. ever !

Black and whites from a family session

Here's a little more from my family session. Most of all I love black and white photographs. I love the way they look so classic, I love that they make you really look at the person instead of what they are wearing. I would love to have the nerve to become a classic black and white photographer....someday perhaps. For now, my clients love color mostly and I'm happy to oblige.

More snow!!

You may have seen my previous post but these sweet children are the real guiney pigs! They came to the studio for a family portrait last week having no idea what I was going to put them through! Thanks for being such good sports about it, I hope you had fun. I will post more of the session tomorrow.

My kind of fun

I have been very busy lately. Which is very good and which also has down sides...late nights, deadlines...etc. I decided to have a little of my own kind of fun. If you read in the previous post you will see what I'm talking about. Here is one of the images I captured of my children "sledding" in the studio. Nothing great, but lots of fun and it makes me smile =)

One of my own

You would think that I have tons of portraits of my children, and I do but not as many as you think. I had a sweet boy in the studio yesterday, he said "Madeleine gets to do this all the time?" referring to my other daughter that he goes to school with. At least he had fun. With my children, they DO NOT cooperate when the camera comes out. I have to let them come to me, timing is everything. This morning they decided they wanted to set up the studio with a winter theme. I was on it! While they were "setting up" I got my camera ready, the lights all adjusted, etc". We pulled out the white paper, put down fake snow, Christmas trees, a sled, the works. It was fun but only lasts for a very short time. Here is one I captured of Ella during the mini session.

Sweet Baby C

I just love when newborns come to the studio. This one was no exception. What a little sweetie. She did a beautiful job with barely a peep. I hear that she is quite feisty but you'd never know it in these pictures, although she wasn't too fond of the crown that mom and grandma put on her head! What a treat to have 3 generations in the studio at one time. Thanks for coming and I can't wait to see you soon.
