The fall brings with it leaves and cider, and lots of smiles into my lens (the holidays are great incentive for clients to get in touch)! Tommy, while he looked serious (and disgruntled) in a few of these shots, is a beautiful little man with parents who adore him and a grandma who's a champ at peek-a-boo (very helpful for family shots!).
I had a great time this past sunny Saturday morning with Evey, her wonderful mom Zoe, and her beautiful daughter (also named!) Zoe.
Read MoreToo much time has passed since I had this delightful shoot with newborn Sienna with her big brother Asher and their parents Laurie and Jake. But, if you're familiar with my site you'll notice it's been redesigned. So I wanted to wait to post this entry until the new site was live.
Do a search for "Asher" and you'll find his newborn session from just a few short years ago. Do a search for "Laurie and Jake" and you'll find their wedding too!
Laurie and Jake told me they weren't positive about what name to choose for their little girl until she joined the world with her bright red hair, so Sienna she became. They also say she's a feisty one. As a fellow redhead, I can appreciate that!
I've been a bit neglectful of this here blog, so here is a little slideshow of some photos I shot for clients seeking holiday pics. Not wanting to share photos which clients might want to share themselves on their holiday cards, I decided to keep them to myself til after the new year. I think it's safe now. Also for your viewing pleasure is my own silly holiday card featuring my pup Harlow!
I photographed little bitty Molly a few years ago and last weekend was time to hang at home with her new little brother Bradley!
With the cute kid factor off the charts, beautiful weather and perfect fall leaves, this year's fall sessions were a great success! My clients were rock stars, taking on the crazy Salem traffic and even a rain delay in the middle of the day. Salem Willows Park was a new location for CSP and it served my current and new clients well, I thought!
Read MoreA year ago, when little Lena was only three days old, I took the below image. This was of course in addition to a number of other stunning images we shot during our session that day (wink wink!).
Read MoreI got an email from the wife of a classmate of mine from good old Wakefield High weeks ago. Her in-laws had their heart on our beautiful Wakefield Common, and while I tried to talk them out of it because getting nice shots there can be trickier that one might think (people on the common, on the gazebo, poor light, too much green glow from trees, a dark gloomy lake), they wanted to give it a try anyway. We got a beautiful day for it and they were such a fun bunch to work with too!
I met Leeanna's family years ago when Mack was just a bitty thing (Mack's hair tamed a bit over the years). It was fun to see the kids grown a bit, explore a farm near their home and of course, get ice cream for good behavior during their session!
This year's fall mini sessions were a great success! I love to see returning clients and meeting some news ones! The tricycle I invested in for my sessions got use for the first time as well. As usual, Endicott Park doesn't disappoint.
I received an email from Lena's mom Ryan about a month ago, letting me know she had a baby on the way and wanted newborn shots. When she contacted me one day after Lena was born to schedule her session, I was impressed. Lena had arrived right on her due date! We exchanged info and I laughed to myself when she gave me her address. I emailed her back "Well, I'll be walking to your photo session because you're only a few houses away from me!" It's a small world!
I photographed Finn a while back when he first arrived here in our world and then again about six months later. I also photographed his parents' wedding. They are great people and he is a total joy to be around. Fin is 16 months now. Here are some shots from our most recent session which happened while we spent the weekend hanging out together in the cape.
