I am loving my high school senior sessions this month. It’s great fun taking the photos of course but talking about the final year at school and plans for college remind me of what a wonderful journey is ahead for these students. I thought this image conveys perfectly the idea of this journey!

This young lady was simply wonderful to photograph and such great company for the session. These two images are quite contemporary but we have some more classic/traditional photos for the final gallery.

My daughter and her two closest friends have started ballet. It was just too good a photo opportunity to pass by!!!

This is an image from one of several High School Senior promotional sessions I am doing this month. What a pleasure it was spending some time with this very accomplished young lady. She has a very exciting year ahead and I wish her all the best with her college applications.

Well here I am thinking ahead to Fall. I couldn’t believe a thunderstorm bigger than any I’ve seen all Summer decided to happen just after this session started! Nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed meeting this family. I am so excited about finishing off the session next week. I have got lots planned! I hope to see the same fantastic smiles when we get together again. Despite the gathering clouds we got some special images. Here are two I’m sharing.

It was great meeting this family up from New York, though we didn’t have the best of our recent Massachusetts weather we did manage to dodge the rain! These lovely looking boys looked wonderful in their matching white outfits.

A change of direction for my latest blog entry. With Summer’s end fast approaching I thought I’d post some images from my family Summer. We all had a wonderful time at a house on the shores of Lake Champlain, Vermont. My kids and the photographer in the family (me) were rather taken with an old red canoe at the house. Lots of photo opportunities as my kids loved to spend time in it. Although they look like they are paddling the waters, this boat was safely at the water’s edge with Dad holding onto it!

Here’s the real deal though. All ready for the evening boating trip with Dad!

Then there were the fantastic sunsets, which were just a great excuse to play in the lake even longer!

Here’s a pick from yesterday’s evening session. I love all the shades of brown and the dreamy expression. I think this one is heading for my home page!This young lady has a wonderful classical look and she was fantastic to photograph. Wishing her all the best for her start at high school next week!

Going through the selection some more I decided to share again!

I had such a great time with these children, talking about Summer vacation, school and tractors in between photos. There had been a lot of cloud cover for most of the session. Finally when we all got back to the car a sunset appeared to give some great color. Of course I couldn’t resist trying one last shot and managed to talk these two sisters into giving it a last go. This is one of my favorite images not only from the session but of the whole Summer. I am always very drawn to expressions other than smiles that create a mood. This is one such image. It’s the kind of photograph that gets me very excited when I first load it onto the computer.

Here’s another of the younger brother and what an adorable smile this little guy had. He was very enthusiastic about tractors. Luckily there were some close at hand!!

This wonderful little girl is two and was so excited about being photographed. Apparently she kept asking all day when it was time for photos!! Some great outfits were on show too. I was thinking of asking Mom if she could help me out with my wardrobe. We got some great images from the session. One favorite of mine has gone straight up on my home page.

Here she is again having some fun with her very caring big brother who I have to say has the most gorgeous red hair. I photographed these two siblings last Fall. They are really growing up.

Flowers in the hair, flowers everywhere. Flowers were very much part of my session with these two lovely twins from last week. The little girl had a beautiful garland of roses in her hair and of course there were plenty of flowers at the location. Mom had given much thought to outfits for this session which can always add a very unique and beautiful addition to any image.
