Studio Happenings-Artist Sessions

For the next few weeks we are offering a limited number of complimentary sessions in studio. The theme is “The Dress”.

We are looking for girls to come along with their best dress, special dress or simply a favorite dress up outfit.  Maybe there’s an Easter dress hanging in the closet that would be great in a portrait. Other ideas include a flower girl dress, new summer frock, tutu or ballet outfit. The requirement for the session is that a dress must be worn.

A model release form must be signed to allow the studio to use the images in their portfolio. It is not a requirement to purchase prints but if a client chooses to, this is done separately. If you are interested in scheduling a session please contact Jane.

Do I look mad?

We went away for a few days last week and boarded our cat.  Was he mad at us!  I took this shot whilst he was sulking in a corner after he got back.  It’s the feline version of a mean and moody portrait.  Despite the expression he really is a a rather lovable rogue. Well I think so although my husband begs to differ. His name is Montgomery, Monty for short. He’s named after a famous British World War II general.

 

Farewell Winter

Spring is here and as a last goodbye to this winter past I am showing my favorite personal winter portrait. It was taken in Vermont in December 2009. My daughter got up at daybreak to watch the first snow of the season falling. I woke up to find her sitting quietly in the corner of the hotel room with the drapes open just watching the flakes falling. There’s always something wonderful about the first snowfall each year whatever age you are. The portrait was taken using the available natural light.

***FREE BABY PORTRAIT SESSIONS***

IMG_45085x10bwni

 

 One of my favorite ages for photographing babies is the first year months when they give great eye contact and still have a lot of that baby charm. The perfect portrait milestones are 3-4 months, 6 months and 12 months.  To help parents not to miss capturing this unique and fleeting time in a child’s life we are extending free baby portrait sessions* at the studio for the month of April. The offer applies to babies up to 12 months for weekday sessions. Please contact the studio for additional information or to reserve a slot. Limited availability and the slots will go so hurry! 

* Free sessions are for weekday bookings. Model release forms must be signed prior to the shoot to allow studio use of the images for promotional purposes. Baby and parent portraits can be included in the session if the studio schedule allows. Prints are not included in this offer and are purchased separately. This offer does not apply to newborn sessions.

Happy New Year

We would like to wish all our valued clients a healthy, safe and very happy new year.
The studio is currently finalizing all accounts for 2009 sessions.  Clients from last year are welcome to place an additional print order from their session on or before January 31 2010.
 
After January 31 2010 only the purchased images from 2009 sessions will be archived. All other files will be deleted. This is a final opportunity to make a purchase that you may have forgotten to do last year. If you are interested, please contact the studio to make arrangements for your portrait gallery to be reopened.
 

Winter Mini Sessions

Thinking about gifts for the holidays?

Short outdoor children’s mini sessions are now booking for the season. They are held weekday afternoons weather permitting. It’s a great chance to have some special portraits taken to make into gifts or cards for the family. These sessions are best for 1-3 children and can either focus on group or individual portraits. Details are on the website under “Specials”. Hurry, limited slots available!

Autumnal

I photographed these three brothers last week and with a splash of orange in the background and some discovered apples on the grass, these portraits have a fall feel about them!

Two More Sisters

I just love these portraits! The girls looked fantastic their black dresses. The choice of dress color worked so well with the setting and worked perfectly to focus the viewer on the important aspects of the portraits-expression and togetherness.

Concord Fall Festival

We will be exhibiting at the Concord Fall Festival being held at The Old Manse this weekend. (October 10-13.)  The festival includes exhibits by other local artists, produce for sales by local farmers and artisans, poetry readings and lots more.

Mike is taking some time this fall to photograph landscapes. Recently he got up even earlier than the kids (that’s quite something) and spent some time in Concord. Here’s a couple of landscapes from his dawn session.
