More From My Vacation
Why does just one week back from my vacation feel more like a month? It always amazes me how vacations always feel like they happened an age ago right from the day you return home. I still haven’t finished the laundry!
Creating The Memories
Here’s a studio session from this week. This girl came in to be photographed in her ballet recital dress. When Mom took her hair down at the end of the session is was so beautifully wavy I just had to get some extra shots. This last portrait is one for the memory book. The day after this she had 9 inches cut off her hair and donated the locks to Pantene Beautiful Lengths which makes wigs for cancer patients. Way to go L! A lot of people are very proud of you.
My Favorite Place In The Whole Wide World!
Just back from vacation. We have visited the Lake Champlain Islands for the past four summers. ( Well, they do say routine is good for the kids!) I have decided it’s MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD. Granted I don’t travel too much at the moment but the sunsets, the scenery, the peacefulness is magical. I never want to leave. Thank you to Kaye and Ed for their perfect lake house rental. We’ve loved every minute there!
Here’s the first of my vacation blogs. More to follow
High School Senior Season
This is a preview from the first of my high school senior sessions for 2010 and it was a great way to start. I really enjoyed my time with this girl. She was very relaxed with a really sunny smile. For anyone out there considering one of these sessions, now is the time to book it before the back to school schedule begins!
Minimum Print Purchases For Fall/Holiday Season
Minimum print purchases will apply to all sessions scheduled during the Fall and Holiday season (September-November 2010) These are as follows
Full outdoor sessions $350 , studio sessions $275 and mini sessions $225
Extensive work is put into both shooting the images and creating the portraits for any given session. Families who book a full session with us typically spend a minimum of $500 plus. Mini sessions are ideal those who wish to place a smaller print order and the minimum print purchase reflects this.
Fall sessions are booking now. Please contact the studio to reserve your session.
Mother-Daughter Session
It was good to photograph this family again. They are longstanding and very valued clients. This time it was for mother daughter portraits at our local park.
Siblings In Studio
I photographed the little guy in this family when he was a newborn. We decided he should come back for some portraits with his sisters when he was able to hold his head up steady. Doesn’t he look like he’s going to be well watched over by his sisters? I thought he would be putty in their hands but not so. He ruled the show here. In fact he was simply too strong to sit with his eldest sister and I only got a few seconds to shoot that set up. The girls came in very cute dresses so we did a few individual portraits too. The youngest always shows me some great expressions and the oldest is always a good helper. They are such fun to photograph.
Fun girl, a dress and a tutu.
This girl did such a wonderful job in studio. She was 41/2 but was so good in front of the camera that I extended the session. I’m glad I did as we got a real variety of portraits. I’m looking forward to putting this gallery together!
A Little Ray Of Sunshine
We are in a long stretch of hot hot sunny days, some more humid and thundery than others. There seems to be no end in sight. PERFECT. Mike and I have been neglecting our own experiments with the camera of late. Must get back to doing more personal work. Here’s one from some recent camera play using the last sun rays of the day.
Sisters and Flowers
It was lovely to see these sisters again for some Summer portraits. We did the shoot against the backdrop of their garden. They have some wonderful flowers and bushes in bloom, such a beautiful setting. I always find it hard to put the camera away. When one of their dogs came out after the session..well…I just had to get the camera out again!
