On a very rainy Saturday morning it was a real treat to be inside and photographing this baby girl at the studio. She was super relaxed in front of the lights. I had a lot of fun and was glad we could acommodate Mom’s busy schedule. It was great meeting them both.
Last week, this little guy came to the studio……
with a very stylish cap.
He wore it for all of FIVE seconds. I’ll take five. Five is better than none and it was enough to capture a couple of lovely portraits including this one.
and then before I knew it the cap was gone!
Spring and summer in my backyard does not usually present the best natural light for portraits. We are encircled by many tall trees. This year we also have numerous wildflowers so I had to get out the camera. OK maybe wildflowers is a bit too fancy a word for it. We are overrun by weeds especially dandelions. I think this is the end result of nine years avoiding weedkiller. Oh well I suppose if it green and grows I should be happy!
Another sister session to show. These two were delightful and big sister was so bubbly. Here are some of their individual portraits.
Here’s another preview from last week. It was a very fun session with two sisters. I set up the bed in studio for the last set of portraits. This black and white image was the final shot taken and it was one of my favorites!
Here’s a preview from one of several in studio sessions this week. This very adorable little girl will have her first birthday very soon. Happy birthday to her!
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.
There are plenty of signs that Spring is here, flowers, blossoms green leaves and not forgetting school proms. This lovely young lady came in to my studio this week for some portraits in her prom dress. She looked great and it was a pleasure meeting her.
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.
A preview from another baby session this week. We have some lovely portraits in the making for the gallery.
