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.
I spent a delightful hour with these children. This little girl had a fun time exploring the bridge and playing with bubbles. She also has three fantastic brothers. They love soccer and I think they make a fantastic team. The portrait below is one of my favorites this year.
Last week I spent some time with this brother and sister for their session in one of the orchards in the area. Mike helped out on this shoot and we got some great images. In fact it’s taken me almost a week to pick my favorites, well some of them at least. They’ll be more to follow in the gallery!
I last photographed this young man with his family a couple of years ago. I can’t believe how time goes by so fast. It was great to seeing him again, this time for his senior portraits.
I very much enjoyed my time photographing this young lady and we’ve got some images that will make for a great proof gallery. She had a lovely smile which I think helped drive away the rain clouds that threatened at the start of the shoot. Best of luck to her with her college search.
I love doing sessions in September with the lovely late late summer evening light.
Here’s two from a mini session this week. The second group portrait was the very last shot taken. The final ones often make for fun images. This one is the “ARE WE DONE YET?” type of photo.
I will be offering mini sessions on a space available basis during the fall session. Details will be posted soon.
Never think of ages or birthdays as the only reason to have a photo sessions. There are many events both big and small in your children’s lives that can be the perfect reason for a portrait. Both the brother and sister from this session are about to begin some extended travel. I wish them all the best on their adventures. For Mom and Dad I hope these picture create a special memory for them.
It was really enjoyable photgraphing these siblings (and Mom and dad too)!
Here’s a preview of the albums I sell. They are a popular purchase at the moment and are a great addition to an order. The albums are handmade in black leather and come in a lined presentation box. Albums are offered for 5×4, 7×5 and 10×8 prints. Clients who spend $350 on prints can purchase albums at 10% off the a la carte price. 20% and 30% discounts are also offered at other print purchase amounts.

My last entry prompted me to give you a bit more insight into my approach to high school senior shoots.
In many cases a senior session is booked because students need a portrait for the upcoming school yearbook. All the students I work with have reasonably relaxed school photo requirements with no specific poses or backgrounds. During the one hour session we devote half the time to head and shoulder portraits. The rest of the session concentrates on more environmental or arty images. The end result is a proof gallery which has a great variety of photographs. The students and their families always love what they see, buy portraits and comment on what a great memory it makes. After all, finishing high school and moving on to college is an important milestone and worth capturing with photos!
Maybe you have no choice but to go with a assigned school photographer for a standard required yearbook portrait. No problem. You can still consider booking a separate session with me which reflects your style. Modern traditional, urban chic or country casual… lots of possibilities for fun, fresh photos.
Check out my senior gallery on my main website and contact me if you are interested in a session.
Here’s another fun session from this week with a lovely girl busy getting ready for her final school year and making college choices. She has a fabulous smile and I think the weather thought that too. After threatening rain the sun reappeared just as we started the shoot!
