Mixing It Up

Here’s a few selections from a recent studio session for a high school senior. It was hard to pick out portraits for the blog because I had so many favorites. I think his Mom did too! The one good thing about studio is we can mix it up a bit with casual outdoor, formal indoor and as well as working on  some themed images which is great for musicians and sports students. It was a pleasure to photograph this young man and learn about his interests and college plans. I was very impressed with his dedication to his studies and music and I wish him all the very best for his final year at school.

High School Senior Session

Fun session with this high school senior done before the madness of back to school got going. I really liked one of her clothing choices as shown in these portraits. The crochet/lace pattern gave some extra detail and texture with out it being in any way distracting. I am looking forward to receiving the families selections for the yearbook portrait and prints!

 

8 Month Old In Studio

Here’s a beautiful little girl. Love the smile in the third image.  I photographed her sister at exactly at the same age @ 8 months old and it’s was a delight to see the family back in studio again. Loved  the cream dress here. Sometimes some dresses can look fussy on babies particularly if there’s lots of bows and the fabric is stiff. This one was simple in design, with soft pleated fabric to give some added texture and detail.  Perfect for portraits!

Someone Older and Someone New

 

I am looking forward to seeing the portraits this family ordered when the images come  back from the lab later this week/early next week. I think they are going to be very special. Here are some of my picks from the session although it was very hard to decide what to post on the blog.  I photographed the eldest brother when he was just six months old. It was lovely to return to the house to see how grown up he is and to meet his brother for the first time. They were quite the pair and very fun to photograph!

 

 

Two Brothers and some busy fun!

 

Loved this session. It was such fun. The boys donated their snacks to the birds before we even got going. A very generous gesture indeed! I thought they might get hungry but it didn’t seem like they needed to refuel with any food. They were all energy all the time  in the best possible way!

 

 

 

Mini-sessions for 2014 Seniors

 

It’s been good to get going with this years senior sessions. We have our standard full sessions available but starting in September we are also offering limited weekday mini sessions for yearbook portraits. These sessions are great for those students who have a hectic schedule ahead or do not want to spend time on a full photo session.

So what’s involved? You’ll need to come on over to Littleton in your outfit of choice for a half hour shoot. We take the photos, provide you with an online mini gallery of portraits to view and then prepare your portrait of choice for the 2014 yearbook. You get a 5×7 print of the portrait too as well as a copy for your Facebook page. Cost $95. All are welcome to purchase additional prints but no minimum print order is required for these sessions.

Interested? Send Jane an email and she’d be happy to give you more information including session availability.

Changing seasons

This last week has had a little bit of a fall feel to it but the forecast is for hot and toasty weather so we still have plenty of summer left. The late summer light of September, the faded grasses, and still warm evenings make September one of my favorite months for sessions and produces some of the best images of the year. There is still some availability for September which I would recommend as one of the optimal times of the year for a session. Of course October has some fall color which adds a unique element to portraits and is always popular but one of my other favorite months is November when this session was done last year, at the start of the month there is still some fall color but later in the month there are lovely soft muted browns and yellows which set off portraits in a subtle way.

 

Clouds and Smiles

 

 

So here in MA it seems like we’ve not had a good stretch of regular summer days. It’s been hot and humid, wet and humid or just plain  wet since June. It was great to be able to get this session done prior to some rainy weather. The evening was cloudy but clouds ( provided they are not the dark and stormy variety) can really make the color pop in photos. It was a really relaxing session and this little girl really made me smile. This family have just relocated back to their home country of Finland and I hope everything is going well for them. These portraits ( due to be delivered to me from the lab today )  should make a nice memory of their time here in the Boston area!

 

 

Newborn/family session

Well here I am in my office today preparing a proof gallery from a recent outside session. I feel like I’ve been looking at a lot of grass in portraits recently so for a change of scene, here’s a few from one of my newborn family sessions held at the studio. This was a return visit for this family as I had photographed the little girl when she was just a couple of weeks old. My how time moves on! It was a fun session!

At Home At Play

It was great to see this brother and sister again. I love going to see them. I think this is the third or fourth year I have taken their photos. For the past couple of years it has worked very nicely photographing them individually at their house playing their own games. I usually like to plan sessions but an unstructured approach has served me well here. A few favorite activities on hand and just see where things go including some funny moments with Mom, well more specifically tweaking Moms nose!
