We had a chilly afternoon for this shoot.  The shades of brown nutmeg and cinammon we now see all around is natures way of saying that the curtain is coming down on Autumn. These two kids were just wonderful and this was a gem of a session! As darkness was falling I spotted one last pool of light on some freshly fallen yellow leaves on the way back to the car. Despite being cold, the children were gracious enough to try a few last shots in the fading light. It was well worth giving it a go! This is going to be a gorgeous gallery. 

Outdoor sessions will still be offered on week by week basis, depending on the weather. Due to the time change mini sessions are more appropriate for children on weekdays.

I loved photographing the three older sisters earlier in the Summer and now there are FOUR!  Their youngest sister arrived just 5 days ago and what a little treasure she is.

So for Mom, here are my four portrait picks to get things rolling with regards to the birth announcements.

Here’s a toddler from a recent session enjoying the Fall, leaves and all! She was a real little sweetie and we have some very nice images from the session.

Here’s a selection from a recent studio session. A kiss and a look from the eldest brother was just enough to bring out adorable expressions from the little guy.  A big thank you to the eldest brother for helping me get the attention of his sibling. He worked very hard as my assistant when he wasn’t in the portraits!

Loved this family shoot! This two year old played quite the part. She gave me smiles, a few laughs and cheeky looks too. I also got a few indignant stares when I picked up the camera. She very cleverly figured out I was fun to be with if I wasn’t taking photos! It was wonderful meeting Mom and Dad too.

I AM AN OCTOBER GIRL

I AM THE PROUD RECIPIENT OF MY FIRST PAYMENT FROM THE TOOTH FAIRY

I AM NOW SIX

Celebrating another year of my funny, happy go lucky, special daughter!

It was a pleasure to photograph this two year old girl. As the newest member of the family I am sure she is bringing lots of joy to her parents and siblings. Sometimes toddlers take the job of being photographed very seriously. Apparently this girl was all smiles in the car home and we were wondering how many smiles happened for the camera. Well here’s a half smile and it happens to be one of my favorites!

About this time last year I posted portraits from a personal shoot in my backyard. Here are this years images from the same location. We have a vernal pond which grows some tall grasses through the summer that turn brown by Fall. It’s a very convenient and pretty setting!

I photographed this little guy in studio when he was a baby. What a treat it was to meet him again for more photos. He’s certainly enjoying his status as an active inquiring two year old and what fun he was. I was very happy to chase him around with my camera.

When I met up with these two children last week I told them it was like meeting two old friends again. This is my fourth year taking their portraits and I really do love spending time with them. Their session is always one of the Fall season’s highlights.
