A Special Reason For A Portrait

Jane — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:27:20 +0000

I photographed this lovely little girl last year. She recently reached an important milestone and successfully completed her treatment for leukemia. I thought this was a special enough a reason to stop by and take some photographs for the family. She has so grown up this past year too!

This family is working very hard to raise money for The Jimmy Fund to help with the fight against infant leukemia. You can read more information about this here. For anyone out there, new visitors and all my clients, reading this, please think about making a donation to this very important cause.

Endeavour

I’ve been away in sunny Florida this week and will be busy returning emails and phone calls over the next couple of days for anyone who has contacted me. While I was there the Shuttle Endeavour was launched in a rare night launch (possibly the last ever!). Taking photos of it was a challenge as I had travelled light with just a small lens and no tripod, but I think these images catch the atmosphere of waiting on Cocoa Beach for the launch and the awe inspiring sight of it streaking into space.

A Walk in the Park

Well here we are heading rapidly toward Holiday season and this session felt more like an shoot in September! Here are two super cute kids from this afternoon’s family session!

The Golden Hour

In photography there’s a term called “The Golden Hour”. It’s the last hour before sundown when light is at it’s most perfect. The golden hour during this session was one of the best I’ve seen and on the first day of November too! The perfect light was complemented by this fantastic young lady. She was wonderful to photograph and we’ve got some great images for her high school senior gallery.

Here’s a selection from a family session last week - complete with a lovely baby and glorious fall color.

One lucky girl …

… to have such a cute baby sister and such a handsome dog! We had a glorious New England fall afternoon and a perfect setting by this family’s house to capture some lovely images, it was a delightful session.

Terrific Trio

Q. What do you get with three kids under four? A. A fun photo session. Well it was for me! This trio were a delight to photograph (Mom and Dad too of course) and I’ve got some great images picked out for the gallery.

Introducing the mini storyboard….

With Holiday time just around the corner people often book photo sessions with a view to giving prints as gifts. Small desk prints are often the items of choice. I have just launched mini storyboards for the upcoming season and have to say for a little extra money the are well worth considering as an alternative gift. They even come with a display easel! Information on these storyboards can be found on my main website under “specials”.

Summing it up!

Apologies! My client sneek peaks here on the blog are running a bit behind schedule. It’s a busy time!

Here are some from a recent session. Lovely family + warm fall evening = special moments captured!

Star of the Show?

Jane — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:13:52 +0000

This little girl did her best to be star of the show in this session. I had plans to photograph her holding hands with her big brothers but she she had other ideas as you can see in the second photo! Her brothers thought this most amusing. Her brothers stepped up to the occasion though and this was a fun family session.
