What a cutie!!!

Wow. What a great photo session this week! The cutest 7 month old came in for her portrait and was such a delight.

My favorite photo from the session has to be this one with the girl's pink jacket on. The blue trim picks up the baby's lovely blue eyes. What fun!

She wore two different outfits and we took some diaper shots during the clothing change. Check out those cute little toes and her adorable expression!






















I really enjoyed photographing her with her Mom, too. Both Mom and baby's expressions are wonderful and I love how their arms and hands are holding one another. I also love how the baby is grasping the fabric of Mom's cowl-neck shirt... so sweet and gentle.

Yay! We won some awards at the annual MA photography convention and print competition!

Last weekend the Professional Photographers of Massachusetts held their annual convention and print competition and I was thrilled to have my images win red and blue ribbons!














Blue Ribbon Winner, "Who, Me?"

They were judged by a panel of photographers who critiqued the images on 12 different levels from creativity to composition, lighting, posing, form and impact.

Here are the rest of the award-winners:

Got One!

Lindsay and McDuff





















Yippee!



There wasn't enough space to enter this last one (only 6 images/entrant are allowed), but I loved it and it was in the running so here it is:

















The Lookout

Sisters, Sisters!

Last week we had four sisters in the studio. What a time we had! It was great. I've been photographing these girls since the eldest was a baby and it's wonderful to see how they've grown.













It still amazes me how different and beautiful children from the same parents can be! From hair color to personalities - what great kids and a fun family, too!

The baby is now 7 months old and is starting to crawl and loves to inspect her toes, too!

Busy, busy, busy!

Hi Everyone!

Three great kids

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing these three great kids on a new backdrop of mine.








The kids were wonderful to work with and we got some amazing images. Lots of fun all around!

Bugs in the Studio?!!!

Well, Halloween has come and gone, but I had the privilege of photographing three very cute little insects in the studio last week.













We had a lovely ladybug, a beautiful butterfly, and a buzzing bee.

When the three got together, they (and I) had a rollicking good time!

Garden Portrait

We took advantage of the lovely weather today to take some family portraits in a local backyard. The weather was warm and the sunlight and colors were fantastic.

This family was lots of fun. The girl wore her favorite dress and her brother dressed to compliment her.

Their dog was wonderfully behaved and stayed put for many different poses and photographs.

Finally, we finished with a sweet portrait of mother and daughter.
