Rewarding

Have you ever had someone thank you for something you had done YEARS ago? I just had that recent experience via the internet.
In my high school days of photography I had done engagement pictures for the friend of a friend. OK that was a many moons ago :) Apparently the young lady asked my friend if she was still in contact with me and told her to thank me.... OK for what you wonder. Her husband died some years ago from cancer and she still remembers me taking those pictures- because she loves them. WOW!!! I am floored and deeply touched that she remembers who did those. It reminds me of why photography is one of the most powerful gifts you can have.. it lasts forever and reminds us of times gone by and can evoke emotions that moves us deeply.
This my friends is why I do what I do.

Lilah & Zyda

Just look at these two best friends, so beautiful!
OK- the plan was to have them both in angel wings together but as toddlers go.. we the adults did not get to win that battle.. this day anyway :)
For all the chasing and bribing going on, we did manage to get some really precious shots.

Brittany

Brittany was such a lovely girl to photograph. Not once did I get a bad expression.. ok we had allot of blinking going on but we worked around that. She chose to have her pictures at the White River Park and on Mass Ave- good choices for such a beautiful young lady.

Stacey- part 2

Poor Stacey it was 50 degrees and she was in short sleeves for most of the session freezeing. But I never heard one complaint- such a trooper and really fun gal to photograph. I really enjoyed working with Stacey and her mom, hopefully she will be as pleased with her images as I am.

Clare & Eric

We snuck in an engagement shoot over the weekend of my baby sister and her man. Isn't she beautiful.. I can not wait to do her wedding pictures.

Stacey- part 1

Ok, I just can't stand it, I have to post these pictures. We are not done with her session yet (due to weather) but I am completely in love with these images. Her smile is so geniune you can't help but love it.

My buddy is 9 months old

He's back... yep my little buddy just turned 9 months old. So I went out and bought a cool new wagon, a little stepper and a big stuffed bear for the occasion. I'm glad I did- he is so adorable. Once I brought out the blocks, he decided it was "teething" time. I love this little man and his mom has big plans for his birthday shoot in a few months so stay tuned.

Website

Timmy

This young man like most others- would not give up a smile. He has a beautiful smile but would not let me have it for pictures. We did a really cool shoot in his uncles garage with the car and then the whole family came to the studio a month later to finish up.

Baby brother

Oh my goodness what a few months makes in the comfort of a child. Big sister had her pictures taken before Christmas and was not really sure about the whole process. This time she was ready to roll, she even remember what button to push on my camera to make the lights flash- she loved it. Every time I put my camera down she was right there ready for "her turn" I think we have a little photographer in the making. Baby brother is 5 weeks old and just a peach.. ok his a gassy little man but none the less absolutely as perfects as a baby can be.
