Carlos: its fun to watch you grow!

Carlos….I’d describe him as a bit of a ladies man.  Last year the only boy in his classroom, I’d find him sitting just outside the girls restroom, waiting for the girls in his classroom (the class all went at the same time on the way to/from another class in the building).  He’d be waiting  patiently and always smiling.  He’s got a huge heart an is handsome as can be.   His Mom and Dad are some of my childhood friends and I think he’s the luckiest boy I know!  He’s one of my favorite subjects and I’m grooming him for his modeling days!  He came to live with his parents when he was 18 months old and every session we shoot,  Peg (mom) has a set of photos that we take specifically to send back to Guatemala to his “tummy mummy”.   Peg is one of the most thoughtful people I know!!!

Again, Carlos, it truly is a pleasure to watch you grow!

On a personal note, this last week has been a tough one.  I was sick three days of the week and ended today attending two funerals for two great friends who lost their dads.  I’m emotionally and physically tired.    I never like to air negative so to end this post, I’m about caught up on my creations and can’t even wait to start getting the orders in to see the photos in print!  It feels good! 

Enjoy!!

A fine specimen, Indeed!!

Momma Julie is dying to see these so I thought I’d take a break from Christmas card creations to post a sneak for her.  She straight up asked me if I thought her baby was one of the finest specimen’s I’d ever seen and I could not disagree….lovely in every way!!    Sweet disposition, perfect skin, fabulous parents….she’s got it all!!   Oh, and I have to plug the greatest auntie(s) ever, one of them happens to be one of my dearest friends!

 

I love this one……Here’s big sister, Stella….

So blessed to have a job that brings folks like this into my life!   Thanks so much, Bob & Julie, for trusting me with your memories!  She’s a treasure!

Enjoy!

Omg, cheeks you could eat!! Beautiful baby girl!!

I’m a sucker for those freckles…….

and pair them up with a cute haircut and a charming personality and I’m totally hooked!!   I think he’s my favorite client of the year, you know what he said to me:  “I’m going to save my allowance and give it to mom to help pay for our next photoshoot with you”.  LOVE HIM!!

Oh my gosh! I about fell out of my chair with that “typical” brothers picture.. LOL! Don’t I know how that goes down. What a great capture on that one, Kelly! :D

Welcome to Maine….

where the weather is anything but predictable!  The days on the East coast are so short now its crazy trying to make time to squeeze in my family sessions  so when I arrived and the skies were overcast, at first I worried night might fall too fast…but gosh we moved through some poses and had so much fun!   Lately we are getting lucky (actually, I just think my business is very blessed) with some great weather!  Tracy & Rob are pretty blessed too – these three great kids belong to them and if you spend any time with this family, you know they cherish each other!  

Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer!!  I know there are many choices out there nowadays and I truly cherish those who chose me!!

Enjoy!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Took my girlies into the studio and met my girl Melissa (we share studio space and similar styles).  Together we came up with this cute set for our Christmas portraits.   Usually I run a day of specials but with such a busy fall I wasn’t sure that I wanted to take on the craziness that the special brings so I didn’t advertise.  I have had quite a few inquires about Christmas portraits so I’m booking them as I can. I just wanted to show off what the holiday look will be this year!  More of a primitive/rustic sort of look.   I’m cutting this short so I can run and shoot an awesome family!  

Enjoy!!
