Christmas 2009 Pics

Posted on January 29, 2010

Christmas time is a whirlwind of activity for any photographer. I could barely keep up with all the requests from longtime customers and new friends, from the simple needing a picture for our christmas cards to a special capture to use as Christmas presents to share with family and friends so here are some of my faves from the last month.

A special moment between sisters reading a special book. I tweaked this one a bit and absoloutely loved it. They used this on the family Christmas Card bought a ton to share with family and friends along with many other great pictures from that session. I even printed this one on metallic paper to use as a studio sample and WOW what an amazing picture that needs to be seen to be believed. I am ordering one for a studio sample again because once Mom saw it she had to have that one to, LOL!

These pictures were of another family I had done earlier in the year outside in the fall and we got together for this Christmas shoot of the kids. The little girl had such big beautiful brown eyes I knew they would be amazing under studio lights and they were.
Beautiful brown eyes, Dad will never be able to say no to these!

I even had a baby over. This was great!

So precious, I must have taken hundreds of pictures, little toes and fingers with big dark eyes and those long lashes, too cute.

There were more and I wish I could post them all sorry!

I also have to say these are some of my funnest  and most rewarding shoots and I think this is what sets me apart from the rest of the photgraphers. I love capturing these moments with kids, I thoroughly enjoy these sessions and would do them all day every day if I could.  I will always make sure you never feel rushed during these sessions as they can last 2+ hours and I usually take 2-300 pictures but the shots at the end are sooo worth it. The parents are always so happy I spent this time with their kids to capture these special years. They only come once and I hope to capture that picture that will be looked at for years and years to come with great fondness. I may not be remembered but I can hear Mom and Dad saying to their grown kids I remember when you were that cute. I know because I have a few picture that do that for me of my 15 and 18 year old.

Heres hoping for another great year, it is what you make it so make the most of it!

Portrait Day at Hair Obsession

Posted on August 7, 2009

We had another great Portrait Party Day on July 25th at our salon, Hair Obsession in Leominster Mass and plan on making this a regualr occurence of like once a month, maybe come up with fun themes and add different activities for the kids that can be incorporated into the portraits.

This time I used a solid backdrop with the intent of masking out the background and adding fun backdrops to the image similar to Green Screen or ChromaKey photography.

The day was fun, the pictures came out great and most importantly everyone had fun.

Here a a few of my favorite shots from the day.
Mackenzie, she came in with the right attitude and outfit for this day and we had lost of fun.
