These sessions go really fast!  Limited to five only at this very special price!  These sessions are not available for newborns due to the nature of newborn sessions and the time involved.  I’d also recommend that children should be able to at least sit up unattended for these types of sessions.   Please contact me for more information.  Once they’re gone they’re gone!

First Communion is a very special time in a young person’s life!  First Communion sessions are in full swing at the studio right now so I’m sharing these with you!  Such a fun session with Miss “H” as she prepares for her very special day!  At the studio we have an indoor studio and a chapel to shoot in as well as a beautiful outdoor area that we can use, weather permitting of course!  This session was shot inside using the studio and a natural light area for some of the shots as well as the chapel.

Thank you everyone for your concerns over my daughter’s recent injuries.   The notes, flowers, gifts and cards are all so appreciated.  We are on the road to recovery and her stitches will be out within the next couple of days, thank goodness, it’s not easy keeping a kid full of stitches and open injuries clean .  As I am getting caught up, please  bear with me as I catch up with emails, they are out of control!

I wanted to release a quick blog post of this beautiful young lady who will be surprising her dad with some beautiful photographs for Christmas!  She is so stunning I couldn’t wait to share!   Fourteen and taller than me…okay, I’m little, but still, she’s just incredible!  We had to work fast, it was really cold out when we shot these!  We worked fast but got fabulous shots!  Here’s a small peek!

I’m so behind in my blog posts!  This is my busy season and when I’m busy I tend to let the blog sit.  Slowly but surely I’ll get more up so you can see some more of the recent work I’ve been creating!  Seems I’ve been shooting a wedding or two every weekend which is crazy!  Anyhow I just wanted to share a few shots from this session I had with the “M” girls!  They’re so pretty!

Keep your eyes peeled for more blog posts to come…I’ve got tons of editing to get through!  I’m currently running two computers 24/7!  This is always the busiest time of the year!  And I’m so lucky to have the most fabulous clients!

So sorry if everyone thinks I am ignoring my blog!  Fact is I’ve been so busy that blogging has moved to the bottom of my list of things to do!  I’ve been so busy shooting and editing!  I want to show off some of Miss “H” ‘s photographs from her senior photo session!  She looks so beautiful!  Senior portrait sessions are so much fun!

I had the pleasure of shooting Sarah’s senior portrait session!  She’s an incredible person!  Not only is she smart and one of the top students in her class but she’s beautiful and fun too!  We had a great time down by the ocean shooting this session!  One of the perks of my job is getting to shoot in places I didn’t even know existed!   Many of my clients know of or have access to places that I had no clue were out there!  The evening of this shoot was just beautiful and being by the water totally made my night!  Anyway, here’s a peek of Sarah’s session!  Sarah you ROCKED it girl!

Senior photography is one of my favorite types of sessions!  I have so much fun with this age group, they are really into their sessions and I enjoy the time I spend with them during these sessions!  I have just a few sessions left available for September at this time!  If you’d like to get your senior session scheduled contact me ASAP to get on the calendar!  Some schools do have a contracted photographer that you must use for your yearbook photos but you are free to hire your own photographer for your other senior photos that you’ll share with friends and family and hang on your walls!  Other schools allow you to use photographs from your own photographer as long as they fit to their standard specifications, just check with your yearbook adviser for more information!  Chose someone who has work you adore and your session will result in unique photographs all about you that you’ll cherish for years to come and be proud to show off!

It’s not too late to get your senior portraits done!  Some schools have contracted photographers for yearbook photos.  You can have them shoot your yearbook photo and then hire your own favorite photographer for some stunning personalized photographs to hand out to family and friends and display!  Many schools do not force you to use the contracted photographer any longer.  Check with your yearbook advisor to see what the rules are for your school!  They usually have a spec sheet for you to bring to your photographer with what is required.  If you are allowed to submit a photo taken by your own photographer you can have something no one else has!   I’ve got a few openings left in September so if you haven’t scheduled your session yet, do it soon!  You can select a traditional studio session like the photographs in this post, or an on-location session which you’ll see examples of in posts below this post.

Kelsey is a senior this year and she wanted her senior portrait session to reflect her personality and what better place to shoot it than at her fabulous home!  They have an incredible place with the most incredible old barn!  It has beautiful flaking paint and it’s so rustic and perfect for a session!   Kelsey is a very down to earth casual girl and I just love her natural look and her freckles!   She has a lot of different “looks” too…we had a lot of fun shooting her session!

RI Senior PortraitsRI Senior PortraitsRI Senior PhotographerRI High School Senior PhotographyRI Senior PhotographyRI Senior PhotographerRI Senior PhotographerRI Senior PortraitsHope you love them Kelsey!  You’re adorable!

Just a quick reminder that the studio is closed Friday, August 6th through Sunday, August 15th.  I hope that everyone is enjoying this fabulous summer!  I have been loving every second!

Chasha was in the studio recently to get some updated photos for her portfolio…and it was warm enough to get outside too which is always an added plus!
