Good golly I had the cutest little love in the studio the other day!  It’s been such a busy season for us this year and I am so busy editing and shooting and getting things out to everyone!  I promise I’ll have more cuties to share soon but I just wanted to pop in with a couple of photos of this little cutie!  She has that porcelain doll look!  Her grandmother made this beautiful layette in this first shot!  It was perfect on her!

Erica and Bill are expecting their first baby in just a couple of weeks!  They came in for a maternity shoot and we had a ball!  Erica had her hair and makeup perfectly done and brought tons of outfits and accessories, she really did a great job planning what she wanted to wear for her session!  So did Bill!  Poor guy, I kept insisting on no shirt and he had brought all sorts of cool clothes!  LOL   These two are so beautiful together as well as separately, can you imagine how beautiful their baby is going to be!?!  Here is a peek from their session with some of my favorite shots!

I had the honor of photographing another beautiful wedding at a beautiful private residence!  Zenobia was stunning and did not stop smiling all day!  I love these happy brides!  Jay was very handsome and they made a perfect match!  The location was just exquisite with the most perfect beautiful tree (complete with tree swing) that they said their vows under and the grapevines and walls where we did their formals!  What a beautiful spot for pictures!  It was extremely sunny during their vows, but as the sun set after there was lots of beautiful light!  Zenobia’s and Jay’s families were loads of fun and ready to have a lot of fun dancing and singing to the music by one of the Platters lead singers, Tony Funches (fabulous by the way)!  It was a really fun wedding and even the kids (and let me tell you, there were oodles of beautiful babies at this wedding) were having a blast all the way through to the ice cream sundaes at the end!  Here is a quick peek of their special day!

This little princess came in to the studio the other day for her first professional photo session at 11 days old! Not once did she close her eyes and she was already starting to loose the newborn curl! She was one of the sweetest awake babies I have ever photographed! Her eyes are the biggest eyes I have ever seen…just incredibly beautiful! Here are a few from her session! I’m sure you’ll agree how beautiful she is!  Lucky for us it was a beautiful evening and right around the golden hour of sunset so we could get some beautiful outside shots!  They are, of course, my favorites!

11 days old and this little girl was so very strong!

She was the cutest little thing!  I enjoyed shooting her newborn session! I double enjoyed that we were able to take her outside!   Mom and Dad I’ll be in touch in about two weeks with your private gallery!  I hope you enjoy this peek for now!

The new studio is right on schedule and will be open on September 1st!  The fall schedule is booking up like crazy, just as in past years!  The fall is such a busy time for the studio with everyone getting their senior photos, family photos and holiday photos!  Book early!

Mr. A came into the studio recently for a six month session.  He was as cute as could be!  This is a fun age!  I know you’ve all heard me say it before, but once your baby is able to sit well and not yet crawling and walking it is one of the perfect times for a photoshoot!  It’s one of the milestone sessions!  Once babies become more mobile and start crawling and walking things become a bit more difficult.  But this age, they will sit there and smile for you and just be the most adorable little things!   Baby “A”‘s mama brought along a bunch of cute outfits and hats including a beautiful hand knit sweater by a very special grandmother who never got to meet this little guy!  Here are a few images from his session at the studio!

Little Miss “M” is just under two and I had her come see me for a fun little tea party.  This age can be a tough one to photograph but I find if we try to make the session fun and playful children of this age tend to do a lot better than in a studio situation.  It took her a few to warm up but in the end I think she had a good time!  We shot these just before sunset which gave us some very pretty light!

A little shy at first!

Miss “M” is just so very sweet!  I knew she’d love a tea party!  She was as cute as can be and she was playing, which is much more acceptable to a child her age!  She even brought her very special lovey teddy!  To Miss “M’s” mama I hope you love this peek….it’s just too adorable!

Still have a few openings for the remainder of the year!  Looks like we have a busy September – December!  So much fun!  Contact the studio today to get your session scheduled!  You can even book a fun tea party session for your child!

I’m so excited to share this peek with you at Tara and Ty’s wedding!  First off Tara is the most fun person ever!  She’s fully of energy and she loves details!  Ty made a handsome groom, what more can I say, seriously a fun wedding, even if it was extremely hot!  Tara is like your long lost best friend from the first time you meet her, I really enjoyed their wedding!   This wedding involved beautiful colors, the most beautiful flowers, peacocks and peacock feathers, lots of locations to shoot formals at and even Captain Clam Cakes, and a cannon, a carousel, a beach, and even a choreographed dance, what’s better than that!?  The reception was held at the Cultural Center in Fall River, what a beautiful, classic venue!  So much I want to share with you, so be ready for an extra large amount of eye candy here!

We are booking the popular fall season NOW!  Fall is always the most popular time for sessions and I always book my schedule right out!   So if you’re thinking of doing a session in the months of September – December you need to book now!   I hate saying no,but every year I find myself turning clients away who didn’t book early enough!!!  All sessions must be shot by November 19th in order for prints to be in in time for the holidays!  If you’re thinking about ordering some of our beautiful custom holiday cards with photos from your session on them (always a big hit) those orders must be in early enough to allow for turn around at the lab (10 days) and for you to send them out!  We recommend all holiday card orders be in by November 10th at the latest!

If you are expecting a baby during the fall months, it’s highly recommended you book your newborn session now so that we know how many newborns will be on our schedule during these months and plan for them.  If you do not book in advance, chances are you will not get on the schedule!  Newborn sessions really need to be done within two weeks of birth to ensure those beautiful newborn sleeping, curled up poses!  They’re only newborns once, don’t miss out!  Make sure you book early to ensure you’ll get those beautiful images to cherish forever!

Wanted to share a beautiful new mama I had in the studio recently for her maternity session!  She is expecting her first little one very soon!  When you’re in those last weeks it sometimes feels like time stands still!  Maternity sessions are a lot of fun and help to pass the time while you wait for that little one to make his/her big appearance!  I usually recommend maternity sessions be done between 32-36 weeks while you’re still feeling good and the belly is nice and full!  Here’s a little peek of Mama “S”.
