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!

Tara and Ty your wedding was exquisite!  Thank you for allowing me to share in your joy!  I’ll be in touch soon with your full edited gallery!  Hope you enjoy these for now!  xo

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!

http://lindahawkinsphotography.com/site/#/contact/  today to book your session or for more information!  We look forward to working with you!

Don’t forget about the 2012 Senior Rep Program now in swing!  Applications closes on 7/23!   Cannot wait to start shooting everyone!   Senior sessions are so much fun!  I shoot them like a modeling session which means you have a ton of really fabulous one of a kind images to pick from!  Don’t forget, even if you’re school requires your yearbook photo is to be taken by the contracted photographer you can still pick your own favorite photographer for your senior photo session for photos for friends/family and keepsakes!

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”.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

One of the most incredible things that I do is to photograph a family as they celebrate life together!  To me these sessions are the most meaningful of all my work.  They are filled with love and laughter and precious moments together that become cherished memories for ever.   To me this is what real photography is about!  It’s not about looking perfect for the camera, it’s about being together!   So many times I hear people say, “I want to have a session with you, but I need to loose some weight first”, or “I need to wait till my hair grows longer”, etc.   The truth of the matter is, none of us know if we’ll be here tomorrow, and there’s always going to be something that we don’t think is perfect about ourselves to hold us up from getting it done.  I’m guilty of this too!  I’ve had many people over the past couple of years come to me asking me to do these sessions that I call “Lifestyle” because a family member is ill and they didn’t get around to getting those pictures earlier and they want to have them now!  Sometimes the family member is ill with cancer or a terminal illness, other times they have a family member who is confused with dementia.  It seems that everyone lets their guard down at a time like this and realizes what exactly a photograph is about!   It’s about being together, at this moment in time!  No one cares if you are 10 pounds overweight, or if your hair is too short/long or you don’t have that perfect outfit!  It’s about family!  These sessions are not sad times, they are usually filled with laughter and light-hearted fun.  There is more than the act of taking the actually photograph….it’s also a memory of a fun time with everyone together!  And trust me, everyone looks fabulous in these photographs, they are cherished memories and no one notices the imperfections that keep us from being in photographs otherwise!   Many of us lose our loved ones suddenly and don’t have a chance to do something like this.  The families that have come to me for a Lifestyle session have been lucky enough to have the chance to do these sessions.  Photography is one of the most cherished possessions we can ever have to help us hold on to those memories!

This Lifestyle session is of my very special photographer friend Tara and her beautiful family.  I’m so honored that they asked me to capture these beautiful, sweet moments of them together!   I just wanted to share a few from their session at my studio.  So hard to keep this to just a few, honestly, there are so many precious ones!

Tara and her mom, they are both so beautiful!

My studio is located in Cortland Place which is an assisted living facility that also has a nursing home and an alzheimer’s and dementia care facility.  You’ll often see me taking photographs of the residents with their families around the facility.  All our moments are meant to be treasured!

Tara and Cheryl thank you for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family!  I’m honored and so glad to have met all of you!  xoxox

It’s time to book those First Communion portrait sessions!  I’m pleased to be able to offer the same incredible special as last year!   The only change to last year’s special is if you are purchasing the special it must take place at the studio at Cortland Place in Smithfield.  I will not be offering this special for on location sessions.  The studio has a beautiful outdoor area which works very well.  Many of last fall’s sessions you see on this blog were shot in the outdoor area at the studio!  If weather is not working in our favor we have the indoor studio and we even have access to a real chapel to shoot in right in the building!  Here is the brochure from last year’s special.  Everything remains the same this year except for location choice!

Contact the studio ASAP to book your session!  As soon as the weather warms up my calendar tends to book up solid very quickly!  You are always welcome to book a regular on location session for your First Communion portraits if you’d like to go to Roger Williams Park or any other location.  The special cannot apply to on-location sessions this year, however.

Contact me at the studio for more information!  Email is always best, but phone calls are welcome also.  If I do not answer I am most likely with a client so please leave a message and I’ll get back to you at the earliest moment!

I had Amber in the studio recently for a  boudoir session.  We went with more of a pin up look because it fit her style and her look.  She’s so fun and bubbly and her look screams 1940′s to me!  Here are a few of the photographs from her session I can share with you!  We had a great time at the shoot!  These sessions are a lot of fun!

Lots going on at the studio these days!  The phone has been ringing off the hook this week!  The small spell of warm weather must be bringing on spring fever!  Love it!  Don’t forget to book early!  Thanks for peeking!

I ended 2010 with this adorable family in my studio on New Year’s Eve!  They are so sweet with their beautiful baby boy!  Baby “D” was so laid back and seemed happiest to be able to stretch out and lay back right on the floor in the studio!   He’s three weeks and already past that curled up newborn phase but still as sweet as pie!   I was so happy to capture these special memories for them!    Here is a preview for Family “M”!
