Philly Pt. 3 | Philadelphia Family Photographer

As I mentioned before, I realized while shooting these sessions that four of the six families had first come to me for newborn photos.  Little miss J. was one of them.  I had not seen her in 15 months when she was about two weeks old and she looked like this:

And look at the beautiful little girl she has become!!!

It was SO great to see her mom and dad and see what a cute little family they have become.  J. was walking all over the place and definitely gave me a run for my money with her moving but we managed to snag her quite a few times and got some beautiful images that I know mom and dad are going to LOVE when they see.

Now normally, I would put the black and white in between the color photos.  I am just picky like that in that I like to evenly alternate and distribute things as much as possible.  BUT the reason I did it this way is for the last photo.  Dad had J. standing there on that rock looking at the ducks while Mom went back to the diaper bag for something.  Before we knew it, J. had kicked off her shoe and sent it floating out into the pond!!  So I couldn’t help but capture the moment as dad laid flat out with the stick to get the shoe 😉  No shoes, ducks, dads or children were harmed in the making of this moment.  It just shows you, always be prepared for anything when doing a photo shoot!

Me!!! | Providence Photographer

Right after my last session on Sunday I met up with my good friend, Bernadette of BU Photography.  I did some family photos for her (coming in a few days) and after that we swapped head shots.  We swapped last year as well which is where my photo above came from.  Since it’s been a year and I am no longer 8 months pregnant as I was in that photo, I decided to go ahead and do some new ones.  Now I HATE photos of myself.  Seriously, I think that is part of the reason I became a photographer – so I would always have the excuse to NOT BE IN THE PICTURE!!  Seriously though, I just do not like photos of myself.  But Bernadette captured two shots of me that I absolutely and completely love, so I decided to share them here.  Soon one of them will appear at the top of the blog and on the website itself.  For now, though, they’re right here.  And yes, mom, I will give you one.  And send one to Grandma.  😉

To be fair and not mislead anyone, I will not show up to your session looking like this!!  Until I get contacts I will be wearing my glasses and have my hair pulled back.  And be wearing a white top of some kind, probably.  But the “real” me looks like this (after some editing to aid in the no-so-perfect look after 7 hours of driving and 6 sessions in 24 hours)  😉

Philly Pt. 2 | Philadelphia Family Photography

After being in the city Saturday morning, I headed out to my favorite location in the world, the Newlin Grist Mill.  It so happens that not one of my clients from this past weekend had ever had a shoot there.  So while it was old hat to me, it was brand new to them.   🙂  First up was the P. family.  They are the P. family of one of my favorite family shots EVER.  I have done A.’s newborn and six month shots and now that he is getting ready to turn a year old, I got to do them again.  It is SO much fun to watch kids grow up!!  In fact, out of the six sessions I had this weekend, I had done newborn shots for four of them!!  A. just continues to get cuter and cuter even though he wasn’t full of his normal huge smiles this time around.  But you’ll see he is still absolutely adorable!!!

Philly Pt. 1 | Philadelphia Family Photography

The first session of my marathon weekend was with the beautiful C. and family in downtown Philadelphia.  I got to do C.’s newborn pictures and saw her last year about this same time for photos.  And now this year.  It has been SO great to see her grow up.  She continues to just be a beautiful little girl 🙂  And the rest of her family ain’t bad either!! Though it was pretty chilly, everyone did great the entire time and by the end C. was totally hamming it up for me!!  I had such a great time seeing you guys again!!  Enjoy 🙂

Published! | Rhode Island Family Photography

So as I mentioned yesterday in my Ten on Thursday post, I had spent some time the other morning with Amy Blau, publisher of The Baby Guide.  TBG is a yearly publication that goes out all over the New England area, targeting Boston, North & South Shore, Cape Cod & Islands and Rhode Island – over 70,000 copies.  I was convinced by a friend to buy advertising space in the magazine and I decided to take the plunge.  Amy graciously worked with me on getting everything ready and lots of friends had their input into the ad design.  I also, at the request of the magazine as they asked all photographers, submitted some photos that would be able to be used for editorial purposes.

To my wonderful surprise and delight, they chose one of my photos (my “famous” twins shot) to use for a large slot in the magazine on their photography article.  And I am also the first ad that appears in the photography section.  I know this probably makes me a big ol dork but I was so tickled that they chose my shot!! (Okay, to be totally fair, they chose one other big shot as well but that wasn’t mine so I don’t care about that one.)  So hopefully tons of families will see the magazine and rush to book me.  😉

I also, yes, took some photos of the magazine.  Keeping in mind that product photography is SO NOT my thing, enjoy the photos below!

I am off to Philadelphia in an hour or so.  Wish me luck that weather and traffic cooperate for me!!!  I’ll see you all back here on Monday with lots and lots and lots to show!
