photographing pre-schools

I love preschoolers, they are so funny. Sometimes they tell you silly stories, sometimes they tell you things you know they shouldn't, always they brighten your day!

Last week I photographed one of my preschools and was delighted by this young lad's game of peek-a-boo!

Schedule your child's portrait today!

Summer's on it's way...

Do you realize that some of us who live on Cape Cod do go clamming year round? We eat fresh oysters all winter (yum!)... Wednesday, that comes to an end, oyster season is over until next winter... a sad day... lucky Ray went today for me! This must mean summer is almost here...

Which means it's time to book your summer portrait on one of the gorgeous beaches on the Cape... can't wait to see you!

Give me a shout for more info...

Happy wearin' o' the green...

Corned beef & cabbage is one of the few reasons I'm not vegetarian, it is one of my favorite meals!!! The image is Colum Cille, this fantastic pipe band made up of teachers, students, police officers, etc. They are the best around for sure, go see them any chance you get!

Enjoy the day! May there be a little bag pipe music in it for you!!!

(isn't it time to have your portrait created with your bagpipes?)

A Christening Portrait - Cape Cod

Elsa is this amazingly beautiful baby, she has these gorgeous eyes, and is just cherubic. I loved photographing her! I was so excited for this session, in part because her mom was excited for it, and that makes my job even more fun. I haven't done very many christening portraits, most babies I know, or have photographed, get christened in every day wear. When Adriana got christened I made her gown and my mum made the matching cap, the cap was perfect, the gown, well lucky it was long and on a moving, squirming, baby!! No one could look that closely at it!

Elsa's gown was beautiful, perfect for her, and her calm, serious self was exactly what I would have chosen for the portrait. Love these.

And then, what? a blue tutu that matches my funky background, could I possibly be any happier?

My facebook post had one of the tutu images, & said something like, I so totally have the best job in the whole world!




Isn't it time to have your baby photographed?

Good morning sunshine...

I was on the phone yesterday morning at the studio when I walked out to the front, & I was greeted by 'HI' in the sunshine... What a delight! So instead of 'Good morning, starshine, the earth says hello' it was 'good morning sunshine, the earth says... hi'!!!

With full disclosure, I didn't retouch any of the sunlight anywhere, but I did do a little virtual vacuuming!!!

Photographing boys...

Photographing boys is a way different energy than photographing girls, it's fun and a little crazy... All studio portraits have a completely different dynamic than my Cape Cod beach portraits, but I love them both. And obviously, wouldn't want to be out on the beach yet, I'm ready, but not crazy!

Owen & Eamon are so sweet, they both brought something from home which of course, will probably be taken out of any final images, but I have to admit, I totally dig Buzz and think the cars are really sweet too! I have the orange one sitting on my desk which was accidentally left behind, and will of course, be returned, but everyday it makes me smile thinking of how adorable those two boys are... and what a fun session it was...

Isn't it time for your family portrait?

365 Art-full days...

So my lovely sister, Marla and I are taking a journey... 365 days of creating... For me that may include photography as well as all of the other forms of creating I love so much, & will probably be a little heavy on the fibre arts, because I'm fairly addicted to those! Today was our first day, I posted the blog site under my blog list, feel free to go take a peek, and please, please comment. Give us love and encouragement as we start this journey together, pretty sure we're going to need it!
