Stay Tuned....

I've been a little behind on updating my blog... between having holiday shoots to do/edit and my own family's festivities, I've been a bit busy to say the least!!! Expect updates from the holidays and such in the next day or so as well as some awesome deals for 2010! Just because the holiday season is over doesn't mean the deals are ending!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and here's to a wonderful New Year!!

Auntie's boy...

I'm a sucker for little kids that love their Aunty ;) Orrin and his Aunt came to me for pictures of him and the two of them. What a great way to seal a VERY important bond. I had lots of fun with this adorable little guitar hero! He was very easy to get along with and I hope to see him again soon!

I know they're mine but...

When I got a good chunk of my holiday props, I coerced the kiddos to be the first guinea pigs of the season. I was pleasantly surprised with the results, though they're not quite what I'm looking for for my own holiday cards yet ;)

Happy Holidays!

Come on in and test out all my new Holiday props!! I am flexible and may be willing to fit photos in with your wacky schedule! Ask me about my personalized Holiday card making services too!

Jillian, I want to thank you so much for our family photos. I am so thrilled with the results from our sessions! I have taken my 1 year old daughter, Alexis to many different photo studios and never left with a photo where she was smiling. Not only did you capture pictures of Alexis smiling, but in one specific photo she was turned toward the camera and her face was just aglow. It is by far the best picture I have ever seen of my daughter. I am just so pleased at all of the great photos you captured of our family. We have many options in printing photos as there were so many nice shots of the kids together, separately and the 4 of us all together.

The thing that separated you from other photographers we have worked with is your approach to photography. You were very approachable and made all of us very comfortable. I was just so shocked that on several occasions my normally shy and timid 1 year old was seen walking over to you without coaching to see what you were doing.

I am so happy that we hired you to capture the precious moments of Alexis' first birthday party. There were several moments that you captured that I missed during the party. It was amazing to be able to see the special moment that my husband Peter and Alexis had while he was washing the leftover cake off her hands. It was so nice to enjoy the party and spend time with Alexis and our family knowing that you were there to capture these once in a lifetime pictures. You only get one "shot" to take pictures of your child eating cake and ice cream for the first time in their lives. You well documented with many photos that Alexis did not smear the cake all over herself as we expected, but rather enjoyed every bite of cake.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends as a photographer. I get so many comments on the photos you took. I am so excited to send out our family Christmas cards this year featuring some of the photos you took. I look forward to working with you again in the future to capture the priceless moments of my children as they grow.

Thanks again, Natasha

A Family Photo Session

I was lucky to be able spend a small portion of my weekend with a beautiful family of four. On Saturday, I had the opportunity to photograph little Miss Alexis' first birthday party so that her parents could concentrate on enjoying the very special day. Those pictures will be coming next!
On Sunday I was back to take family photos. I had a great time and got so many beautiful pictures, the ones that I have posted are just a VERY few of my favorites.
Thank you so much Peter, Natasha, Max and Alexis for being such troopers on a very cold morning!

Enjoy!

Fallin' for Fall.....

It's the most gorgeous time of year around here... and there's nothing I love more than taking photographs of the beautiful trees. AND of course, my kids on our yearly apple picking adventure to Rocky Ridge Orchard in Bowdoin. While the apples were a little sparse due to some heavy winds the night before, we had fun all the same.

Enjoy!!
