I had the privilege of photographing Abby and her family again in Hingham. The last time we met, it was just Abby and her mom Alyssa, with Charlotte on the way. How nice to meet the whole family this time! If only we could all be as happy as Abby seems to always be. She's such a ray of sunshine (and I'm not just saying that because she's a fellow-redhead)!
Last weekend, I hosted what I hope will be an annual event - Fall Session Day! While our initial plan was to have the event (a day filled with half-hour photo sessions) take place at Endicott Park, a Boy Scout event was going to happen on that same day at Endicott. Not wanting to take on the challenge of working around hundreds little uniformed boys, I switched the location to Lynch Park in Beverly. Although it was chilly, it was a great day. It was so nice to see families that I have worked with in the past and meet some new people too! Everyone did such a great job during their sessions. We had toddlers and teens and itty-bitty babies too, and all our sessions still went smoothly, even with that distracting, tempting playground luring some away from the camera!
I'm so very grateful for my wonderful clients. I really do enjoy working with all of you! Thanks for making it such a fun and I felt, successful day!
It's always a great thing when clients come back for more. I was so flattered to hear that Sandi enjoyed her family's session and the photos that resulted last year so much that she wanted to book another session this year. Hooray! This time we decided to check out Lynch Park in Beverly. We couldn't have asked for a better scenario; the temperature outside was just right and the light was perfect!
I love to see from year to year how the kids have grown, too. And have I mentioned how grateful I am to have so many awesome clients?
I was thrilled to get a call from Sarah this year to photograph her and her family again. Such fun people! The children, Alex and Hannah, sent me home with a bag full of goodies - cookies and drawings and even a handmade dreidel magnet!Hannah came to me at the end of the session and asked that I read her a book about wheels. We got comfy on the nearest plushy chair and I read to her about wheels on cars and bikes and more. On one page was a bike race and there were spectators. Three of the spectators stood with cameras and one had it hanging down from his neck. I told Hannah, "Here's a photographer who will never get work because he's not taking any pictures and the action is just flying by him!"
Her parents laughed.
Today I had a nice little photo shoot with the kids of a close friend of mine. We grew-up together and it's been fun watching her be a mom. A very good one at that! I photographed Ava last year, and this year, she was joined by her twin sisters, Sam and Addison, now five months old. They were troopers and Ava is always good for some comic relief (not that it was needed) with her hilarious facial expressions!
Ava sang an Usher song while jumping around on her mom's bed.
