Why don’t I mind if a baby cries during a portrait? Why would I keep my camera to my eye and keep snapping while parents comfort?
Perhaps because there is something so endearing about a being who can go from absolute Happy to, well, absolute NOT Happy and back again in a matter of seconds.
Or because a photo of a crying child makes me want to pick them up and hug them and make it better.
Or because there is something so purely raw about a baby’s emotion. Something most of us learn to a mask as we get older. It is an innocence I want to document in my own children (and sometimes do)
And it really never takes long to find the range of Happy in a 9 month old.
And the Joy.
And the Love.
I love my job.

Lovely Ladies | East Greenwich Family Portraits
I have been swamped this last week with sessions, weddings, albums and even managed to squeeze in a mini family vacation for the 4th of July. But I have to share a few that I came across from a session I did this last weekend in East Greenwich, RI. These two girls and their family could not have made my job easier.
All of the components of a great session were there… Great kids, loving family, perfect weather, wonderful yard to let them all play a little. How beautiful are these girls?
Even their Grandparents got in on the act.
And the parents had some great suggestions of places by the water we could visit. I will see if I can find some of those photos to share later.
All and all, a perfect session.
Okay, now back to work.
Cheers!

Sitting portraits like a pro | Boston Newborn Portraits
Meet George on his first portrait sitting. 2 weeks old and he already knows how to nap in a chair.
There is something about newborns that makes me giddy on the inside. It must be the scrunchiness, the wrinkles, the ability to sleep in positions unfathomable,
or not…
the way they can stop you in your tracks when they make eye contact
the way they channel their inner old man…
Or how, even when they don’t let thier parents sleep they still make every one around look as happy as this.
Congrats again to George’s proud parents. You guys have done well for yourselves (and George didn’t seem to make out so bad either)

What photography can show
“Photographs emulate the way our mind sees a significant moment.” David Griffin, The photo director for National Geographic.
He talks about how we think and feel in pictures. What the difference between and amateur and pro is. What it takes to make a life of incredible photographs for photojournalists. If you have 15 minutes check out his talk on TED:
