Where oh where have I been?

Wow. The last month came and went like a topical storm.
There was a closing. A move. A renovation. A big boy bed. A new office. A wedding. No internet. Lots of internet. A bad hard drive. A new computer. Photo sessions. Still renovations. No daycare. A sisterly visitor. A baby shower. Another sister-like visitor. Kids. Lots of Kids. A few friends in need. Boxes, so, so many boxes.
Then THIS:

SCHOOL!

I think I may have been as excited as they were to have uninterrupted work time again. And they are SO excited to go!
I had a hard time holding back tears when I dropped them off- and they didn’t even look back- just ran in and started playing. Little can make a parent feel as good as happy kids.
But now. Back to work!

It’s her portrait-let her cry if she wants to | Baby Portrait Photography

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!
