South Shore Family-Child Newborn Photographer: It's snowing again! And I am dreaming of Spring Portrait Sessions

It is snowing here again!  I know it is only the second snowstorm but  I am already ready for spring!  The beautiful weather, the warm sunshine, and of course the fun spring family portrait sessions!  

I have had time to sit down and make a list of all the fun portrait sessions I would love to do.  Creative shoots and just places that would be fun to bring families this year to do their family photo sessions!  

We have had a few temperate days, and Lucy and I have made the most of it by going out and taking some fun creative pictures.  I have some snow ideas too, But I am reminiscing mostly about all the cuties I got to photograph last year!

This portrait of Lucy was taken in the woods on one of our particularly warm days last week!

And we are now back to snow!!! 

But I can't really complain because here are some of the images we were doing last year at this time!

I guess any season in New England is all relative!  Like they say, "If you don't like the weather here, wait five minutes and it will change!"

Stay safe and warm in this winter weather!

South Shore Boston Family, Child, Newborn Photographer: Winter Children's Portrait Session

It is true that with the cold and the snow many people hibernate during the winter.  Portrait Sessions may slow down but I think there is something magical about every season.  Winter here on the South Shore and Boston are can produce some truly magical image opportunities not found in other more temperate climates.  Seeing small children snuggled up in warm clothes or dancing in the falling snow just makes me want to snuggle in and make some hot chocolate!  I was so happy when this family chose a winter session.  There are so many beautiful imagesand this little boy is just a light of life.  You can see it in his little smile!

South Shore Boston MA Child Fine Art Photographer-Children of 2015

Here are some of my favorite children from 2015.  I am so inspired by all the amazing children I have met this past year!  From Mattapoisett, Plymouth, Duxbury, Cape Cod, Kingston, Marshfield and the list goes on!  I hope you enjoy some of these as much as I do!

Mommy and Me: A Self Portrait (with my baby!)

I love being a photographer but I hate having my picture taken. Like many women I only see my imperfections when I look at pictures rather than the beauty that my daughter sees. Tonight I heeded my own words, "You children don't care what size you are or what imperfections you may perceive. They see that you are beautiful just the way you are! Don't wait to get in front of the camera. These are the moments they will cherish forever!"

Dreaming of Flight...

One of the things I promised myself this year was that I would pick up some strictly creative projects just for myself to keep the creative juices flowing and have some fun! I came up with the idea of building a pair of wings a la Leonardo Davinci and having someone perched to fly.  As I was building the wings the perfect quote presented itself and that was enough of a sign for me:

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

Here are the fruits of my labor! Enjoy!

Loving the beach babies!

This is such a great time of year!  We get to enjoy the sun and the beach!  Especially after this last winter!  Oh my goodness! We will savor every day of this now!  One of my favorite things is photographing kids being kids and what better place to capture those moments than on the beach!  A carefree place where families can relax and unwind and kids can be themselves. Love these beach babies!

Family Beach Photos: Fun in the Sun

It is finally starting to get warm out and I am super excited to be out on the beach again.  As a family, we often make dinner and bring it down to the beach in the summer.  Lucy can run around and we can relax and enjoy the evening.  As an extra bonus I love being on the beach taking pictures (and playing with other people's children). Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big kid and I love playing and having fun with the kids.  I also think that is where the best and most memorable images come from.  These two adorable Kiddies were a dream to spend time with and we were able to capture some amazing images from this shoot.  Here are some more of my images!

It's that time of year again! Beach Portraits

I am in love with the beach!  I spend lots of time there with my three year old over the summer and even more time on beach portrait sessions!  It is so neat to live in a place in the country where we have so many picturesque locations and beautiful natural settings. What I actually love most about this shoot is that I have been able to work with this family every year since their daughter was born.  I love seeing them and watching her grown.  Now with another one on the way I can't wait to see what next year brings!

The Princess and The Pea: Fine Art Children's Photographer

So this photo shoot appeals to me on so many levels. One, I love staging fairy tale or ethereal photo shoots. Two, I love working with children.  Three, I love being with my child. One of my creative projects for the year is to recreate some of the real Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Lucy and I totally got into the Princess and the pea idea!  To see some of my other children's photos view my gallery.

Spring has sprung!

I had a blast this weekend! Working with kids is my favorite thing to do and this little girl made my day!  She is such a little character and so sweet.  When I suggested that we have fun and start playing she jumped right in and had a blast.  Just take a look!  If you want to see more of my work with kids view my Children's Gallery!

Little Red Riding Hood! A Creative Shoot

After coming home from doing the Rapunzel Photo shoot, Lucy said to me, "Mommy, I want to do that!".  Well she didn't have enough hair for Rapunzel, LOL but she makes a stunning Red Riding Hood!  See some more of my children's photos!  

Winter Portraits with their besties

This winter has been cold and brutal with the snow!  This two dolls added some light and warmth to a cold day.  I am so glad they came to brave the chill with me.  Want to see more cutie pies, look at this gallery!

When life gives you snow...make snowmen!!!

We have been hit hard here in the Northeast.  No one is venturing out for much.  It has been one storm after another and more snow expected on Tuesday!  For sure we will make it to the snowiest winter on record for Boston.  There is so much time left in winter, how could we not. But we are New Englanders, we need to teach our kids to be tough when it comes to snow!  So we had a blast today playing in the snow and then brought some more inside to  play kitchen with snow and food coloring.  Then the ultimate was our snow volcano!

Here are some pictures of the fun!  Check out some more of my artistic children portraits!

Children's Portraits during the New England snowpocalypse!

For many of us, it seems like life has been put on hold.  There is so much snow, no one wants to leave the house, and at the same time we all have cabin fever! So in the middle of the latest snowstorm, Lucy and I went out to play in the snow!  Snow Kitchen and building snow castles was just what the doctor ordered.  Of course the shoveling at nap time was not!

Keeping things real in the winter_ Creative Portraits of Children

Well, winter in New England can certainly be dismal sometimes.  We have gotten so much snow with much more forecasted on the way!  It is like we live in Antarctica!  Before all the snow came, I set out to do a creative project and have gathered up a small group of great kids to model as something to have fun with.  I wanted to do a segment on Grimm's fairy tales, the real ones!  Something a little darker but still playful and fun.  Here are the fruits of my labors. Also Abby's  I might add since it was 20 degrees outside and she wore this cute little dress.  You can see more of my creative children's photos in the Childrens Gallery!

Holiday Portrait Session: Fine Art Family Photographer The Mirrored Image Photography

I absolutely loved working with this family on their family portraits.  I had donated a family portrait session to one of our local charities.  The mother of these families bought the session and asked me if I could squeeze in a session before Christmas.  Of course, I was happy to oblige.  It was so cold this day and the children were absolute troops.  All in all, I was happy that we were able to capture such stunning images for them to bring back to their mom.  

Holiday Mini Session: Professional Photographer Plymouth South Shore

So it is that time of year again to get all dolled up in your Sunday best and take a few photos for the christmas cards.  We had another round of mini-sessions this past weekend.  I was so happy with the results that I can't wait to share!
