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!
Maternity Session: Plymouth South Shore Professional Photographer
This has been one whirlwind weekend; Beach Mini Sessions on Saturday, Maternity Session on Sunday, and in between on Friday, Saturday and Sunday I was taking photos around town for Destination Plymouth. Today is time for one deep breath and then tomorrow is family photos in the morning and another night of Cameras and Cocktails in the evening! Whew!!! My maternity photos were a highlight. It was for a wonderful family that I have done sessions for multiple times in the last couple years. I love so much seeing them and working with them. Also seeing little miss "S" growing into such a beautiful little girl!
This was one of my favorite photos from the weekend!
TBT: Me and my sister: Professional Photographer Plymouth South Shore
So clearly this is not a picture I took but I just love having fun Throwback Thursday Posts! My sister and I are twins. We are very close which is not true of all twins or all siblings unfortunately. When she gets pinched I don't feel it. I can't read her mind. Often though we are on the same wavelength. You can call it a twin thing or just chalk it up to being raised in the same family. I am very proud of my sister and all that she has accomplished. You probably so my previous post about her business, Archiplicity. She has been designing residential and commercial buildings for 18 years. She also rock climbs and scuba dives. She works hard to make sure that her friends are taken care of and gives a lot of herself away to make sure that others are happy. Today I celebrate my twin! I also would love to give a shout out to my friend Ed Nute who took this picture of Jenny and I when we were little. I won't call any of us out by saying how long ago this was!
TBT: Love my cousins: Professional Photographer South Shore Plymouth
I love sorting through and finding old photos of me and my family. I also love restoring them for other people. This is a great picture of me, my sister, and my cousins Adam and Jennie. It reminds me of the fun time we used to have spending part of the summer in PA with them. Unfortunately age has not been kind to the corners of this photo but lucky for me I know how to fix that! I hope you are enjoying throwback thursday as much as I am!
Photo Tip of the week: Capturing kids pictures: Professional Photographer Plymouth South Shore
One of the hardest things to do is to take a great picture of your kids. I have a few tips to make that easier: 1. Pick their best time of day for pictures whether you or hiring someone or taking them yourself. I find that for most kids that is morning.
2. Make sure your kids are well fed. Also bring snacks, drinks, and treats to make things easier.
3. Play and interact while you are taking their pictures, it brings out the bright side of their personality.
4. If they are having a tough time, give them some time to reset. Whether I am taking pictures for other people or myself I find that this comes in handy to change the mood. I am more worried about getting the right shot than about the time on the clock.
Happy Shooting!

The season is now in high gear and I am having so much fun. I have been having so much fun meeting new people and reconnecting with people I have photographed before.

Professional Photographer Plymouth South Shore: TBT: My Dad #ThrowbackThursday
So anyone who knows me knows that I have a very tight family. My father is one of the closest people to me. I could always count on him to be there for me to help in any way and he was always present. One of my favorite memories growing up was sitting with my father at night and having him read to us. Not only did that help to instill a love of reading that is strong to this day but it also gave me something special to remember when he spent much of his time commuting to and from Boston each day. Tomorrow my father will be retiring and moving on to another chapter in his life. It's amazing how quickly time passes. So today I want to wish my father well and celebrate the man that he is and how lucky I am to have him for my Dad!
Plymouth South Shore Professional Photographer: Family Photos and Party all Rolled into one
So here is another great idea that people don't always think of. How about inviting a photographer to a couple hours of your next family gathering and having some professional family photos done? I have booked some events like these in the near future and more coming. It is becoming a more popular idea. For a little more than what you would pay to get your own family photos done you have captured a moment to remember and you have your family on film as well. Here are some of my favorites from the most recent event.

Plymouth South Shore Professional Photographer: Christmas Cards
