Senior Session

My oldest daughter--who will be a college senior in the fall!-- wanted a photo shoot (this doesn't happen very often!) We contemplating bring then little girls along but then I knew the youngest would fall asleep in the car and wreak havoc on bedtime....So, we left them at home and chased the golden light around County Park.

I'm now booking senior sessions through the fall. Summer dates are filling up--use the tab above to send me an email to book your session. 

Sixty minute sessions with up to three outfits --includes 30 images on CD or a print package just $250

Massachusetts Equestrians, part 2

I finished up my session in Massachusetts with Leah and her horse Iron Falcon for their senior session at their boarding barn in Middleboro. We had a gorgeous spring morning and the woods surrounding the farm were the perfect backdrop...add the knock-out black long dress Leah wore and I totally got the Lothlorien look I was going for!

Contact me to schedule your senior session with your horse or pony...I am also available for group sessions at your barn

on the road and on location in Massachusetts

Memorial Day weekend saw me on the road to Massachusetts for some special sessions. I grew up in Scituate, MA, in a lovely seaside town with a harbor and a lighthouse that was just right down the street from my house. I had a wonderful time meeting several old friends from high school and meeting their daughters...having a gorgeous photo session in the golden afternoon light... as well as meeting some new friends at Balmy Acres Stable in Middleboro for an all-day session with families, adults, kids, horses, dogs, a bull and even a pet turkey! We were all brought together again through Facebook in a cool way...

What I most remember about Ellen back in high school was that she was always laughing! And that hadn't changed one bit

 And..we have another thing in common as she has also adopted two girls from China!

Tess and Claire are a "virtual twins" at age 7...but adopted some 4 years apart.

Carly and I hiked way out to the end of the jetty for these shots....I couldn't remember actually doing this 30 years ago let alone climbing over the rocks wearing Birkenstocks and carrying a large camera bag! The photos were totally worth it...

I love this candid moment between Carly and her mom, Beth

I had such a blast shooting at Balmy Acres Stable on Saturday...what a beautiful farm! Gorgeous deep green ferns in the forest and tall meadow grass with wildflowers...made for amazing settings for the horses (and dogs, and turkey!)

 This is Angela, the owner, and her family...with their pet turkey who just had to get into the shot!

 Karen and her family, with Spyder, the horse who could even bow on command

 One of my favorite shots of the day..Miss Grey...

Maria has two horses as well as these three dogs!

 Alyson and her blue-eyed mare Cameo

Rita and Zip...you can just feel the bond between them here, can't you?

 Sheila and Reba

and mighty dog, Max. I love this photo--he is definitely smiling for the camera!

Contact me for details on booking a day event at your barn, beach or other location--I am available to travel to many destinations!

modeling hats

A Facebook friend of mine makes some adorable hats and was in need of some photos to showcase her work...I rounded up a few kids (mine) and a baby for these shots. (My new backdrops arrived just in time too!) Anything you can think up in a hat, Kim can make.

Normally prefer shooting outdoors but occasionally one needs an indoor option!

Check out the Facebook page for Kimmy's Kreations....soon she'll have her Etsy store up and running too!

Fashion Shoot #2

I was contacted by two boutiques for the girls to model outfits in the same weekend...and it was right before I was leaving on vacation. Unfortunately the weather was freezing, so we did an indoor session.

Take a look at the cute fashions from Art and Soul Boutique! All three girls modeled for this boutique.

Isn't this an adorable dress?

And this peasant top and capri set coordinates with the dress. Olivia wants to wear this to school soon

and my oldest daughter got to model a skirt and top set....think I will borrow this for myself!

As many of you know, I had a boutique myself for seven years, so I appreciate cute and well made-in-the-USA clothing for kids

Take a look at the website for Art and Soul Boutique for other fun and cute fashions!

Lots of Mother's Day Sessions!

I've been crazy busy with the Mother's Day sessions for Lancaster Newspapers. Since this is my first year participating, I had a goal of six sessions. By the deadline, I will have 26! I want to thank all of you again for choosing me as your photographer.

Here's a look at last weekend's sessions:

Jayden was a real trooper with the cold day--you'd never know it was 38 and windy!

This family opted for indoors at the Lancaster Convention Center--I loved this bench!

 Even though this was a Mother's Day session, I couldn't resist a photo of Holly and Hunter

 Sunday we were back in the cold at Greenfield Park...here's Mr Mason and his mom...

And another little guy named Jayden

Coming up this weekend: covered bridges and the Harrisburg Habitat Art Auction--my photo of the Star Barn will be auctioned.

my daughter's birthday

My daughter turned seven this week!

And she had a family party and a friends party....here are a few candid shots from her parties...

She was thrilled to get an American Girl doll that looked like her!

So her friends party was an American Girl tea party. Formal attire required!

Three friends came over with their dolls for our party

Demonstrating the proper way to drink tea--pinky up!

 Adorable cupcakes from our local grocery store/bakery Oregon Dairy

even the dolls had cupcakes!
