for photogs

Starting March 5th through April 1st I will be a “Celebrity Photographer” over on the Chic Critique forum.  Feeling like you are in a creative rut?  Looking to improve your technical abilities?  Ready for some real, honest to goodness critique of your work?  Head on over to sign up for your 4 week critique with ME.  Space is limited!

For fun, I’ve posted some images below that I shot 4 years ago (2/9/08) with some editing.  Coming originally from a film background, during the 1st year and early 2nd year in business I didn’t really use Photoshop to process my digital images (gasp) and presented many SOOC (double gasp),  some with only slight levels adjustments.   What you shot with film is what you got.  Well, since then I have spent hundreds of hours on forums, thousands on workshops and continue to educate myself–daily.  What better way to improve your images than from somebody you trust?  I wish I had the plethora of resources 5 years ago that are readily available for all of you new, aspiring photographers.  Take advantage and join me in March.  Hope to see you there! (Chic Critique is down until later today for renovations)

Here is a SOOC (straigh out of camera) image of one posted above.

This sounds like a great opportunity. Do you know what this will cost? It would be tough to get this kind of critique but so worth it :)

A new venture; video fusion!

Such a precious little guy! The video and the photographs have so much emotion to them!! What a lucky mom to have this keepsake :)

So sweet. Love the part in the middle where he is opening his eyes. A wonderful keepsake for a mother.

ackkk so so so in love with this!! i love the mix of video and pictures. he is so sweet and you’ve captured him so wonderfully!

irish eyes are smiling

This little Irish beauty has perfected what Tyra coined the “smyse” (smiling with your eyes).  I’m embarrassed to even say that but it’s amazing how you can change your expression with just a little emphasis on your eyes.  They are the window to your soul so open up and let it shine!  I really love playful sessions like this!  Yes, I told mom to let her stay in her PJ’s while we played a bit to start off the shoot.  I love having kids get really silly and most of all letting them feel at ease and comfortable from the get-go.  I’ve been working with this family since her 1st birthday and now with 4 shoots under her pink sequined belt she celebrated the big F-O-U-R in November.  Looking forward to #5!  Enjoy! xoxo

so fun! those are the kind of pictures I like on my walls! Beautiful.

bella times two…

…and soon to be three!  Those of you who follow my blog will recognize these two beauties!  Nina, 18 months, I lovingly referred to as “Bella Nina” for her newborn blog post and the name has stuck ever since.  This is the fourth time they have graced my blog and soon to be five when mama delivers baby #2 any day now!  I am soooo excited to meet Nina’s baby brother or sister!  If she is anything like her momma and sis she will be stunning or HE will undoubtedly be as dashing as dad!  Yes, goddesses do walk among us mere mortals.  Proof is in these images below.  Yet another uber-fabulous expecting mama!  Lucky me;-)  Enjoy!

these crack me up….Nina showing mama her “owl” face!

and a couple of Nina outside in Boston Public Garden!

These are breath taking! Love them all!

baby blair and big bro

I’ve said it a kazillion times before but I truly love my job!  I love seeing my little clients sprout and their families grow.  I photographed this handsome boy when he was 8 days old, two and a half years ago and again 14 months later.  I was so thrilled when mom emailed to say she was pregnant and due with a baby girl this past fall.  Yeah!  More hats and headbands to play with!!  But I had some fun with big brother while little sis took a break to eat and get changed.  I could not get over how into guitar he was, and how accurate his still-baby hands can manipulate those strings.  Check it out!  Enjoy! xoxo

and on to baby….she was ALL smiles from the minute I started snapping away!

and their gorgeous momma!

and big bro at 8 days old, shot August 2009, another smiley baby!
