“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”

-Jacques Cousteau

When I started my photography business I never imagined being known as a ‘beach photographer’. Somehow that changed about 6  years ago when I started doing more and more after photographing a very lovely senior girl at her local beach. I was completely blown away by its beauty and started returning spring, summer and fall, year after year. I never tire of it because my clients are promised something unique from Mother Nature each and every time. No one evening looks the same. The beach landscape is ever changing as the tides wash in and create pristine, smooth sand as far as you can see to being tousled with rocks and seaweed. Always a surprise, I never know what it will be until I crest the dune and behold what is in store for myself and my clients. We have beared muggy nights, braved the cold, stood strong against tumultous tides, in awe of sunsets that left us never wanting to leave until there was no more light and moon rises that took our breath away.

Yes, it certainly does hold you in it’s wonder….

With that all said, here is a mini session from last September of prescious little Addie Rose and her adoring parents. I was lucky enough to photograph this pretty mama’s maternity session as well as their newborn session. I couldn’t wait to see Addie in person again as we had stayed in touch and I was updated with adorable photos of her throughout the spring. It was a blustery day and the wind seemed to confuse her a bit and the cold air nipped her little toes. Though we didn’t get too many smiles I am still loving these images <3 There are some new beaches that I want to explore more and feel that they would really lend themselves to a gorgeous winter beach session. I’m running a special on sessions that take place thru March 30th. Reach out to find our more info!!

    Stephanie - Please contact me 617-513-2327 Thanks Aneta!

It’s been a while. Five months and four days to be exact.

So how have you been? 😉

It’s been a busy spring, summer and fall which means some things were overlooked, not prioritized and left on the back burner to simmer for too long. In this case, it’s boiled over and the pot is burnt. Whoops.

I remember when blogs were IT. The go to place for you to catch up on your favorite creatives’ newest work–to soak up all the viusal and written goodness. I’m curious to know how many people actually still read blogs. With the rise in popularity of Instagram, decrease in reach of our friends and fans on Facebook, I think most would agree that the community and support over in those little squares makes you feel like you’re being heard. I can spend hours sometimes working on a blog post and wonder if anyone has even read it.

Hello….?

So, I’ll just pick up where I left off last….motherhood sessions. I hold them very close to my heart–especially this one. My sister and her beautiful children. <3 She tirelessly works her business while raising three incredible little humans. I’m so proud of the woman and mother she has become.

I don’t know why but for some reason these movie files were sitting in my client folder on my hard drive for 5 years. I was photographing this adorable baby girl and her mom August 2013 down in Onset, MA and decided to take some video along with stills. When they say “life sometimes just gets in the way” it couldn’t be more true.  That and the fact that unless I have a to-do list written down being on my computer I feel like I have the worst ADD ever! Have you seen that meme that says, “Men, if you want to knowwhat a woman’s mind is like, imagine a browser with 3,241 tabs open.” So true!  Right now there are 16 open on my iMac including this one 😉

Being that I am trying to reach more clients interested in motherhood sessions (did you miss my motherhood minis this month??) I decided to buckle down and create this behind the scenes look at my afternoon with Scout and her pretty mama to show you all what your session can look like. Films are always so moving for me.  I hope this makes you feel <3 and I hope that I can create something this beautiful for you very soon!

Have a fabulous long weekend!

xoxo

    Fokuspoint - Really beautiful!

mother and child portraits boston bridgewater south shore south coast maOver the last eleven years I have had the pleasure of photographing so many incredible families including some magnificent mothers and their babes. During this time my love of capturing the tender bond between mother and child has become a passion. Being a mother I know just how fleeting these years really are with our children. While the days can sometimes feel thankless and exhausting I always remind myself of this adage;

The days are long, but the years are short.

I hold these Motherhood portrait sessions near and dear to my heart. The connections I’ve been honored to witness and capture for my clients have filled me up and at times left me breathless. In honor of Mother’s Day, I will be gifting a Custom Portrait Session to a deserving mom and her children.

Do you know a woman who would love portrait photography that hasn’t had time to think about herself and that would truly treasure the experience? Maybe it’s somebody who has experienced loss, someone who is selfless beyond measure with family and in charitable ways, or simply does not have the means to hire a professional photographer. Maybe she’s a single mom doing it all, a foster mom, a caretaker or somebody who has recently fell ill.

You know someone.

Motherhood, Mommy & Me, Boston Motherhood portraits

 

I want to hear all about this amazing woman! Please email her full story including her name, children’s ages, their location and what makes her so deserving to stephanie@bellinipics.com. Nominations will be accepted until Sunday April 6th. Surprising her with the news of this gift on Mother’s Day would be so fun, therefore if at all possible keep this a SECRET from your nominee.

What’s in it for her? She will receive a custom portrait session of her choice; indoor lifestyle, summer beach/field or a fall foliage session as well as a 10×10 linen album that I will artfully design myself. I will also consult very closely with her on attire as well as having access to my photography wardrobe closet. Combined value for session and album is -1495.

But that’s not all….

I will also be choosing a SECOND deserving mom for a gifted Motherhood Mini session taking place on Saturday May 5th, 2018 in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Winner will be notified by Wednesday May 2nd so they may plan accordingly. Session value -575.

Gifted Session Rules:

-You must nominate someone else.

-You may nominate more than one mother.

-Winner of this session will be chosen by Bellini Portraits.

-Winner grants Bellini Portraits permission to use images in print & social media.

-Custom SessionNominee must live within 40 miles of 02324 and/or willing to drive to our agreed upon location.

-Mini Session Nominee must be available on May 5th in Fairhaven otherwise next person will be chosen.

In the spirit of giving back I humbly ask that you share this with your friends and family to help spread the good word!

All my best!

Stephanie

    source - Awesome things here. I’m very glad to look your post.
    Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to contact you.
    Will you please drop me a e-mail?

What’s the best part of Spring for you?  For me it has to be the lilacs and their incredible fragrance.  They are one of my favorite flowers–peonies being my all time fav! So to celebrate the coming of sprintgime and Mother’s Day coupled with my love of motherhood portraiture I will be offering a very special Mommy & Me mini session event on May 5th.

These motherhood sesssions will be hosted in an adorable waterfront cottage in Fairhaven, Massachuetts.  It is a combination of Anthropologie meets Urban Outfitters.  A little mid-century meets a little boho with a splash of 70’s chic. These mini sessions are for mom and baby/child and will focus closely on your loving bond and connection. 

Sessions will be 20 minutes in length and you have the option to book two back to back for a more custom experience.  As always I am happy to work very closely with you to find the *perfect* wardrobe for you and your little ones.  Kick of you shoes, we are going to get cozy!

I am sooooo excited about these and hope you are too!  This is an incredible gift for yourself. Tell your spouse or significant other that capturing this precious and ever fleeting time with your children is everything you could want this Mother’s Day. I am looking forward to seeing old faces and to meet some new faces, too!
