I had a really great shoot on Saturday with two senior girls from Sudbury.  Last year I shot their friend's senior photo–which was my very first senior session–and because they didn't want the typical seniorshoot the contacted me and the rest is history.  We shot in Sandwich (the oldest town on Cape Cod) at the Giving Tree Gallery & Sculpture Garden.  When we arrived the gardens were closed (ugh!) but the owner lives on the premises and with a few smiles, and yet semi-distressed looks on our faces, she obliged and let us go into the garden.  Crisis averted!  My favorite part of the gardens were definitely the towering bamboo shoots.  The light in there was to die for!  After we finished up here we headed to the 1000 foot boardwalk which is also in Sandwich.  Definitely a must see if you are ever in the area.  It is soooo beautiful!!  Here are some of my favorite shots….

    Tiffany Hix - Love the 5th one! Great backlight!

That's exactly what I said when I emailed this photo to a few of my most discerning critics–um family? 🙂  I had my very first TWINS newborn shoot today.  7 days old and a cumulative 11.4 pounds.  Little Nate is indeed that–only 4 lbs 10 oz and, and his big sister, Ella is 6 lbs 10 oz. They were amazing!  They slept the entire time and let me mold and position them time after time. We only had a few pee-pee accidents, too–on the white sheep skin but that's ok…it's washable.  Here are a few favorites from today.

Hello?!?!  This could be in a magazine!  Anyone?

I wanted to steal them and take 'em home with me…and then I remembered the late night feedings.

    Lisa Townsend - I LOVE it!!! These look great – and yes, they could definately be in a magazine!

    Jen Sawyer - Seriously, you should send those into a magazine. Especially the one where one of the babies is “kissing” the other. That is adorable and the babies are beautiful. Makes me want to have another–almost!

    Eileen Broderick - Are you KIDDING me? These shots are insane!! I love them. And yes–they belong in a magazine. Perfection, Steph. Seriously.

I was on a mission last Friday.  I was checking out the antique shops earlier in the week and saw a few items I was very interested in but decided at that moment to pass them by.  You KNOW you need them when you can't stop thinking about them and start getting anxiety about whether or not somebody else may have scooped your future little lovelies up.  It was about 15 minutes before my 2 year old was due for a nap and even sooner before a melt down could happen but I knew I needed to go back.  When I walked into the Antique Asylum the woman said, "I knew you were on a mission!" as I places this adorable toy sewing machine and tiny little iron down on the counter.

Then it was off to Heirlooms, Etc to get this amazing antique milk can.  The colors, I think, are amazing and will photograph really well.  When I asked my husband what he thought of my new prop he said, "what, that old piece of junk?"….I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I can't wait to set up shoots when these may be appropriate!

    Jennifer Edwards - Stephanie, Just came across your blog which mentions my shop Antique Asylum, thank you! My husband chuckled as I read the part about “that old piece of junk” because it sounds just like him!

    I browsed around and found that your blog is wonderful and your photos are amazing! Keep up the great work!

    Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

My shoot on http://www.vippatiobrisbane.com.au/ was in an old school house from removals eastbourne that was converted into condos.  Gotta love it!  The windows were amazing and gave me plenty of natural light to work with.  Harrison just turned 12 weeks old.  Because he was born 6 weeks premature, I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of just how big (or small) he would be according to his parents he’s growing like a weed and he has filled out like a little champ! Here are my favorite shots from that day.

Angel baby…

He just loved this faux-fur rug I brought…in fact so much that we had to turn him
over so he didn’t continue eating it!
