bittersweet : boston children’s photographer

It’s hard to believe the summer is winding down and my busy fall season is gearing up.  Why does it seem that summer takes forever and a day to arrive and then–POOF–in a blink of an eye it’s just GONE?  It doesn’t seem fair.  To add insult to injury, I feel that all of us New Englanders got a little jipped with all the rain we had.  I swear, almost all of my late spring and summer shoots have had to be rescheduled at least once, some even 3x!!!  Unbelievable!   It’s all a bit, hmm, bittersweet, isn’t it?  The end of something so sweet with the anticipation of something new and different?  These warm summer days will segue into cool breezes, vibrant fall colors, the smell of firewood in the air and cozy sweaters.  So what do you like better, the ease of a summer dress or shorts (can’t forget about you guys out there) or the layered look in the fall and winter?  I’ve always loved how simple it was throwing on a cute summer dress and looking put together and ready to go in an instant.  But, I think I’m starting to like the idea of layering it all up–especially when you top it all off with a great pair of leather boots. Just minus the sweater.  I’ve never been a fan of sweaters.  Nope.  Not even cashmere ones!  Call me crazy…

Speaking of fall, I will be announcing one and possibly two dates for fall mini sessions.  For those apprehensive about doing minis, I can assure you that you CAN get fabulous shots in 20 minutes.  Case in point, Charlie Boy??  17 minutes flat!!  I’ve been photographing this gorgeous boy since he was a newborn.  In the interim his equally beautiful mama and I have become very close friends, like sistahs!  So, on one of our many sleepovers–our boys play and we cook, dance and get silly in the kitchen–we headed over to one of my favorite shooting locations overgrowing with Bittersweet Berries and did a quick session.  So, be on the lookout!  I will be posting dates and info for these Fall Mini Sessions this week!!  Stay tuned!
