Pre-book your newborn session during the month of September and receive a complimentary set of 24 announcements!
I have two beautiful young women who volunteered to be my senior reps this year (or, rather, next year). This woman is SO much fun. She hardly stopped laughing the entire session and has SUCH a gorgeous smile. And, really, how can you not love someone who brings a Buddha to her session? Thank you for being just such a delight to photograph; I should have your goodies out to you soon!
After a slew of babies I got to go out and shoot a teenager the other day. No NO. With a camera. Sheesh. And she was GORGEOUS. We’d had to reschedule once because she had a driver’s test that, in classic DMV style, had not happened on time. But, thanks to the reschedule, we got to go out during the gorgeous light of the end of the day.
Senior rep is a good gig. I get 1 or 2 high school seniors to model and they get brag books, 411 cards and discounts on prints as well as referral cash for every session they send me. I have one more rep to shoot this week and then it’s onto full on senior portrait season.
Oh, wait… you want to SEE this beautiful young woman. Oh. Well. I suppose I could manage that…
Let’s face it, there are only so many pictures you can hang on the wall and put in frames on shelves. But there you are, faced with a gallery of 30+ images going “OK, so one for my desk, and one for your desk, and one for my mother and… but I want them ALL!”
One of my favorite ways to have them all is the image box. What, you ask, is an “image box”? Well, it’s a box. Oh, you’d figured that part? It has one of the prints from your session on the front and more prints inside. Kind of like this:
The prints can be mounted on archival matboard so you can display one at a time on an easel.
If you decide on mounted images you are limited as to how many you can have as, well, it is unlikely that all the images from your session would FIT in a box once they were mounted. If you want regular, unmounted prints you get them all because, quite simply, they’ll all fit.
You don’t usually get a concert when you take pictures. But when I shot this young man’s senior pictures last weekend I was treated to a private piano concert that ranged from Liszt to Journey as well as a walk to a lake where we spotted a crayfish type thing in the grass.
I’m sorry your gallery is so big but I just couldn’t settle on only 20. Good luck making your choices!

Meredith is my senior rep, who agreed to let me harass her with the camera repeatedly. Last time she played with the tilt-shift lens. This day we just missed the rain. It was spitting before we started, held off for about 90 minutes, then started to actually come down. And the mosquitoes were awful. Snap the shutter. Slap the bug. Snap the shutter. Slap the bug. One of these days I’ll make her actually go in a dirty pond like my poor bridal model.
She is a pleasure to take pictures of, always game to try anything no matter how absurd. Meanwhile, she’s just lucky she isn’t taller or she’d get sucked into the modeling world with all the attendant insanity.
Next time – 1940’s period clothing and an urban setting!

I am totally booked in July and August. The only exception I will make is for newborns (under 2 weeks) and squeezing those is going to be interesting. If you want a shoot and still want the feel of summer I recommend booking in September now because fall is going to book up fast.
This link will take you right to the session reservation page. Current available dates are listed and you can select your date when you reserve your session.
Back in another lifetime before I had twins I was a middle and high school teacher. I’m still certified, actually. I taught at a little Catholic school in Bristol, CT where I got moved from one grade and subject to another so fast I taught 6th grade English one year, 8th grade the next, and then 9th grade history the year after that. I always taught Latin and then wherever there was a hole I filled in. I always loved “my” 6th graders from that English class though. They were just an incredible group of kids.
They are about to be seniors in high school.
This makes me feel old.
Look out for pictures from one of them later on – she’s a budding photographer, applying to art school for next year, and though she is up in Maine surfing right now we have plans to get together and shoot later in the summer.
Here’s another one. Isn’t she amazing? I think in this first shot she looks like Nimue, about to entice Merlin into falling in mad love with her right before she locks him up in a tree.

I have only three words for this beauty’s mother: All. Girls. School. I mean, can you IMAGINE looking like this as a teenager? And being so poised?
There are no longer any available weekend dates in June. If you would like a portrait session in June contact me about evening sessions, though those are few and far between as well.
Book now to snag dates in July and August!
I can usually fit in a newborn (under 2 weeks of age) but PLEASE reserve the date now if you know you want a newborn shoot so you don’t get closed out.
I will be opening up fall dates for holiday bookings in July.
