Jade's Cuties

When I arrived at Jade's house, I introduced myself to her daughter, Sierra, and asked her to show me her room. I often do this to help kids feel more comfortable about me being in their home; by showing interest in all their cool stuff and engaging them in conversation. It helps me too, to get to know them a little bit. She proudly showed me all her pink and purple things. Including a clock which let her know when it was ready to wake-up, ready to get out of "time out" and so on. (A lot of us could use one of those "time out" clocks, I think.) With little wings on and a skirt of tulle, I knew she would be up for some fairy-like jumping on the bed. So, with Mom's permission, jumping ensued...as did the rest of our session with her, her parents, and little brother, Brayden.

Aayan is 2 and...

there's a brother on the way! I am always happy to hear from Rumana. I have been photographing her and her family since Aayan was 6 months old.  I photographed him again at one year old.  This time, with another on the way, she asked for a few maternity shots as well as a session for Aayan's second birthday.

When I arrived, her husband Safraz took little Aayan upstairs for wardrobe prep while we shot a few photos in some lovely window light in her home. Before long, we heard the beep beep beeping of a car locking and unlocking. There was a pause. A moment of silence while Rumana thought and listened. Then he called upstairs, "Safraz!  He has your keys!"

I have my favorite pictures of them, too.

Finley

Last weekend I had the opportunity to meet sweet Finley!  Like many clients recently, he too is brand spakin' new. I am close with his family. I used to babysit for his dad (good god, I'm old), and a year and a half ago, I photographed his wedding.

Fin was very relaxed (read: asleep) for the first part of our session, but then he stirred and was bright eyed for the remainder of it.

January and February

Here are some images I shot which ran in various BU publications and websites in the months of January and February.  

Noah is Three!

This is what happens over time. They get bigger. It's just fact. Today's photo shoot with Noah took place in my home which is currently in renovation mode. With the clean painted walls and good window light, I thought it would be a nice change. I think it was pretty successful and Noah did a great job despite all the interesting distractions ("What's that?" he'd ask, pointing at paint brushes and paint cans and...saws.)

October

Yes this is, in fact, from LAST YEAR!  But, better late than never, I suppose. Here are some images that were published for BU in the month of October 2011.  

November

November at BU was busy. Not that any months are not busy! But, here's a selection!
