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.)
Garrison
This is eight-day-old Garrison. He is a cute, sweet little peanut, for sure. Another newborn? I know, right? There must have been something in the water nine months ago because new tiny humans are everywhere!
Mack
This is Mack. He's a month old. His sister is Adilynn and she is 16 months old. They are fun. And cute. Behold!
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!
Hugh, Tom, Tia and Matthew!
Hugh got in touch with me for some photos of his family...and their very large Mountain dogs. Hugh knows of me through my brother who is an employee of Hugh's, but also, Hugh won a photo session of mine at the Blossoms At The Beebe a few years ago. He kindly gave it to his sister. A few photos (man, did I ever edit tightly!?) can be seen HERE I arrived at their home and was immediately greeted my their massive and very sweet puppies. The children, Matthew, 4, and Tia, 7, were great kids, and energetic and wonderful photo subjects! I learned quickly that the best way to get a genuine smile out of Matthew was by threatening him, "Whatever you do, Matthew, donnnnnnn't laugh!"
This was followed by his peels of laughter.
Since they live in my town, I asked Tia where she went to school. "Walton" she said. That's where I went! I told her. And she replied "Did you have Miss (So-and-So)?"
This was followed my my peels of laughter.
Jacob
Jacob, 4, greeted me at the door. I like to chat it up with the little ones to help them feel more comfortable about the fact that a complete stranger is in their home with a bag full of heavy gear which they will momentarily be sticking in their face. I also like to roam the house a bit to get ideas on places to shoot. I did this by asking Jacob if he would be so kind as to give me a tour. He obliged happily, wandering through his home, pointing this way and that, presenting the various spaces and the items within it "This is the livingroon. That's a vase. There's my lunch. Here's the laundry room! And this is the kitchen again." What can I say, I'm really excited about the outcome of this session. We took a solid hour to get the collection (which I had trouble editing down to a manageable amount last night). Jacob, Sadie, 9 weeks, Rachal and Andy were photogenic and had great light in and around their home. The made my job easy!
Cailin and her Clan
When one-year-old Cailin's grandmom Vicki got in touch for a session, I thought it would be a fun challenge to photograph the whole extended family during their Thanksgiving weekend visit. The session went well; the light was cooperative, little Cailin was in good spirits, and even the puppy was a good poser! A big group session like this one is great because you can get extended family shots, plus little nuclear family shots done all in one go!
Cold Session!
I was happy when Kathryn got in touch for a session with me. She wanted to try for something outdoors, so we headed down to the local park for our session. It was a cold morning, and the kids were real troopers!
Henry
It's been a very busy couple of weeks for Cydney Scott Photography and I've enjoyed every shoot. Including the one I had with Henry and his parents. They were aiming for some shots for their holiday cards that included their new home a bit.
Jenny & Patrick
This little slideshow has been a long time coming! I re-met Jenny, who I went to high school with, as a result of some community volunteering we both did. I was so excited to bump back into her and have been so grateful to have her as a new(ish) friend! I was truly honored when she asked me to document her big day.
Spiritually Charged Art That Heals
I recently shot this for BU Today, Boston University's online news website.
Heather and Jeff
I met Heather and Jeff on the Boston Common. I mean, I didn't literally meet them there...we planned it. Oh, you know what I mean! We wandered the common for a bit and when rain led us under a bridge (and a bunch of other people too, making it impossible to keep shooting) we chatted about this and that. Heather is a (saint!) second grade teacher. Jeff is a doctor. What kind of doctor?
A surgeon!
What kind of surgeon?
An orthopedic surgeon.
Oh? Where?
At Mass General.
Oh, yeah?
Yup!
Do you know Dr. Smith?
Yes, I work with him!
Oh, cause he put this in me! (here's the part where I over-share and pull out my keychain which has on it a small strip of metal which Dr. Smith put in years ago and then took out nine months later).
Fortunately, Jeff doesn't seem phased about this, or my game of "Can You Guess Where It Came Out Of?". He thinks for a while, but because of it's odd bend at the end, he is stumped and I win the game "My collarbone!" I spill the answer.
He is appropriately impressed as is Heather.
The rain stops and so does my talking about myself and my ridiculous injury and we get back to taking pictures of this beautiful couple. And I do mean beautiful. I have the pics to prove it...
Cody
Cody takes on the Burlington Common (who knew they had one? That shopping mall gets all the fame!) with his very cool hat!
