Sandra Turns One

Here's happy little Sandra for her final of her first year sessions.

For her first birthday session we started off with her party dress.

 And moved on to the ballerina tutu with her birthday background

 Then changed it up, putting on her birthday hat and adding some balloons

 Finally bringing in the birthday cake. Here she is when she was finished with her cake.

Happy Birthday Sandra!

Baby Shower

You may recognise Barbara from her maternity session that I shot a few weeks back. Her photography service package included her maternity session, baby shower photo coverage 3 maternity prints that were used for display at the shower, and a photo book with photos from the shower and the maternity session.

Her sister worked endlessly to put together this event, paying attention to each and every detail. There were lots of children, who were having a great time with the balloons and the music.

David's First Birthday

As usual, there was a cake session incorporated at the end of David's First Birthday Session, which is always fun to watch and photograph.

He is such a happy boy!

David loves my camera, so I let him hold onto one while I took his photos with the other.
Though he's starting to take his first steps he isn't quite ready to fly solo. Happy Birthday David!

Wedding and Bride & Groom on the beach

Saturday morning took me to Worcester for the union of Deb & Steve. We started off in Elm Park at the bridge for some formals of the wedding party.

and a few Bridal Portraits

before heading over to the church for the ceremony.
After the ceremony we took a few more outdoor photos
then headed to the church function room.

The bride & groom's first dance.

The kids. I really must start bringing someone along to video my photo events an sessions.

How do you get 6 kids ages 2 - 7 to look and smile? Balance something on your head and tell them to make sure it doesn't fall off. :) you have no idea the lengths I'll go to and the silly things I'll do to get a smile.

Mmmmm!

I then headed up to Old Orchard Beach Maine where Steve & Deb first met to take some photos on the beach. Here they are amidst the flowering sand dunes.
The beach shots came out great! They had lots of fun with these.

Steve decided that they were done, so off they went.

Newborns - One Year Old - and a Yorkie

My weekend began with a newborn session for Samuel. 3 week old Samuel is a pretty big.

Here he is with his mom, dad, and big sister Natalia.

Here's my favorite. Angel Baby

Daddy's little Red Soxer
Natalia loved the little doggie that I brought along for the session

From there it was off to see one year old Tavi for his First Birthday Session.

Tavi to date is is the smallest newborn I've ever photographes. He was just over 5 lbs during his first photo session. Here he was then.

One year later. He's grown wonderfully!

He was so funny singing along and dancing to the music.

The hat lasted for a couple of shots.
He really liked the cake eating part of the session and had no problem digging in.

Happy First Birthday Tavi!
From there - yes it was a busy Saturday - it was off to see 6 day old David Alexander fro his debute photo session. Here's the Little Prince.

A boy and his dog.
