Family Portraits and a H. S. Senior Session

This Natick High School Senior selected Elm Park for his photos, which has the most eclectic assortment of spots for photo backdrops. There were brick buildings, columns, a fountain. All kinds of hidden treasures. He started off with your basic H.S. Senior Yearbook style photos.

I had a bit of fun when he directed me to the "tomb" and decided to tweak the image below to give it an edge.

As far as family portraits go, this group of 2 families and a grandma was great! They were lots of fun and seemed to really enjoy their session.

Grandma with all of her grandchildren
The whole clan.

If you've been here before, you've definitely seen these two cuties before. It was time for their bi-annual photo session. They are getting quite good at posing for the camera without too much coaxing.

Except when someone doesn;t like to keep her shoes on :-)

A lovely pair they are.

It's certainly not too soon to think about those Holiday Card shots. from what I understand many stores have Christmas decorations already up. It seems like it comes earlier each year.

Layla's Bathtub Session

Here are some images taken at Layla's Bathtub Session.

Here are a couple with some photoshop enhancements

Only one hat image since she really doesn't like hats at all!
I really like this one with a colored pencil action applied to the image

Weekend fun with a Twilight theme

I needed a photo session depicting long hair for a Locks of Love promo that I'm putting together for this spring.

Because My niece is obsessed with the Twilight series of books and she fit the bill with the hair, I bribed her with a twilightesque session if she allowed me a hair session. Here's a few photos that we came a way with.

First the Twilightesque grouping that I put together.

I love Photoshop!

Here is a better idea of what she looks like normally

And here are a few shots from the hair session.

I needed these photos for a promo in support of the Locks of Love organization. This spring and summer I'll be offering a complimentary mini before and after portrait sessions for anyone who donates their hair for this cause. I will be offering this through my local hair salon,(Salon Aristophani) but welcome anyone donating hair to contact me for these complimentary sessions. Sessions include a 5 x 7 digital print from each session.

I couldn't end this post without thanking my other niece, Jenny for helping me to test my lighting and for assisting me by holding the reflectors while doing the shadowed imagery.
