Fairy Session & Dress Up Fun

Here's little Miss Nellie having a tea party with Tinkerbelle and her tiny fairy friends

Playing dress up is so much fun

In keeping with the fairy theme here she is again in her fairy wings

A plexiglass mirror was used for these reflection images

We added a butterfly for fun .

A magical Fairy Ball dropped in to say hello

"No, don't go!"

Just like magic!

Nellie had a great time with her photo session. She just had her bedroom done up in a fairy theme so these photos will be a great addition to the theme.

Here's a sample of a storyboard depicting the last few photos.

Spotlight on a Dance

This is Sandy. A talented young dancer who needed a headshot and a few dance pose shots for a couple of auditions for dance companies that she tried out for.

Congratulations to you Sandy for as I heard from your mom, you made it into both!

Dee

This lovely lady is my friend Dee, who commissioned me to take some photos of her and her daughter. Dee's Native American Heritage is prevalent in her home and her style of craftsmanship. Among other creative talents, Dee makes lovely jewelry and paints. We incorporated some of her talents in her portrait session.

Dee also sews and made the outfit that she is wearing in the image below.

White Dress Season

Here are a few fun images from Deanna & Chris' nuptuals this past Saturday which took place in Gardner, MA.

Here are a few images from Brenna's First Communion Portrait Session that took place on Sunday. She will make her First Communion next week end.

One subject - Three Sessions & Food for though

8 year old Nina was busy this weekend with her photo sessions. We started out with Nina and sister Kaleigh in their Easter outfits, joined by a couple of Spring friends.

Kaleigh looking adorable.

Nina did a quick change into her ballet recital costume.

Nina thought it was funny as I pulled off her ballet slipper and told her to put it on again.

After the 3rd or 4th time she realized what it was I was doing.

I desaturated most of the color from the image below. I really like this effect with ballet photos.
Another quick change created this jazzy look for her tap costume.
Nina had fun showing me some of her dance steps.

Once we managed to diffuse some of her energy, and another change, we moved into her First Communion Portraits.

Here she is looking very prayerful.

She did a great job with all of her session.

Sunday I took some food photos at a taste testing for a "soon to open" Irish pub in Marshfield.

Here are some of the menu items that The Bailey will offer, and my guess, will become well known for....

We have the buffalo wings. One of the two sauces that I tasted had a heat that didn't kick in until just after eating the wingette. It was light and really tasty.

Next was the crunchy and FRESH french fries served with vinegar, ketchup or this curry seasoned dipping sauce that was yummy.

Next on the taste testing menu was fish cakes. Not being a lover of fish cakes usually, I must say that although they looked good I was hesitant to taste these. When I did give them a try. they were absolutely delicious.

These special recipe, Bailey Spring Rolls were definitely my favorite of the day.

As entree's go a totally moist and tasteful meatloaf will be a regular item. This was scrumptious!

One of the desserts that will be served is a unique Irish Bread Pudding made with Irish soda Bread!

Maternity session

My weekend took me to Dedham for Patricia's maternity session. Here are some of my favorites from her session

Patricia will have her baby boy in a couple more months.
