Highlights of Jennifer’s family session we did a few evenings ago. What a pleasure! After the pictures by the rocks we Tried to do another portrait in the tall grasses–but the mosquitos were too thick!! We jumped around swatting the skeeters, and disturbed a few deer, who were relaxing in the tall grass before we showed up.

This session reminded me that often the favorite picture from a family portrait session is not the posed picture.   Arron had his senior pictures -Dexter High School Class of 2010 – made last summer.   This June, after graduation, the family is moving out of state and the at  graduation commencement time, the extended family came together from around the country to celebrate & make an extended family portrait.  Can you guess which was  both the mom and grandmoms’ favorite picture of the two brothers?

Ah summer, here is a special little book made for 3 special little sisters.

We added words to pictures made at their tea party and put painted portraits on the cover.
Love the book–I searched
high and low to find a quality kid-proof finish at a price we can all afford.

Thanks to all who came out for pictures in the park!  We had some fun moments–even with the frosts! Lots of kayakers, dogs and nature lovers.  Another peak experience for color.  Looks like we’ll have another week of color..still have time week day evenings for you who wish to create special images for holiday gift giving…..

Today is a warm November day…a good
opportunity to get
the holiday lights
in order….

When Nancy called to find a time to do the family portrait, we played a bit of phone tag–with a job change, an area code change, selling a house, buying a house, relocating to a new city, having the family live in two cities at once–things are a bit chaotic, maybe too stressful for a family portrait she explained. But For Sure she wants lots of pictures of the kids playing. I told her, well, make sure you’re ready to be in the pictures too! Great news, she decided, hey, let’s do it! Let’s make it a family playtime session. And guess what? I had so much fun, I’m glad they decided to make it a Saturday afternoon session with the family, instead of a Wednesday morning time with kids only! After an initial edit of the images, I must say–’THEY HAD THE MOST FUN’ of all. I think she’s gonna cry when she sees these images!
