Baby on the way!

I had a great time the other day photographing a great couple awaiting the birth of their first child. Liz and Matt are full of anticipation and were happy to have some pictures taken. Liz is a very busy woman, working overnight in the NICO unit at a local hospital. She plans to work until her water breaks and just walk downstairs to Labor and Delivery! God bless her!

Here are some of the photos we got at one of my favorite places to shoot, Lunden Pond, in Monson, MA. This is not far from my home and has beautiful scenery year round. If you haven’t been to Monson, come visit. There are a lot of great spots to see and we’re not very far from wherever you are!

Congratulations Liz and Matt!

Winter wedding

As I was adding images to my blog home page, I came across this picture of Lindsay and Jeremy who were married last year in January. The snow made for a perfect backdrop to this image. I read on Facebook that they’ve just bought their first home! Congratulations to you both!

I’ve looked through a lot of my pet images and added them to the Pet Gallery. Have a look.

I’m adding slide shows of children, pets, weddings, and random pictures to the Gallery section above. Take a look!

George and Sarah have set a date!

I’m so excited about George and Sarah’s wedding. They’ll be the first child in each of their families to marry. They are hoping to have the wedding at a family home nearby in Monson. George and I photographed a wedding there two years ago. It’s a country setting with beautiful mountain views, a small pond, and of course with stunning backgrounds every where you turn! Can’t wait for the decision to be made. Of course Sarah and I have been talking about dresses and colors, etc. So much to plan, so little time… but, we really do have plenty of time.

Of course, so that I can enjoy being the mother of the groom, we’ll have another photographer shoot the wedding. I have a very good friend who is also a wedding photographer and I know she’ll love to do it; we just need to get together to discuss it. I’ll sneak my camera in with me so that I can get some of the bride and groom also. Maybe Sarah will be interested in a “Trash the Dress” session! After the wedding of course!

We’ll keep you posted! Oh, the date so far, is August 14, 2010. A date to look forward to!

More casual head shots of Gina

Gina needed another head shot, but more casual this time, so we tried to find a good spot with an interesting background, indoors so that we wouldn’t freeze as we were doing it. So on Saturday morning we headed to the Mass Mutual tower in downtown Springfield. As we were shooting with a brick wall as a background, the security people showed up and said that we can’t shoot any kind of photographs inside the building. What a shame, lots of interesting backgrounds and great light.

While we were there we met some friends of Gina’s at every turn; she knows everybody! There is a gallery of African art where a friend of Gina’s works. It was great to see all of the beautiful objects that have been collected to represent different areas in Africa. There is one wall dedicated to four of Gina’s paintings of African women. How often do you get to stand and admire paintings in a gallery with the artist standing next to you? It was great.

As we thought of other public buildings we decided to back to Gina’s house. We opened curtains and checked from room to room in her adorable, colorful home. We met a couple of her cats and were able to admire many of her paintings, including the fireplace brick area that has been refinished by whom else but Gina! Quite a treat!

We found interesting lighting and backgrounds in her dining room and a corner of her spare bedroom that worked perfectly and provided the images below.

Reba in the snow

During the little snow storm the other day, I took some pictures of Reba. She was mostly dirty except for her face! She had been rolling in what mud she could find before it snowed.

She looks good in black and white!

Gina’s head shot

Gina Beaver’s, a very talented artist contacted me for a head shot. She is headed to NYC to see where it takes her! Maybe as an extra on Law and Order SVU, her favorite television show. Gina painted a portrait of my three children a few years ago. I’ve included it in this post so you can see how beautiful her work is and how she portrayed my children. This is proudly displayed in above the fireplace in the living room.

Wish Gina luck in her new endeavor!

Matthias and Alex

My son, Matthias, and his girlfriend Alex were home for a few days also. I set up the studio lights in the living from since it was so cold outside and we had a blasts getting some pictures for them. Another handsome couple! Alex captured Matthias playing with the cat; what a great shot!
