Twin sisters. Always a favorite session with these girls.

I'm heading out the door this morning to deliver part one of an order for this family. It seemed like an appropriate time to show some of the portraits. I've been photographing these two kids every year since 2009, through the baby and toddler years and now as teens. A few years back the young man in this photo pointed to his watch and told me I had 15 minutes max! Each year I get to spend a little more time with them in front of the camera and I love it. Great kids and lovely parents. I don't want to share my favorite family portrait at the moment as it's slated for the holidays. I'll save that for a day after Christmas.

Two from a recent session. The last time we met up for photos was 11 years ago. How time flies!

It's been a while. I thought it was time to catch up with my FB page. What better way to start than with some Fall colors.

I've lost count of the number of photo sessions I've had with this family. I do know that the first time, T was pushed in the swing and A was just beginning to crawl. So here we are with some moments from the 2019 session that show just how much time has moved on. This is one of the loveliest families you can meet. Mom and Dad are always super relaxed about the shoot which is wonderful. I like to keep the meet ups as open ended as possible with some ideas of what I might like to try but with the view that it might not happen. T usually likes to be at home for the photos ( I like routine too, T!). However this year we went elsewhere for a different look and it worked out really well. I love the portraits that we got and I hope that, once again, the family will as well! Gallery will be emailed to you this weekend.

Just completed the order from this Fall senior session. One of my favorites. Loved taking the portraits and preparing the images. Wishing this young lady the best of luck for the remainder of the school year and what lies beyond.

I’d like to wish this family a very Happy Holiday Season. I had the pleasure of meeting them twice this year. In the Spring we held a portrait session just for the twin girls. In the Fall we did it again for family portraits. The girls were such fun to photograph. Their bubbly character was certainly captured in the portraits.

No, not that season, the other one, high school senior portrait season! We are in the thick of it now.

For those with portrait sessions to come, we will have images ready in good time for you to make a selection for the school yearbook. For those viewing proof galleries now, please have your choices to me 7-10 days minimum ahead of the submission deadline. That gives me enough time to make the portraits look wonderful and leaves the last few days for those with the later bookings.

Here's a couple of lovely portraits from a high school senior session held long before the chilly weather arrived.

Here's a really great senior session from last Fall. I am currently preparing an order from this session. It's always good to look back and forwards at the same time. Photo memories of your children can make you excited for what lies ahead. This young lady is now at college and I hope she's having a great start to university life.

Had a great session with this young lady recently. Proof gallery will be sent this coming Monday. Lots of great images to view

Your special day has arrived and I hope that the sun continues to shine for the ceremony this evening! I would like to wish all the Littleton High School Class Of 2017 much happiness, joy and success for their chosen paths in the years ahead. It was a delight meeting some of you this year and taking your portraits. It was also a privilege to know some of you as longstanding friends of my son. There’s one guy in this gallery who has been best friends with J since preschool. Good luck A. We hope to see you around for many years to come!

It's been a while since I blogged but here is a family that I really enjoyed photographing. I first met Mom, Dad and son last Fall for a lovely outdoor session which is featured in another blog entry. It was great to revisit with them back in February at their home for a newborn family session with the arrival of their daughter. I combined portraits from both sessions here. I hope they are doing well and enjoying their summer.

My daughter recently informed me that the photograph of her sitting on my bedside table was well past its sell by date ( by two years to be exact) and that she was none too happy about this. With this is mind it was a relatively simple task to get her in studio for some new shots. When all said and done I realized that the new set up was very similar to one I did with her four years ago. So as well as looking forward this new year I am also looking back. Here is a mix of images of my daughter from 2011 and late 2015. Happy new year everyone. Remember take time to create family memories this year that you will cherish for years to come. I look forward to seeing some of you again in the near future.

It was great to meet up with this family again, a year after taking the newborn and family portraits. I am just rounding of my work on their order so I thought it a good time to blog. The one year old daughter was a little more busy this time around and as the session finished I suggested we try some final shots of her with the dog. There was a chance it may not work. Why would the dog want to stay still with all that park to run around in and why would a toddler want to take a break from exploring? It all came together nicely as you can see in the final portrait.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with this lovely family for two sessions. The first was outdoors when the star of the show was their eldest son. The newest addition to the family arrived shortly after and second son was the main attraction in studio. I put together some selections from both sessions here. It’s nice to see the contrast in mood between indoor and outdoor. Beautiful portraits
