There are some people that will focus and lament the sole cloud on a sunny day. And others that will make the best in the gloomiest of circumstances. S is one of those people. The latter half ;p She has courageously, and with an incredible sense of humor, gone through 6 months (after a breast cancer diagnosis) of grueling therapy. I can only hope that should such turmoil ever fall on my family, I would have the grace and strength S has shown this whole time. She contacted me some time back asking if we can schedule a time where we can do a session for her family before her hair had grown back. Well, of course! Our time together[…]See more from “Silver Linings: Belmont Children & Family Photographer”

It’s the time of year when no out-door photo-session is really, really safe from rain. As I drove up to our meeting spot, I gazed at the skies. They were turning gray and dark, and all I could think of was “Oh please, don’t let it rain!” I had checked the weather report over and over, and it was supposed to stay dry. I don’t want a weather fake out. Someone had good karma, because the rain kept at bay. Meanwhile, these guys were awesome!!! While I love the spontaneity of little ones, I also love the willing cooperation of older kids too. And N was such a great subject. Not only was he a huge help with his little[…]See more from “Dry Karma: Belmont Child & Family Photographer”

I love working with these guys! They were the very first family to ask me to photograph them (boy have I learned a lot since then!) and I appreciate all the support and love they’ve given me over the years. I also appreciate the fact that they were willing to drive an hour just to test out a new location with me.Thanx, guys!

Sometimes the best comes last: Belmont Child & Family Photography

Sometimes the best part of a photo-session happens right at the very end. It`s those last few photos that happen right when you think you`re done and are just about to pack it up. I`ve learned to not put my camera away until I`m walking away to my car… and it pays off!!! Like when I met with C, J, and baby O. It wasn`t until we thought that we were done that J asked “Hey is there a police station or a fire department near by?”, “Yes, actually, we`re a few yards away from the police department. Why?” Then J mentioned his crazy idea of pretending to drop O off at a Safe Surrender station. As it turns out[…]See more from “Sometimes the best comes last: Belmont Child & Family Photography”

2 yr olds are speedy little things. They also like to fully exercise their own mind and show you that no matter how nicely you ask (or plead) they will do their own thing. Such was the case with little A. He likes his tractor, and his special trains, but he didn’t really enjoy staying in the same spot for more than … Oh … 5 seconds 🙂 It’s not very often that I come across a session where the youngest of my participants wasn’t willing to be entertained (even through bribery). Hr even caught onto my imaginary squirrel spotting. He’s a bright dude, to be sure! Our shoot quickly converted to a ‘hey, let’s just go play on the[…]See more from “It’s a bird! It’s a plane!
