Well, I knew I had my work cut out for me the first time I met Tom, Christine, and their kids. Tom is a die-hard Boston sports fan and his son’s room was decked out with New England Patriots paraphernalia. I, on the other hand, bleed NY Giants blue and taught Jeremy Shockey everything he knows (even how to grow that beard). We did manage to get along for a few hours while I got some great shots of him and his family. Seriously, I had so much fun with these kids and can’t wait to see the new baby…I’m already booked for the newborn shoot so you’ll get to see it too! Click below to see their slide show.

I had the coolest maternity shoot with Kate and Joel at their home in Branford. Kate is a fellow artist and was up for anything and everything! Check out her “currently under construction” website: http://www.k8long.com. They said they wanted some really creative shots and a few for the family as well. Hmm…tough call if these are good for the family but they’re definitely creative. Click the image below for the slide show. I also put up some of my favorites below the slide show. Thanks guys, I had a blast. Music copyright Bonnie Somerville

Kate looks absolutely stunning in this pic. Just look at that glow!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m offering custom designed holiday cards for 2007. For all you last minute types I’m officially reprimanding you and ordering you to book your portrait session so your cards will be ready in time. What’s that you say? Don’t have time to book a session before the Holidays roll around? Still want a super-cool holiday card to send to friends and family? No sweat, I’m offering my card designs to anyone and everyone, regardless if you have booked a photo shoot. Find your favorite family photo that you’ve taken yourself, email it to me, and you’ll have your cards in no time.

If you’re a past client (or member of the raw photo family as I’d like to say) and would like to use one of your pictures from your session just shoot me an email and let me know which picture you’d like to use. Yes, of course you get a discount on the cards if you’re a member of the raw photo family…man, you guys are always out for a deal, huh? That’s why I love you!

Check out some card samples below. I’ll be routinely adding more samples as the holidays get closer so be sure to check back often. IMPORTANT NOTE: these are not the only types of cards that you can get. Your cards will be custom designed…like home baked chocolate chip cookies from scratch like Mom used to make. You can even pick the colors and how many pictures you’d like to use. And of course you won’t have my logo slapped on the front. The ordering process is really easy – you’ll be able to order them right from the Print Room with your credit/debit card. Cheers.
