Watercolor Portrait..

During that quiet time of year, when I have the time to photograph what "I" want to, I invite into my camera room clients that will allow me to do just that. Sherry is one of those clients.
I have photographed her children over the years and I had an idea I wanted to try with a huge bouquet of lilacs. Sherry came through with a great dress for the shoot and I painted the image to give it a watercolor look.
Soooooo, if anyone out there would like to climb onto my 'play list' just give me a call and let me know who and what I can play with. :)

At this writing my neice Tiffany called and I'll be doing a Maternity shoot in about 6 months with her! YEAH!

Family portrait in Maine

The White family 2009

Allison booked her family portrait session for the coast of Maine, where we vacation for two weeks each year with our family. While on vacation we accept 6 appointments and Allison's family was one of them.

It had been raining off and on that day, but when we were scheduled to photograph the session, the rain had stopped. It was one of those magically blessed times when you feel The Lord's hand on a situation. The rain stopped for a 1/2 hour...just long enough to capture all of the images we needed to fulfill the family's desire for the Coast of Maine portrait.

Thank you!,

A Truly Rich Man...

When this young family came into the studio for their portrait session,

we discovered that each child wanted to be photographed with dad separately because he was about to leave home for his 2nd tour in Afghanistan.

And when mom came back into the studio to finalize the portrait order

she was in uniform also.

I asked how both parents being in the military worked

and she explained that there was an agreement ...

when one parent goes off to protect our country the other stays home to be with the children.

Tears came to my eyes. So much caring, bravery and 'love of country' in one family

was amazing to experience.

We have ordered a sample portrait for the studio of this outstanding family with the inscription:

"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms."

Thank you for all you sacrifice!
