Sharing a few more images from my digi-minis this weekend. The snow on the ground here really helps with getting in the holiday spirit. I’ve got the smell of my fresh Christmas tree in the air here at my home office as I listen to my good friend Amanda playing Christmas music on WGTS 91.9 and I work on designing holiday cards for clients and ordering their portrait gifts.
You may remember seeing these families on the blog from their full sessions earlier in the year. It’s so fun to see how much the little ones have changed in just a few months.
These were my first digi-minis (mini-sessions for repeat clients where we shoot the session, select their favorite image(s) and burn a disk for them to take home and use for holiday cards and gifts…all in the one hour session). It’s like having the instant gratification of mall studios without the crowds! This year I opened up two days for the digi-minis, and they will continue this weekend.
My older daughter’s birthday is right around the corner, and for her birthday I promised her a trip to New York to pick out her first full-size American Girl doll at the American Girl Place. What a fun adventure seeing Lady Liberty from the Staten Island ferry, riding the Subway, and walking through the streets of Manhattan. I had my trusty point and shoot pocket camera with me so all of these images, except the statue at night, were taken the Canon S90.
My new magazine cover is out on local newstands with the Nov/December issue of Fairfax Woman magazine. Or the online version is available at http://www.fairfaxwoman.com/. This issue’s cover models are finalists for an award for women in technology.
Happy Thanksgiving! I thought this family was just the right fit for a Thanksgiving post because I know they are thankful to have each other this holiday. Today I am thankful for my awesome friends and family, everyone who has been so wonderfully supportive of my business, and for all the things I have that I might take for granted each day.
This little guy had the cutest little outfit for his portraits–from his newsboy hat to his argyle socks and patent dress shoes. He was such a joy to have in the studio, with his proud mom and dad.
