I hate to be the one to bring this up….but with summer almost over it’s time to get in gear for the holidays! Ok, I admit….I am SO not ready but the planner that I am, I’d like to help all of you out! It’s time to start thinking and doing. Photographs make the best gifts and cards! Book a casual photography session with your favorite people or pets and let the images say it best. The best is to book a photographer now so there is plenty time for production and card/print ordering, especially if you plan on sending out many holiday cards. You’ll need time to write and ship. Keep your photos simple and theme free for timeless use or add some holiday humor - be creative! Most photographers offer all the products needed to make your prints and cards extra special! I’m booking sessions now until end of November for the holiday deadline- contact me for more info and pricing!

Isn’t he adorable?! This portrait session was a birthday present for Wally’s mom from his dad - super cute. He was full of energy, I could hardly keep up with him! Lincoln park hosted our playtime and let me tell ya - that red ball was everything to Wally. He was so much fun! Sometimes I wish I could have that much energy! Check out the rest of Wally’s sneak peek… (more…)

Originally, I was on the hunt for Mother’s Day (May 11th) craft ideas because nothing says ‘I love you’ like a thoughtful gift. I found these 4 outstanding, diy projects that you could incorporate pet photos, wedding photos, baby photos or any photo for that matter! I think it’s important to give life to the images on cd and show them off. With everything being digital these days, seems that people forget to print photos! A reason why I offer an album and many other print materials with every wedding I book! I love the bottle-cap idea for napkins or place settings for a guest table. The tin cans would make personal wedding favors. Click for instructions: Personalized Magnets & Tins, Bottle-cap Magnets & Thumbtacks, Accordion Gallery, Pet Photo.

Aren’t these wedding photos incredible?! I have wanted to try various fabric back drops in my own wedding photography and while doing some research, I came across Lena Corwin’s Flickr page - incredibly excited! This is a great way to incorporate your guests in your wedding and it allows them to have some fun and quirky photos of themselves from your special day. Thayer’s work is featured in Martha Stewart all the time, and if I’m remembering correctly it was this wedding or another similar concept featured in Martha a while back. The creative combination of Thayer and her client, Lena is one to strive for when giving your wedding a memorable flare. Lena is a textile designer and illustrator, check out her adorable men’s ties!

I know you’ve been wondering what the kitties have been up to since spring arrived!? Ha! Our building hasn’t converted to air conditioning yet, and it’s been toasty these past few days. Boris has two coats of hair so we haven’t seen him around much because he cools in the shadows. He occasionally comes out of hiding to play with his favorite new toy, the gold bell! I accidentally stepped on one of the balls and broke the plastic around the bell. Best discovery ever! Desher lounges…she loves the heat! Such a cleaning diva. I love photographing animals when their most comfortable. So here are some more cat photos for your viewing pleasure.

Meet Ebi! For the past few days I was kitty-sitting Ebi for a good friend and neighbor. I noticed that they didn’t have any photos of Ebi around so I decided to have a photo shoot and surprise them with photos around the apartment! I think it’s essential to document loved ones in your life, including your pets. Professional pet photography has really come far and is a huge trend right now. Many (like myself) consider their pets as their own children so every moment is precious. Check out “I love Bostons” for some of my dog photos! I highly recommend having professional photos taken…this way you can be included in them as well! (more…)
