See you on the otherside :)

Email Issues

It has come to my attention that some incoming emails are going missing. I have no idea why this is happening, but I can assure you, it is frustrating! PLEASE, if you use my contact page or email me and do not have a reply within 24 hours, please re-email me! I am normally good about getting back to people - but I can't respond to an email I don't see!

Thanks :)

Miss Me?

I cannot believe its already MARCH. Many of you know, I’m in my final year at Northeastern University, well actually, my final semester! My life is beyond crazy right now with graduation looming in less than 50 days – I’m excited, scared, happy, and in disbelief; all at the same time.

Another thing keeping me busy… photographers, if you haven’t checked out Designs by Taz, you are missing out! I’m blogging over there, as well as selling simple card designs I offer my portrait clients. Not to mention, designing custom logos and branding material for photography studios across the country (well, globe!).

What’s new in 2008 for Bring to Light? I’ve just started offering some deliciously whimsical handmade frames! Available in a full line of fun colors, with coordinating trims plus stripe, dot, and swirled options. These are some seriously unique frames, perfect for the nursery, kids rooms, and for seniors too. Check out some samples below to see what I mean. I’m excited to offer these, and I can’t wait to hear what everyone’s favorites are!

Coming up for air...

Whew, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel as my crazy holiday season is showing signs of slowing.

If you have emailed me this week and haven't heard back yet, PLEASE, email me again. I just discovered I have been bouncing emails and I would hate to miss your message!

I'm happy to say, 98% of my orders have been sent off - Now, I just have to find the time to order MY holiday cards!

Thanks for a terrific season everyone, I hope to see some familiar faces in 2008 :)

...and because I hate to blog and run without a photo- here is one of Boston's John Hancock Tower (and the reflection in the building is the old Hancock Tower). I took this from a moving trolley bus!

Can't you feel the chill?

Brrr, it feels closer and closer to Winter and snow :( Had to share this image I shot the other morning. I woke up early in Vermont and everything was covered in frost. I was on my way to Kristen's party and I saw this and had to turn the car around to go back for a photo. Its funny, because this is a road I use all the time, but the morning light makes everything a little more beautiful. I love the stillness of the water and the reflection, simply Vermont.

Kristen & Friends | Portrait Party

Well, I have been up to so much lately! One of those things is not blogging- and I have many things I want to come back to tell you about. Guess its one of the downsides to this very busy season!

Last weekend I shot my last holiday sessions at a portrait party for Kristen and her friends. I saw some familiar faces there and met some new families as well. And, I have to give props to Stuart, who got some great giggles out of all the kids by singing, doing character impressions, and just being all around silly! I know you guys are anxious to see these, so without further ado!

Sneak Peak for Partygoers

For all of you that attended Wendee's party last weekend, thank you for a great day! It was great working with a mix of ages, it kept me on my toes :) I look forward to showing off your galleries this weekend, but until then, enjoy this little glimpse into the day!

And Baby Makes Three

Ahh, the last of the bunch from last weekend. I have to say, I love the variety of captures from this newborn session. Eileen had a list, but went in knowing we work around the little ones schedule :) My favorites from the session were when we went upstairs and I worked from window light to capture special "mommy moments" like nursing and snuggling Skye. Brian was a bit shy about photos, but I managed to get a few of him as well. I especially love the contrast of his hands, rough from his line of work, holding a tiny soft new baby. And isn't the punch of colorful stripes fun?

The M Family

I've worked with Andrea & Mike and their daughter Sidney at least 4 times now and at our latest session I was introduced to Sidney's new sister Ally, now 8 weeks old. It is amazing to see Sidney now as a happy 3 year old, and I look forward to seeing Ally as she grows.

Kiah | Senior

Sorry I didn't post these last night, I konked out early, I'm sick :( Guess my busy weekend caught up to me!

It is always so refreshing shooting seniors, they look when I ask them to and can follow directions- ha!. We started Kiah's session around her house and went to a nearby park for the majority of the session. My favorite part of the afternoon was visiting the barn to see Kiah's horse, where Kiah felt right at home. I'm excited for you to see ALL your images, but until then, here are a few of my favorites.

Good luck with your senior year Kiah!
