Just back from the printers - the Dearborn family holiday cards.  Here’s a few images from their session:

A couple days ago I poste images of the Hill’s snow poster, and I just wanted to add a couple of shots from their family shoot. The Hills live in Florida, and we’ve been fortunate enough to have them in our studio while they’re visiting New England several times now.

Here’s the final snow poster for the Hill family, and then we’ll look at some of the images taken to create it.

So the Hills came in for a family shoot (I’ll post those tomorrow), and they also brought some of their skiwear to create a winter poster. Here’s what we do.  Each person is shot seperately on a white background, sitting on a sleigh, and they have to rock back and forth and pretend to be sledding.  We’ve got fake snow to press on them, and give the sleds some realism.  Then the images are combined to create our snow stories.  Okay, here are some of the snow images that created this:

Here’s Sarah’s snow angel:

We also did a cheer poster for Sarah and Scotty:

Same thing here - a ton of images are taken of them seperately and together, and combined to create the entire cheer squad. I’ll post the family part of this photo shoot soon.  Thanks for looking.

The Rodger’s family Christmas card, and a few images from the rest of their session:

The Baumel family:

These are a few images from a low-key, black and white connections session.  These emphasize the relationships between family members, without the distractions that colorful clothing has.

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, and when Fred Bush called from New York to book a family portrait as a gift for his parents, I was intrigued. Sons seldom schedule portraits, maybe never.  Daughters do, but not sons.  Only Fred, now that I think of it.  A great family -we really liked meeting everyone.  Thanks Fred.

This is the Zangari family, and a few of the breakout shots from their beach session we did.  Whenever we’re working with a large family group, we always leave time to work with each of the family groups seperately.  This was a two hour shoot, early in the morning.

Here’s what Chris wanted for her mother’s day present:
