I like to see families doing things together. Riding bikes, camping, doing yard work, even just reading books or taking a stroll around the neighborhood. You can’t hide your feelings when you are doing things together. A glimpse, a smile, even a tantrum. You don’t have to do anything special. These moments are precious and I’m glad I am able to record them with my camera. I’m calling this category of sessions “Theme day”.
Molly and kids are going to make some gingerbread houses for Christmas. Not from scratch. But kids don’t care.

We have been having sunny days. So nice. Look at the sunbeam shining down on her arm.

“Look, mom!”

There are 5 little houses in the box. Molly is busy assembling. Kiddos don’t mind. “Take your time, mom. Frosting tastes so good”.

Put some rock chocolate on the path and a candy cane on the roof.

Sometimes things happen. Good thing mom can fix it.

“Wow!”
They finished 4 houses.

Melts my heart.

You know what? I thought of my old college days when I first learned to sketch storyboards in television program production classes.

At our pre-consultation, Anne Claire told me she likes vintage-inspired stuff. I thought it was very cool and unique because she is only 18 years old. I love to shoot someone who has her/his own style in mind. After seeing her wardrobe, I knew we were going to have a fun session together. Also, one of the benefits of living in New England is there are so many old mills around, so it’s not hard to find a perfect location.
I just love her smile.




Anne Claire fits right in at this setting.
Love this shot.



So beautiful and dreamy-she sings operas.

Playful as well-she runs and baby-sits too.

Behind the scene. I heart old bookstores. I know Anne Claire and her mom do too.
A side story here. They moved here from the South a couple years ago. When I first met them, I felt connected easily. They reminded me of my friend in the South-warm, genuine and so easy to talk with. The dad got teary when he saw the pictures. He got up to get an tissue and gave Anne Claire a bear bug. I had seen moms in tears, but it was the first time seeing a dad does. I was very touched. The mom was joking that I could make a crying man doing anything now…Glad to know this family.

Too see more pictures, go to my Facebook page. When you are there, why don’t you “like” me as well…:)

Until next time.
