Holly Springs Rep Unveiled

Family Tree

Here are a few images from last month.

Trilby

Sunday I photographed Trilby. We were supposed to do it on Friday night but the rain stopped us. Sunday afternoon when I showed up the sun was shining and it was a gorgeous day. We took about 20 images and suddenly it grew very dark and quite the storm came in. Trilby has a great home and we were able to use the front porch and tons of other areas to get some great shots. Thanks Trilby, it was great fun!

Amy

Amy had a beautiful day for senior portraits. We started in the studio and then moved on outside to get some great shots with her and her grandfather's truck! We even got her dad in one to show 3 generations! I love when we can personalize senior portraits like that. Senior portraits should be all about who the seniors are. Thanks Amy, I had a great time!

St. Mary's Senior Rep

Here's a sneak peak at a shot of my St. Mary's Senior Portrait Rep. More to follow.

GH Senior Rep Movie

There's a learning curve on the computer - especially for anyone born in my era where one computer took up one large room. So, I'm finally arriving and learning how to make movies and put them on my blog. We've got 4 senior reps coming up in the next few weeks from 4 different high schools in the area. Here's the first movie!

3 months old

Little Will over here is 3 months old now - so cute - he made the funniest faces. No two images were alike with him!

Baby visits are important to keep up with. Babies change so fast so I recommend newborn, 3 months,6 months, 9 months and then 1 year. After that we go on to 18 months, 2 years and then 3 years, 4 years, 5 years. This is when the cheesy school pictures start. But they should never replace great images of your child. So, I recommend at the least age 7, 9, 12, 15 and then senior portraits at 17. College portraits at college graduation are also great. I remember my grandparents kept the college pictures of their children up on their dresser until the time of their death. My grandparents lived thru the depression and had very little but pictures were valued highly -until my grandma went to clean house before moving to a residence home and my aunt rescued all the cherished family portraits from the garbage! (altho not those of her children!!) They are now proudly displayed on her dining room wall. I love to look at them and see family resemblances with my children, old dutch clothing and little boys and girls in white dresses. And so the beat goes on.
