my muse this week was our 4 legged babe, our one + only spotted monster. he wasn’t too thrilled with this decision as he is 1 of the photo reluctant dudes in my life [my husband being the other] we adopted him 8 1/2 years ago, falling in love with his spots, humanlike eyes with fashionable white eyelashes, + the softest fur evah. each day i find a new favorite spot. if you could ask him he would say 2020 was the best year of his life + 2021 is looking pretty great too. he likes long walks, barking at postal carriers/ postal trucks/ fed ex + ups, treats, dancing, + my personal favorite when my husband turns him into ‘laser dog’.
i must sound like a broken record by now but i cannot stress enough how important it is to get your folks together + to have your family portrait photographed. i had the complete honor to do just that for the carlow crew this summer [hello, do you recognize lisa frechette photography? such a huge compliment for a fellow photographer to ask me to document their extended family…but we all know how much i heart lisa!] turns out even her extended family thinks i am funny. smart group…+ they brought a puppy which you should all know by now is my favorite.
love love love this three generation family session that took place in scituate ri. the matriarch of this family is a master gardener + i have to tell you i was in awe of her hydrangea tree…yes tree…such a lush + beautiful backdrop to this touching + intimate session.
i love thinking about future generations looking through my photographs; sharing stories + memories of the people included in these photographs, comparing similarities + pointing out family resemblances. the thought that after we are long gone a photograph can immortalize us, bring us back, make us known to future generations; gives me all the feels. this session here is very special to me because these three are very special to me. i am so grateful to be trusted to document their bond, not only for them but for the future generation as well. roger williams park in cranston rhode island was the perfect location for this autumn ‘mommy and me’ session.
[ethereal flower crown tea party was all the momma’s idea, thanks liz for making my job easy with not only beautiful subjects but a beautiful backdrop as well!]
