Julie, my library volunteer and future librarian herself, did her maternity photos with me and I thought this was a perfect fit for the I Heart Faces weekly challenge!

I used the natural light in her bedroom to create these 9 month portraits of adorable little Avery! She really enjoyed the dress which leads me to believe she is on the fast track to being a little fashionista!

Erin is a sweetheart who works in the same school system as I do. We met through the bulletin when I placed an ad for photos- which is funny since we taught in the same school for a year but never met with our opposite schedules. Fast forward a few years and now that we don’t teach in the same school, we talk all the time!

She and Michael had a very specific vision for their wedding day at the beautiful Bristol Harbor Inn and the focus was on family. The wedding was small and each guest at the wedding was someone near and dear to Erin and Michael. Their son, Ryan, was also involved in all the festivities. Both of Erin’s parents and her son walked her down the aisle which was a touching thing to see. Overall, the weather was beautiful (well, quite windy and cold but certainly sunny with a great sunset) and the day went perfectly. Congratulations to two wonderful people!

This week’s challenge from I Heart Faces must feature the color black but not be a black and white photo. I chose this one because I thought the dark edges of the forest we took this in really added a mystical quality.  What’s really interesting is directly in back of me was the beach and it was the bluest sky and ocean ever. Those mysterious trees changed the whole look and feel of the photo but then we were able to turn around and go back to sunny beachy skies! Amazing!

Avery is such a joy to photograph. She’s really easy going and allows her mom to dress her in several outfits per session, which is good because her mom has a flair for buying the right clothes to capture many different moods, feels and holidays! This last session was a combo Christmas card, Halloween, one dressy and one casual outfit session. It was great. The sun was coming down at just the right time and I was able to do some family portraits as well. I can’t wait to see what Avery’s mom cooks up for our next session!
