April 2009 Claire's Nantucket Studio Portrait
Jodi, Claire's mom, has had her family portrait shot by us every summer since her eldest JT was born, but after seeing the studio series of the children's portraits from this winter she wanted to have Claire photographed in the studio as well. Jodi is an amazing cake baker and creates many of the cakes for my weddings and also for my family's birthdays and it's fun to see her kids grow up. Jodi is also going to take my upcoming photography class here on Nantucket and learn how to photograph her kids and her cakes on a regular basis. Check out her website to see her awesome cakes:
Jodi's Cakes.
Before Jodi came in I had the pleasure of photographing Mandy McCleave of The Calming Room for her business headshot which I will let her show you on her website when it debuts. She is also a wonderful addition to any Nantucket Wedding with her knack for makeup to bring out anyone's strongest features. Check out her website as well:
The Calming Room.
PS. Did I mention that I love my job which is not really a job, but a passion and a wonderful life?

April 2009 Lucy and Lily Have a New Brother
Evan is one lucky little guy to have two doting sisters and it shows in these photographs. Just a month ago I photographed him in his mom's tummy and now he's here! These were taken in their Nantucket home the other day.

April 2009 Nantucket Children Portraits - Part 4
The personality of a child shines through in a portrait sitting. Or it should! It is fascinating to me to watch the child's comfort level grow during one of my portraits. Yes, this is Sonia who feels very comfortable and bordering silly in front of a camera, but working with her I was able to really achieve my goal: to freeze this stage in her childhood so that I can look back in the years to come and remember my Sonia at this tender and sweet age of five.

April 2009 Continuation of 90 Ballerinas
I love this project and can't wait to see the photos all together set to music. Nantucket Community School's ballet program with Ms. Jacki is such an enriching experience for our young ladies. After photographing over 90 ballerinas I am blown away by the girls' dedication and motivation and by Ms. Jacki's endless energy.
My photography class is just about full. Imagine that! After putting it up on Facebook the class was 90% full in just 24 hours. I love Facebook and its networking capabilities. Plus it's fun!
