Brothers - Child Photographer Hardwick Vermont

These brothers were in my studio today. My kids were thrilled to have some playmates for the hour or so they were here. Lots of funny faces were made behind my head to get some smiles. Having my kids at my shoots can be great for things like that, and for holding reflectors and fetching toys for little ones (like tennis balls). :o)

Love these sweet smiles I caught and the fun time we were able to spend together today. Enjoy!

Princess - Child Photographer Hardwick VT

Is there anything cuter than a red headed, freckle faced princess? Here's another shot of my friend Amy's little girl I took earlier this year when there was green grass and a nice breeze blowing. We had just had a girls lunch at a historic Vermont lodge nearby, and miss E wore her princess gown. Most appropriate. I love this child! :o)

Before and After - Child Photographer Hardwick Vermont

Sometimes a simple snap shop turns into a most beautiful portrait!  That was the case with these little beauties.  My dear friend Amy invited me over to see their new baby bunnies a few months ago, so I brought my camera along.  This is her lovely little red head holding one of them.  The light is always gorgeous in this house!  I hadn't planned on doing any serious portraits.  Just some snaps for a friend.  So, I didn't bother with a custom white balance, cleaning faces, moving hair out of the eyes, or moving distracting background elements out of the way.

Here is a before and after.  The before is pretty much straight out of the camera (SOOC), except for the crop.  Since it was "just a snap shot" it required a little more work in post processing than an image that was intended to be a portrait from the beginning.  But it turned out lovely, and will make a beautiful wall portrait in their lovely home.

Vermont Snowfall - Family Photographer Hardwick Vermont

The snow was falling so slow and beautifully this particular morning. So I grabbed my camera and stuck one foot out the door, and shot some photos. I'm allergic to snow, but I think it's realy perty. *wink*

Sweet But Tough Little Red Head - Vermont Child Photographer Hardwick Vermont

This is my dear friend Amy's little red head. She's a little ball of spunk and sweetness all rolled up into one. I love these shots of her I took over the summer. They portray her so perfectly. She's a tough little Taekwon-Do fighter on the outside, but simply the sweetest little girl on the inside. Life is good when your a little girl. Running through fields so carefree. I miss those days, don't you?
