Brian – Senior Portrait Photography {Vermont senior photography}

Louisa — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:01:40 +0000

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting Brian and his mom for his high school senior portraits. The weather was getting pretty hot out there but we were able to take advantage of the soft light at the end of the day for some pictures. Thank you for letting me capture these images for such an important milestone! Here are a few from our session.

Back-to-school portraits {Essex, VT children’s photography}

Louisa — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:21:42 +0000

My kids LOVE to be in the studio. Unlike most children I photograph, they are always begging me to take pictures of them! Often I don’t because I hate to say it…it sometimes feels like work. I am much better at capturing them with my little point and shoot during random moments of the day. But, we went back-to-school shopping and they convinced me that it would be a great idea to do a back-to-school photo session. I couldn’t disagree. The girls had a blast choosing their outfits and the backgrounds to go with them. You’ll see a lot on a new backdrop I have which is an old architectural door. The kids love it. Griffin didn’t last very long but the girls were still raring to go when I was ready to call it quits! If only I could convince other children that having your picture taken can be a blast. Here is a short video (3.5 mins) of the pictures from our session.

Sonia {Richmond, Vermont children’s photography}

I met Sonia about two years ago. She first came to me right after she started walking. She was so full of energy and had lots of amazing expressions. Seeing Sonia last week was such a nice treat for me. She is now three and an amazing little girl. She is sweet, polite, fully of curiosity and so fun to chat with. I heard all about her new special necklace, her favorite colors (pink and purple) and her new beautiful dress which her Grandmother gave her. She called all the flowers ”ice cream cone flowers”! Both strawberry and vanilla flavor! We do have an over abundance of echinacea plants…if only they were ice cream cones YUM!

Jack ~ 2 and a half {Burlington, Vermont children’s photography}

Louisa — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 03:05:01 +0000

Mr. Jack and his Momma came for a visit earlier this week. Jack is 2 and a half and such a sweet little boy. He had none of the “terrible two’s” in him – not that I really believe in that (everyone knows it happens at 3!) He had lots of smiles for me and was very curious about everything. Why did I have an outlet in the middle of the room? Why do I have chains hanging from my backdrops? Why did I have a big truck in the studio? Why would I put a baby in it? Ha ha – these are all very valid questions. I loved all the questions – keep them coming! It keeps me on my toes and helps me stay connected with these curious bundles of energy. I hope I get to see you again Mr. Jack, the pleasure was all mine.

Sweet Madeline {Vermont children’s photography}

Louisa — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:20:41 +0000

Sweet little Madeline came to the studio with her mom and dad last week. She was full of smiles but also a little shy. What do you do with a giggly shy little toddler? You give her lots of mommy and daddy cuddles, a little bit of swinging and some crackers to make her happy. I love the connection that she has with her family, you can see how much fun they all have together. Here are some images from our session.

Family lake portrait session {Vermont family photography}

Louisa — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 23:11:54 +0000

One of the best things about my job is capturing moments that tell a story. These may be big memorable moments but often they are small quick moments. These may be moments that might not have even been realized, only felt with joy or a giggle…like the pleasure of driving fast on a speedboat across the lake or a giggle with a silly smooch. I felt honored to be able to catch the story of this family with a reunion for a special birthday in a beautiful setting on Lake George. We played a little on the dock then took a spin on the lake to capture some images on an island with the sun setting. It really doesn’t get any better than that.

Sun…family…fun…

Connor ~ 9 days old {Vermont newborn photography}

Louisa — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 13:13:21 +0000

I had a visit from such a sweet little boy recently. It was quite a surprise since we was born a couple of weeks early. I photographed his momma just a few weeks ago, you can see her session HERE It’s always so amazing to finally meet the little one that has been nestled inside for so long. Little Connor looks just like his Daddy and quite a lot like his brother. Here’s a sneak peek from our session.

PS. Thank so much for the coffee!! It is delicious!

Expecting soon {Vermont maternity photography}

Louisa — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 02:44:14 +0000

This family was such a joy to work with and I was honored to capture this special time for them. In just a few weeks their new baby love will be joining them. I know they are so excited and I can’t wait to meet their little bundle. Stay tuned!

Thanks for coming guys, I really enjoyed meeting you all and I can’t wait to see you again soon.

Anna – almost two! {Vermont children’s photography}

Louisa — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:38:33 +0000

Little Miss Anna first came to the studio when she was perhaps 8 months old. She looks just about the same but has much more hair and of course she if full or words to tell us about her world.

The last time we saw each other we photographed Anna in the studio. This time we had a sweet session in our flower garden. It was quite hot out but she didn’t seem to mind at all. She was very inquisitive about our bridge and the garden fairy. She also made great friends with our cat and dog. Here are a couple of captures from the session.

Sweet Maverick {Vermont infant photography}

Louisa — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:56:43 +0000

Sweet Maverick. I just love the name, it suites him so well. After a tough little first few months he is charging full steam ahead. I had the pleasure of photographing his beautiful mother and his two sweet sisters during a maternity session so it was really nice to see them all again with Maverick in tow. The session was as fun-filled as usual. Maverick was happy to play with whatever little toy I gave him, he gave me lots of sweet little smiles and lots of smiles for his mama too. His sisters were happy to let me take some captures of them too then they busied themselves with the many teddy bears and tu-tus that I have in the studio. Here are a couple of pictures of Sweet Maverick.
