Well Labor Day has come and gone, the unofficial end of summer, but hey, it might as well be signed, sealed and delivered official around here. The past 3 days have been wet, cold and grey. And so it spurs me to finally blog a few of the sunnier sessions that got put on the back burner this perfect New England summer. They aren't over, the sunny sessions, believe me, but these few may just get us through the next 48 hours that are supposed to be as dismal as the last.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ~Anthony J. D'Angelo
I had the distinct pleasure of photographing a photographer's sons. The reason... capturing your own kids as you know and love them is down right difficult. Why? Maybe because they are immune to your camera tricks. They act up for you as they would do for no one else and they would much rather have your two hands to carry, cook and color with them. Duh. I know it well and take fewer and fewer pics of my own kids these days, but I enjoyed my short session with these two mischief makers, appreciating the few quiet moments between them (pictured here) and understanding entirely why Mom runs around all day after them with little time for the perfect print. I hope to have her return the favor one of these days... maybe when my family is complete!
I mean look at all the faces a 3 year old can pull in 30 seconds or so. Quite something!
And then there was this delightful family. They are some of the few not on facebook these days, and some of the many who opt to not appear as part of the growing buzz of local businesses ala social network. Don't we all have a love/hate relationship with Zuckerberg? Of course I understand, but I've permission to share just a casual snap here... They were lovely!
And finally for today's dose of warmth, there was this little man who I met in a truly enchanted place: The Ropes Mansion Gardens in Salem. Beautiful, beautiful. He's the apple of his parents' eyes and so fittingly he sported red delicious on top. Amidst the ruby roses (that he just wouldn't stand by!) and majestic landscaping I had never seen, he looked just perfect. And his twinkly, have-I-got-news-for-you eyes are oh so dear.
