Our Family is Growing

Lowell, MA - We had the pleasure of photographing the Andrea and Keith’s wedding back in 2007. As with a lot of our wedding clients, we usually seem to cross paths again once a new addition enters their family. In this case, one month old Madelynn was was star of this session.

We’d like to congratulate Andrea and Keith on bringing a beautiful baby girl into the world!

Addison, 1 month old

A Smooth Transition from Wedding Photography into Family Photography

Lowell, MA – Here’s a look at Addison’s newborn portraits from last fall. She was about a month old at the time and did a great job posing it up for the camera. Of course our favorite photo is the one where her older brother is holding her… priceless!

Our venture into family photography started when our wedding clients began having children. They would call us with their exciting news and in that instant we moved beyond the role of wedding photographer into the role of family photographer. The experience of a wedding really brings us into the lives of our clients, so when it is time for them to start a family they can still rely on our photography to capture the joy and love of family.

New Life, We Welcome You

Congratulations to Matt & Kerri! You remember them from their maternity session.

Words are escaping me right now, so I’m going to borrow some from Mr. William Blake.

Infant Joy
by William Blake

“I have no name;
I am but two days old.”
What shall I call thee?
“I happy am,
Joy is my name.”
Sweet joy befall thee!

Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!

Shawn & Jenny, expecting again!

Shawn and Jenny are expecting Rosslyn any day now and we are all super excited for them. This past weekend we had all three up to the loft for a maternity session, and we all had a great time. Ashley and I have watched this family grow over the years and it is truly a beautiful thing to witness. Thanks again to Shawn and Jenny for another amazing family photography experience; with much more to come … including Rosslyn’s newborn portraits … we can’t wait.

We had an amazing time with Mike, Shelby and their son Gabe during their family portrait session at the loft. If you can believe it was their first professional photo session as a family and I have to say it went great. Gabe is an amazing 9 month old who very much loves the camera. We can’t wait for his First Birthday Session, that’ll be a blast!

As portrait photographers we get to witness children and families grow. From the maternity photography to newborn portraits all the way up to the first birthday portraits and beyond, we capture the significant moments that make up a family’s visual history.

It sure has been amazing watching PW grow up over the last year. Stay tuned for his Year in Pictures.

Small businesses are the way to go

When you’re on the hunt for a deal or you’re shopping on a budget there is a good chance you’re going to end up at a large corporation – chain store. I know in this economy a deal is a deal and its nearly impossible to pass up. There is another consideration to be looked at however, and that is “where is your money ending up?”

Small businesses are the backbone of our local economies. They use their earnings to pay taxes and to make donations to local charities along with a myriad of other sources that provide stability and growth in our community. As each community grows, it fosters growth in the surrounding areas and pretty soon, we are all better off for it. Below is a personal experience that may benefit those who routinely avoid small business out of habit.

One afternoon Ashley and I were in the market for a stand up easel for a Wedding Photography display we were putting together for Bridal Expo. On our way to Michael’s Ashley said “hey, lets check out that frame shop we’ve been meaning to visit”. So we entered this little shop in Chelmsford Ma called The Art Room.

As we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly pooch, who was probably not the owner but could have certainly been the boss, if you know what I mean. The owner was on the phone when we came in, but immediately finished his call and we introduced ourselves. We ended up talking with James, the owner, about framing, matting, photography, art, music the Merrimack Valley and everything in between. James asked detailed questions regarding our business, our history and then we finally got on the subject of our current project.

Although, he didn’t sell the easels we were looking for he took out a sketch pad and put out an idea that would work much better than an easel. It was amazing, but unfortunately we didn’t have the time for another hardware store run, so ironically he told us to “just go to Michaels!” This is a prime example of a small business owner taking the time to speak with us one on one, give us advice and point us in the right direction, even if it wasn’t financially beneficial for him.

However, we undoubtedly are going to use The ART ROOM for all of our framing needs. Previously we were using an online company because of the affordability. After thinking long and hard we decided to put our money into small businesses because that is the easiest way to invest in our local economy.

This is highly applicable to the wedding industry as well. Why go through the mega-super corporations who only view your customer number and your balance due? Find a local florist, caterer, dress designer, tuxedo shop, photographer, printer and countless others who know your name, your fiance’s name and have a vested interest in producing a product that you will love.

Here is a short article which portrays the benefits of a small business relationship.
