When I arrived today for this little guys session he was sleeping. An hour into the session. . .still sleeping and over 2 hours into the session still sleeping. When I left - you guessed it still sleeping. It was like a little slice of heaven and I have so many favorites it was so hard to narrow it down! He is just so handsome and was such a trooper. Thank you N. & V. for sharing your little man with me. I had a lovely time meeting you both and grandma and grandpa too. What an amazing little family you now have!

I had the wonderful luck of photographing this gorgeous little girl one evening this week. Turning one means lots of celebrating - first steps, maybe a few new words, independence and lots of personality. Lets not forget her big party that is coming up too! Thank you for choosing me to capture your little girl, she is gorgeous and I had a wonderful time. Enjoy her party and I look forward to showing you her complete gallery soon!

I always find the dynamic with siblings funny - they are all the same. Love each other so much that they just love to smother on each other (and smother is generally what a typical 3 year old brother does to his younger brother). It was great seeing these two sweet guys again and I am so glad the weather held out for us. I had lots of fun singing songs and running around for them and well. . .just getting to act crazy and silly for a bit. Its all worth it if it means a great portrait at the end!

I have to admit - my heart skipped a beat when I saw this little one last night. She is just beautiful and I am in love with her big brown eyes. I think they have so much soul and light to them. I had a great time watching her explore and show me what she is all about. Her inquisitive personality kept me on my toes and we came away with great images. Thanks again Mom - I look forward to showing you the complete gallery soon!

Album Sessions - $250 Session Fee for up to 3 children, 5×5 Leather Album with 10 images from the session and 1 5×7 200dpi file of your choice with limited release. I will continue to offer this with limited availability for the remainder of the year. Only 3 album sessions will be booked for each month - and they are booking QUICKLY!

I have to say once again how much I enjoy providing custom portraits of children. It is so awesome to go to a park or a clients home and let the child be who they are in their own enviroment. This is especially true for boys and the outdoors - they just love it! I love the sweet smile and laughter on his face as he peeked from behind the tree at me, the sweet innocent smile and subtle tilt of his head in the color image and HELLO check out his lashes! I had so much fun with this little man before going on vacation and I am happy to share him here too!

Well I am finally home from vacation so I have a lot of blog updating to do! A couple of sessions and I’ll share some of our vacation too. First up though we have these three ADORABLE boys from a session on Long Island. I have known their Mom since we were little and it was wonderful to catch up with her after ober ten years. You have a beautiful family Danielle and I am so glad you shared them with me!

I plan on being on Long Island again in the spring and also next summer for sessions. If you are interested, please email me directly at samara@shportraits.com!
