Where was I going with that..
oh ya;
For those of you would know me, or read this blog; then you are aware that I have with the help of partner(s) opened a Family Portrait Studio here in Cambridge... Weddings, Maturnity, Children, and Family photos, both in studio and right at your front door... (or local park etc..).
It's something that I feel strongly that I could have done 4 years ago. As you know, in the field of photography, your portfolio is your resume. Four years ago, I had very few kid, family, or wedding photos that could make up a portfolio; but someone very close to me had their frist child :) But for some reason, that person and her child became partise, and portfolio material for another photographer; who was just starting out (and now has a thriving business - in Belville, mind you- nonetheless that opportunity became out of arms reach), and I wasn't bitter, but more of a disappointed that a relative would favor paying a stranger, than allowing me the pleasure of photographing; her now, two boys, for absolutely no cost. Odd :)
Back to the present day...
My two cousins have just had children.. within months of e
ach other. If you have a quick look at my blog's new banner, I'll introduce you to Molly.. The younger of the two cousin's kids :) and also to Elysha (oh my I hope I spelled it correctly). I think that you will be seeing alot of these two cutie's in my blogs for a long time to come. I was also lucky enough to met little Billie this weekend. My friends, and proud new parents, Amanda and Tim, brought her by the studio for her first photos; including the "Cutie as a Halloween Pumkin" photo at the top of my post today.. I have known Tim and Amanda for a while now (you'd likely be able to spot Amanda in for of my photos).. and Tim is a big guy. He's a country farm boy, with the size to match.. the only reason I mention it; is because while I was taking Billie's photos, it's also fun, and really touching to watch "new" parents. Amanda check Billie's diaper no less than a half a dozen times, in the hopes that if she had wet her diaper, she won't have to spend a single second longer than she had to in an uncomfortable diaper; and as big a guy as Tim is... when he held Billie, it was with such a gentle love, and pride, that you could almost see a glow
around the two of them. It's the reason I wanted to also share the photo of my cousin Kevin walking Elysha... The love and pride in his face is a billboard for a life of happiness.



Am I lucky? Absolutely.. I am already loving this newest chapter in my life, and career in photography. I love what I do, and am so happy, and excited to be able to be a small part, in creating the photos, to capture the memories that will tell the story of friends, family, love and happiness.
I would also like to be able to take your family, and kid's photos.. and be part of recording the memories that will last a life time.
My new Portrait Studio in located in the Hesepler part of Cambridge.. at 165 Fisher Mills Rd, or you can also call 519-220-0100, or 519-594-2291 to introduce me to your family and set up a time to take your families' photos. Let's get started :)
Oh... yes; I am extremely happy.
