Oliver's a Winner!

I am thrilled to announce a recent photo win! Well, really it's a win for Oliver, my dog, who you might remember from a few entries ago around the holidays. Apparently he has a "bling personalized collar" coming his way.
I'm so proud.
CHECK IT OUT

Kid Fun

I couldn't post these sooner because the parents of these little ones, who are also friends of mine, were going to give the photos to their parents, the grandparents of the children, for Christmas. So, here they are. These are my favorites from this shoot, anyway.

Happy Holidays!

Sarah's family

When I entered their home, Alex, came running around the corner, cracker in mouth, "Cydney! Are marble tracks your favorite thing in the world?!" I told him I didn't know but if he showed me one it may become my favorite thing in the world. At the end of our shoot, Alex let me play with it a bit; a tower of plastic tracks, tubes and spinning wheels that marbles pass through from the top. Very cool, and quite possibly my new favorite thing.

Sonia and her Family!

I had a great time this weekend wandering the South End with Sonia and her family. She lives with her sister int he city, but her parents came in form out of town for the Thanksgiving weekend and they hired me to come and photograph them altogether.

Candles on The TRee

Every year, my family hosts a holiday party during which we light real candles on our freshly cut Christmas tree. It is a very nice tradition. Some guests choose ornaments near a candle and if their candle is the last one to be blown out because it's at the very end of it's candling life, they get to make a wish.
It's fun. And pretty. So, today my Mom and I works to take some photos that would work on our invitations for the party.

This one's being printed on the back in a smaller size.

Jason, Kimberley and Owen!

I am learning that the best advertising is word of mouth. Thanks to the Jacquie's dad, I received an email from Kimberley, who was looking to have photos done for the holidays with her husband Jason and their son Owen.

Kimberley came across Mystic River Reservation, and suggested we go their for photos. The variety of vistas - tall grasses and willow trees, benches and a tower, gave us many great places to snap some shots. Good thinking, Kim!

This is my favorite of the family shots.

I like the movement created in this shot by a slightly slower shutter speed.

Can't have a shoot without Ducky!
