J Man is One!!!!!!

Joseph is another one of my loyal customers.  He hired me in the womb and has remained faithful to my lens ever since.  The little guy turned one and insisted that I take his head shots even though mom wanted to take him to Portrait Innovations (hehe).  Joseph is my kind of people!

We had hoped to be at Mill Race today but there was an "event" (the nerve) so we had an impromptu session in downtown Plymouth.  I'm secretly glad we ended up there because there was a girl playing guitar and the only song she knew was "Hey Soul Sister".  So we were able to hear it twelve times.

Joseph was great!  He only fell on his head once and it didn't bleed much.  Just a bit of a bump and a few tears.  He's a tough dude.

Joseph, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!  Tell your mom thanks for lunch...it was yummy.  Next time we meet, we're shooting at the MGM in Vegas.  Enough of this park stuff.  You're ready for the big time.

Watch and You'll See, Someday I'll Be, Part of that World

As many of you now know, my daughter, Lydia, has a recent obsession with The Little Mermaid.  She has now permanently taken the name Ariel (all of her crafts from camp have come home with that name written on the back) and wears her costume with the mermaid fin and purple "boobies" (AKA, bikini top) each and every day.

You have to admit, it's pretty awesome to see your kid running with their vivid imagination.  I try not to discourage it.  But, sometimes, a mermaid costume that is 14 inches too long is inappropriate for grocery shopping.  Or maybe I just need to get one of my own and try it out.  I shouldn't knock it until I try it.

Anyway, I decided to do a little photo shoot with "Ariel".  She was on cloud 9 because I told her if she worked with me, then I would put her in the ocean.  That was pretty much the most magical thing she had ever heard and the poses were coming so fast I couldn't keep up!

I hope you enjoy these shots.  And if you would like to see your kid's latest obsession come to life, drop me a note at photography@auntspray.com.  

Reya is Here!!

I'm sure you've heard that a mother's instinct is always right. Well, I can tell you that in Reya's case, this is 100% fact. As you read in my previous post about Snehal, she knew Reya would be here early and boy was she right! We are so lucky we scheduled her maternity shots when we did!

Reya is the most beautiful little girl. So small and so full of potential. I just LOVE newborns. Mom looks stunning, as always, and dad and big brother seem totally at ease. Additionally, Reya's grandparents are here from India until December to help mom adjust. How lucky is Snehal???

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! There are so many more images coming your way next week. I have to stop myself or I'll stay up all night!!
