More beautiful Cameo models! At the beginning of the session, they turned to me and asked “can we take some trampoline photos?” Obviously my answer was a “yes!” :) How fun?

 Just a note on availability: April is currently booked (barring cancellations or moved shoots), and May is booking. I’ll be starting to shoot on limited weekdays starting May 18th.

 For photographers: a new actions and design site will be launching soon, with new action sets and some very fun (animated) design options for your website and blogs!  Check back for updates. :)

Until next time,

I believe we were dancing to Beyonce at this point- a very wise choice for mirror-dancing. ;)

xo, MG

 More to come!

…and that is literally just the beginning. I didn’t make it around to absolutely everyone, as I was instructing, but I made it to most of you to grab a few shots- more tomorrow. I have a couple gorgeous model shoots I have to blog as well, so this will be a busy posting week :)

Until Next Time,

Remember that 100 degree day, with 100% humidity? The one where you stayed blissfully inside with your air conditioning and cold lemonades? Well, while you were cool as a cucumber indoors, myself and this beautiful family ate ice cream, jumped, ran, and dodged waves on Plum Island and downtown Newburyport. And lordy be was it ever HOT!

When I was emailing with mom, she mentioned, when I sent her our What To Wear Guide, that kids clothes were a sort of ‘hobby’ for her. What a coincidence! They are an obsession hobby of mine as well. And she didn’t lie…the girls were decked out in everything from Oilily to Paul Frank. All of the girls’ shirts up there are PF, one of my favorite brands. :)

I had them climb up on this lifeguard stand, and a couple minutes after this, all three of the kids dared Dad to jump from the top. Did he? Why yes. Followed by all three of them, haha.

Had to share a quick snap before I dive into editing! :)

Until Next Time,

She was a such a happy, happy kid! Full of light and spunk. We shot these at Maudslay estate in Newburyport MA, and while we were walking down to this flower field, she would ask “when are we going to take pictures”? I love a kid who’s ready to take pictures even before we get to the location ;)

We headed down to Plum Island afterwards, where we played chicken with the waves. As you can see, Meili won most of the time.

Meili: 100, Waves: 0.

Meili and her little sister, Sienna. S was quite the model, too…in between Meili’s “looks”, when she was changing outfits, Sienna would take her chance and plop right down in front of me and pose, haha. Kids who run towards you and poses? Yes, please!

Meili is with Cameo Kids, and is going to be modeling and acting with them. She’s got ‘it’, that’s for sure!

Until Next Time,

NOTE: I’ve just been informed that COMMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING (Thanks, Andrea!). I believe I just fixed the problem, but please let me know if you still cannot comment. I was wondering why things were a little quiet over here. If there’s anything you’d been bottling up in the meantime, feel free to show some love to the last few posts!

Just a teeny, tiny sneak peek…because lord, do I ever have SO MANY images that I love from this session. More to come for sure, I just had to post these ones!

Until Tomorrow,

Is there anything to say about this session that isn’t said above? Watermelon, hammocks, swings, porches, and smiles- can you even get any more summery? I had so much fun, and by the looks of it, Julia, Nick and family definitely did too! ;)

We did some shots with that lovely tent, too…more to come with those!

Until Next Time,

Maya is a Cameo Kid I got to hang out with yesterday. She giggled, ran, giggled, and ran some more. That was our session, haha! Isn’t she beautiful?

I don’t usually do black and whites, as you know, but I had to see this one as a moody duotone:

Maya’s brother Leo came along for the session, and one Maya took that brown hat off, he promptly put it on and ran around for the rest of the session giggling in it, haha. Nobody could get it off of his head!

Maya’s dad is from Ethiopia, and his family brings back all sorts of beautiful Ethiopian clothing for Maya and Leo. This is a genuine Ethiopian outfit, that Maya’s mom wanted to see her playing those drums in (also from Ethiopia!)! She was belting out “I’ve been working on the railroad”, haha.

All for now! Check back tomorrow for the most beautiful belly!

Until Next Time

Mariah

Yes, you are correct, that is the cutest baby in the world. This is the owner of the new Kids’ Clothing store “Recess”, located in West Newbury MA,  and her daughter. These images are from a shoot we did to actually decorate the walls of the store. We shot at one of the top Playgrounds in the Northeast- Action Cove, that I have to admit, made me want to drop my camera and slide, swing and climb, haha!

These images will be gracing Recess’ walls, displays, and brochures. I’ll give a shout-out when they’re open and all decorated!!

More to come!
