Ohh, so many newborns this time of year. All these baby smells, coos and little eyelashes are starting to make my ovaries ache. ;)

Baby B is 5 days old here, and his mum and dad had just brought him home from the hospital the day before we did his pictures. Fresh out of the oven, this one is. His mama is one of the few people I know who left her baby’s gender a surprise, which I respect enormously- I would never be able to do it! Well, the wait is over- she has a beautiful, gorgeous baby boy. Meet Baby B, a much anticipated, much loved little man.

You can see his mama’s beautiful belly  in my banner up there! My spokes-belly, if you will.

Quick Note: I will be announcing my Holiday Sessions schedule very soon. Mini sessions and regular sessions will be offered, that will include holiday cards and digital files. I’ll also be offering a few surprise products that will knock your festive gift-giving socks off! More on that soon- booking will be very fast for these, so check back often.

Another note: Availability is out to September now, with only a few dates in August left. Consider booking a beach session with me before the holiday rush and impending Fall weather. As always, if you are expecting a newborn, please contact me asap with your due-date.

Until Next Time,

MG

That sweet little yawn melts me. Andrew and his clone. I’m going to stop writing for fear of tearing up again. The way he’s looking at him…absolutely slays me.

He was in love from the beginning.

Until Next Time,

How ’summer’ are these shots? I’m putting these up so you can all visualize yourselves running through a sprinkler, because gosh was it another hot one today! You might recognize her from a previous post or two ;). Such a great, great kid. Her Mama and Dad are the most down to earth, fun parents, and they volunteered to participate in my creative shoot after I had shot her modeling portfolio. Speaking of models…

 

Call For Models:

We are in need of models for a children’s photography workshop I am assisting with on the afternoon of September 13th, 2008 (can you believe we’re planning for Sept already? It was just May!). My lovely friend Cheryl Muhr is traveling to us in Boston to hold The Secret Workshop, and I am coordinating our models for the event. The workshop is for aspiring children’s photographers, and models will participate in the shooting portion of the instruction. All models will be compensated with the resulting images in digital file form (and you or your kids may be photographed by Cheryl herself, which, trust me, is a treat!).

What we are looking for:
Children, babies to teens (1-18).
One family willing to do group family photos (more can participate, but we need at least one!).
One newborn (2 weeks of age or under).

If you know of anyone that will be having a baby close to the workshop date, please let them know about the opportunity. The shooting environment would be extremely safe and clean, and it would be an awesomely unique experience for our workshop attendees to be able to see a newborn shoot.

Your children need not be professional models to apply. If you have worked with me before, please feel free to volunteer! I know many of you had offered to do my July creative shoots, and here’s your chance for more free images. You will need to be available for several hours on the afternoon of September 13th, and be able to travel to a location just outside of Boston for the shoot. Models will supply their own wardrobes. More information will be given as we get closer to the date.

If you are interested, please email mariah.mccormick@gmail.com with the subject “September Shoot” and include:
-A current picture of your child and/or family
-Your contact information

…and that’s it! Free images, an afternoon with fun, creative photographers, and the chance for some modeling experience. :) I will post updates as we fill our need for models.

Until Next Time,
MG

Mama love. Nothing better. My stunning friend Tess, and her son, G. He’s now almost 2 weeks old, and the time has flown by already (well, for me…probably not for the sleep deprived parents! :) ). I photographed his birth, and it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed. You feel an inexplicable bond with someone you watch come into the world, and the pictures still make me tear up when I go back to look at them.

As such, this will definitely be one of the most well-photographed babies in New England, as both his parents are great photographers…and I will be sure to take every shot of him I can get, haha! Poor kid won’t know what I look like without a camera in front of my face ;)

Oh, and I’m testing out/debuting the new watermark! I’m quite pleased with the way my little bird just sings right into the photo :) Adds a wee bit more color, too, which as you probably know, I am all for!

My beautiful friend Tess’s baby boy, G :) Is he not the sweetest doll you’ve ever seen? I didn’t know it was possible to be so in love with someone else’s child! :) Excuse the outdated watermark…I am working on uploading a new one!

Until Next Time,

MG
