Under the influence / Soundtracks + editing

 Here we are running around the sidewalks of North Adams right before Sarah + Sean's wedding...we got MANY honks + hoots from the passing cars.
There's something about these images that make them look like they're in a miniature set...like little wedding dolls.

The fabulous Maggie / Senior portrait session

tinyCRUSH Fall trunk show at Magpie / Don't miss it!

NEW cozy fall pieces from designer Dre Rawlings!  I think I heard her whispers of cocktails + furry leopard dresses..hmmm I'm IN.  And yummy stuff to snack on by the fabulous chefs at Magpie.  It's a fantastic excuse to get out and enjoy the lovely fall air before it turns frigid here and we go into hibernation.

Saskatchewan Skinny Dipping / Smoke Don't Smoke

  Cabin Fever by Saskatchewan
  Dreamboat by Saskatchewan  

Did you skinny dip this summer? Has me thinking of the old Marsh Creek days with my sis + friends...and getting in trouble with park rangers.

tinyCRUSH in the trees...farewell to summer

  Just a typical summer evening at designer Dre Rawling's house...lovely ladies, hanging in juicy fruit striped tree houses and drinking pink bottles of rose wine paired with platters of fancy french cheese, cherries, and apricots. There was also a lot of playing with rabbits and frolicking in her mom's daisy patch.  Everyone wore the IT shirt of the summer...Dre's Margarita blouse (lot's of green python, lavender, + a coral color shown in the image below).
Her FALL line is coming soon!!!  Lots of new cozy design for fall...AND she's having her much anticipated trunk show of the fall line at Magpie (see the last post) in Greenfield on October 11th.

Magpie...in the hood

Our family loves this place. Although it's best known for it's pizzas, I love getting a big delicious salad and few appetizers and splitting it with someone.  Oh and having lots of cocktails, of course!

Senior portrait / Kaytlin

I have faith that Kaytlin will do really well in this world. Not only is she smart as a whip, but she has an old soul quality to her and she holds herself with lots of confidence.  The fact that she is naturally BEAUTIFUL doesn't hurt either!   This girl doesn't need any make-up at all.   I tried to capture how bright and thoughtful I found her to be around. She is also a field hockey star so we took some fierce field hockey outfit shots as well. One of the things I loved most about my session with Kaytlin and her mom Bridget was just watching what a close mother / daughter bond these two have...really, really sweet!
In addition to taking the yearbook senior picture, I also thought about how else these images might be used to help her in the future. In the world today anytime you apply for a job, internship, or scholarship people look up who you are and what you are about. I think some of the images I gave her could translate quite nicely into starting a professional profile for herself. It's all about good first impressions!!!
I hope she has an AMAZING senior year and can't wait to see what she will do in this world!

Director Neil Krug ...on my radar

I just discovered him today and it feels like I have new eyes again. His stuff is so fresh, dreamy + totally weird. He did this video for Ladytron below + here's some of his photography:
