Portrait Fundraiser scheduled for Sunday May 2nd

I am happy to be working with 22 Mansfield 5th grade boys who formed the group Kids4Life. The Kids4Life Relay team is sponsored by Premier Athlete Training in their fight against cancer.

The boys are a bunch of friends who are anxious to aid the fight against cancer by helping those people who are going through this now and to remember those who have lost their fight. They understand that they can have a much bigger impact when they work together as a team, rather than individuals, so they have formed Kids4Life.

The portrait sessions will be taking place at the South Common of Mansfield starting at 10am on Sunday May 2nd. If you are interested in having your portrait taken please contact Roberta Sullivan at sullybb04@comcast.net or (508) 339-5410.

Hope to see you there for a good cause!

Its all about the light!

Had the opportunity to do a quick head shot of my neighbor Sandy and lucked out with some nice light. It is all about the light!

It was getting late in the evening when we finally got together and I knew we had to hurry. The sunlight was gorgeous but dropping fast. We headed up the rise in my backyard surrounded by soon to be blooming lilac, my neighbors swing set and mosquitoes big enough to throw shadows!

Everyone thinks you need a lot of room to take a portrait and that's hardly ever true. What's required is a pleasing background, nice directional light and a good looking subject. :) You got that and you are all set.

Think we only took about 2 dozens shots before we ran back inside and my favorites are included below. Enjoy!

Father Daughter Dance Portraits

Though these images are a few weeks old I just needed to share a few of them. Here are some portraits from the Foxborough Regional Charter School Father Daughter dance.

Not sure how I accomplished it but I completed 137 sessions in two hours and fifteen minutes. That's a little under a minute per session! No pressure. :) It sounded like a lovely event behind me but I never actually got to see it.

I enjoyed myself immensely and hope to have the opportunity to photograph this event again next year.

They're here!

We are so excited to get started with our Easter Portraits. Did a few test shots of my kiddies and they came out great. Think even the Bunnies were excited! :)

The new space over at Stylin Kids in West Mansfield is working out fine. Plenty of room for the sessions and a nice meeting area for review of the images.

We have just a few session on Friday the 19th but the weekend is almost completely booked. Should have reserved some time to have lunch! Monday is getting some bookings also which is nice. Think the Bunnies and I will be really tired by then. :)

New Album

Another beautiful album! :) Really very happy the way Jessica & Daniels wedding album came out. This flush mount leather bound album is a tall 10x15 inches. Now that's a big book! Can't help it but I just love showing my images as large as possible and this is the best way to do it.

I take great satisfaction in knowing I have created the first family heirloom for this couple and it will be around for generations. Makes me very proud. That's why the design is modern with traditional touches and sturdy construction.

The album shown below is my studio version. If you have a wedding coming up and would like to check-out this album and others please drop me a line, john@jfsphoto.com. :)

It's almost Bunny time again!

For the fourth consecutive year we are offering portrait sessions with cute, cuddly, floppy-eared bunnies that make unique and fun keepsakes. This always a fun time so come out and join us! We will be capturing your child/children with the bunnies, as well as take individual shots of just them and if wanted, some family portraits too!

Here are a few images from the 2009 Easter sessions.

Appointments are available Friday, March 19th through Monday, March 22nd. One hour will be needed for the portrait session and review of images. All portraits will be delivered before Easter – April 4th. The session package is $75 and includes 3 sheets of prints (your choice of a mix of 8x10s, 5x7s, 4x6s and/or wallets). Additional print sizes & packages are available.

Sessions will be held upstairs at the new Stylin Kids Salon at 22 Otis Street, Mansfield, MA located next to The Country Store.

Please call 508-406-5365 or email john@jfsphoto.com to reserve your session soon, as we will only have a limited number of sessions available.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
