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.
