First Communion Photographs|Boston Area Photography

First Communion, a milestone in a spiritual journey.  Memories to be treasured by family and friends to enjoy today, but most important to be remembered for a life time.  Kelley's photo shoot was so much fun. She worked the camera like a little model. Her day started with a trip to the hair dresser for an elegant hair style to fit the occassion, then a trip to the florist to pick out the perfect bouquet of spring flowers to adorn her First Communion dress.  It was so much fun to creatively capture Kelly's personality.  Enjoy the highlights to her photo shoot!

What to Wear For A Portrait Session

• First of all consider what colors look best on you.  There are certain colors that bring out the best in you and flatter your skin tone. 
• Solid colors usually work best.  Busy prints or clothing with words and patterns will demand the viewers attention and take the viewer away from your face (which is the most important part of the photograph).
• Dark colors will make you appear thinner and not bring attention to areas that you probably don't want to emphasize.
• Consider the room where you will be displaying your portrait and pick out a complimentary color
• If you want to achieve a monochromatic look you should consider: 
• Dark Tones
• White Clothing
• Pastels

White Clothing

Dark Tones

• If you like to play with color, stay within the same tonal range.  This can be a lot of fun but can be tricky.  Make sure that the room you will be displaying your portrait in will work with the color scheme you select.

Mixed Colors/Same Tonal Range

• If you are still not sure how to put together clothing and color than your alternative is

Professional Portraits Preserve Memories|Wrentham Photographer

1911

|The Best Reason to say "Yes" to portraits!

Every Spring I am reminded of what is beautiful in life.  A rebirth of hope and a reminder of what is important. For many children Spring is the time to acknowledge their purpose on earth and begin their spiritual journey.  First Communion portraits capture and preserves this memory for many generations.  The photograph on the left is  my Grandmother's First Communion created in 1911.  How lucky am I to have this photograph as witness to  my family's spiritual heritage. Through generations the only constant that prevails is the desire to preserve one's heritage and family values.  Portraiture and stories are our only tools to do so.

Professional vs Amateur Photographer| Norfolk County Photographer

Professional Photographer VS Amateur Photographer???

Today I made a long time client very happy.  The conversation went like this: 

 "Casey, you are not going to believe what I did to my sons three year old portrait (taken in 2003).  I know I ruined it, the photograph is stuck to the glass of the frame.  I don't know what to do, I love this photograph.  Do you still have the negative to this image?  Can I order a new one???"  

My Reply, " Well 2003 that's a long time ago, I believe that was in the good old film days. "  Well the answer is "Yes" I can replace that portrait for you!


The moral of the story is Professional Photographers take great pride in their art and go to the extreme to build a lasting relationship with clients.  We treasure your patronage and want to serve your photographic needs for a life time. Professional photographers spend their life learning and mastering the art of photography to provide their clients with the newest fads and technology and we take care of  your images long after you leave the studio, as though they are own family's photographs.

Boudoir Photography

 Boudoir Photography is not something new, it has been around for centuries.  But right now it is "hot".  Women have been asking me about this new sensation in photography and inquiring about my take on it.  So, to answer your questions, Yes, I will be launching a new site in early Spring dedicated to this beautiful form of photography.  My goal will be to celebrate the confidence and natural beauty of women.  Taking a sensitive approach to this art of photography and using the natural form of light to define and enhance the essence of the female body I will create images that reflect your style, make you feel feminine, sexy and confident.

If you are interested in this type of photography, start collecting your outfits so that you will be ready for when I post the launch of my Boudoir Photography.

 Meet our halloween costume contestants of 2011. 

 Even with a Nor'easter outside our doors we still managed to fill our food

 baskets for the Local Food Pantry and all of our little spooks enjoyed getting into the character of their halloween costume and posing for the camera.

Well, I have just completed teaching the first photography workshop at my studio. THE CREATIVE ART OF PHOTOGAPHY - For Creative People Who Are Not Necesarily Technical! It was a huge success and many who never ventured off of the Auto Mode of their cameras have discovered a whole new world of photography. I know that all the function buttons on the camera look very foreign and inhibit users to give up the SAFE/ AUTO mode to venture down an unknown path. But together the class learned about each camera function and took cotrol of their image making so they can now be picture makers instead of picture takers! In four weeks the camera became a tool to create photographs. It was a great leaning experience sharing the images that each person created from the Creative Projects. I hope all continue to use the knowledge they attained and let their imagination be the inspiration for their photography. The next workshop will be held in January so that anyone receiving a camera as a holiday gift can immediately get the knowledge they need to use their camera as a tool.
