Babies' first Christmas

Some brand spanking new babies from age 5 days to 6 months met Santa Claus last weekend. Judy had convinced Santa to stop by her house and pose with the little ones. Moms, dads, aunties and siblings had great fun telling Santa their wishes for this year's Christmas and smiling for the camera.
The older kids were not quiet convinced that that big old fellow with the huge beard was friendly, but some could be talked into sitting on his lab. At the end of the day it was a matter of getting that toy train on the 25th or not.
There were even some quiet mommy-baby moments to be had.
Enjoy the slide show of Santa and his little friends below.

Congratulations Kelly & Mike

We hope you had a wonderful honeymoon. (I'm sorry you had to come back to November-New-England.)

While we are still editing the over 2,000 photos we took at your wedding in beautiful South Casco, Maine, we would like to give you a quick early glimpse at some of them in the little slide show below ... to help pass time.

We're going to a Trade Show

Yeah! Judy and Silke are going to a "Trade Show" with our portraiture photography. Actually it's a private Craft / Boutique Show - organized by Soni Masur - where local artists show and sell their stuff. (... and great stuff it is)
Last April my artist friend Jesa invited me to stop by. I did. (see April blog) ... and I took some pictures of the event. A few weeks ago Soni asked if we wanted to participate in the "Trade Secrets" part of her upcoming holiday event.

We are among the "Trade Secrets " women Soni refers to in her Newsletter, who will be at the show only Thursday Night!! We are two of the "local entrepreneur women you must know about!!!"

We are so excited about this.
So come by to say hello and check out all the other wonderful stuff ...

Lina & Lukas

I saw Lukas again and met Lina for the first time last week. What a delightful encounter. I am very happy with the portraits I took (... so are the proud parents by the way) and I can wait to go back to document their next steps ... in about a year or so. Check out some of the portraits in the slide show below ...



I have already started on the book. I have a feeling that this will turn into an annual event that will capture the development of the two in a very unique way: One book each year. What a wonderful way to for a family to document their history.

Studio Week

Last week was "Studio Week". I went twice with two great couples. We had a ball each time,and even though we spent a good 2 hours in there each time, time flew by and none of use noticed how late it was when we started breaking everything down.

Check out both albums below ...
