Baby Dean

I knew when I saw the mom's warm, welcoming smile that I was going to like this family! Mom and Dad are both so open and friendly and were patient and loving with each other and the baby. It was very sweet to see. They let me stay for a long visit in their comfortable home while we waited for little Dean to fall asleep for some curled up sleeping baby shots. He only slept for a few short moments. He didn't want to miss any of the action!

Lexie-Ann!

It's amazing how much kids change after just two months. Maybe I have said this before, but Lexie-Ann seems like such a big girl now! Look how much fun she had today!

Nicholas - 6 Months

Yesterday I saw little Nicholas again. He was cute as a newborn and cuter at three months and just look at him now!

Thanks!

I just want to thank all of you for the wonderful e-mails and comments about my new website, and also for letting me know when you find typos (they happen to the best of us)! :)

I also want to share an e-mail that I got tonight from a really sweet client of mine. It's so dramatic that it totally made me laugh.

"I almost died when I went on your website -- it looks FANTASTIC!!! I am SO happy my little guy is on it :)"

Isn't that cute?! People make me so happy!

Here's a picture of one of my favorite regulars. I'm looking forward to seeing Lexie-Ann this weekend!

More mini sessions coming soon!

I had such a great time with Avery, Corey, Emma and Brielle last week that I've decided to do a day of five mini sessions next month! These will be 20 minute portrait sessions with 7 individually processed proofs to choose from. Included will be one 8x10 and two 5x7 prints, along with a couple special discounts and add-ons!

LOCATION: Wyckoff, NJ
PRICE: $110

E-mail me (maegandougherty@gmail.com) to book!

Additional mini session dates coming soon: October in New Jersey and (possibly) Kalispell, Montana in September! E-mail me to be added to the waiting list!

Brielle

This is Brielle. Her favorite color is orange and her favorite shape is a triangle!

In some of these pictures, I think she looks so grown up and in some she looks like like sweet little 3 1/2 year old that she is!











This is my FAVORITE!!!



I'm hoping that next time I see Brielle, I will get to meet Princess, her new PINK puppy!

Emma

Another super cute mini session model! Little Emma was so totally adorable, walking her wobbly little walk all around the park, sporting her little pigtails. :)

Corey

My second mini shoot model was Corey, who napped in the car on the way. He woke up a little bit cranky and extremely shy, but some talk about what sound helicopters make and what's in his mom's pregnant belly got him laughing. They don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, but Corey thinks he's going to have a new brother named Hannah. :)



If I have a contest this year for prettiest eyes, this little guy will definitely be a finalist!











See where he got his eyes (and I guess some of his facial expressions, too!)?

Avery

Avery was my first model for Thursday's mini sessions. The interaction between her mom and her was so sweet that I made the two of them the subjects of my blog header and ordered a sample storyboard!

Here are a few more of Avery. Such a cutie!

Free Mini Sessions THIS THURSDAY!

I am working on my new website this week and I would love to have some brand new faces for it! I have decided to do 4 mini portrait sessions this week. I will pick 4 lucky children as the winners of a 20 minute mini session and a free 8x10. Following are the guidelines. If they work for you, please send me an e-mail with a picture of your child. It doesn't have to be a professional picture. Any cute shot will do!

1. These sessions are not for current clients. If you are a client, that means I already have pictures of your adorable child, so please forward this to your friends. They will love you for it!

2. You must be available THIS Thursday, July 10th, between 4 and 6 pm, for a session in Wyckoff, NJ.

3. You must be willing to sign a model release.

I will be picking the winners tomorrow night, so get your e-mails in to me by noon tomorrow!
