portraits : year in review

Looking back at all of the portrait sessions I’ve shot this year, I can’t help but think about all of the people I’ve worked with and met.  So many amazing and talented people that I really am privileged to photograph. Each session has been unique and since currently my focus is in wedding photography portrait sessions tend to work in to my schedule when I’m available – and in town, which means that these sessions have happened throughout the same states I visited for weddings. I love doing them, and actually I feel like there aren’t nearly enough babies represented. There must be something in the water – or maybe I’m just around that age  – but I can name quite a few people (although I won’t on the blog) who are or soon will be pregnant ;) … so I hope that means more gorgeous newborns in my future. Please contact me and let’s talk! (ps. if you received or were referred by someone who received the holiday offer contact me by jan 15 to take advantage of it – you can plan ahead).

Well I enjoy this collection of portraits 2009 – and I would recommend listening to something fun while you’re at it… although I couldn’t decide on what to recommend for you. I’ll leave it up to your music library.

To finish it off, let’s look at where I started – at Meg’s request. This really was my first baby session ever  and it happened in 2007. I was getting started in the business and had the opportunity to photograph her super cute nephew, Andrew. I need to photograph him again I think, which would mean a trip out to Montana… so when should I come out? :)

Dana Benedict - Mary – you’re so talented and I am so in love with your work!! I’ve been a follower of your blog for some time now and I thought it was about time I commented! I am so excited you’re doing Dawn and Dave’s wedding – I wish Aaron and I could get re-married and hire you! ;-) We’d love to have you take pics of our kiddos sometime – are you ever in the Pittsburgh area? We just moved back east from Colorado for Aaron’s job. Keep up the great work and I’ll see ya in DC on March 13th! ;-)

meg - oh i love this. and the answer is: as soon as possible! i feel like there were actually quite a lot of children pictures–but a nice variety of adults on down. maybe there are more babies that i don’t know about, who you’d like to shoot. but i like them all. nice review from engagement to authors and so on. and the last one of julia is priceless :) yes, if you’re looking to add the 2 year old blond bombshell to your portfolio, come on out here asap!!
