Client Closet Spotlight | Preteen | Londonderry Child Photography

When I began to focus on newborn photography, I made a large investment in my client closet for those littlest ones. As such, I have an extensive array of teeny tiny bonnets, headpieces, outfits and props all geared specifically to newborn sessions. Additionally, I now have outfits and props covering your family from newborn, through their sitting milestones, to their first year and beyond. In 2020, I’ve really concentrated on investing in the absolute best outfits for my client closet. If you need a princess gown for your maternity session, I’ve got you covered. If boho is more your speed, I’ve got many options in the client closet for that too!

But what about after the first couple of years? I have options for those ages too! I have a couple of vendors that I absolutely love for older kids and have invested in a number of options that are available for you to use during your photography sessions with me. Modeled here but the absolutely breathtaking Miss E. (who by the way reminds me of Eleanor Tomlinson who plays Demelza in Poldark) are two options for my preteen age group. This dress and the blouse and skirt are made with beautiful natural materials and are lovely and flowing for those carefree sessions.

Taking the guesswork out of what to wear for your photography session is just one way in which I make your experience stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable.

“What do we wear for our photos?” This is probably the most common question I receive as a photographer. As part of the luxury photography experience I offer, I advise each and every client on exactly what to wear so that the final results are spectacular. As an example, here is a recent toddler milestone session that I shot locally in Londonderry.

The vibe for this toddler milestone session was firmly “boho”. As a benefit for my clients, I have a number of outfits and accessories available for their use – taken straight from my studio wardrobe. This gorgeous toddler was so adorable in the early summer wildflowers that complemented the flowers on her dress so perfectly!

I have various places I like to purchase my client wardrobe items, one being Sunrise Baby & Co. The dresses featured in this session were custom-made especially for me, but they have so many gorgeous options available.

If you prefer to have your child wear something you purchased for their toddler session, that’s no problem at all! I consult closely with my client before their session takes place on color, style and where to buy your clothes. Additionally, I’ve been known to go “shopping” in your closet through your existing items to help you pull your look together. My clients often text me snaps of their outfits laid out to get my “seal of approval”! Some general guidelines are to choose neutral colors for a timeless look, no logos and no tiny patterns or thin stripes. My particular preference is to use vintage-feel outfits – linen is gorgeous for little boys and flowing dresses for little girls.

What about accessories? Well, for a toddler milestone session, I would advise keeping those simple. For the girls, a floral halo or headpiece. One of my favorite vendors for these is Lavender & Moss. You will often see her pillows and headpieces featured in my newborn sessions. For toddler boy milestone sessions, I have some gorgeous derby hats, newsboy hats and the cutest ties.

What about other props? Well, my philosophy is less is more, as you can see from these images. I will often incorporate something from the environment if this is an outdoor session – like a wildflower as you can see here. Additionally, I have the most amazing and perfect-sized wooden chair for the toddler milestone session. It not only makes them easy to pose, but it usually keeps them in one spot too!

I love to capture as many of your child’s expressions as possible during the session; they have such amazing personalities at this stage! Also, key to your toddler milestone session success is keeping it brief! At around age 2, you will not get their cooperation or patience for very long. I’ve learned to get those images quickly while avoiding any impending melt-down. I provide my clients with tips to ensure we get the best cooperation from my little clients as possible.

Not only this, providing something to distract the toddler’s attention during the session is essential. I can easily direct them to “look at your flower” or “kick the rock” to ensure we get natural expressions and interaction for your photos.

My goal is to make it easy to dress your toddler for their milestone session. Whether you choose to take advantage of clothing from my studio baby boutique or shop for yourself, you won’t feel alone in that process!

Hockey Lifestyle Photography Session | Londonderry NH Photographer

A large part of our family life is taken up by hockey. Hockey practices, hockey games, hockey scrimmages, and hockey equipment. My boys can’t get enough of it. If they’re not playing on the ice, they’re playing in our driveway. If the weather is too harsh for outside play, then they’re either watching it on TV or playing it on a video game. They collect hockey cards. Hockey is everywhere and we wouldn’t change a thing! Recently, my younger son and his Mite team took part in the Don Heyliger Memorial Tournament in Dover, NH. It was a weekend away for us and our fellow hockey families, and a chance for me to capture the event in a lifestyle photography session.
