That Golden Light

August 17, 2009

I recently took a trip up to Beverly for a session with this wonderful family. It was a combo family/kids/maternity session, and so much fun! Our session was during what us photographers like to refer to as “the magic hour”–as in, the hour or two just before sunset, when everything is covered in this honey colored evening light. I LOVE shooting during this time, and highly recommend it for all of my clients! The soft, diffused light at this time of day is something I like to take full advantage of–we have even less of it up here in New England, so I have to jump on it while I can!

(This post is a little pic heavy–I couldn’t stop processing these images, there were so many awesome ones to choose from!)

The “P” family is expecting baby #3 at the end of September, doesn’t mom look just radiant? I WISH I was this glowing when I was pregnant with Lila.

These two were so patient with me, and SO cute.

We let them run around a bit, which they loved.

I love everyone’s expressions in this next one–I love capturing moments like this! The kids were cheering because we told them this was the last one, and they could go run around some more.

Then mom and I went off for a little bit to capture these stunning shots. The next couple may look familiar to the photo in the blog header–I just couldn’t wait to put that up there. Here are a couple more from the same location.

I’ll end with my favorite shot. I don’t usually make things this artsy, but I couldn’t stop myself on this one. It may now be my new favorite photo.

Thank you guys for having me, I had such a fun time with you. I can’t wait to meet your newest addition in a few weeks!

A Little Flair

I just wanted to post a quick shot from a recent session. I love the sunflare in this! More from this family/maternity combo session will be blogged soon!

8 Days New

August 13, 2009

Some of you may remember this newborn session from a couple of weeks ago, if you are a fan of MJP on the Facebook page. Baby L was only 8 days old when I photographed her, and she was the sweetest little thing. She slept for most of our session, and barely made a peep!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day, including some never-before-seen shots!

Let’s Do This!

August 12, 2009

The Blog is here. Woohoo! Here goes nothing, world. I hope you’re ready for MeganJane Photography.

First things first, a quick overview of what you’ll find on my blog. I will be posting sneak peeks from sessions here for my clients. Clients, make sure you check in here a day or two after your session! I will also be posting ways to make the most from your custom photography session with me, and will even have some fun tips and tricks for taking better photos yourselves.

*The “website” button pretty much speaks for itself. Head over there if you’d like to check out my portfolio, or if we’ve had a recent session and you are looking for your gallery.
*The “connect” button is my favorite feature. Go here to find out what makes me tick, fan me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, sign up for an email subscription to the blog, or add me to your feed reader. Lots of ways to stay updated on the goings on here at the MJP blog – and where I just may be announcing upcoming exclusive session opportunities and contests!
*Use the “categories” button if you are looking for a specific type of session, such as maternity, newborn, family, or child photography.
*The archives button pretty much speaks for itself. Head here if you’re looking for a past post I’ve made.
*I will be adding some of my favorite links to that “links” button soon. Be sure to check back soon!
*You can use the “contact” button to shoot me an email anytime. I do my best to reply to all emails within 24 hours.
I think that about covers things for now. So, welcome, don’t forget to sign up/fan me/follow me, and stay tuned for some recent sessions that I just HAVE to blog about!

And because I can never end a post without at least ONE photo, here are a couple of recent images of our beautiful little girl, Lila. I’m not even going to attempt to tell you I won’t post too many photos of her on here, because I’d be lying. She’ll likely become a familiar face around here!

So I’m working with a wonderfully talented friend to get this blog up and running. I am going to start posting in the meantime, so please excuse the changes you see around here for now, it is going to be fabulously pretty around here soon.
