My big 9 year old astronaut! Rhode Island Photographer

Well, hello there :)

Hope all is well!

Above is my big 9 year old right before his 9th birthday.

This year, for his birthday shoot, I did a space themed session- Fun!

Although, it was VERRRY cold!

But as for this blog, I know I have been a bit incognito on here.

I think I am actually in hibernation mode.

I feel like I am just dragging!

This winter has been a bit of a doosey, and its not even over yet {Sigh}

In fact, today was in the 20’s when I went for my walk, and its supposed to snow again tonight!

What the heck? I thought the groundhog saw his shadow!?

And isn’t it almost April?

Anyway, back to the story behind these photos…

As a natural light photographer who loves to photograph children outdoors,

I was determined to take my son’s annual birthday photos outdoors, despite the cold temps and snow.

He and I discussed ideas for his session and we came up with a space theme!

The landscape was perfect for that- I knew a place with rocks and snow.

This is such a fun age, & I love this guy so much.

He is sweet, sensitive & great friends with his little brother.

Speaking of that little brother…

For fun, here’s a little glimpse behind the scenes.

This is what happens when your assistant happens to be a crazy 4 yr. old
& also the little brother of your subject…

Never a dull moment, I tell ya!

The only problem with our vision for this session? – the vision included a rocket tent,

and his birthday was within the next couple of weeks!

I had no time to make a rocket,

and everything I found online was out of stock…

So how did I finally get my hands on that space rocket tent?

Well, during my extensive internet search, a blog came up up where a crafty mom had made her own!

I took a chance & emailed her, asking her if she would let me borrow it for a photo shoot.

Guess what?

She GAVE me hers!

This sweet mom & blogger, Sarah Finks, said it was not even being used,

and it would bring her happiness to give it a home where it will be loved- How sweet is that?

 I want to give a special thank you to Sarah Finks!

Who happens to have a great website!

Hopefully spring is on its way!
My birthday is actually the first day of spring,
so I am hoping the weather begins to warm up a bit!
We are headed for our very first trip to Washington DC!
We may be crazy, but we will be doing a family road trip,
should be an adventure!
Wish us luck!
