If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been…my busy season, and my growing belly have consumed me!  We’ve had a great Spring & Summer so far, and I’ve been working hard on getting all those images looking beautiful.  In the meantime, I have progressed into my third trimester and am working on slowing things down a bit in anticipation of our newest addition.  Please contact me a.s.a.p. if you are interested in a portrait session over the summer.  I am now in the works of finalizing all summer sessions on the calendar so I can better plan for the babies arrival!  Here’s a few sneak peeks for now:

Love…

Marriage…

And Kids!  

I just ADORE this image.  It oozes sisterhood to me…and would look amazing as a wall canvas.  The black and white version is stunning too and I couldn’t decide which one I liked better, so I’m posting both! What do you think?

 More updates to come soon!

I had a great time photographing these two! So much personality and spontaneous humor (or was it the sillies?) came out by the end of the session. I love the series of four pictures with the them interacting…very fun and expressive!

Here’s just a couple more of this sweet child. I love late afternoon sessions, as we get a small window of time to really have fun with the sun. I was just experimenting with the editing here, and trying out some new techniques.

Such a sweet and beautiful spirit…her eyes are so soulful.

I borrowed this clip from my sweet friend Lee in Australia. It’s soooo funny, it had my husband and I in stiches! I just had to share it with all of you.

Also, lot’s of new stuff….I’ll be posting more photos to share soon!

Just a quick image from our friends wedding last night at the Moshulu! It was our first time there and we loved being on the waterfront, and what an awesome view of the Ben Franklin as well as the city at sunset. We just adore these two, and were so happy to be able to share in their celebration. I especially ESPECIALLY enjoyed the chocolate fountain…and lucky me, I’m eating for two!

You may not know that for many years I was a wedding photographer…and I hung up my medium format camera to learn digital and dive into the realm of childhood portraiture. I still get contacted on occasion to photograph weddings, and I have to say that I’m really enjoying working with adults again. These guys are just salt of the earth people. They have such gentle, fun and vibrant spirits…and their interactions are so loving and sweet. Their wedding is coming up in just a couple of weeks…and if these engagement photos are any indication of their intense and beautiful connection, their wedding photos will be gorgeous.

Even as I captured the first image, she reminded me of Frida Kahlo…does anyone else see it?

I’ll be taking on a limited number of wedding clients again and will be offering a special rate to the first three couples that book their 2008 wedding with Bamboo Photography.  Please spread the word, but keep in mind I’ll be out on maternity leave in September and October.

While I love nature, and all the beauty and freshness of it…I also want to take advantage of the amazing character, architecture, and culture of life in the city. Some of you have heard me suggest Urban or Metro Style Sessions, so I wanted to give you all a clue into what the heck I’ve been talking about! These sessions are so fun, hip, and spontaneous! You may remember this little guy from our Best of 2007 Contest. Well, he’s back and with some serious cuteness!  See?

I’d love to know what people think about these sessions.  Love it…Not so much?  Please leave a comment below and share your thoughts. If there’s enough interest we may offer limited Metro Style Mini Sessions during the summer. If you’re interested in learning more, be sure to sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of the page.
