A newborn baby — what could be better! Each and every time, I am awaiting the arrival of a newborn, I get so excited. You would think, I was “expecting” the baby! I just love babies and expecially being able to photograph them. I can’t help but think of when my boys were newborns and it really does seem like yesterday. I think anyone over the age of 30 realizes how quickly time passes and anyone with children absolutely understand how quickly time moves. Before you know it babies are going to school! Then off to college and if I think beyond that, my heart will break! lol Here’s a recent newborn shoot I did and Baby P is only seven days old! Unlike most newborns, this little guy didn’t want to sleep — for most of the session he was wide awake! Isn’t he handsome?

Aren’t they little darlings? They are so adorable and were great for this session. It was a gorgeous night, and the light was perfect. Sessions like this just reinforce how much I love what I do. I had just spent the day at the beach with my own family and made it home just in time to have more fun with these little girls. What could be better? I think they had fun too! Here’s a glimpse into their session — Caution cuteness alert!

While I hope the weather proves me wrong, I am not sure how many gorgeous nights for the beach there will be before we transtion to fall sessions. If you or your family are interested in a beach session, contact me now to reserve your session. Just think, book a beach session now and your Christmas cards could be all set before the summer is gone!

Who says senior portraits have to just be a headshot with a blue/gray background? Senior sessions couldn’t be further from that with Amy Kelly Photography! Senior sessions should be fun and reflect his/her personality. This session was fantastic, as was the senior! She had so much enthusiasm for the shoot, which made my job quite easy. I love how we found this spot too. If you know someone who is interested in a not so typical high school senior session, have them contact Amy Kelly Photography — amykellyphotography@gmail.com They won’t be disappointed!

This handsome little guy is certainly no stranger to my blog! In his short twelve months of life, he’s made it to my blog and fb page several times. Isn’t he handsome and quite adorable too? I had so much fun photographing him on his birthday — he surely “worked” the camera. I love his silly expressions and smiles! I think he might even be quite the athlete one day — look at one of the pictures below where he is sporting a sideways one handed plank! ha ha ha Here’s a glimpse of his session below! You will see his back yard is quite pretty too!

I haven’t added a blog post in what seems like forever! That does not, mean I haven’t had anything to add — actually it’s quite the contrary! I have been so busy with shooting portrait sessions and events that I have greatly neglected my blog. I love taking pictures, meeting new people, being creative, and editing, however resizing pictures and uploading them to my blog is tedious and something I do not enjoy! Though I do love looking at picture on my blog once they are up. Unfortunately fb makes it easy to upload a few images at a time, to showcase a session, however fb also does not display the images as nicely as they really are. With that being said, I am going to backtrack and my subsequent posts might be in no particuliar order, but I do want you to see some of what I have been up to over the course of this summer. Some things have been private events (there have been several) and in those cases, I’ll keep them private even though they have have been fun and yielded some awesome images. In other cases, with the permission of my clients, I will post previews of their session here!

With out further adieu, here is a wonderful session from last night! I am proud to say this is the fourth year in a row I have photographed this beautiful family. One of my favorite things when photographing families and children is getting right on the level of the children while capturing doing what they do best — that is being kids! Last night was no exception. While they sat for some pictures, they also ran around and had fun — the way it should be. As you will see, the light and the setting was fantastic! Here goes….
