Megan Modic

It's been a really busy summer either because of or despite the rain. Megan just returned home from Girls Nation in Washington DC where according to facebook post, she was the Nationalist Party Chairman! Go Megan! I am proud of you,

Nancy (not Pelosi)

Unfortunately, I was unable to go along and photograph the excursion so this is Megan's image from facebook!

YO NANCY!

Happy July. We are finally seeing some sunshine here after the rainiest June in my memory. I managed to get a few outdoor shoots in and a couple of indoor ones that didn't depend on the weather. I got to photograph a new arrival, Laura Tavares, who is a beautiful addition to Claudia and Michael's family. She was christened last week on a beautiful and sunny Sunday. She was a pleasure to photograph and a even had a smile! I have a busy schedule ahead--I am going on an engagement shoot tonight at Nobska light and still have several families left to photograph from the PTA fundraiser. Everyone had to be moved around cause of the rain. Also, I am starting to get busy with high school seniors and weddings. I am having a blast and things are going much better than I expected with this economy. Best of all, I am meeting some really nice people.

June 2009

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY ...at least 'til I get my outdoor photoshoots done! I have had a very busy month and now July will be really busy as well. I am trying to complete a very successful Bourne PTA Family Beach Shoot fundraiser but the weather has not been cooperating. It is a good thing I travelled to Florida earlier in the month or I don't think I'd have seen the sun at all. (Just like everyone else). I am trying to keep an optimistic outlook but it is getting harder and harder to do when almost every morning the sky is gray and gloomy. I shot my first wedding of the season and did my first upcoming seniors and several Bourne families.

      I also found a couple of shoots I can do despite the rain. Past clients of mine, Jack and Alex are going to pose in the rain in their brand new rain outfits, jackets boots and hats. I am going to enter these into a professional photographers' competition. I am planning on an awesome shoot!  I am doing 4 week old Laura Tavares today--indoors. I was able to get images of her (in utero) as I did her parents images a few weeks ago. I can't wait to meet her! I bet she is beautiful. Next, I am doing an in home photo shoot of a large family of a former colleague, DD, in her lovely home. At least there will be no cancellations due to the rain! 

    My HS senior reps for this year are marvelous. Congratulations to all three young women, Megan Modic, Bethany Ashworth and (my own) Rebecca Faria who attended the Girls' State conference at Westfield State College last week. Megan was then chosen to attend Girls' Nation in DC and meet Barrack Obama! Way to go Megan!!!! In closing, keep your chin up, the rain will end sometime and now is a good time to complete all those indoor projects.

I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I last posted a blog update. Sorry if anyone was anxiously awaiting my next post. I let time slip away! On Sunday, it will be Mother's Day. I have been very busy at the studio and I went on vacation with my family so I am bit behind! This month, I have taken commercial photos for The Belfry Inne and Bistro on Jarves Street in Sandwich, MA, some beautiful and fun 1st Communion Photos, Lauren's 3 month photos (already?) along with a casual shoot for the Mother's Day tea at the Bourne Library. I also booked two weddings and a family reunion. I'm learning to wear all the hats in my small business but it has certainly been a transition from working in medicine for 25 years and working for someone else. I am enjoying all the hard work and the sanctity of my cozy little studio just Main Street in Falmouth. I can adjust my appointments around my kids schedule of LAX and track and work at home if I need to. Our contractors have left, our beautiful new dormer is done and i don't have to worry about moving my car out the garage before 8 am if I want to go anywhere without a hassle (like to work)! Here are some recent photos. 

Easter Shoot

Mr. Buttons was a smash hit at his studio debut! Despite a couple of sleepless nights wondering how my sister's rabbit Mr. Buttons would fare in the Easter Special portraits, he was marvelous. 

He was handled by two year olds and kissed by by four year olds and he never flinched or ran away. I'm posting a couple of shots from the sessions-- we had a lot of fun and Mr. Buttons wants to make a return trip next year! Hope to see you then,

Nancy
