I find kids really need to take a break during photo sessions. To jump and be funny for the camera. I love these break photos. It is the most natural and fun expressions I get.

I know spring is in the air because I’ve been photographing babies.  I had two newborn home shoots in the past week. One thing I love shooting during a  home session the nursery.   We don’t realize how much effort went in to it until a few years later when crayon is on the wall, milk has stained the rug, and  clothes and toys have taken over. I love photographing the details that we might forget in time.

It was so great to see the Smith Hill St. Patrick’s day Parade.  It is a true sign that spring is coming.

Last Sunday PPU photographed a Mother’s Day promotional image.  Can anyone guess who the models are?

One of my favorite families came in this week. I love this angle of Daddy’s little girl.

Providencepinup.com is also proud to donate the styling services for Frame 312, a political thriller, at the Attleboro Community Theater

This  was a very busy week.

Providencepinup.com’s Jason Andrade was voted one of Providence Monthly’s most eligible bachelor.  Lulu, Ivan, and I went to support him at the PM Party at the Hotel Providence.

It was great to see Everything Events coordinating the speed dating. We had a lot of laughs.

H2F is a pin-up/rockabilly boutique in Pawtucket, RI.   On the 13th they had an event with bands in their building.  I have not had photographed music in so long – it brought back a lot of memories.

If you would like to view more photos from these events they are in the Public Gallery on the client page of my site.

Oh Baby! This weekend was about maternity shoots. It’s very close to my heart because these sessions really reminded me of being pregnant with Oskar in the winter of 2005.

I love the excitement of new life and spring.

G. had come in for head shots this week.

On Friday Providencepinup.com and KHP were vendors at The everything events 2009 showcase. http://everythingeventsco.com

We set up a small photo area and took funny photos.

There was a performance from JMKennedy Studios.

We had a Providencepinup workshop that was great. Tried out some new ideas.

Due to the snow we opened up two more Valentines Day workshops on February 1st and 3rd.

Check out my new video from Fresh Focus Productions. “Thank you Michelle!”

I just wanted to share Ella’s 1st birthday with everyone.   She loved her cake and  had a great time.

Last weekend KHP and Providencepinup.com was at The Southern New England Bridal Expo at the Rhode Island Convention Center. We met a lot of great vendors and saw some old friends.

Our next wedding show will be at:

WATERPLACE (The old Bella Vista)
One Finance Way

I have been very busy over the past two months and have not had a chance to write.  So during the snow this weekend I’ve been busy fixing up my site and finally have a few minutes to write here.

I wanted to take a moment to thank all my clients for your support.  This year was hectic with my growing family.  2008 was a year of juggling – as some of you have probably heard the baby and the 3yr old in the background as I answered your questions on the phone.

So, I want to say Happy Holidays and Thank You for helping to make this a great year!

Here are some photos of what I have been working on lately.

“Santa in the Studio” was great.  He will definitely be back next year for a visit.

Providencepinup.com has been very successful so far. Here is a shot from our holiday session.

Of course, Family and Newborn sessions are also personal favorites.

I have been doing many headshots, lately as well. I now offer a full hair and makeup session in addition to the standard photo shoot.

There are many great things coming in 2009, so please keep chekcing out my site and keep in touch.

Happy New Year!
