I have finally settled on session pricing for 2009. I decided to lower the session fee for my lifestyle portrait sessions, but bump up prices on prints. Check out the info over here [link]. Lots of hot mamas, cute kids, and families in all their quirkiness. Send your friends over there!

The most important thing she’d learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.

I really love the pictures that you have taken of our family.
They are some of my most prized possessions.

So, some of you know that in the next few months I am debuting my official child and family portrait business based out of my new studio location in Lowell, Massachusetts. Watch this blog for casting call opportunities for specific timeslots I will want to photograph your child… and for the unveiling of the still-TBD name and separate blog for this business.

In the meantime I am putting out the holler to hipster families specifically located in our new hometown of Lowell, MA. I’m looking for a muse! Here’s the kind of collaboration I am looking for… check out this amazing video/photo montage by one of my photographer crushes, Austin-based Sarah Q.

So, for those of you who know people who know people… send them this way! rachel@mergeweddings.com

I had a fun and funny time in Honolulu with my new buddies Emma and Noah. We did a casual photo session to help build up their comp cards, and also did a few family shots. Check these out!

Check out this shot when I told everyone to make squishy faces… Noah looks unimpressed.
