In Between

It's that strange time of year when it's "in between" seasons, even though fall has officially begun. You know, the time of year when you're freezing in your sweater in the morning and sweating in your t-shirt by the afternoon. This little in between time is a pretty neat time for portraits though because you can really get two looks in one. Yesterday I met little Miss Peyton at Tanglewood for her one year photos. I had not seen her since her last session when she was three weeks old and as you might expect she had grown a lot! Watching returning clients grow is one of my favorite parts of my job. We started her session at the arboretum at Tanglewood where there are still a few flowers blooming. By putting her in the white sleeveless outfit we were able to get a more "summery" look for Peyton.



Then a change of clothes and a trip to another area of the park and, voila, it's starting to look more like fall.


Can you see her pink toe nails in this shot?


Doesn't she have the prettiest blue eyes!


We even tried to accentuate the fall look by having Peyton hold a little pumpkin. As you can see she ditched it for a piece of mulch. Mmmmmm....mulch--about two seconds after this shot it went straight to her mouth. :)


Speaking of "in between," my business in kind of at an in between stage right now. I have been doing this (and loving it!) for over two years now. Recently things have REALLY started to take off and I am enjoying meeting and photographing so many new people. After the busy holiday season, I will spend a lot of time in December and January evaluating the business and getting ready for a great new year full of new things for UpperCase Photography. As I prepare for that reevaluating time period, I would like to have your help. I am going to ask a couple of simple questions and would like for you to email me your response to them. I value the input of all the blog readers so EVERYONE please take a moment to email me. To help entice you, I will make it worth your while. Everyone who emails me (just hit reply to the email that notified you of the blog post) and answers the following questions will be entered in a drawing to win a free 5x5 album with 10 images from your next session. I plan to be offering these little albums to all clients in the coming year as they are perfect for grandparent gifts or carrying around as a brag book. So if you win, you'll be one of the first people to have one! Here is a photo of how adorable the album looks (there are a variety of cover options not just this one):


Cute, huh? So to be entered to win just email me your answers to the following questions:

1. Do you prefer printed proofs or online proofs?

2. What is your favorite UpperCase product?

3. What would you like to see offered at UpperCase that is not currently available?

See, now that won't be too hard. It's just three questions and I would really appreciate YOUR input! Feel free to let me know any other thoughts or suggestions you have as well. I will notify you of the winner of the fabulous album on the blog soon.

Thank you!!
