Fall Mini Sessions!

It’s time for Fall Mini Sessions!  I currently have two locations offered this year!

Scheduling is now open on the following dates:

• **SOLD OUT** October 8th - Bay Farm on Loring St at the Kingston/Duxbury Line - 6 Sessions Available starting at 4:00pm. Dogs are welcome at this location! **Sold Out!**
• October 22nd - Bourne Farm at 6 North Falmouth Hwy in North Falmouth - 5 Sessions Available starting at 3:40pm!
  **Only 2 Sessions Left!**

Booking and scheduling...
Session times will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. I will try my best to accommodate time requests. I understand you may have other commitments and of course, nap time!
The session fee is $75. A $25 non-refundable retainer is due at the time of booking. $50 is due the day of your session. Cash, check, or credit/debit are all accepted.

What to expect...
Sessions are 20 minutes long and are for immediate family only (parents/guardians and/or children). Clients are required to arrive and be ready for the camera at least 5 minutes before their session start time. I will provide props for seating, blankets, etc. If you wish to include anything special (sign, blanket), feel free! I will have reward goodies (lollipops, etc) for the kiddos in exchange for awesome listening ears and beautiful smiles! When the sessions are short, bribery works wonders on accomplishing great family photos quickly. 😉

After your session...
All of the edited images from your session will be posted to a private online gallery. You are welcome to share your gallery with family and friends. Digital images are available in packages of 5 or 10 and may be ordered through email. Prints and canvases may be ordered directly through your gallery. There will be an ordering period with FREE shipping where I will place one bulk order and deliver your order myself. After that period ends, orders will be placed to the lab as they come in and will be shipped directly to you for a shipping fee of $7.50.  All digital image and print orders will include minor retouching (skin softening, small blemishes, teeth whitening). Major retouching requests will be billed separately at $25 or more per file (depending on type of request).

Holiday Cards...
This year I will be offering Holiday Card ordering. After the sessions are completed, I will have different styles to select from. Pick your style, image and wording... I'll take care of the rest!

Products Available After Your Session…
Digital File Package - 5 for $95
Digital File Package - 10 for $175
Prints starting at $8.
Canvases starting at $75.
Full pricing list available upon request.

Baby Lucy

For Lucy's in-home newborn session, there were many assistants on hand!  Lucy was surrounded by her 3 very helpful older siblings. She was of course a perfect sleeper for us, only walking up a few times to take a peek and eat. Please enjoy a few photos from the sweet baby girl's session.

Paige + Maeve (and Molly too!)

These sweet girls were not having the sleepy, in-home newborn session we had planned for them!  When you have eyes as beautiful as these staring back at you through the lens, it's hard to be upset that what you envisioned, is not falling into place.  Big sister Molly was a wonderful assistant and even joined in on a few portraits with her new sisters. Please enjoy this sampling from Paige + Maeve's session.

Baby Scarlett + Family

Little Miss Scarlett was definitely the perfect gift for this family!  The only girl surrounded by her FIVE loving brothers! To say that Mom was excited to finally get her daughter would be an understatement.  In her short time in this world so far, Scarlett has been spoiled with everything girly.

Please enjoy these portraits from Scarlett's session!

Baby Jack

This sweet little guy wanted nothing to do with a sleepy session when I arrived.  After a feeding (and some welcomed snuggling), Jack was snoozing away while Mom and I ooohed over his precious face! He was such a trooper though all of our costume, hat, prop and location changes.

I hope you enjoy Baby Jack's newborn session!

Winter Portraits - Part 2

Immediately after the holidays can be a great time to get family together for a portrait session.  Especially when some of your family lives hundreds or thousands of miles away!

Enjoy these post-holiday portraits with extended family!

Winter Portraits - Part 1

I have been very thankful for fairly mid winter weather which has allowed for some great outdoor portrait sessions from holiday cards to extended family gatherings.

Now that the snow is melting as we seem to be getting a glimpse of spring temps, I hope to be back behind the lens again!

Part 1 features a little pre-holiday family love.

Coastal Family Portraits

This multi-generational portrait session was a wonderful gift for the grandparents of these simply adorable kids!  They selected a location that was new to me, with spectacular views and that warm fall afternoon sun.  I have to say my favorite is all of the kids surrounding their grandparents!

Fall Families Part 3

For my final 2016 Fall Portrait blog post, three amazing new-to-McCarthy Photography families on a perfect fall day at Bay Farm.  So many options at this great location!

Fall Family Portraits at The Farm

Each fall I am allowed access to a private farm on the South Shore for family portraits.  This year I was joined by two wonderful families on the farm.  Please enjoy the first installment from the Fall 2016 portrait sessions.

A Family Portrait Session with Lija

To celebrate Lija's first birthday, Mom and Dad decided to have a family portrait session at one of my favorite locations on the South Shore.  They arrived with supplies such as bubbles and a custom bench made by Dad, both of which made Lija very happy. I can't get over her sweet smile and adorable curiosity. Congrats to this loving family on making it through the first year!

Molly Kate: The 1st Birthday

Congrats to Mama & Daddy!  They survived the 1st year with Molly Kate! Although she has decided she no longer likes my camera, we were able to snag a few keepers on a warm Saturday morning at home. Mama slipped into her wedding shoes while MK wore pearls and pink, frilly bloomers. Keeping in theme with her birthday party, we also incorporated balloons for the hot air balloon look. 

A Family Portrait Session with Kendall & Avery

Kendall & Avery's parents had a great idea:  portraits at the beach.  Not just any beach, a spectacular beach on Cape Cod where they vacation each summer.  These portraits not only mark fun ages for their girls, but also memories from a favorite getaway.

A Family Portrait Session with Zooey & Maisy

I absolutely adore this family!  Super sweet and adorable kids, very cool parents.  We had a great time in the park talking about typical kid stuff like....boogers.  Enjoy this sampling from our portrait session in an unexpected location.

A Family Portrait Session with Molly Kate

Molly Kate and her parents joined me at a local park for an afternoon portrait session. I absolutely love how well her funny little personality came through in these portraits.
