Boutique Frames; The Organic Bloom| Monroe, Woodsville, Littleton, NH, Saint Johnsbury, WellsRiver, Northeast Kingdom VT Custom Photographer

September 4, 2011

I knew the Custom Frame to display my newest portrait in my new living room would be something from The Organic Bloom. I knew I wanted something different from everything else I saw in the general market, and The Organic Bloom’s custom frames are just so gorgeous and unique. You can make it your own with custom colors and a design that works with any decor. I ordered mine to incorporate the colors of my new living room and would work with any portraits if I choose to change them out from year to year. Like a piece of furniture, it was an investment. It’s timesless and no matter if I change up my styles and colors, it will remain a constant fixture. Each of my Fall Family clients will have a chance to win an 8×10 frame with their choice of style and colors from The Organic Bloom and a portrait print from their session. Around The Bend Photography is proud to be a Full Service, Custom Boutique Studio.

Pictured is a Twin Stack Frame in two different colors and a glaze added to the inside frame, custom made for a 16×24 portrait. As you can see the over-all dementions are larger, which is one of the components that makes these frames so amazing. Each mounted print 11×14 and larger from Around The Bend Photography is beautifully textured and sprayed for protection.

Dylan traveled from a few towns south of Littleton, NH to see me. He originally went to school at Hazen Union in Hardwick, VT. I was thrilled when his Mom called to ask me to photograph his Senior Portraits. He aspires to work in the Law Inforcement field and plans on attending Champlain College in Burlington, VT when he graduates. He is an athlete and practices martial arts. I won’t try and spell the exact art, but it’s impressive. ;) He is a bit shy, but we had a fantastic session. When his Mom came to view his photos, it was confirmed. Thanks Dylan, thank you Robin..enjoy! :)

Perfect weather, gorgeous girl…love my job! Ashley makes my job seem easy at times. We have this way of communicating. I barely finish my directions and she is already in place. She knows exactly what I am looking for as an artist and photographer. Anyone who has had a session from me gets instructed at the very beginning I tend to be super chatty. I have so many thoughts going through my mind about the session from beginning to end that I like to think out loud..a lot. I have been told it helps my clients relax, as ackward silences are never a good thing. lol. I was able to use my new, bigger studio and backdrops, one custom handpainted by an amazing artist. The lighting outside was to-die-for. Seriously gorgeous! Thanks for looking! :)

Oh, 2012 Seniors.. Now booking into July! $50 session with unlimited image choices when ordering your portraits. Senior Portraits are really important as they mark one of the most important times in your lives. Make sure your portraits are something that will last a life time and photographed by a professional. Do your research, educate yourselves. As much as Aunt Mary loves to use her camera, and her intentions are good, she is just taking a snapshot. Lighting, posing, processing and hundreds of other things that go into a portrait are what professional photographers can provide. If you are going to a “professional” make sure they KNOW their stuff…editing can’t undo critical lighting errors and unflattering composition. sam@aroundthebendphotography.com Visit my exclusive Senior Site Here

Still trying to blog when I can. I am going back and fouth between homes now. Hoping there is a light at the end of our moving tunnel. lol. Sessions are still happening, newborns coming up and HS Senior sessions. I am already booking fall sessions, very excited people are thinking ahead. I am currently booked until the week of June 17th. It can take planning, but thinking ahead and booking early will guarantee dates and times for everyone. Since sessions are limited each week, I feel bad when I have to tell people dates they inquire about are taken. Please make sure to plan accordingly. I am adding amazing backdrops to my collection. I have one currently on it’s way I have waited 5 months for, handpainted by the very talented Becky Gregory. She often has a waiting list and I am sure it will be well worth the wait and investment.

From my busy April, this beautiful girl has the most stunning blue eyes. Thanks J Family! :)

It’s been the most amazing last few weeks for my studio as I welcome new and past clients. The most mini-sessions I have ever scheduled and I couldn’t have been happier to see such beautiful kiddos. Moms really did a wonderful job dressing them for the occasion. I am always happy to help coordinate clothing and give suggestions…and Moms really went all out! Of course for the little girls, I can’t help but add my own touches to a few portraits. Being a mom of 3 girls myself, you could say I am a bit addicted to accessories and all things girly. ;) The girls weren’t the only ones to shine though, boys bring a presence all on their own and really do melt my heart. I will be sharing more from my sessions over the next few weeks.

Mini-Sessions at Around The Bend Photography are only done a few times a yr. Usually in the Spring and Fall. The Spring Sessions are reserved for the kiddos and Fall includes families too. I know it’s only May, but keep an eye out for my Fall sessions, usually anounced in August. I am slowly transitioning over to a new, bigger studio in Monroe, NH. The town is also so beautiful and places to photograph are everywhere!
