M Family

A super fun family to work with. This little guy (now going into 2nd grade - ALREADY) was actually in my kindergarten class last year...(sigh) my last class before leaving teaching to stay home with my own little one. His Mom keeps telling me, "Just wait. It only goes faster once your own get into school."

We went to Elizabeth Park in Hartford for this shoot. The rose garden was in bloom, and it is the very same place the Mom and Dad went to have portraits down when they got married.
Possibly the cutest part about this family was the way the older sister just adored the little brother. Too too cute.

Fantastic Max!

My very own nephew - a whopping 6 months old already. I can't believe it. He is getting quite good at sitting up, and was very interested in my camera. His hair is actually starting to curl - so cute! His Daddy is in a bit of denial and says that it curls becasue his mommy (my big sis) gets it wet and tries to make it curly. I don't know Daddy...looks pretty curly to me.

Can you believe this look he gave his mom?

Ahhh...it starts so young.

She's here!

Meet Kate - just 10 days old here (the baby from the previous maternity shoot). Her big sister Olivia lovingly calls here "Baby Kate" and was happy to join in on some pics. At one point I asked Olivia, "Can you kiss Baby Kate and tell her 'you're so cute'?" Olivia nodded, kissed Kate and gleefully said, "Baby Kate, I'm so cute!" Precious.

And look at this gorgeous wrap and hat I bought from Julie Oliver: http://www.yourphotosbyjo.com/blog/products-page

Please visit if you are interested in purchasing - and tell her Anita Bage sent you. If I send 5 referrals then I get a free wrap - YAY! There are so many colors and styles I have my eye on.

6 months old!

Look at Mr.M - already 6 months old! He was a pure delight to work with this time around - so super smiley and jolly! Don't you just want to pinch those little cheekies??!!!

I've got a whole bunch of sessions coming up - so be on the look out for new work soon.

Where've you been?

I have been editing away and perfecting my "official" web site www.anitabage.com

I confess. I have also been spending a lot of time outside with the little guy. Not that he gives me much choice...he stands at the door desperately signing "outside" and yelling "ow-sigh!" The weather has been gorgeous here in western MA!

I recently donated a photography package to the auction at Suffield Academy www.suffieldacademy.org. Bidding is open to the public on-line. The least I could do for my Alma mater! After all, it IS where I got my photography start!

It's a sister thang!

Such a beautiful pregnant belly! And this little one was SO EXCITED about having a little sister. Made me wonder if my big sister was this happy when I was on my way. It also brought back so many good memories of sisterhood. These two little girls have so much fun and love in store! (And Mom booked me to come back for newborn photos so be on the look out...some time at the end of May!)

Newborn Girl!
