Greetings, photography fans!

Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Carol, and I will be serving as Rachel’s assistant for the holiday season. I’m a native to Lowell, Massachusetts, a Bentley alum, and a freelance publicist.

When not chasing after my 10-month old son, Jeremy or buried inside a book, I can be found at operas, ballets, concerts, and art galleries supporting the local arts & culture scene in Boston.

There’s a reason I love to be around and photograph kids. They’re unbridled. Someone asked me yesterday about my favorite fall memory so far for 2009, and this moment from the October 12 mini-session came to mind. I was showing the girls how I wanted them to lay in the leaves for a photo, and then they spontaneously DOGPILED me. It was hilarious. (Many thanks to my assistant Amanda for taking my camera and grabbing a few frames of the action.)

Rachel will be doing outdoor family portraits until November 8. The New England fall foliage will soon be at its peak; take advantage of this beautiful scenery and get your family portraits done outside in natural light. Since our mini-sessions are outdoors, they are great for children of all ages.

Portraits aren’t limited to families! Colin, a NY-based engineer, used his session for headshots and they turned out great.

There are slots still available for our mini sessions on November 7 and 8. Sign up for your session now to take advantage of this great deal.

This website has some great suggestions for what to wear for a fall portrait session. I like having people wear tones in the same color palette, but not too matchy-matchy. Check it out!
