Ringlets and Roses: Baby Rose at Eight Months

Marie — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:03:56 +0000

Sweet darling Rose is now eight months old. As the inaugural participant in the Zemler Wu Photography Baby program, she’s now on her third portrait session with me. Take a look back in the archives; if you had any doubt how much babies change in the first year, Rose can set your mind straight. Most stunningly, she’s grown a beautiful head of light colored curls since her last session! Also check out her sitting, crawling, and two front teeth! Of course, with a name like Rose–our first stop was a South End rose garden. We also needed to capture some of Rose’s lovely rolls of baby fat–so a few of au naturel (okay, with bloomers on–don’t you love the hot pink ruffles and polka dots?!)! And, we couldn’t help but feature Rose’s baby blues–she’s just a stunning little girl, isn’t she?! And although she can’t talk yet, Rose’s charming personality already shines through–check out a few of my favorite images from her session, and I think you’ll agree!

P.S. Rose’s friends and family can find her full session here!

Eli and Jacob: Sea, Sand, and Sunshine

This is my second time to photograph the handsome Eli, age three months, and big brother Jacob, not quite two. They are participating in the Zemler Wu Photography Baby Program, so it will be my distinct pleasure to have two more sessions with them as well (I just love it when I get the chance to stick with a family for a whole year and watch the little ones change and grow).

Their gorgeous family recently moved to Massachusetts and after the winter in temporary housing, they are happily settling in Duxbury. A fantastic reason to head to Duxbury Beach for their session! We had a perfect summery morning to play on the dunes, dig in the sand, and explore the territory. As those who have been out on a session with me know, I’m always on the look out for unique architecture and textures to layer with the people in my portraits. Duxbury Beach was an absolute treasure on that front and I can’t wait to recommend the spot for future clients, too.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite images from my morning with Eli, Jacob, and their parents. More to come as the year continues…

Family and friends of Eli and Jacob, please follow this link to access their online ordering gallery and see additional images from the session…

Firsts! New Year, New Blog, New Baby Program…

Marie — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:09:49 +0000

Welcome! With the start of the Chinese New Year, my long-standing resolution to blog is officially a reality. Grand plans are in the works for this space! Of course, lots of personal photos–especially with Didi (our soon-to-arrive son, whose Chinese nickname of “Little Brother” is so firmly affixed he may never know his given name) joining the family. You can also watch for beautiful weddings, adorable kids, and sweet newborns. And, occasionally, some fun details (products, promotions, etc.) about the business, too!

It’s my pleasure to have three-month-old Rose grace the first entry. She’s a special baby in so many ways–the first daughter of some dear friends, among the most beautiful little girls I’ve yet seen (check out her blue, blue eyes), and easily the most well-coiffed baby I’ve yet to photograph!

She’s also the inaugural member of my new Zemler Wu Photography Baby Program. This is already Rose’s second portrait session; the first was when she was just a newborn. We’ll continue photographing her when she’s six months and one year old. Already, the changes are so evident… I’ve also included some favorites from her earlier session below. The Baby Program offers a creative way to capture all the amazement the first year holds in store!

At the end, Rose and her family will complete the Baby Program with an heirloom album featuring images through the full year. And after each session, they have updated portraits to share with their friends and family. Plus, participants receive four private sessions and an album, at a price that would typically just cover the book! It’s an absolutely fantastic shower or new-baby gift–a treasure that will last much longer than the clothes and gear that are are so quickly outgrown. And it’s such a thrill for me as a photographer to truly be a witness to the lovely changes the baby and parents experience through the year. Please get in touch if you have (or know) a new baby who should join the club!
