Valentine’s Day Mini Session Collage

One of the nice things about the Mini Sessions is that there are a lot of fun things you can do with the images.  You can hand out custom Valentine’s Day cards to family, friends and classmates.  You can have a custom calendar made to enjoy throughout the year. Or you could get a custom collage like the one below.  It’s super cute to hang in your child’s room or gift to Grandma & Grandpa! There are some appointment times still available. 978 758 2804  or email: steinhoff13@charter.net

Beauties at the Beach

I love these girls and I love Crane Beach in  Ipswich, MA.   Such a pleasure to photograph them on the beach and at the Great House where their parents were married.

I want to be with the girls…

This little man waited as long as he could until he just had to be in the photo with 3 of his favorite friends.  Not related, but certainly fits right into the family.  Photographing a beautiful family with a fantastic dad of 3 girls was a great way to celebrate father’s day in my mind! I’m one of 3 girls too and I wish my Dad a Happy Father’s Day!

Clothing/Color combination for Summer Family Portraits

Here’s a summer color pallete that looks great at the beach or in the green grass.  Cheryl Steinhoff Photography is now booking for August 2012.  Check out the booking calendar on www.cherylsteinhoffphotography.com

What should my little girl wear for her session?

What should my child wear for the session?  I think this is the most commonly asked question by my clients.  It’s not an easy one to answer either. Putting together an outfit for a photoshoot gets increasingly more tricky with each person you add.  You can get away with almost anything (meaning subtle or funky, not dirty or misfitted) with one subject.  In fact, you can have a lot of fun with colors and patterns when you’re only concerned with one child in the photo.  I love many of the bright and bold patterns, especially for girls.

This is a cute dress from Janie and Jack.

And here, Lipstik Girls has great green top and leggings.

Would I put them together on sisters in a photo?  NO, but invidually they are fab.

If you don’t want to spend top dollar, you need to check you Buttons and Bows Consignment Couture in Acton.  Jillian Shaw has a fabulous store full of high end consignment clothes for babies and children.
