Meet Zippy!

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite images from one of our recent dog sessions. Meet Zippy, a beautiful and very friendly Doberman Pinscher! Zippy had many incredible images from his session, but I really love his profile and his alert gaze.
Zippy brought back memories for me, as my family had a Doberman named Heidi. This goes back aways to the 70's & 80's. She was a great dog and I hadn't thought of her recently until Zippy came to see us.

An afternoon at Blithewold

I'm siting here at the computer because we got rained out again. This June has been brutal for outdoor sessions so I thought it would be nice to take a look at a recent session where the sun was actually shining. This video is a look at Eva & Elsa, two sisters that had a great time that day and look beautiful in their traditional Chinese dresses.

This session was at Blithewold in Bristol, RI. If you have never been there, you need to put it on your list of places to visit this summer. It is one of the most spectacular locations in this area. We are offering some special sessions this July at Blithewold, call 401-245-5713 for more details.

Beach Bums 2009

Last year we launched our "Beach Bums" promotion for kids from infant to 12 years old. It was a lot of fun, so we brought it back for the summer of the '09.
Meet us at a local beach, Wednesday mornings July 1st - July 23rd. There's only three sessions each morning- so if you are interested, give us a call today at 401-245-5713. The session fee is only $29.00 if you book by June 25th ($39.00 after that date).
We'll provide the props (bucket & shovel, sand castle, etc.), you just bring the kids!
Any outfit from a dress or shorts to a swimsuit works just fine! Check out more images at www.scottsylvia.net/beachbums.

Meet Oliver

My daughter Lauren has been begging for the last year (maybe longer) for a small dog of her own. We were a bit reluctant since we already have a six year old Airedale Terrier. Some of you may have met our dog Max and he's definitely not a lap dog, although he tries to be.
Persistence pays, as Lauren finally wore us down and a new puppy has joined the family. Oliver is a Yorkiechon (that's the fancy name for a Yorkie - Bichon mix) and is twelve weeks old. His hobbies are eating, jumping, waking at 5:30 a.m. and of course annoying Max. But who can resist that face?

Senior Feature: Brooke

Talking to myself?

Just a quick note to let you know that I have dropped the Senior Blog, as most of the high school seniors tend to check in on the latest news on our Facebook page. This blog will remain up and running, and I will on occasion post pictures and info geared toward the seniors here, as well as the usual info that is aimed toward the children and family side of our studio.

I recently heard another photographer say that when he referred a senior to his blog, the kid replied "isn't a blog when old people talk to themselves?" I hate to admit it, but the kid may have a point.
