I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday, I know I did!

On that note, hosting any type event can be somewhat stressful, whether it is a Thanksgiving Day meal for family or a Trick or Treat Night at your photography studio! I am sure many of you can relate… However after all is said and done it is always worth it. When Ms. Robyn Lee from 94.7 WMAS came to our “Behind Closed Doors” Trick or Treat night held on October 30th the girls and I couldn’t have been more excited. We had so much fun getting Robyn all dolled up for her shoot and Salon Karma did an excellent job doing her makeup (Not that she needs any!). Robyn was such a natural and so comfortable in front of the camera. I couldnt have asked for a better model.

Ladies take a suggestion from Robyn and book your “Behind Closed Doors” session here at Denise Smith Photography and as Robyn says “Spice of your Christmas!”

Check out some footage of Robyn’s Behind Closed Doors experience below:

Dog’s truly are man’s (and woman’s) best friend. That is why I am such an advocate of the East Longmeadow Bark Park. It is such a wonderful thing to have a place here in town where both humans and dogs can enjoy themselves equally! Although I do not have a dog myself, I do LOVE when they come to the studio to visit! This is why I am offering a limited time special at my East Longmeadow Studio. If you call the studio to arrange a Doggy Photography session with me on November 26th or 27th, 10% percent of the proceeds will go to the East Longmeadow Bark Park. As we all know each dog has their “personality” and what better way is there to capture a moment in time with your furry friend? These photos make great gifts, Holiday cards or they can simply just be a reminder of how much you love your pooch! Remember that the East Longmeadow Bark Park runs soley on donations from the community so schedule your Doggy Photography session today and help support a great local cause!!!

Would you like to be part of an exclusive evening dedicated to celebrating and pampering women?

Come be a vendor at our “Behind Closed Doors Trick or Treat Night!” The event will be held here in the studio October 30th from 5-9. For more details on how you can become a vendor please send a Facebook message or email Marketing@DeniseSmithPhotography.com. See you the 30th!

Last Saturday I had a session with a family that I had photographed twelve years ago and today I had a senior session that I had photographed when she was only six months old. It means the world to me that even though it’s been years since I last saw them they still valued my work enough to come back! Having long term relationships with my clients and capturing their life story is my passion.

The biggest obstacle in our lives today is time, or lack of it. To me the people that are taking the time to capture these monumental times in their lives are the lucky ones. The ones who say “we just don’t have the time to get everyone together” are the ones missing out. Photographs help us remember what the mind forgets. I know if it wasn’t for the old B&W photos of my family, I would never know what my parents looked like when they were younger. One of my favorite images was of my father standing in his army uniform leaning against a car on the beach with his helmet,and a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Everyone has memories and stories passed on but you need a face to go with them. That is why Photography is so very important.
