A Cure for These Rainy Spring Days

It's been a chilly, wet spring in Montclair so far this year. Though I couldn't be happier to see leaves on the trees and tulips on every corner, the view is just not the same from under an umbrella and overcoat.
It's times like these I start looking forward to summer, and some of my favorite family portrait sessions... beach days! There's nothing better than being able to spend a day photographing a family on vacation at the Jersey shore, when everyone (including the photographer) is relaxed and carefree. You can't ask for a better backdrop than blue skies and sandy dunes. Here's a selection of some of my favorites to help you get through the cold and the clouds. 90 degree days are just around the corner!

Senior Portrait Season

While the Class of 2010 is eagerly counting down the days to graduation, we're already getting in gear to photograph NEXT year's graduating class... that's right, senior portraits for the class of 2011 are now underway!

To kick off a great season, we're running a contest on Facebook.... any student in a local high school from the Class of 2011 that becomes a fan of Phil Cantor Senior Portraits will be entered in a drawing to win a FREE senior portrait session! We'll be drawing 8 winners on May 15. Join us!

Here are just a handful of last year's seniors who came to Phil Cantor Photography to get their portraits done. See anyone you recognize?

Camera Shy? No Way!

Proof that a Phil Cantor portrait session just might be the most fun a kid could have on a Friday afternoon? You be the judge!

We had another wonderful Baby Collection session in the studio last week, and I had the honor of hosting four generations of the family.  Rosa is... get ready for it... little Johnny's GREAT grandmother! Can you believe it? She looks fabulous.

I was happy to see that Johnny had kept the same hairstyle from our first session when he was a month old..

And finally, Johnny with his beautiful mother Christin. It's hard to believe it's been over three years since I photographed her wedding... time certainly flies! I can't wait to see what's in the next chapter of their family story.
