Children’s Photography: Fun in Fall
If you’ve ever wondered when is a great time to update that family portrait, my answer will always be autumn in New England. Forget that stiff rushed school portrait and opt for a fun fall mini session that will take the time to get to know your family, your children and use all sorts of…
Senior Portrait Photography: Alive with Music
Blast from the Past (circa February 2017). I’m still out here on the left coast aka California. You may notice a major hiatus in posts but more on that in future posts. Today, I got to meet up with the wildly talented Britt Kusserow and her guitar to take some professional headshots that she can…
Engagement Photography: Love is Love
In the midst of the hatred and ignorance that barrages us on a daily basis, it is wonderful to see that love still exists and is strong within. I love engagement photography because I love photographing people in love. There is a wonderment that is magical when you see it dance across your camera and…
Children’s Photography: To Seclusion We Go!
On Columbus Day Weekend, I had the privilege to have a mini college reunion with some awesome women in Jacksonville, Vermont. No internet, no cellphone reception. It was heaven. I honestly cannot remember the last time I laughed that much. I think I did more healing in that weekend than I did over the summer.…
Professional Headshots: Music to My Ears
It’s been quite a year, relocating to California and starting graduate school. Now that the school year is complete, I’ve been able to return to photography. Yesterday, I wandered around Pasadena, with Britt Kusserow, taking some professional headshots for her website as she in an up and coming artist in L.A. I love this type…
Professional Headshots Can be Casual
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to work with up-and-coming actor, Garrett Wagner. Garrett needed a professional headshot. And since I do professional headshot photography, it was kismet! We stumbled upon many interesting textures and colors in his stomping grounds of Venice, CA. Having the freedom to walk around and find different textures to shoot against…
A New Landscape
My solo road trip across the country has been nothing short of empowering. I packed Grover (my car) up to the gills and the momentous adventure began. Journeying alone allows for times of reflection, boredom and singing guilty pleasures at the top of your lungs. I must admit that I was extremely trepidatious to leave…
No Cities to Love, Only People
I do not usually post personal work on the blog, however, with the supreme court’s ruling yesterday it seems fitting to announce that with a heavy heart Amika Gair Photography will be relocating to California in July. I love my clients with all my being. I look at the photos I taken over the years…
Reuniting the Sisterhood
This past weekend, I had the joy of returning to my alma mater, Mount Holyoke College, for my five year reunion. As I drove under the iconic archway, memories and traditions flooded to the forefront as if I’d only graduated the preceding weekend. Perhaps my favorite tradition is the Laurel Day Parade. Classes gather together…
Newborn Photography: Capturing Priceless Moments
It’s a rare Saturday morning, when I’m sitting in front of my computer instead of out taking photos, but it is certainly welcomed. Two weeks ago, I met this sweetheart named Meera. Her newborn photography session could not have run more smoothly. My assistant, Allison, and I were enamored with this little peanut. She posed,…
