    the brit family

    A longtime bsquared family who braved the wind (and it was SO windy!) for their shoot this year. I was so happy to see them all again, even with hair flying everywhere! This summer hasn’t been very nice weather wise so at this point I was just glad to get the shoot in at all! Wishing all the kids a great year at school (and parents too of course!) where I hope things are normal-ish. Thanks to all of them for being troupers with the wind!

    the silv family

    So happy to see this family again this year! After my personal piano concert from miss J last year, I was looking extra forward to catching up with them and hearing about all the new developments in the past year. (spoiler:Besides miss J missing a lot of teeth, there were not many. because, covid.) But it was great to see them and hear lots of family giggles again! Here’s to hoping I see them again next year for pictures and we have some fun stuff to catch up on.

    kristen’s sweet 16 on the beach

    To celebrate Kristen, her parents rented a house on Fire Island and had all her besties out for the weekend. The beach shoot was so much fun for me, we had perfect conditions and they were all so adorable, sweet and fun to shoot! I discovered that Kristen can really fly which I didn’t know even though I’ve been photographing her for like 12 or so years! I know there’s picture overload but I couldn’t choose!

    the {extended} cowa family

    This is my second time photographing this ENTIRE crew, we missed a year because of Covid- but so happy to get to see them all at once again. I’m sure you’ll recognize parts of the family because I’ve been photographing them for years.  Poor Annie 1. still hates me and 2. still scares the hell out of me (yes, she’s two but she will kill you) but grandma is her favorite person and got some smiles out of her some of the time. Which is way better than what I usually get from her (click the link above if you want to laugh at her fall shoot with me). The rest of the family still likes me- at least i think so- and even though the day wasn’t great weatherwise, we still had a great shoot! Can’t wait to do it again next year!

    katie & kevin get engaged!

    And I was there to capture it! In secret stealth ninja photographer mode in the beginning for the proposal (which is not easy on a very open beach with nowhere to hide) and then out in the open for some pictures of the newly engaged couple! Kevin did an awesome job and she said yes, obviously! Big thanks to Katie’s BFF Marisa for helping with all of the arrangements of getting me there and gifting this couple with this session! Congratulations to the happy couple and both families!!
