the bear family
This lovely little family lives in my parent’s building and I was so happy to meet them and their very new little girl. I think she was the easiest baby I ever photographed- so sleepy and so easily soothed back into sleeping when she did wake briefly.
I think they love her. Just a little bit!
This was one of those ‘inbetween’ shots, which often turn out to be my favorites. As this did. 
She gave up a ton of smiles, but it was always when I had the camera down. Finally caught one!
I was sad to hear that they were moving out of the building, but they have a big lovely new home to move into. I was going for the American Gothic look here (but don’t worry, there’s one with them smiling too)!
Good luck with the move (and the wall paper removal)! So great meeting all of you!! -
the pins family
The littlest one has been an on and off classmate of Timmy’s since he started at his preschool 3 years ago. Timmy just adores her (you can see why) and she is as sweet and perky as she is adorable! I was so happy when her mom scheduled a shoot because I knew I would have a great time photographing this awesome family– and I was right! Mom is one of the nicest people I know- always thinking of others and going that one step beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of.
While the pictures all look like we took them in an english garden, this was in their big, beautiful backyard. With incredible late day light.
The bigger girl’s front teeth were both hanging by a thread. I think one fell out the day after the shoot.

the boch communion
Got to take some pictures for my very good friend, M and her gorgeous family who I adore. If you are a blog stalker, you may remember that both our families were at Disney at the exact same times, staying at the exact same hotel, and many days in the same parks…all without even planning it that way. The kids are so cute and when we moved from their house to the church grounds for some additional pictures, two of them came in my car.
Thanks for letting me capture your family again, M! -
the doyl family
This shoot was done a little while ago, but being it’s a gift for Fathers Day, today was the first day I could post it. So…happy Fathers Day to the dad of these three, and to all the dad’s out there!
It was great photographing some ‘bigger kids’. Not that I don’t love the little ones- just was a nice change of pace.
Terribly handsome. 
Beautiful and sweet. And a little shy. 
I was informed that the holiday card is not complete without the dog.
Isn’t she lovely? I just love it so much when the outfits match the location perfectly!

the smi baby & family
Somehow, even though this was an 8am shoot (agh- 8 am!!) I somehow had my game on and got some fantastic shots of this gorgeous baby and his equally gorgeous family. Going to be short on narrative again, sorry. But I know you won’t need a whole lot of explaining behind these shots!
Or I can just say…perfection.
The end.
