a carnival? for my birthday?
Not exactly. But I wanted to post something cheery on this otherwise dismal anniversary of 9/11. Which also happens to be my birthday.
Some shots from the annual carnival at our beach club.
Wheeeeeeeeee!
Grace in motion, this one.
He wouldn’t smile. Cause the horses “stink bad, mommy”. 
The boys and John are flying back from Toronto later today and I’ll be working most of the day. Which is good if only to keep my mind off of the flying part. Hope everyone has a good day today and takes a minute or two to remember all of those who lost their lives 9 years ago today. I’ll be remembering. -
happy 11th birthday, boys!!
Just a super quick post (as we are going to go back to the beach today to enjoy the day as much as we can) to wish my big boys a very happy 11th birthday. We love you both so much and you bring us so much joy every day. You are both such wonderful, smart, amazing people and we couldn’t be more proud of you than we are!!
And on a cool note, their birthday today is 8-9-10 and they are 11.

the dani cake smash
Little Miss L is celebrating the big ONE and to help make the occassion extra special her parents set up a little photoshoot for her complete with a cake smash. We had a great time wandering around the park and exploring lots of different places that Miss L found fun. Isn’t she just the cutest!?
Loved her little crawl on hands and feet so she wouldn’t scrape her knees. Gorgeous and clever!
Yeah, the hat lasted about 6 seconds. But that was long enough to get the shot!
A little peekaboo in the cutest tutu.
And the cake. Love the expression on the right- like ‘is this really all for me?!”
It got way messier as the cake wore on, but she wore it well. 
Happy Birthday L!! -
the ricc birthday party
Taking just a small break from Caren & Tim’s Jamaican wedding while I try to catch up on some of the 21 other outstanding shoots I have waiting to be edited. Still more to come from the wedding so stay tuned for that next week.
Check out this adorable birthday girl and her dressup/makeup/modeling/princess birthday party. She’s the daughter of my Pilates trainer who I love (Hi, Karen!!) and was seriously just as sweet as could be.
Shooting this dress up birthday party was a little different than the other ones I shot since the girls were little and so much shyer than the older girls parties I took pictures at (well, for the most part. Some of them were all about the posing.)
While others were all about the dancing.
Took a few of the birthday girl’s gorgeous brothers too.And grandparents. Such a good looking family!
And I think it’s safe to say that someone was pretty excited about her cake!
Thanks for having me over to photograph the party. I know everyone had a great time!

the ditc birthday party
I’m off with the family to Jamaica this morning (where we hopefully won’t die in a firey plane crash. You know how I love to fly.) to shoot a fantastically fabulous destination wedding. I’m not sure if the crackberry will work down there or not, so if you email me and are waiting for a reply, I’ll get back to everyone once I’m back next week.
As my last post until I’m back, please enjoy the very fun pictures from Hannah’s birthday party. I’ve done a few of these dress up parties (and have one more scheduled soon) and they are always so fun and make me laugh the whole time I’m shooting.
Hannah and her sister are two of my most favorite subjects. They are gorgeous girls with wonderful personalities and just such a pleasure. And you can see my camera feels the same way about them as I do.
And a little mosaic of most of the outfits the girls put together for the party. So funny and cute! Great job girls!!!
