I’ve been photographing this crew for soooo many years now and I’m happy to report they still put up with me! We did the shoot this year by their Hamptons house and we finally lucked out with good weather! I can’t believe how big (and i mean TALL and grown up!) the boys are. I knew they’d be tall but this is crazy! Can’t wait to see them again next year I hope!

I think this is my 3rd time photographing this always adorable family, but this time we mixed it up a little and went to the beach. It was a beautiful (but a bit windy!) evening with gorgeous light and pretty subjects! Little miss Juliette was as much as a spitfire as always but when she’s as cute as she is, it’s not so bad chasing after her a little! Can’t wait for next year’s session!

So it seems everytime we have a shoot, there is some apocalypse of nature taking place. Well, this year was definitely no different. We had swarms of biting bugs, crazy humidity, then rain. The dog got kicked off the beach by the very unnice beach police, and the girls hair was frizzing from the rain. But somehow this perfect family pulled it off and still looked like the perfect family. Annoying, right? Even the umbrella was cute. It would be if they weren’t SO nice! Can’t wait to see what next year’s shoot holds- maybe hail? An earthquake?

This fab family actually lives full time in London, but they were here for the summer renting in Long Beach, so of course we had to do a beach session! This year’s weather was so bad so often that I guess it was inevitable that within literally 5 minutes of starting our session, it started drizzling (it had been nice out up until that point!) and the wind got crazy. Of course it did. But they were heading back home to London so we really didn’t have a choice but to proceed and make it work as best we could. Thanks to everyone for being cool and making the best of it!
