the wool family
This was a session I was seriously excited for. Caren & Tim were “my” bride and groom back in 2010 for their wedding in Jamaica and since then, they’ve welcomed a beautiful baby boy (who is now just over a year old) into their family. They live far away in upstate New York, but come down every summer to visit family & friends. When they contacted me to do a session for them, I was super excited to not only see them but to meet and photograph Owen for the first of what I hope to be many times. Of course the session had to be at the beach! But someone was not a fan of the sand. Or the water. Made for an interesting session, but we got it done with singing, food, a lot of time being held and tickles for smiles.
Snuck in a sitting in the sand shot super quick before he realized he was in the sand. 
Ha!
He disliked the sand and water so much he went all flamingo and tried only standing on one foot.

the rich family
If you are a blog stalker (which, of course, I hope that you are!) you’ll remember this family from their daughters bat mitzvah, an awards night and sarah’s recent session celebrating her brace free smile. We had this session scheduled for over a year out at their summer/weekend home in Westhampton Beach. But illness, travel plans and weather had other ideas and pushed our session back a whole year plus. I was so happy to get it done so they’ll have some great family photos that are updated and ready to hang in their gorgeous home out that way.
A windy and way humid evening on the beach, but the light was gorgeous.
Sooooo cute!
Standing out in the marsh for this one! (me, not the family!)
Beautiful ladies. 
Hope you like them all, T and family!! Enjoy the rest of your summer out there!
And if you’re my friend on Facebook, you’ll remember me cursing the whole way home when they closed the LIE (the whole freaking road) from exits 62-63 on the way home and I sat in traffic for an hour and 4o minutes. That part wasn’t fun. But dinner with my friend Kim (who also summers out in Westhampton) before hitting the road was great! -
the bodk family
My first time photographing this great family, who was referred to me by mom’s sister who I photographed a few times in the past year. Loved the kids, both big and small. They were so much fun to photograph and spend an evening with.

the demi family
After seeing them two summers ago for an extended family session, this family moved to Ohio so I was very excited that mom (who I went to high school with) got in touch letting me know they would be in town for a little while and wanted to book a session. It was awesome catching up (although since I post so much on Facebook, there wasn’t much she didn’t already know about me, so we talked mostly about her move- all good with me!) and although we had a not so great weather day with tons of wind, we fit in the shoot just before the first raindrops fell on the car on the way home. I just quickly looked back at their session two years ago and am completely blown away by how big the kids got, especially the boys.
This one has enough personality packed in for about 6 people.
Maura, you are defying the years! Gorgeous!

maggie’s senior session
Maggie is straight out of California(although she lives here on Long Island and I’m pretty sure she has her whole life)- a true golden girl in every sense of the word. Smart, so sweet, gorgeous, blonde, tan and an ocean lifeguard. She seems too good to be true, but she really is all that and more. Maggie’s headed to Villanova in the fall, honoring a family legacy and also taking her own path. She had a very busy week last week with graduation and prom so I waited until today to post her pictures. Hope you like them Maggie (and parents who I adore!) and I don’t really need to wish you good luck next year cause you obviously have that covered, but wishing you nothing but all of your dreams coming true! Giddy-up! (<<<that was for you Gina! except I left part out.)
Shooting at the beach was a no-brainer.
A little change of clothing…
And another change…into the lifeguard uniform.
Last outfit before sunset was done.
Thanks again, Maggie! I had a fantastic time photographing you. xo
