    sara & ryan get engaged!

    Ryan is a longtime client and to say that my head was spinning when he asked if i could come shoot his proposal photos would not be an exaggeration! I mean he’s still a little kid in my head who HATES getting his picture taken! Time does fly by! Here is our lovely and artistic rendering of how we were positioning the proposal. And here are the resulting shots from the actual proposal. She said yes! Congratulations to Ryan & Sara and thanks so much for having me along for the ride!

    gabby’s graduation

    My favorite tiny dancer graduated from 8th grade and is off on all kinds of new adventures! She is still dancing for the NYC Ballet  (The School of American Ballet/SAB) so with moving up as you get older and get asked back, high school becomes more and more difficult to coordinate with professional dance. So she’ll be going to public school and going back and forth to nyc daily (such a busy schedule). And that’s after a summer dance intensive all the way on the other side of the country. So exciting! And I love the rest of this family- the littlest boy was literally rolling around in the grass in his jacket and dress pants when I arrived for the shoot. The middle son is all heart, as shown thru his flower petal he found. Loving it! And them.

    blanche & anthony celebrate 50 years

    Congratulations to the happy couple! 50 years is a huge accomplishment and they have a lovely family to help them celebrate this awesome milestone. I especially loved the picture of the cousins with the jackets over their shoulders- a recreation of one from their childhood. Many thanks to Eileen for hiring me to capture their special day.

    the {extended} arra family

    FINALLY starting to post fall and winter sessions now that all cards have been delivered (for a while now!). Here’s a new to bsquared extended family session that was a gift for their mom/grandma. We braved the really, really cold temps that day for a few shots outside too. Loved all the curly hair!

    the lafa 50th anniversary

    A bit of traveling out east for this shoot, totally worth it! The whole family was awesome and they had a lovely small party for their parents at the Snapper Inn to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Filled with family and friends (including their best man from 50 years ago!) they had a lovely celebration. We had to make sure the couple had a picture with all their grandchildren (who were present, anyway) and with the best man too!
