the colomb graduation
One of my longtime and favorite clients had their oldest graduate high school last week and had a small party for him and his friends. In the “new world order” the party was smaller, all outdoors and different than normal but still just as happy an occassion as it would have been if things were pre-pandemic. The kids were great and looked very happy to celebrate their big day, just a little delayed. Good luck at NYU Michael (hope you’re there in person!) and to all of your smart friends who are off to their own awesome Universities in the next few weeks!

catie & austin’s engagement party
Before the world exploded and we entered into the era social distancing, I shot this wonderful engagement party for this great couple. It’s my last shoot for who knows how long (summer? fall? next year?- it’s all possible) so I included more pictures than I probably normally would here. Catie & Austin are such an “in-sync” couple and are so happy together, it’s the best possible way to end my forseeable shooting schedule. Catie’s family, who I have photographed for a number of years now, welcomed Austin right into their family- in fact, Catie’s mom says all the time that he’s her favorite child now! It was a really, really cold day but they braved the outside for a few shots before the party which I was very appreciative of! Congratulations Catie & Austin!

kailey’s sweet 16
Be forewarned: a LOT of pictures ahead. This was a wonderful party for a wonderful girl who I’ve been photographing for like, ever. If it wasn’t for this family, bsquared photography probably wouldn’t be a thing; they helped me get my start. I was so happy I was there for this auspicious event! When her mom and I discussed me shooting the party, she mentioned that it was going to be a low-key family type party. And then I arrived, and I thought maybe I dreamed that conversation. Styled by her Aunt Jenn-Jenn (Jennifer Evans Events), it was absolutely spectacular and breathtaking with every single detail perfect. Kailey was beautiful and as sweet at you can get, everyone had an amazing time at the party, the decor was phenomenal and the love that surrounded Kailey and her family was so great to witness. Happy Sweet 16 Kailey!

anna’s “not a sweet 16” party
Anna didn’t want the WHOLE giant sweet 16 party. Not the big dress, not the grand entrance, not the million people. But she wanted a party. So her parents threw a great small “not a sweet 16” party for her and a few of her friends and family. It was perfect. And even though it wasn’t a ‘sweet 16’, Anna IS a super sweet girl and beautiful to boot. So here are some shots from her not a sweet 16 party!

benjamin’s bar mitzvah
Finally able to post a session (since they’re mostly all for the holidays, they have to stay secret until afterwards) and happy to share Benjamin’s Bar Mitzvah with you! A handsome, kind young man and his lovely family are all new to bsquared but his mom and I especially hit it off right away! I was there to photograph his intimate party for just a few hours. He had a family trip to Israel earlier in the year to celebrate his bar mitzvah, so the party was kept small and just for close family and friends. The party was held at one of my favorite venues to photograph, there was a toasty fireplace (which I just wanted to climb into!) and amazing sushi. So I had a great time and it seemed like everyone else there did too. It was so nice meeting and working with this family- I hope I have to chance to again sometime.
