    erin’s 40th

    The lovely Erin turned 40 recently and had a big party at Two Steak and Sushi Den to celebrate. She asked me to photograph a bit of her evening and I was more than happy to. Two is super trendy and has such cool decor. I’m sure the food was great too!

    Such a pretty birthday girl!!The birthday girl with her parents and her sons. How cute is that baby?! Happy birthday Erin!

    emily’s confirmation

    Even though we didn’t end up vacationing together this year, I did get to take some pictures of one of my favorite families for Emily’s Confirmation. Another day where we barely evaded the rain, but it was beautiful anyway.

    Please excuse the lack of narrative, I’m totally in the weeds for the next few days. It’s been crazy here!

    aidan’s first communion

    Aidan’s first communion is the last one I shot this season, and the last to be shared. A big thanks to his mom for being extra patient waiting for his pictures. Without further ado, meet Aidan and his fantastic family on his special day.

    The little one just woke up from her nap and was not particularly interested in photos. But she has a special place with me as she’s the little baby on the left of the blog header on the wood floor. She’s grown up a bit since then but is still just as cute!

    Loved this mother & daughter. The balloon guy was fantastic- his balloon animals, swords, lightsabers and other things were the best I have ever seen. If you are looking for some good entertainment for your next kid party his name is Edgar Calderon and can be reached at mistertwister260@gmail.com or 917.497.3761Besties. How cute is this face?! Thanks for letting me be there for your day, Aidan!

    happy mothers day

    Hoping all of you had a wonderful mothers day. I did. I got to sleep late, went to Hempstead for brunch with everyone (John and the boys, both sets of grandparents, and Joe & Gail and their boys) and had a lazy afternoon at home. Just wish I felt better- my allergies are awful. None of the delicious food tasted quite right at brunch cause of the allergy meds, my eyes are swollen itchy and ugly, and I kept falling asleep all afternoon/evening. Can’t wait for spring to be OVER.

    My presents: (looooove my new Coach bag. John’s batting 1000 on the pocketbooks!!) The Mets shirt, however…..

    And my gifts: Wishing all my bsquared mommies a very happy mothers day yesterday, too.

    the calo communion- part 2

    I have no doubt you’ll recognize this beauty from her communion portrait session I posted a few weeks back. Last weekend was her actual communion and I was so glad to be asked back for more pictures of the whole family and extended family. And a little of the party, too.

    Stay tuned to the blog in the coming weeks- lots more communions to go.
