    the sabi family

    You may recognize Mr. Jack from his communion portraits a few weeks back, but otherwise this is a brand new to bsquared family with such cuuuuuuuute kids! We had lots of laughs hanging out together and just being silly at a beautiful location. I was even able to convince mom to jump in for just a few photos (you know how important I think being in the photos with your family is!!), so I considered the whole session a big success!

    rachel’s prom

    Ok, so its not the actual prom, but the pre prom party at Rachel’s house. Rachel is my “niece” (the quotes because we are not actually technically related), I’ve known her since before she was born. She was my first baby girl and I had soooo much fun shopping for her- all pink hearts and frilly stuff. So you could imagine that I was welling up a little behind the camera while taking these. Feels like just a few months ago (it was actually 3 years ago!) that I was photographing her brother Adam’s pre-prom party and crying a little then too. But since she’s been hocking me to freaking death for her pictures (see, she takes after her very impatient Aunt Beth), I figured I’d go ahead and get them done so I don’t get any more daily texts.

    You may remember Rachel from her senior session with me. Still gorgeous. And off to University of Tampa in just a few weeks for her freshman year!

    She is a barbie doll. Dad’s reaction to seeing her in her dress the first time was priceless.With her mom (my BFF Heidi).Little sister Erica (3 years till I’m doing this again for her!) and puppy Reef.Nanny and Poppy.Aunt Elizabeth who I also adore. Another great reaction shot!Rachel’s date and boyfriend, Chris. Ahhhh, my girl makes me sooooo proud. She takes after me so much! (I told ya if you did it, I was posting it!)And they’re off…(They had a great time at the prom, I’m told). Hope you love them Rachel! Now stop bugging me.

    the sarg family

    If you’re a blog stalker (which I hope you are) I’m pretty sure you will recognize these gorgeous kiddos from their many, many past sessions with me and from the blog header above. I got to see them again this year for a session and for some communion portraits for pretty miss Mary. Even though the day went super quickly from sunny and nice to huge thunder showers (which we were lucky enough to avoid, but just barely) but I got nothing but smiles from these awesome kids!

    The thousand yard stare.

    jack’s first communion

    Just when you thought communion season was over (ok, it technically was over and these were taken after his actual communion day, but they’re still communion pictures)… Did a mini session for a new to bsquared family with a boy with a HUGE personality. I think you’ll see that in his pictures, it was too big to hide. One more communicant to come and then communion season is really over for 2014. I think.

    You’ll see a little more of this pretty little lady on the blog later this week. Possibly my favorite communion portrait ever.

    renee & josh (and melissa, too!)

    A new to bsquared family/couple, but not really totally new. I went to hs with Renee. And although they are currently living in PA, they were on Long Island for a visit and their photoshoot. They have never really had professional pix before but man, they worked the crap outta the camera.  And best of all? I will be photographing Renee & Josh’s amazingly fabulous wedding this fall in a to-die for venue. Cannot wait to work with them again!! They’re getting married on a lovely tropical island very, very soon so send them your very best wishes for that!

    Since I haven’t been blogging a ton, I figured I’d give you lots of photos to look at from this session.
