welcome home, annabella!!
After a very long 5 year wait my friends adopted a baby girl from China,making their family of 5 (they have 3 boys, too!) into a family of 6. Jenn was nice enough to let me crash their homecoming at Kennedy Airport two weeks ago for their baby girl’s big debut to snap some pictures of the reunited, thrilled family! What an honor it was for me, especially after following Jenn & her mom’s travels in China, watching her meet her baby girl and watching them getting to know eachother all thru Facebook updates and Jenn’s blog. There were a number of tears shed behind the camera, too!
The waiting is the hardest part (thanks, Tom Petty) but there was quite a long one from touch down to making it thru customs.
The whole gang. 
Three very excited big brothers! Love how they got all dressed up to meet their new sister. 
More waiting… (this was at around 11:30pm so there was definitely some exhaustion mixed in with the waiting. That, plus the fact they hadn’t seen their mom for just over 2 weeks just made the anticipation all the worse.)
And, here they are!!
Beautiful, beautiful baby. 
Annabella went right to her daddy and seemed quite comfortable there for the rest of the evening. Love the way he looks at her the rest of the night. Meeting her brothers and looking quite content about it. 
She really liked Devin’s hat. 
First picture of Mommy, Daddy and Annabella together. What a special moment and I am so lucky I got to capture it. 
And the first picture of the whole H family. Yes, I know you are crying now, too. 
I had noticed that she kept making this face on the pictures that Jenn posted from China, so I figured I’d make it at her and see if she would do it back. And she did! Smart and gorgeous little cookie!!
Going to her forever home. 
H family- wishing all of you all the happiness in the world (but, you already have that!) an easy, smooth adjustment for Annabella and all of you. And all the love you can stand!! Thank you so very much for letting me photograph this for you. I hope you and Annabella will treasure the pictures of her first meeting the rest of her family and her first time on US soil in her new homeland. xoxo -
the slat family {& tiffany’s christening}
A new to bsquared family, but one that I’ve known thru all the boys. Their second oldest is in class with the big boys and their second youngest is in class with Timmy. They were celebrating their newest addition’s Christening (in style, I might add- do you love all the Tiffany stuff for little Miss Tiffany?! I knew it was going to be a great shoot after seeing the whole family’s coordinating outfits and the Tiffany bags set up just for me!)
Isn’t she just a beautiful baby?!
The same face. 
Four beautiful blonde girls. 
You know I love some baby feet. 
And baby feet in a row with a ton of fabulous shoes? Even better!
My first time seeing a baby roll her eyes. As in, what are you doing to me?!
Ridiculously good looking family! Thanks for a great session- hope the Christening and party were wonderful!

kate’s 1st birthday
I was lucky enough to photograph this super fun 1st birthday party for Miss Kate and her family (her aunt is a longtime bsquared client) at the Little Gym in Merrick. A really great time was had by all the big and little guests and I think it’s safe to say that the birthday girl may just have been the happiest 1 year old ever! Every time I took a picture of her, she was nothing but smiles and laughs!!
You should recognize every face in this picture from previous bsquared shoots. 
A big party for a little girl!
Big sister.
See what I mean about the smiles and giggles?!
Thank you for letting me join in on the fun! -
the dost family
I photographed this lovely little family (less their newest addition) a few years back, and when I went over to their house for the shoot I was so happy to see lots of my pictures on display! The boys were in a silly mood and so fun and funny. And the baby was just delicious! So much good looking in one family!
Dont you just love her peaches and cream complexion with the rosy red cheeks?
Love.
Thanks for a great shoot, everyone! C- hoping to see you at the 80’s party tomorrow night!!

the beyr family
Does that last name look vaguely familiar? Well, that’s cause they are our cousins. And that means I am related to this totally adorable baby. Ok, so it’s by marriage but whatever. He’s just too delicious!!
The rolls have rolls. But he is awfully flexible.
We left the diaper on due to some ummmm…..earlier issues. We all just figured it was safer that way even though there couldn’t possibly be anything left in there!! And yes, I left the drool in the picture- too cute to photoshop that out. 
Oh my. That face. 
We wore him out!
Thanks for a great shoot- one of the first ones back after the quiet winter! Looking forward to seeing you all again soon, with all the boys next time!
