While I only met this family recently, I’m so glad to have them as a new addition to the bsquared family. Their daughter goes to school with Timmy so I see mom every morning while waiting for the kids to go in. And it turns out I graduated high school with dad’s brother.

I was told that Dad found the photoshoot significantly less painful than he anticipated. Always good news. For both of us. They were so good and so gorgeous. A real pleasure to photograph. 

The first shoot in a really, really full day of mini sessions over at Hempstead Lake State Park. A great way to start out the day with a beautiful family with little girls full of energy and fun. Had to work fast- because they were fast and because they were done with the shoot fast, too!

Love the little tongue that kept popping out throughout the shoot.  Thanks for a great start to a long day!

I’m so lucky that I have so many repeat clients, and really lucky that they like me enough to keep coming back! It’s been a tough 3 years for me with this little girl- she just really didn’t care for me or my camera and I had to WORK to get each and every shot. It was always worth it cause she’s gorgeous and photogenic. But we (mom & dad too) really had to try everything to get a good shot. This year, we totally turned the corner and she loved taking pictures and we had a great time together. And according to mom, she’s still talking about me (but in a good way!).

And when you get a shot like this, it’s all ‘whatever’ for the rest of  the extra stuff.

Her little brother wasn’t particularly thrilled with the shoot (but I’m hopeful that it was just cause he had a drippy-from-every-oraface cold). And if it wasn’t from the cold…well, I guess I’ll have 3 more challenging years ahead! I did it before, I’ll do it again. Not that you could tell from this first shot of him. Thanks for all your hard work (this time, and all the other times too!)

Please  excuse the limited narrative today– I’m off and running all day. Another repeat and fabulous bsquared family with two really super fun boys. And if taking their pictures wasn’t enough, they introduced me to a great new location too!

Thanks for a great shoot and for the new location!

First, welcoming this family (who I adore) back from their trip to Disney- hopefully their pictures will hold the post-Disney-blues at bay. Secondly, I love photographing them- the girls are all gorgeous and sweet and mom & dad aren’t bad themselves.

Clearly, they should be modelling something fabulous. Threw in a little swinging fun to break up the shoot. And you blog stalkers out there should recognize this little one. She’s been in Timmy’s pre-school class and is now in the same Kindergarten class with him. Can’t believe this is the same baby I photographed as a newborn. She’s so big already!!All time favorite sisters shot.  Welcome home, pear family. Can’t wait to hear all about the trip.
