jourdan’s bat mitzvah
I was so excited to photography my first bat mitzvah, and Jourdan’s day certainly didn’t disappoint! And let me say that there is no way that I was this poised and lovely at 13. Isn’t she awesome?!
A little review before the actual ceremony. 
The whole lovely family. 
A little love from both sets of grandparents. 
Grandma was honored in Jourdan’s speech and I think she was a little moved!
The wine is never as good as you think it’s going to be. 
Getting showered (or pummeled) with sweetness. 
Making the grand entrance to the party. 
Congratulations Jourdan! You did such a wonderful job and I know you had a great time at your party. Thanks for being easy for the pictures!! -
the abat family
Another fabulous (and new to bsquared) family who chose a beach shoot to capture their family. I think it was a great choice- they all looked quite comfortable, relaxed and happy there. And just a little gorgeous!!
The little boy was the most challenging to capture and definitely kept me on my toes- but the results were worth all the running!!
She requested this picture specifically- awesome!
Showing me some mad dance moves on the right. And love the mischievious sparkle in her eyes. Perfect for the ‘keep off’ picture above. 
See, so worth it!! And yes, his eyes are really that blue. 
Thanks for a great shoot! You guys made it lots of fun!! -
the barro family
After doing a photoshoot for Dad’s brother last year (do you remember the Islanders room? That’s them.) this family got in touch to set up a shoot of their own. I’m so glad they did. I mean, can you just squeeze this little girl right thru the computer?!
Although mom was a little nervous, I think we pulled off the bird bath shot perfectly!
Loved the dramatic lighting in this one. Someone was losing steam quickly, so we wrapped up not so long after this shot. 
Great meeting all of you! Hope you enjoy your pictures. -
the magn family
This family was brand new to bsquared photography, and I’m so glad they found me. They were so very, very nice and fun to work with, with an adorable and very spunky little girl. We ran (and I do mean ran) all over the park and finished up with some shots outside their home.
I loved how happy mom and dad were. And as it turns out, dad was on that plane that crash landed in the Hudson River. So glad he (and everyone else on board) is okay and still here with us!!
See what I mean about spunky?!
Thanks for letting me capture some of your day, sharing your stories and your smiles with me! -
the cord family
Another new to bsquared family who was gifted with a session by a family friend. We met up (after all of us hemming and hawing all day because of the iffy weather and the distance they were travelling to meet up with me at the beach) at Pt. Lookout and we lucked out with the weather holding out for our whole shoot.
Dad is Puerto Rican, Mom is Polish. They told me their son is officially “Polarican”. Love that. 
I just loved watching the interaction between them all. So sweet and genuine.
