the coll communion
And so it begins…Communion Season!


I was so happy to get a call from this family asking me for a session for their daughter’s communion. We had a really fun shoot last summer at the beach (although a little challenging at times) and Mom was just one of those people I connected with quickly. Love that. And the kids were so great and easy, not to mention terribly photogenic.



Their daughter reminds me SO much of my Jack. I’d love to introduce them at some point- they’d either reeeeally get along, or reeeeeally not. She’s apparently NOT a dress girl, so this whole communion get up was a really big deal. She wore it so well, and looked lovely.


Thanks for a great shoot (again)! Hope to see you again soon!!

Sometimes it’s harder doing shoots for friends than it is for strangers. I worry if their kids will be annoyed with me next time they see me. I always worry I’m not doing a good enough job for them. But in the end, it usually turns out all okay and I worry for nothing.

Well, it was all pretty much okay except for this one.

He spent the majority of the time crying the second he wasn’t being held by his mommy. He really loved me since he was born- and now? Not so much. My boyfriend seems to have broken up with me.

But everyone else behaved themselves. (Except for Daddy who thought it was a great idea to whack me in the butt not once, but twice with a plastic baseball bat. Hard.) I guess it’s still whatever it takes to get the shot, but you see what I mean about shoots for friends being harder (and/or more physically painful) right?


Love the dynamic with the three boys, plus the fact that they are all so young and adorable.


Timmys BFF. Still hoping every day that they will be in class together for Kindergarten next year.

The monkey in the middle. Love all his expressions.


My ex boyfriend.

A gorgeous couple. Mom looks hot! And dosen’t have any drool or smooshed up food on her. Bonus!

Thanks you guys. And glad you came over yesterday for a playdate and that everyone is still speaking to me. Love you guys!

the dele family
My good friends Nate & Colleen (who we recently visited in Washington DC) indulged me and let me take a few pictures of their beautiful little family while we were sightseeing at Bull Run.

The girls were so cute (obviously) but the oldest one was so shy. She did warm up to me quite a bit and I think they both really loved the big boys, but when the camera came out she wasn’t loving me quite as much. I did sneak in a few though.





Love the red hair on the little one.


Gorgeous family.

And it’s just such karma that Nate has two little girls. So totally never saw that one coming.


Thanks for putting up with me and my camera and for the pizza party, and for letting us steal Nate so much over the weekend!! Hope you like the pictures.

the cost mini
Ok, so it was supposed to be a mini session, and while it was time wise (30 minutes of shooting) it certainly wasn’t volume wise! Got a ton of great shots of these two cuties (if you are a blog stalker, you will remember them from a holiday shoot).
Loved the outfits, the springy colors and the park.
Glamour girl and GQ boy.
Thanks to you for a great session, mini or otherwise!

Travelled into Queens for this shoot the day after the big storm. The traffic was terrible and the pot holes were big enough to swallow the minivan in one gulp. But, then there was this…
…and it was like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Miss S is about 2.5 months old and just sweet as could be. Mommy and Daddy are of course head over heels in love with their little girl. As they should be.
They were gifted with a bsquared session by mom’s two sisters (one of which was my really good friend in middle and high school and we reconnected on (where else- say it with me) facebook recently.)
Loved her bright and fun nursery, painted by her artist mom.
Thanks for making an almost bad morning lots of fun!
