Got an email from this great little family (who lives in the same ‘adult dorm’ as my parents) for a mini session for their baby girl. Luckily, I was/am offering a few mini sessions as a special with a portion of each shoot going toward TWLOHA (you can see details about that here: TWLOHA mini sessions ) So, it worked out great for all of us.
She was a smiley little thing, but mostly for Daddy and his antics. Dad is the one who lent Patrick the hotdog Hebrew National metal vendors tin for Halloween. Thanks again for that!
And the dog was great and a real member of the family.
So cute. Mom looks kinda like Liv Tyler, no?
Thanks again to all of you for a great shoot and for helping me donate to a great cause!

I know, I know. I’ve been MIA for the last two days. Sorry about that. Between the unpacking and reorganizing from the week we spent in Disney, to more freakin snow and another snow day for the boys, and catching up on the edits and tons of paperwork I was behind on, well, the blogging took a back seat. I know my blog stalkers have been itching for a new post (right Beth W?) and one with more than one picture in it (right Jen N?) Well, I’m back in the groove (at least for today) and have a great family shoot to post today, with lots more than one picture.
C and I went to high school together and she’s been a great blog stalker and FB friend for a while. I actually took some pictures of her son back when he was a little baby as a clothing model for another one of my clients, but he’s grown so much since then, it’s like a whole new kid! And he’s just so super cute and packed with personality to spare. Oh, and loves to be upside down. A lot.
Their little girl was quite the pip; so smart and spirited and so exactly like her mom. And what little girl doesn’t want an all pink room, with a mirror to dance in.
I had a great morning with you all! Thanks for the fun!

I’m sure you’ll remember these lovelies from their shoot back in the fall. I was so happy when mom called me for another shoot.
The whole family is supremely photogenic, even the dog. Seriously.
Love the inbetween moments of the family portrait. Sometimes even more than the portrait itself.
They are expecting their 4th baby in the spring (I know, mom looks ridiculously amazing. So unfair!) and everyone’s pretty excited about it. The baby’s sex is going to be a surprise. And I get to photograph him or her when he or she makes their appearance. Yay!)
And this picture…totally love. Love the light, the graininess, the husband’s reflection in the mirror. All of it.
Something special about kids in their element. It really brings out their inner smiles and shows their personalities so much.
Thanks so much for a fun morning! Can’t wait for our next shoot!!

I was so excited to get the call (email?) from this fabulous family for a photoshoot.
I had originally taken their pictures 2 years ago on the beach. And I was told they had a new addition to the family (another boy), so I was even more excited to do the shoot. Actually, they got in touch right before Christmas but I was way sold out, so we just scheduled for January. Then on the day we were scheduled, it was drizzly and cloudy and I called just to be sure that we would have enough natural light in their apartment. After mom told me about their bay of 12 ft. windows (and I stopped drooling), I hit the road to get into the city as fast as I could.

Between the windows, the floors, the amazing brick wall, the cool staircase and open floor plan- AND then the gorgeous family…can you say photography heaven?
Then it got even better (is that even possible??) when we went outside to the cobblestone streets. Ahhh, NYC is just the best.
Thanks for a wonderful morning! Can’t wait to do it again!!

A little backstory here to set the scene so to speak. Dean and I were friends way back in high school and lost touch after that (although we were both in Florida for college, just different schools). We reconnected on Facebook (of course) and I guess he’s been following my blog. When he saw that I was going to be down in S. Florida in December/January he asked if I would be willing to come over to his ‘side’ of the state and do a shoot in Sanibel/Captiva. And although it was my vacation after a craaaazy few months I thought it would be so fun to do. Besides, I had never been to the west coast (sad but true, even after living in Fla for 5 years!) and we made a family trip out of it.
Met Dean’s lovely wife and two gorgeous daughters. And it was so great seeing him after all these years, too.
When the first picture of the shoot is the one on the left (look at that yummy light!) you know it’s gonna be all good.
The girls were sweet and so gorgeous. Could’ve taken their pictures ALL day but we were racing the sunset, so there was limited time.
The little one is such a pip. We went out to dinner after the shoot and all she did was walk up to me at the table and smile. Of course when I asked her to smile (or did silly things to get her to smile) it was like pulling teeth. Stinker!
The older daughter is so SO smart. And beautiful and sweet. Great combination. She also rides horses (quite well I’m told). She has such a beautiful spirit that totally shines thru in all the pictures.
The water was really pretty cold (you can see it on their faces as the tide came up) but the beach was so beautiful.
Such a happy couple!! And thanks Tami for the shells!!
I had such a great time hanging out with you and taking lots of pictures for you. Dinner at the Bubble Room was the perfect end to the day and I’m so glad our kids all got along so well.
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I loved taking them!
