    I’m out shooting this morning and then back home this afternoon for some Trick-or-Treating fun. More Halloween pictures to follow next week.

    Hope you all have a happy and safe one.

    the dunn family {mini session}

    My third year photographing this lovely family and watching their girls grow has been such fun. Every year the shoot gets a little easier as the girls get less shy and more used to the crazy lady with the camera.

    We had a shaky start with the youngest with lots of tears and shaking and running away. But in the end, she came right around.

    And the oldest who was terribly shy of me in previous years knocked it out in the first few frames!

    Nothing like some ring around the rosey to break the ice.

    the vere family {mini session}

    Loved photographing these freckled cutie pies!

    Backstory: Mom and I went to highschool together. And although we lost touch after highschool, we recently reconnected on FB (duh, where else!?) and she asked me to do a shoot for her for the holidays. It was so great seeing you, V! We will definitely get together after the holidays so we can really talk and catch up!

    Now sssshhhhhhh…. if you know mom,  keep the shoot a secret and don’t post it on her FB wall or anything. It’s a gift for her husband as well. I don’t know how long the secret will last, but it’s a surprise for as long as it can be.

    The kids were awesome and so filled with personality which shines thru in the pictures.

    Miss M is the artist of the family- must have been fate that we found this cool graffiti. And could it match her shirt any better?!

    Mr. M is a cool dude. He was just so chill and easy going for the whole time.

    And little Miss L was such a total pip. And looks EXACTLY like her mom. And I mean exactly.

    Great seeing you and meeting the kids. Enjoy your pictures!!

    the pola family

    Had a great time photographing this super fun family at Hempstead Lake. The backstory: they came to me thru a number of other bsquared clients, but as it turns out Dad knows John and they used to bartend together on occassion. Cue the its a small world music.

    Love these two shots. Especially the little hands at the bottom of the left one!

    The kids were great and super photogenic. The little one was way shy, but came around eventually.

    the turn in studio 10-09

    Last week I had the always fun opportunity to photograph The Turn in the studio, where they are starting to record their 3rd (yet to be titled) album. I’ve heard a bunch of the new songs at recent shows and they are so awesome! The new album is going to ROCK!

    web723

    This studio session was mostly about getting the drums (Chris) and the bass (Brian H) recorded.  Wow, those boys can really play!

    Brian on vocals and guitar. In the funky red isolation booth. And we noticed that his shirt is the same shirt he wore at the last recording session I photographed during The December Sessions.

    The Turn is once again working with ‘General’ George Fullan to produce and engineer their album. George was anti-pictures that night due to a total lack of sleep for a few days beforehand (I think he said it was like something around 8hours of sleep in 3 days due to work commitments). But I caught him a tiny bit in one. Sorry George!

    It’s great seeing them all work together to make everything sound perfect.

    To see all of the pictures from the studio, please click HERE.

    And if you are interested in catching the band at one of their shows, here’s the latest calendar card I made for them.
