Coming down to the wire on the holiday sessions. I was really happy that I ended up with some last minute openings for some sessions so I could fit this family in. I’ve been photographing them for a while now and really enjoy it every time. The boys are so nice and so quiet- so getting a real smile out of them is my only challenge. Mission accomplished, I think!

I’ve photographed this family once before a long time ago down at the beach. Now the youngest boy and Timmy are in the same 1st grade class and the oldest one is their safety patrol 5th grader. So I’m getting to know them all a bit better which is great because they are a really nice family. We had a tough go with Miss G. She was NOT having it- not me, not my camera and not one single picture for a while there. I was starting to get a little panic-y cause not a single of my normal tricks worked with this tough cookie. But she did eventually come around on her own and we got a few keepers. Whew.

A favorite bsquared family that I photographed earlier this year and got to see them again for a mini session. The boys were so good and the cutest little models! I love how the ‘big’ one really watches out for his little brother.

Aaaaand, we’re done. 

While writing this blog post at 2am I’m realizing I’m hardly coherent at this point in the game. Therefore, I’m not going to even attempt any kind of witty narrative, just going to post some pictures for you to look at. Sound good? Ok, then. Look, don’t read.

*Edited to add: Ok, it’s now 11:20am and after going to bed at 3:30 and just getting up about an hour ago I’m slightly more coherent. Slightly. So enjoy the adorable little boys below. They are super cute and although they were finished with me rather quickly on a chilly morning down by the water we did manage a few smiles and giggles anyway.

Just love his little expression here. I’m not sure if I should smile or if you are annoying me.And every time this little guy smiled I had a split millisecond to snap a photo before he layed his head down. Every time. 

A new to bsquared family that I was lucky to photograph at their home in New Jersey early one weekend morning. They were such a pleasure to work with- nice, welcoming, agreeable and fun! Can’t ask for more than that- but they were super photogenic too. And they had great leaves in their yard, too!

On the way to their home I actually saw a deer strolling across the street. It was too early for me to be on the ball enough to take a picture of this deer but it was kinda cool.
