the kenn family {mini session}
A new to bsquared family who is of course somehow related to Mary Ellen ( you know how all roads lead back to Mar, right? I’ve blogged about this before.) cousins, I think. They were gifted with a session and I was so happy to meet them and photograph them. Baby Jack was a cutie pie but still not really sure what to make of me and my camera. Coaxed some smiles out of him (with the help of daddy and the squeaky rubber giraffe) and adored his hat.

the rose family {mini session}
Although I’ve known this family (or at least parts of this family) for a while thru the boys and sports, this was my first time photographing them. We tried for a session last year but that just didn’t happen, so I was really happy we got it in this year. And as these things go, they are now one of my new favorites! Plus the fact that I saw their daughter twice last weekend at the Bat Mitzvah I shot, it was like a bonus!

the baga family {mini session}
So happy to photograph this family again this year. The girls have grown up so much since we first started together (and the little one was eating leaves like potato chips in the backyard) and they were so super for the shoot- we got so much done in such a short period of time.

the smi family
My very last beach shoot of the season, and wow- what a way to end it! I really love photographing this family (and have many times now) and they are so gorgeous. Even the dog. But that’s not really why the shoot was so memorable. We had a squall. A real true full on 30mph winds, sideways rain, blowing sand, can’t see 2ft infront of you storm from hell. I totally wish I was able to take pictures of all of us looking like drowned rats running, screaming in the sideways rain but I needed my camera to be working for more shoots after this one. The rain was so totally horizontal that my back was soaked (like ring it out dripping soaked) and my front was perfectly dry. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Just as we were wrapping up in the dunes, it started to rain. Just regular rain. So we hightailed it to the cars to wait it out. Mr.C wanted a picture of him in the rain. So I took one (if you look closely you can see lots of raindrops all over the photo below)
Then when it stopped, we ran down to the ocean for our last pictures. We could see the rain coming in- we just didn’t know what kind of rain it was at the time…
And then it hit the fan.Thanks for a great session (although rainy and quite the adventure in weather!) and I love that your session was my last beach one of the year.

mary-kate & tom {first look & portraits}
I was so happy that M-K & Tom opted for a first look (when the bride and groom see eachother before the ceremony). We were able to get some fantastic shots of them and their wedding party before the chaos of the rest of the evening rolled in. It was great seeing the look in their eyes when they saw eachother. So sweet.
I loooove this shot that Kate captured.
Kate hard at work. Sometimes we double as boutineer repinners. 
I guess I’m really happy when the pictures go the way I want them to!
Here’s the actual first look.
