the ditc family
Well, three quarters of the family anyway. My fav girls (the daughters I’ll never have) make another bsquared blog appearance and you know I’m so happy to have the chance to take their photos again! This year, at the beach. Woohoo!!
Super glam. Love it!
Gorgeous. Both of them.
I didn’t even ask them to do this.
Barn on the beach? Ok, yes please.
Grabbed a few with their very pretty and sweet mom! 
Is it possible that they get more gorgeous every year? 
Yummy lens flare. 
Thanks girls!! Hey, can we do it again next week?! -
6 for Sunday
Don’t know if I have enough to make it to 6, but I’ll give it a try.
1. We had a hurricane. Timmy was all prepared. I mean, really. What else could you need besides a pair of comfy Star Wars pj’s, an industrial size vat of pretzels and a pair of flippers? Hurricane preparedness? He’s got it.
2. And then after the hurricane (like a few days after) when it was just a little rainy, we lost power. So, we had hail, an earthquake, a hurricane and we lose power from a little rain. Yeah, I don’t get it either.
3. Due to the stupid hurricane, the boys got totally ripped off out of their birthday party. I felt so bad for them. We were going to have a few friends to the country club for swimming and cake but Irene came and then the club was closed down for a few days. Perhaps the giant tree across the entire entrance to the pool was a problem. And their BFF was coming from Michigan and would have been at the party, but then they cancelled their trip due to the hurricane too. So no birthday party 🙁 John did take them, Timmy and 2 friends (Johnny and Liam) to the Mets game that night and then they slept over. Well, not exactly slept but they were over until 11am the next day.
4. Had a great time yesterday at Heather and Andy’s wedding (my sister in law’s sister). It was so nice to be a guest instead of a photographer. It was a super fun place (a beer garden) and some people who will remain nameless were overserved. Didn’t even bring the camera, all pix from the iphone. And photobooth.
5. I miss the beach and the summer. It got cold so fast and I’m not ready. The wrist warmers are not far from coming back out.
6. I know I’ve mentioned it a few times, but REALLY this time- the fabulous new frames I’ll be offering will be on the blog this week. And a frame giveaway is coming too- so stay tuned!! Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

tina’s sweet 16
Held at Leonards of Great Neck, it was quite the party! Tina was a princess and seemed to have a fantastic time at her “ball”. Loved the dress and all the coordinating colors throughout the venue and the family’s outfits, even the lighting! Thanks for letting me share in your day Tina! And happy birthday!!
Making her grand entrance on the arms of her big brothers. 
Proud mom.
A cinderella cake fit for a princess.
Dancing with Dad.
The candle lighting was so lovely and you could see that Tina worked really hard on her speeches for each candle. She even made herself cry a few times!
Hoping all your wishes come true!

diana @ yoga
After taking my friend Marianne’s headshots and images of her at work, her colleague sent me an email for her own session. I was so glad she did as she was wonderful to photograph and an amazing person. We had some fun in her yoga studio and around the neighborhood. Diana had such a nice and genuine way about her and I can imagine she’s a great yoga instructor. If you have the chance to take a class with her, she’s at the Yoga and Polarity Center in Malverne. She invited me to try one, but that probably won’t be until January!

the griff family
I met Judy not too long ago and we became fast facebook friends. She owns her own nutrition and wellness business and is so good at what she does- very inspirational with tips and ideas shared every day. Those of you who know me, that whole scene isn’t so much for me but I do try when I can, especially with Judy’s encouragement! I was so happy when she booked a session with me so I could sort of pay her back with something I could do for her. So here she is with her awesome family!
We got the shoot in right before the hurricane hit, but the ocean was already all churned up and wavey.
The boys. Starting high school and middle school this year. Big changes. 
And the pretty girls who are in their sophomore year of college and senior year of high school. 
Grandma & Grandpa joined us for just a few pictures.
Believe it or not, he landed on his feet. 
The bugs at this point in the shoot were like a swarm. They were everywhere, and it was disgusting. But the ‘models’ really did awesome and just pretended that they weren’t there. For a minute anyway.
Thanks for a great session!! Hope you enjoy your photos!
