    Their oldest girl goes to school with Jack & Patrick, and John knows mom from back in the day.

    Dad is a fireman. Couldn’t pass up the perfect prop that was there specifically for our shoot.

    They were really a lot of fun to photograph and although the littlest lost interest pretty quickly, we still got some great stuff.

    I think this one should be the Christmas Card.

    Timmy is the proud receipient of many of J’s handmedowns. Thanks Mr. J. There is something just so totally BOY about the baseball glove shot- love that.

    I had a great time taking your pictures! (and a special shout out to Miss C, who really hammed it up for me like crazy, much to her whole family’s surprise!).

    the raic girls

    web113

    This is one of those “I can’t believe it’s you” stories. Mom and I were really good friends back in elementary school (K-3rd grade until I moved) and I saw her name on another completely unrelated friend’s Facebook page. So I messaged her…and well, the rest is photographic history.

    I tried to find a picture of she and I from way back in the day, but the photo album is at my mom’s somewhere and I couldn’t find it in time to post the pictures. So if I do dig it up, I’ll post it in January when things calm down.

    Her girls are the cutest, most outgoing, sweet, polite kids. Like ever. I loved every minute of taking their pictures. They were game for everything and anything I suggested and were just plain old fun!

    Loved all the colors and textures during this shoot. They just made me happy.

    It was the crazy windiest day that day and everyone’s hair was going everywhere. I tried to keep us out of the wind, but sometimes it just didn’t work out. Still made the pix look good though!

    the schn family

    Please excuse the fact that I’m a little short on words today. Went out last night for dinner with my friend and then met some more friends at a bar to see ‘my’ band. Have a shoot this morning and then a jammed packed day with the boys, and then a family wedding (attending, not shooting) upstate tonight. Just trying to get everyone’s pictures on the blog asap. And this family has a lot of pictures to blog.

    This very sweet family met me at a local park for a photoshoot with a built in picnic. Mom brought the whole awesome set up, including homemade lemonade, homemade chocolate lollipops (why there was not one with a B on it, I’m not sure), and a whole spread of stuff. It was so great and they look right out of a magazine. Dontcha think?

    Just have to throw out a special nod to dad who not only was fasting for the holiday that day, but had a terrible sinus infection on top of not eating. He was a real trooper and stuck it out for the shoot. Go dad!

    Thanks again, schn family. I had a great time (and maybe next time you’ll have a chocolate lollipop for me too. I’ll give you extra pictures for free…)

    the altm family {mini session}

    Such a put together family.

    web47

    Not only is mom a teacher at the big boys school, but her little girl and Timmy were in the same nursery school class last year and were great friends. They still go to the same school, but different classes this year. But we always get a great big HELLO from little Miss A in the hallways.

    web28

    She’s seriously the cutest littlest pip.

    The funniest thing is that later in the day of their shoot, I did a shoot for one of mom’s students. I told her so, and I think it freaked her out (the student, not the teacher) a little.

    While I shot this family recently in the park, they were looking for a beach shoot to end the season with.

    I’m finding we have limited time with this little boy, so I’ve learned to work fast around him.

    Like really fast!

    Mom and Dad are so good looking!

    One of Mr. C’s  nicknames is apparently Donald (as in Trump) because of the wild hair. The wind helped out with this one.

    Great seeing you as always. Glad we had a happier session this time around!
