the sile family
This is my videographer, Jerry, the guy behind all the fabulous ‘video your shoot’ movies that have been on the blog since September, and his awesome family who I adore photographing.
It was my 3rd time taking the kids pictures and I always have a great time with them. Even if they think I’m mean and yell at them! (ok, to clarify…at our first shoot, the kids were playing with a stick in their yard and mom (not me) asked them to put it down a zillion times to no avail. Finally, getting totally frustrated, mom (not me)ripped the stick out of their hands and threw it across the backyard. The result of this was tears from the kids. Tons and tons of tears. Over the stick. So, being the mom and photographer that I am I had to take a picture of them hysterically crying. Which their mom loved and it’s still hanging on their fridge to this day. So, somehow the kids forgot the fact that their MOM (not me) is the one who yelled and took their stick away.) So now they think I’m mean. Great.
We had a good time, nonetheless (well, unless they were just scared that I would yell at them) and it was quite interesting watching Jerry go back and forth between videographer and daddy/subject.
Aren’t they so cute? And I loved the jewel tones- they all looked so good!
Mom is a bit under the weather this week so I am hoping this blog post, pictures and video do something to help cheer her up. Feel better, E. And please remind your children that it wasn’t me who yelled at them!!
Jerry and I have a bunch of shoots together this weekend so be on the lookout for a few more videos coming soon.
Make sure your sound is on.

My second year shooting this great and very fun family. The boys are SO amazingly great for me every year and I love seeing them. And taking their pictures.
Mom and Dad aren’t too shabby either.
This is their view from their backyard. On the north shore of Long Island. No, really.
Love the cowboy. And the Yankee. Hmmm…cowboys and yankees. There’s something to that.
Great seeing you all again! Thanks for inviting me back.

the nitk girls {mini session}
Please, please excuse the short blog today. I’m hanging on by a thread and have to keep editing if I’m ever going to get everyone’s pictures done in time for the holidays.
My 3rd time photographing this little lovely. And although she had bigger and better plans on her agenda this day (what they were, I don’t know. But they sure did NOT include getting her picture taken. At all.) we still managed to get a few. Mostly candid, but a few nonetheless.
Thanks D and M! Always great to see you guys!

the back kids {mini session}
If you are a blog stalker you will no doubt remember this family from their older daughters communion that I shot earlier this year.
Mom wanted a few shots for a holiday card, so we did a quick mini session at their home.
One with the very scary, intimidating, vicious dog. (I think he was actually mid-yawn in this one).
All the kids are so good and so easy to photograph. Mr. R isn’t one for the smiles- until we started talking Yankees and that kinda perked him up a little. For a minute anyway.
Thanks everyone. Hope you enjoy your pictures!

the meri family
This was a super fun family which = a super fun shoot.
We rode around in golf carts on a beautiful golf course (their club) on a fantastic morning. How cool is my job? Really.
As soon as mom and I saw eachother we knew we knew eachother from someplace. We had it within 15 minutes- the beach club.
The kids were so cute and fun and up for anything I suggested. I guess riding in golf carts, running all over the golf course, jumping, rolling, golfing, football and playing in the leaves wasn’t too much to ask of them!
When mom and dad agreed to roll down the hill too? I think I fell in love a little! Even in her fabulous white pants, mom did it and did it well!! (but I was only allowed one roll- had to get it in the first take!)
I’m going to let the rest of the post go to the pictures and the video. Yup, this family added on the ‘video your shoot’ option…so perfect for them too!
Hope you enjoy your pictures and video as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Make sure your sound is on.
