the guid family
Met this good looking family over at Planting Fields in Oyster Bay. I love shooting there- it’s so pretty. And if you can stomach the $100 permit fee they charge, it’s well worth it.

The kids were so cute, both with big sparkly eyes.



It was next to impossible getting one of the two of them together (they are so little and at ages where bribery dosen’t really work yet) but we got one. And one is all you need. But two is better.


He just got finished eating some dirt and along with the teething drool, I couldn’t pass up the picture.

So nice meeting you guid family. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

the zutt family

This is one of my cousin-in-laws 50 sisters (okay, so there are 8 really, but it sure seems like 50!) and her gorgeous family. I was so excited (and a little nervous too) to do a shoot with older kids, quite a change of pace for me.


They are all so gorgeous and ridiculously photogenic.





And fun!

Mom and Dad are no slouches either! (dontcha love the kids messing around in the background?)

I had such a great time working with them. It was a beautiful night. So beautiful that the boys decided it was a good night for a swim.



Using the flash isn’t my thing if I can help it, but I had to get the unbelieveable sunset in the shot. So the flash went on for one. It pained me to do it, but it was worth it in the end.


Thanks again for everything zutt family! To see all of the images from the shoot, please click HERE.

the cami family
This shoot did not start off well. At all.

We arrived at our chosen location only to find that 1. the park closed in 1/2 an hour and 2. we needed a permit to shoot there. (I had shot there before and didn’t need a permit that time, so I don’t know what the deal was with that!). So we had to make a last minute substitution on the location and drive a bit to get there. Thankfully, this family was SO awesome and so easy going that it wasn’t as big a deal as it could’ve been. And thankfully, the pictures still came out awesome even with the second choice location.


The kids were so great and go-with-the -flow types. And only slightly photogenic.

The littlest one was no too interested in looking at the camera much, but we have ways around that!

Love the sparkle in her eyes.


And this one- quiet and SO smart. Not to mention a handsome young man.

A rather good looking family, no?



Thanks again, cami family for being so flexible and good natured about the whole debacle.

the enck family
Blog stalkers followers may recognize this family from a recent Christening (not theirs but the mom was the godmother). Had a great time meeting up with them at their home for a photoshoot.

The baby was not so into me, the bright light outside, or the camera but we somehow got a little smile here and there. He was so so cute! Loved the squishy, pink cheeked sleeping one too.




The little girl was so sweet and delicious in her little playhouse her daddy & grandpa built and in her pretty pink tutu.





Aren’t they just a happy little bunch?


Thanks for your hospitality and fun, enck family! To view all the pictures from this session, please click HERE.

the miracle baby {eoin}
My best friend from University of Miami, Robin, had baby Eoin (pronounced Owen) on the day she started her 25th week of her pregnancy with him. It was so scary and the outcome was so very unsure. But after 2 days shy of 4 months in the NICU up at Yale, it gives me SUCH pleasure to show all of you his pictures today (a nice birthday present for me and something positive on this otherwise very sad day).


He is doing so wonderfully, all of his tests are coming back totally great! He is truly a miracle. He’s on some supplemental oxygen but the very lowest setting and it’s not as life support or anything, but just to help him out a little and to keep him from working hard at breathing so he can use that energy to grow and eat. Oh, and smile!


Robin told me last night that he is now tipping the scales at 7.5lbs (he was just 2lbs when he was born in April).

He’s totally interactive and looks right at you when you talk to him. I’m thrilled that he likes his ‘blankie’ from Aunt Beth as Aunt Robin bought Timmy his blankie. Its now a tradition.


Robin couldn’t be more in love or happier that Eoin is home and doing great.


And before anyone says anything about Joe not being in the picutes, he was out doing errands and got back like 2 minutes before I left. Next time for daddy! Oh, and if Joe was there, we probably couldn’t have used the apple hat that Robin wanted.

Joe and Robin, thank you SO much for letting me visit (I’ll be staying away for a while now that my walking petri dishes are back in school cause I don’t want to bring any of those germs to Eoin). Can’t wait to see him again and watch him grow and get stronger.
