Met this sweet little family down at the beach (tis the season and all..) for a photoshoot. They came out from NYC for the shoot (thanks!!) because when they originally called me for a shoot in August when they were LIVING in Pt. Lookout- when it would have been so easy for them- I was taking the month off. But we did manage to get the beach shoot in anyway, with a bit of travelling on their part. Hope you think it was worth it.

Love the little man and his trucks. Really, how cute is he??

Although this blue bldg has been there forever, I just used it for the first time in this shoot. New love!

And you know how I adore a family who will go with all of my crazy ideas. Like sitting in the middle of the street.

Here is the second shoot being posted today as promised. Don’t forget to page down to see today’s other blog installment.

Little Miss M was gifted a bsquared shoot by her aunt (who’s pictures I’m doing this weekend) for her very special 1st birthday.

Can you believe how this little one has grown since last year??!! I have been taking pictures of her since before she was born, and I am her personal paparazzi. She has always given me the best eyecontact (even as a 2wk old newborn) and that hasn’t changed one bit. She still seems to ham it up for my camera. I know mom thought we didn’t get a single good picture this shoot (there were a few tears in there) but she rocked it again! Happy birthday, Miss M!! Can’t wait to keep watching you grow!

Okay, okay…I know I promised last week that I would be posting every single day. I missed yesterday, but I really do have a good excuse as to why. Not only did I have the usual full day with all my kids, errands, playdates, homework, house stuff, etc., but I also had a shoot at the beach AND a shoot for the Turn in the recording studio til 1am last night. So I am feeling every second of my 39 years right now. Recording studio til 1am? Who do I think I am?? But it was sooooo fun! So interesting hearing and watching the songs get "built" and begin to come together. And taking tons of pictures, of course. I had a great time being there and the guys were as fabulous and talented and nice as ever. More on that soon, when I post their pictures from the recording studio though. See, so I really do have a good reason for not posting. But to keep on track, I’ll post twice today, so make sure you check back later today for a second post.

Now on to the "rote" kids at the beach…

Another one of my growing up squared families, I’m sure you will remember these two from shoots past. They are both movers, so getting them together in a picture, smiling and looking is quite a feat in itself! Mom and I were singing "we just got a letter" from Blues Clues at the top of our lungs, while jumping up and down (hey, whatever it takes) to get this one.

The boys were getting hungry and cranky, so we just worked as fast as we could to get in as many keepers as possible. Love all those twinkling eyes and giggles.

Running short on words and shorter on time. So many shoots to edit and still so many more upcoming, so please forgive the lack of usual ‘back story’ for the next few posts til I can catch up. I can let the pictures speak for themselves a bit, right??!

Very briefly: cutie-pie kids, fun family, at Hofstra University (mom’s an alumni) during an Italian festival, fighting off a barrage of mosquitos. But they had fun anyway. Hope the ices were good, K!

This was my first shoot for this lovely family who came to me by way of the syl family who’s session was a few weeks back. The kids were gorgeous and so much fun. They had great eye contact (which I love) and were really good natured, going along with pretty much whatever I asked. We knocked out the kids and family shots first as the boys and dad had a soccer game to get to. Then we concentrated on the beautiful baby girl. 

Love that mom indulged me with my usual crazy baby shots. Hope that you are happy with them. I think this one is my new favorite picture!
