Ok..sorry for the bad pun. But it was a perfect morning for a beach portrait session on LBI with this adorable 2 year old girl! I’m not a morning person, but obviously my model was… she was on the go and so fun to follow around. We had the beach all to ourselves, too (except for a few seagulls and joggers). Here are a few favorites including some precious moments with her beautiful mommy…

Everytime I do a newborn photo session, I am reminded of what an incredible time of life this is. Cherish these early years…they go by in a flash. My boys are 6 and 8 and their newborn days seem like a lifetime ago. But I love that in my job I get to relive the wonder of the newborn stage…
Only 6 days young for his photo session, this beautiful boy was so comfortable being held by his father that we decided to capture the moment. I love this first one… The beautiful knit with the heart shaped button is by Mamique and if anyone’s in the market for some gorgeous newborn wear, then go straight to their blog after this!
In the meantime, enjoy the sweetness of this little guy…

I’m not gonna lie…this could’ve been my most challenging newborn to date. He did NOT want to go to sleep or stay asleep. Could’ve been because he was past the two week mark; could’ve been he was overtired; could’ve been he was nervous about his debut photo shoot. Whatever the reason…you’re totally forgiven, buddy! Good things come to those who wait…and I’d say our patience paid off. He is an absolute beauty… Thanks for hanging in there mom and dad!

I am so happy and excited to be doing summer beach sessions at LBI again this year!! It’s one of my favorite places on earth!
On the day of this session, it was beautiful and sunny. Then all of a sudden, right before our scheduled time, the clouds came rolling in and next thing you know it was POURING. An hour later, sunshine! It just goes to show that it pays to roll with the weather… This family was so sweet and I could tell from talking to mom that LBI is as magical a place for her as it is for me. We both spent summers here as kids and now we’re creating special memories with our own children. When she asked me to capture some special beach moments of her family, I knew how much this session meant to her. I hope I’ve captured some of the magic of LBI for you guys..more to come!

We’re starting to celebrate Memorial Day early with some red, white and blue! You may remember this little guy from a session I did with him in February when he was just 3 months old. This time, I had the extreme pleasure of meeting his adorable sister and brother so we could get the three of them together. And how cute are they??? They were great models, too. Easy to joke around with and make laugh, although I did have to enlist big sister to get her baby brother to smile for us one last time at the end of the session…I think it worked!

My first day back from a week long photography workshop (amazing, btw), and although I could’ve used a rest, I was very inspired and ready to get back to work. I got a last minute call from this family to photograph their newborn… He is an absolute beauty as you can see, and so are his brother and sister.
I really love this first one with proud big sister holding him…

I’ve always preferred big dogs…little dogs were yappy, and I figured you might as well just get a cat (ok – I’m KIDDING!) But a couple of weeks ago, everything changed; I fell in love with a Yorkie! My family and I went up to New Haven, Connecticut to visit some good friends and we met this latest addition to their family. Her name is Luna. We brought our dog, Izzy, who is 10 months young with lots of puppy energy…and BIG! She might have been a little overwhelming for this little lady at times, but all in all the dogs did pretty well together. My kids loved Luna and are already talking about getting a second dog…and I’m seriously thinking about it. What’s one more mouth to feed?

How can you resist this face???
We broke it all out for this one year old…balls, bubbles, planes, even flipping monkeys! (And I mean monkeys that flip…) I met this boy for the first time one year ago, when I did his newborn session. I said he was beautiful then, and he’s only gotten more so…
