Behold! The first shoot from the LBI family beach portrait sessions.
As you can see, the shoot consists of a family reunion style portrait. They were all gathered together in a sweet beach house filled with tons of laughter and little ones running around. Our shoot took place at sunset, which is not an easy task for any parent of small children. But in between the chaos and occasional melt downs due to exhaustion- we managed to get some amazing portraits. And in the end, the memories made at the beach on this night will forever be etched in their minds--in a good way. Enjoy the preview!
Yesterday evening I met up with Chase and his family for his 1 year portraits. We had tried this a few weeks earlier, but it was crazy windy at the beach so we had to cancel. And yesterday, as I pulled in to the parking lot of the beach, guess what? It started to rain. What are the odds?! Luckily, it was a fast moving rain storm and once the clouds parted, we had a gorgeous evening. We even had a rainbow! In the end, it was well worth the wait.
Today was the first time EVER that I had to pull the plug on a shoot after it began. I met with Chase and his family for his 1 year portraits at Sandy Hook beach with big plans of balloons, sand, ocean, and lots of fun. But the wind was crazy and it started to rain, so sadly we had to stop. I did manage to get this cute shot. I couldn't resist sharing. Stay tuned for pictures of this little guy in a few weeks. Happy birthday, Chase!
Here is the final beach shoot I did this past week. It was with our good friends, their parents and nephew. We got plenty of fabulous portraits, and I love that you can feel the happiness in these pictures. Enjoy!
Another mix of beach and backyard fun from the Hamptons shoots this past week with Lucas and Penelope. I'm switching it up this time with black and white beach shots...some times it just feels so right!
This past week was spent shooting families in LBI and the Hamptons (yes, I love my job). Here are one of my families from the Hamptons beach shoots. We had a beautiful evening and were able to take portraits at their house and at the beach. I love both settings so much, I just can't pick a favorite. Hope you enjoy these cuties!
There's nothing quite like a baby at the beach in the summertime, and here's a perfect example. Loving that polka dot bathing suit, and those gorgeous hazel eyes!
Today I met up with three super cute kids for their annual portraits. The morning light was soft and golden, which worked beautifully with everyone's summery outfit. I hope the images help inspire you for your next summertime beach shoot!
Earlier this week I met up with Mackenzie and her parents and Godmother for a sunset beach photo shoot. It was a nice break from this heatwave we've been in, to be shooting along the shore. Our evening was really fun, and we got lots of great shots. Mackenzie definitely knows how to work it for the camera!
On Thursday morning I met up with Anna and her mom at their beach house in Amagansett. The last time I saw Anna was 1 year ago, for her 
This week I headed to East Hampton for some summer beach shoots. My first portrait session of the week was with Asher and his parents. We met early in the morning at 
This weekend we visited with some friends in Connecticut (they live in a beautiful area, right on the water...irresistible to my camera). The morning fog looked really cool lifting off the water, so we went outside where Charlie and Potter (the dog) could play. Loved how the shots came out-enjoy!
