Mookie’s Shoot

Tonight I headed to Taylor Park in Millburn, NJ to meet up with this wonderful family who traveled all the way from Russia! These guys were jet lagged, but you'd never know it from their pictures..... mookie51

Max’s First Photo shoot

This past Friday I met Nathan's new brother Max at their home in Connecticut. We started indoors for some studio shots, but also had to take advantage of the fall foliage and warmer temps. The shoot was tons of fun and Nathan did a fantastic job of taking pictures with his baby brother. Here are some shots..... alana1

Fall Portrait Day

landscape2 Another successful fall portrait day in Connecticut has come and gone. I would like to thank my clients for making it possible, I really appreciate seeing the families and the kids each year. The leaves have begun to change, and it was sunny and crisp outside-the perfect ingredients for our shoot. This year I chose Southford Falls in Southbury, Connecticut. Its a great place for a picnic or hike. Here are some of the pictures from the day--enjoy!

Mason at the Park

Today I met Mason and his mom at their house and then we headed over to a local park. The last time I saw Mason was 1 year ago and he was just learning how to sit up-boy have things changed. Now he's all about walking around and investigating the scene. Here are some shots of him...loving the color of his hair against the grass,-its fabulous! mason1

Joe's Shoot

This Saturday I had the opportunity to meet an adorable *almost 2 year old* named Joe. He was totally excited to have his picture taken when I showed up, which made my job really easy and lots of fun. We started indoors with some editorial shots, then did an outfit change and headed outside to the yard to play and of course, to capture the great light. joe2

Emily at 7 months

On July 1st, I met DeAnne and Scott at the Rockefeller State Preserve just past Sleepy Hollow (Tarrytown), NY. I'd been there in the fall for a family photo shoot and loved the backdrop it provided for pictures. There is a pretty lake and a large open meadow, along with fun little wooded paths to work with. Although I did get a speeding ticket on my way to meet them (my first ever)...the trip was totally worth it. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.... emily1

Holy Rollers

Today we tried out something a little different-as far as a communion photoshoot goes. We headed out to a local park in Hoboken and got some really beautiful shots with the blooming flowers and trees. On the way home, we spotted this brick wall and I had to use it. I think it looks like Ashely is in a foreign country in these shots. Fantastic! ashley
