Baby Jackson, Six Months

Oh my gosh, baby Jackson is the cutest super chunk I have ever laid eyes on. We had such a fun session. Carina gave her brother the gift of a moodybaby photos session at their baby shower. I had been waiting to hear from these guys wondering at what age they would want me to come out. So happy they choose six months. I love babies at six months!

Meet super chunk baby Jackson.

Oooh love it. He is like a mini Micheline man!

They still had some awesome color, had to take advantage of that!

So serious!

Love when they try to get my camera!

I snapped this really quick, proud parents looking on.

I think any woman with a child knows this. Ouch!

Story time!

I love the point of view shots.

Yeah! Play time!

Auntie Carina supplied the entertainment behind me.

Thank you Auntie Carina for my moodybaby session!

LOVE it.

You guys were so much fun! Thank you so much for having me out.

Sara & Justin, Brooklyn Engagement Shoot

Sara and Justin are making the first appearance for my 2010 couples! They are getting married in May next year. A few weeks ago I drove up to Brooklyn to shoot their engagement session, we had a great time. I love these guys. When I first met them I also met Tillie. Tillie is their adorable pooch and I was instantly head over heals. I also had a dog, a welsh corgi, named Tillie when I was growing up. How could I not love their Tillie too?!

Tillie did like to take center stage at the beginning.

She also needed an individual shot, obeying the sign.

Seriously.

One more homage to Tillie and Brooklyn.

The steps where it all happened! Long conversations when they first started dating and their fist kiss.

One of my favorites. Sara is a hottie!

They are the cutest.

Another favorite.

So, I have a lot of favorites.

I love the next little series of images.
Sara and Justin are such a great match.
I'm so excited for you guys.

LOVE!

We had the best afternoon.

I can't wait to see you guys again soon.

Melanie & Joe, Married 9-19-09

I just need to preface this post by saying I could have easily posted every single image from the day on the blog! Geesh it was hard to narrow down, there are many many more where these and the slideshow images came from. I just hope the ones I choose do it justice.

Let me start by giving you all of Melanie and Joe's vendors that made their day so beautiful.
Venue & Cake: Nomandy Farm
Flowers: Petals Lane, Brittany always does an amazing job.
Dress: Casablanca, Melanie incorporated a few custom touches as well.
Photobooth: Party Booths
Band: DAME, they always rock the house!
Video: Marc Smiler, Marc did their love story which you can see here.
Make-up: Pasha Cosmetics by Pam Fox
Second Shooter: The one and only Miss Linette! Thank you so much darling! I love having Linette out shooting with me, you will see lots of here photos here too. She got to hang with the boys before the ceremony.
If you want to take a peek back at their engagement session go here.

We will start off with the bouquet. You will notice the detail of the humming bird. The hummingbird has a special meaning to this family. After the passing of Melanies great grandmother a hummingbird started coming around very frequently. The hummingbird seems to visit her family in the most perfect and sometimes strangely coincidental times. It serves as a reminder that they have loved ones always looking down on them. I thought it was a fantastic addition.

Melanies Mom had all of her things strategically laid out for her. I just love this one with the reflection of her dress and the shoes on the dresser.

Beautiful Melanie

The boys huddling in.

Joe excited on the way to the church.

Check out Mel and her ride to the church!

It's all sinking in! Dad is giving his daughter away! Ahh!

The ring barer pillow, so unique.

I love catching little moments with the children.

Married!!

I like to do fun active stuff with my bridal parties, you will see those in the slideshow, I love these candids Linette caught.

One of my favorites. We did portraits at the most perfect time of the day. Not to mention this was the most beautiful day in September!

I think this proves that Joe will do anything, and I mean anything for Melanie.

The car was awesome!

I loved their first dance too. Definitely showed off their individualism, the song in the slideshow is what they danced to.

Love this and check out how ripped Melanie is! Nice muscle tone girl!

I am already wishing I put more images in the slideshow, I know I left out a lot. Their slideshow could have easily been a five minuter if I could do more than one song.
I have to mention that Melanie did such a great job planning out the timing of the day. Not only did we get the very best light of the day but we had plenty of time for all the formals and for their portraits. We were not rushed in any way. We even finished ahead of schedule and they got to attend most of their cocktail hour. It was perfect.

You guys are great. You already know how much fun we had with you. Its been such an amazing experience. Thank you for making me feel so warm and welcome the whole time.

Enjoy your slideshow, I apologize for the one little hiccup in there.
I can't seem to get rid of it.

Baby Anderson, two weeks

Little baby Anderson was the sweetest thing. He was only two weeks old for this shoot and we were fully prepared to have a very sleepy baby. Well, he must have known it was photo-shoot time because this little guy was awake for our whole session. He did a wonderful job and made mom super proud for keeping his eyes open for as long as he did.

Meet baby Anderson

He had a little snack and then some cuddle time with mom.

He has already found his thumb, which he loves.

May be a new favorite.

Quiet time with mom on the bed.

Love this.

He loves the stroke of his moms hand on his face.

"yeah, you know its all good"

Anderson was such a pleasure! He is a cutie pie. Thank you for having me out.

Enjoy your slideshow

The Bernards

Some of you may recognize Julie and Pete from their wedding last year. Well life has surely had some big changes for these two! This past winter Julie gave birth to Preston and Owen, yes they are identical twins! Man are they adorable! Their big brother Logan does a great job of looking after them too.

Logan, like the center of attention? No..... :)

Logan really does do a good job of hanging out with his brothers.

It is quite the event just getting out of the house with twins and a toddler.

Love this of Logan and his T-Rex balloon.

Now, I had the names right the day of the shoot.....but I seriously can't remember who is who. Preston or Owen?

Love this.

Julie just might be super woman.

Pete and all his boys.

Their good friend John stopped by for a few shots too. He and Logan are best buds.

Seriously? This kid couldn't get any cuter.

This is the usual scene in this house.

One more family portrait.

Aren't these two a smoking hot couple?

As per usual, great seeing you guys. Major kudos to you, you certainly have your hands full and you make it look so easy!

Enjoy your Slideshow

Jane & Dave, Married 9-12-09

Jane and Dave had a wonderful and intimate wedding. The weather that weekend had been off and on, but it cooperated for us when we needed it too. I had a wonderful time with these two.

Vendors:
Flowers & overall decor design: Eclatante Event Design, Kendall Brown does amazing work!
Dress: Marisa
Venue: Morris House Hotel, I love the Morris House Hotel. It is the perfect spot for a smaller wedding.
Caterer: Max Hanson, the best lump crab cakes I have had in my life!

Jane's dress was so gorgeous! It was light, simple yet there were so many layers. It looked amazing on her.

Shoes were her own. Nothing bridal about them, but they were super cool.

I LOVE this image of Jane getting into her dress.

Gorgeous!

Lots of emotional moment on this day. I loved the fact that both her parents walked her down the isle.

Married!

Having a little fun in the dress.

One of my favorites.

Dave has such a cool dapper look to him!

I just happen to like this moment.

Eclatante did such an awesome job!!!

First dance.

A new favorite ring shot.

One of the best wedding favors I have seen this year!!

Such a great image to end with.

Baby Gus, One Year

This little guy is near and dear to my heart. Gus is my good friend and former room mate Jill's son. Augustin if we are going by full names. He looks just like Jill with the red curly hair to boot! I had such and awesome day with these guys. I can't wait to do it again. I seriously can't believe he is already a year old. Time flies. Jilly is doing an amazing job, she is such a good mom and will most likely be the funnest mom in the class.

You can see how much he looks up to her.

What a stinking cutie!

Ok, mom. I'm hungry. Lets get this show on the road.

You will never question if he is her child. Gus is the mini male version of Jill.

There are just no words.

Fun times down the slide!

Building trust.

My favorite.

Jilly we need to do this again. I can't go this long without seeing this little guy.

Peace and Carrots, enjoy your slideshow

Baby Alex, One Year

Baby Alex was so much fun to hang out with. He is such an active little boy and so expressive. I was exhausted after this shoot! haha!

Cracking up at Dad with the watering can.

I love this, just the simple pleasure of touch and color.

Such a handsome little man. Loved his t-shirt.

LOVE this one. Just something about it. Maybe its the expression of independence and the assertiveness of a one year old on a mission, I don't know. I love playing with shadows too.

We had a ton of fun on the slides.

The wheel is his favorite part of the playground.

Some fun with mom on the swings.
(Yep, that's my hand in there too. I would tickle him every time he got close.)

LOVE this.

Back to the wheel!

We ended with some story time.

It was great spending the afternoon with you guys. Thank you so much for having me out!

Baby Evie

I am finally getting caught up with the blogging world! I know its been quiet, thanks for being patient.

Well, back in August I had a wonderful time with Melissa, Ben and baby Evie. They were in town for Soyoung & Stephen's wedding and were excited to schedule a shoot. It was a bit of a special occasion. Evie's first birthday and their wedding anniversary all rolled up together at the same time.

Love this little family portrait

Everyone had the biggest smiles all day.

Evie showing us her serious face.

Love this too.

She was very enamored with herself in the mirror.

Too cute!

This little girl was such a star that weekend! A photoshoot of her own and capturing everyone's attention at the wedding.

It was so great spending time with you guys!
