Siblings!

I love these kids! They are just beautiful and they were so much fun to photograph. They have such polite and sweet manners to match their adorableness! We shot in a field of wildflowers just across from my house and E, K, & R discovered what we thought were possibly butterfly eggs and spittlebug nests in the field. The girls caught me up on their end of the school year projects and what they were planning for the summer. Thank you so much A & S.  I have been meaning to post these sooner, but here they are. (These 3 shots were displayed as newer shots in my tent at the Branford Festival this year!)

Twins Christening

Baptisms are such beautiful celebrations... Here are a few shots from A and S's Christenings a few Sundays ago. They looked like little porcelain dolls in their gowns! Congrats to the Z family on a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. Your little ones are already blessed with a mommy and daddy like you. God Bless.

Happy 1st Fathers Day, Ryan! 2011

"A good father makes all the difference in a child's life. He's a pillar of strength, support and discipline. His work is endless and, oftentimes, thankless. But in the end, it shows in the sound, well-adjusted children he raises." 
A very Happy First Father's Day to my husband today - and to all fathers! Ryan is a loving, dedicated daddy and I am proud of him, and I know Liam will be too when he is old enough to understand what it means to be a great dad. xoxo

Welcome Beautiful Baby C!

Welcome beautiful baby "C"- What a sleeping beauty she is! She is a lucky little girl with two great brothers, a sweet sister and great parents all there to teach her the ropes and love her. It was a pleasure spending the afternoon with the "D" Family at their lovely home. Little "C" was perfectly sleepy from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, other than a few feedings in between. She did wonderful. Congrats & also a special thank you to "E" who purchased this session as a baby gift. I can't think of a longer-lasting gift than photos of this special time. Here are a few from the shoot:

Double the Cuteness!

These fresh, flowery portraits were from a double family session I shot back in the Spring. Twin cutie pies "A" and "S" were around 4 months old here. Their mommy and daddy dressed them up so pretty. I love the little sweaters with their dresses! Thank you "S" and "B" for a lovely morning with your precious girls. I'm looking forward to photographing them again soon. Here are some of my favorites:

JC's 1st Birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday to JC! (Liam's second cousin) 


JC's 1st birthday party was dinosaur-themed and filled with lots of other little people, along with family and friends. We traveled to NJ to spend a fun-filled backyard afternoon with our family to celebrate JC's very special milestone birthday. It was a blast! "J" and "S", thank you a wonderful afternoon. We hope JC had a great time! Here are a few shots from the party...

Welcome Gorgeous Newborn Baby "J"!

Oh my! Baby "J" has the most gorgeous crop of thick, surfer-blonde hair on a newborn that I have ever seen. His Mommy told me the nurses at the hospital were fighting over who would care for him and I can easily see why. Hahaa. What a cutie!

Little "J" was very wide-eyed and alert most of the time I was photographing him and he started to close those big baby blues as I was packing up my stuff - figures! He reminds me of how alert my son was as a newborn. This shoot was more of a challenge for me because we dealt with unusually low light, thanks to a dark morning sky full of raindrops. Luckily, J's mommy has a beautiful kitchen skylight that provided some great opportunities for lighting in some shots. 


Congrats "E" & "P" on a second beautiful son. You make seriously beautiful children and "E", it was awesome to see you after all these years since high school! Here are a few shots to view.

check out all that awesomely thick blonde hair!!!
