When I first met Benjamin’s parents, they described their little guy as a super smiley baby. On the day of our session, it was clear he wasn’t his usual cheerful self and we decided to call it quits a bit early. His mom told me later that he spiked a high fever shortly after we wrapped up. Even though I knew we captured some lovely pictures of him that morning, I didn’t want mom and dad looking back at the images only to be reminded of how sick Benjamin was that day. So I came back a couple of weeks later for a redo. Sure enough, he proved to have one of the best smiles of any baby I’ve ever photographed with a huge grin in every single picture. Actually the selection of images below are a mix from both the first and second takes, but I don’t think anyone but mom, dad, and me can tell which ones are from the day he wasn’t feeling well.

I last saw Vivienne for when she turned one. She continues to be an absolute joy to photograph. This was another great session at the Franciscan Monastery. I’m so excited that I’ll have some more opportunities in the coming months to see her with the impending arrival of a new baby brother or sister!

What better way to make good use of a tuxedo purchased for a wedding that would otherwise never be needed again: holiday photos! Another fun session at the Franciscan Monastery with Tyler, one of my favorite subjects.

Falling behind in my blog posts again…
Here’s the first from a few sessions that I did at the Franciscan Monastery for the holidays with the K Family. Check out how much little brother Adam has grown since last year.

I’ve been woefully delinquent in updating my blog in the past couple of months, but I’ve got a lot of fun photos to share to bring the blog up to date.
First up is the lovely Lucy! I first photographed her a little less than a year ago. She’s gotten even more adorable since then, brimming with personality and a sense of humor. She kept cracking herself up, and me and her parents too, doing funny little things like walking backwards over and over again, reading books, and cuddling with a favorite stuffed animal. If you look closely in the top right corner of first picture below, you can see a lovely framed photo from our first session.
Like most schools in the area, my son’s preschool holds an annual fundraising auction. What better way for me to help in the effort (and help my son in the process) than to donate a gift certificate for a photo session and lovely gallery wrap. In an amazing coincidence, the family who won the certificate (who are from Maryland and are parents to the lovely school-aged girl below) happen to be good friends with another of my fave clients (who live in Virginia and are parents to a one-year old) and bid on my session without realizing that I was the same photographer who had photographed their friends. It must have been fate!
Last Saturday evening at the appointed time, we had just enough of a break in the hot, steamy weather (if you can count a drop in humidity and a few degrees to the low-90s as a “break”) to proceed. I know Hannah was looking forward to her photo shoot. With tree climbing and bubble blowing, she was a trooper in spite of the heat and the late hour.

It was with great excitement and joy that I finally got to spend time again with my dear friend and her adorable 4-month-old baby boy, both of whom I had not seen since he was about a week old. We’d been planning to do a photo session together since before he was born and we wanted to wait until it was warm enough to keep him outside comfortably. I don’t make it home to New York City very often anymore so our opportunities have been few and far between. As luck would have it, the weather didn’t cooperate and we only had about 20 minutes of shooting time. On the other hand we got to spend several hours just hanging out and being together (which was not nearly enough time). Luckily, I’ll have many opportunities in the years to come to make more images of him starting with another session in the next few months when he’s able to sit up on his own. Love you, Faryu!!!

I’m finally back online after a power surge blew out my internet during the crazy thunderstorms last weekend. Sophia’s parents have been waiting patiently to see their sneak peek, so without any further ado, here she is! Enjoy!

My most recent newborn session was with baby Chloe and family. She barely opened her eyes the whole time I was with her, even with exuberant big brother Carson and big sister Camryn right by her side. I was extremely impressed with how calm and collected mom Carese was from the moment I arrived, juggling having all three kids at home for the group photos at the beginning and then getting the older two off to school and a play date without seeming the slightest bit frazzled. It was great meeting you all!
