I had a wonderful time this past weekend hanging out with these three cousins! Luci and Mady had been in front of my lens last fall, but this was my first time meeting Mady's little sister Lydia. We had a great time running through the Mines of Spain (or as Luci called it 'this beautiful garden') looking for snakes and monsters. None were to be found this time, but I did walk away with some of my favorite images of the year.
Enjoy!

Every time my little friend Keagan comes into the studio I know that great photos are not far away. This guy just radiates with cuteness and joy. Just look at that smile on the last one! It's been fun watching him grow up from a newborn and seeing the new features form and expressions develop. Can't wait until he's walking and talking.
Enjoy.
It has been raining in the Tri-state area almost every single day for the past two weeks. Great for crops, bad for photos. Luckily we caught a break last Wednesday and I was able to take capture some great images of these girls under a clear blue sky.
There are four girls in this beautiful family total; the youngest, Ayla, was in my studio just about a month ago. You can see here photos HERE. She popped in for a couple with her sisters before going back to sleep in mom's arms. The three older girls were a lot of fun to work with, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about their trips around the country and summer plans as we trekked around their yard.
Enjoy, and here's to another wet Monday!
William has led a photographed life, that's for sure. Only eight months old and he's already been into the studio three times! I love watching him grow in three month intervals. Enjoy a couple from his last session.
My nephew Iain had his very first birthday on Saturday! It was a packed day, full of zoos, sugar and family. Due to other engagements we were only able to make the party at the end of such a busy day, but I think I got a few nice captures nonetheless. I do wish I could have gotten one of Mr. Iain-man and a real lion though!
Here are a couple from Ayla's newborn session. She wasn't thrilled at first about having her photo taken, but after getting some food in her belly, Ayla was in better humor.Hope you enjoy the photos below - isn't she darling?
Scout came into the studio about a month ago for a quick studio session celebrating her 2nd birthday. The resulting images are some of my favorite portraits I've done to date. It's rare to capture such unguarded moments inside (what is to a child) a very foreign environment. Not to mention that she was just bursting with energy and would only sit still for five second intervals. I was so pleased later that day when I was editing to see what was actually captured in my camera.
After minimal probing, I also discovered that her namesake was indeed from "To Kill a Mockinbird'. Fantastic.
They don't make them much cuter than this. Just a couple from Keagan's recent trip into the studio.
Happy Friday everyone!
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last several weeks - lots of year end catching-up and some big changes going on behind the scenes. Here are a whole bunch of little munchkins to keep you going for a little while. I wish I could give each one of these their own post (they definitely deserve it), but unfortunately time is not a luxury I have at the moment. Enjoy the cuteness overload!
Recently I had the opportunity to venture over to the home of Sophie (2 years) and Henry (2 months) for a Candid Kids session. I love to take pictures of children in their home environment where they are comfortable because it takes very little time for them to open up in front of the camera. Sophie hammed it up as she took me from room to room, and we even got some smiles out of Henry with the help of Grandma.
Enjoy!
