We headed to Branch Brook Park, in Newark NJ the weekend of the cherry blossom festival. My intention was to photograph my daughter for her second year birthday portraits at this park. I figured it would be a nice way to celebrate the season she was born in, plus pink happens to be her favorite color. So we packed up and headed out at sunset (a very bad time in our house considering we have a 2 year old and a 6 month old). But we went anyway because I'm a photographer and I needed to get the best shot. Scarlett was a difficult subject to say the least. I was sweating and bribing her with everything I had. In the end, the bubbles kept her mildly entertained and I was able to capture a few shots I love. But when I got home and looked at them all, I though she just looked "off." Turns out she was on the brink of a very bad cold. So all I see when I look at her face is a sick little girl. But still, the lighting- the dress- the trees- are too breathtaking. I'm compelled to share! Hope you enjoy this little snippet in to my original idea for her "second birthday portraits."
Yes, its that time of year again! My daughter turns 2 today...what?!? Yes. Its true. Shocking, yet true. The past few months have been a blast now that she talks up a storm (the facial expressions during her stories KILL me every time). What a fun, crazy (tiring) and entertaining experience this thing they call motherhood is. Happy birthday my precious baby girl!
Today I met up with baby girl, Charlie. A whole year has passed since we saw each other, and what a personality this little lady has! We chose to do the shoot at Branch Brook Park since the cherry blossoms are finally in bloom. What better than to celebrate her birthday while capturing the seasons blossoms, right? So happy with the outcome!
This weekend I met up with these two cutie pies. It was great to see the family again, and to meet the newest addition. Watching the brothers interact and play together was adorable, there's nothing like sibling love!
This weekend I photographed Sophia, the newest member of her family. Watching the interaction between the siblings was beautiful and I believe we captured the spirit of the day. Hope you enjoy!
My very good friend had a beautiful baby boy 3 months ago. Today was the special day I got to take his portraits along with his sister and brother. So happy with our outcome!
This past weekend I met up with Isabel for her 1 year shoot. We were able to mix it up with some indoor portraits and a few quick-and chilly- outdoor shots. The changes that take place from 
So, now that I've had 2 babies in the past year and a half (insanity)- I've decided that I think its time to offer a new kind of shoot: in-hospital documentation.
I was super excited to get out earlier this month to do a wintery engagement shoot with my brother and his fiance. We planned the shoot just after a snow storm so the ground was fresh with the white fluffy stuff. The approach to the shoot was to keep it fun while mixing traditional portraits with more natural candid shots. Hope you enjoy the snippet of wintery love.
Just sending out an update....we had our baby boy last week! He arrived over a week late, but was well worth the wait. Here are a few pictures of him taken today....hope you are all well and looking forward to seeing you in 2014!
Hey guys!
I totally enjoyed my photo session this week at the Madison train station. Since the setting is relatively monochromatic, their mom dressed them in similar tones with a hint of bad ass. I'm going to go ahead and say that its awesome and I loved downloading and looking at all of these gems.
Today I met up with Luca and Nico for their annual portraits. Love spending time with these guys, and I love to photograph their handsome faces! We had a great time exploring the arboretum, climbing trees and telling stories. Totally happy with the results, hope you are too....
Here are some portraits with little miss Julie- I can't believe an entire year has gone by since our last session. What a cutie pie, and what an amazing head of hair! Here are some faves with her family and adorable sister Josie in celebration of her first birthday!
Sunday's shoot involved a rather fun situation - a pillow fight. Kind of think this was more exciting for the parents and for me. Love the idea, and love the results. Hope it leaves you inspired!
This weekend I got to do something a little different for my family photo shooting. On Saturday I met up with some friends for their annual family portraits, and after we captured their traditional images- we moved inside for some breakfast. Every weekend these guys all get together in the kitchen to whip up some delicious pancakes- as a family. What better than to capture this tradition and the memories they make on camera, right?! I'm loving how they turned out, and I might have to copy this idea and do the same when my little ones are old enough. Enjoy!
Today I met up with Juliette and her family for her photo debut. It was great to meet her - she was a sweet angel. It seems like just yesterday we were doing her mothers maternity shoot in Central Park- and now here she is! So glad she gave me a smile, I love when we capture that expression. Hope you enjoy our little sneak peak!
This week I met up with Brad, Colleen and Bridget for their annual family portraits. I really enjoy working this these guys, they are so sweet and easy to shoot. We got lots of keepers from our time together and here are just a handful of my favorites...
