Today I met up with Isla and her family for her 1 year photo shoot. I can't believe that it was almost a full year ago that we were taking her newborn photos...oh how time flies! We opted to brave the cold weather and headed outside for our shoot at the Bartlett Arboretum, but after a few minutes, the shivering was a bit much. Luckily, Isla's dad had a FABULOUS idea--to warm up in the greenhouse. Greenhouses may be my new favorite spot for photo shoots now! Here's are some pictures from our time together....
Yesterday afternoon I did a super fun photo shoot with Giuliana, Isabella & Daniel. The moment I walked in to their house and saw their fabulous outfits I was instantly excited and inspired. We opted to keep the black and white theme going and chose the damask background. I'm pretty sure everyone had a blast modeling it up for the camera....here's a little preview:
Today I headed to Scarsdale, NY for a holiday shoot with these two handsome boys. The guys were so cute, and such characters- they kept me entertained from start to finish. Since both were such great models, we were able to get a few "looks" done in a relatively short amount of time. Enjoy the sneak peak!
Last year, after the holidays-I found this fun website with holiday costumes for babies and little children 
Today I met up with Emily and Luke-who just welcomed home their baby sister, Lilly. We started off with some holiday portraits and then moved in to individual pictures of each of them. I loved the fact that Emily was referring to her photo shoot time as her "beauty shots!" Here are some pictures from our morning together....love it!
Today I headed to Manhattan for a photoshoot with Cecilia-who just turned 4 weeks old. She arrived 2 weeks early, I guess she just couldn't wait to meet the world! Luckily, we were able to get her mom's 
Today I met up with Andrew, Maggie, Ella and William for an outdoor holiday shoot. I am so happy that we had such a perfect day...it was a little chilly-but these guys are used to working with me outdoors in chilly temperatures! Here's a little preview to our shoot....
Here is a shoot I recently did with Kalib-who was visiting his family and friends in Connecticut. He's actually a Rocky Mountain baby, and the son of my good friends- Jonas and Beth. I was so happy to meet their beautiful little baby boy and to snap some photos of him.
This morning I headed to Jersey City for an outdoor maternity photo shoot at Hamilton Park with Liisa and Josh. They were so much fun to work with (pretty obvious from their pictures!). Yellow and orange leaves were carpeting the ground and made for an awesome backdrop. I'm lovin' everything about these pictures!
Today my cousin and her baby boy Jack came over for their holiday photo shoot. I would LOVE to show you what kind of get-up and situation we did with him for his holiday card, but we've decide to keep it under wraps until the actual holiday cards go out in the mail. This way it'll be a giant surprise. But to give you a little peak of how totally adorable Jack is, I figured I would show you a portion of the shoot that took place in my bedroom. Enjoy!
I'm so thrilled that the weather has been so fantastic this month....and here is a prime example of why! The light was so gorgeous yesterday afternoon when I met up with Karin and Dean with their 3 handsome little boys. The outfits Karin chose for everyone really capture the rustic outdoor spot we picked to shoot in, and I am so happy with our results. Enjoy the peak in to their portrait session....

Well, I got to switch it up a little this week. Instead of shooting a family, or a baby- I got to shoot a pretty new salon called 
I met up with Samantha and her parents on Monday morning for an outdoor shoot at Steven's Institute. Samantha's mom actually introduced me to this picturesque spot, its a place she comes to frequently during her walks around town. So we figured it would be a wonderful place for our shoot, with some meaning behind the location. I can't even tell you how excited I was by the 2 outfits Samantha had to wear...a vintage style dress and a bunny coat with matching bunny slippers! Amazing. And to top it all off, within 3 minutes of finishing the shoot, Samantha was sound asleep on her mom's shoulder. Super cute!
This past Saturday I met Lucas and his parents at the
