Do you all choose words for the new year? We do over here….mine for 2022 is “Change” and Jade chose “Hopeful”…both fitting looking back at the last two years we have had.

Spooky season is coming to an end. I wasn’t ready for it and now it’s almost over.

We had a lot of fun this year with Jade and Halloween pics. From Creepy little girl…to the Funky Ghost to Rain-bownes…get it? lol (which is her actual Halloween costume) she really got into the Halloween spirit.

What better way is there to freeze this sweet family’s story but through images? Those early days and weeks of a new baby coming home are such a blur aren’t they? We want to remember every little detail and we think we will.

When we first moved to this neighborhood there weren’t too many kids. Once we had Jade we noticed there were a few others, but really not that many.

Trying my best to keep up with blogging all the sessions and I am feeling all over the place! How did I never post the sweetest little tea party ever!? It was one of my faves th

Talk about a gorgeous Summer evening! We definitely lucked out with the weather this day. After having to reschedule their original date due to crazy storms, I was nervous about the weather the day of being they were traveling to me from Staten Island! Weather is sooooo unpredictable and can really mess with outdoor session scheduling.

Meet the very fun and very sweet Dinneen Family. They celebrated this special Grandma’s birthday by gifting her a family session surrounded by all of her grandkids, kids and lots and lots of love. What more could a Grandma ask for on her special day :)

These sessions are serious fun! I don’t care how nervous or shy a child is….throw some confetti at them and they can’t help but smile. They might be confused at first as to why someone is dumping confetti over them but

I think this above image is one of my fave pics of all time. I mean that face! Some might say I am cruel being it’s a crying baby pic, but this truly shows how unpredictable children this age are. It happens so often. You don’t know how they will react during a cake smash until you are actually in it.

Wishing all the special moms out there a very Happy Mother’s Day! Look at this amazing gallery of beautiful, strong and loving moms! This is what I love to photograph! The love and connection that we have for our kids…not the smiling and looking at the camera pics. The true connections that we all share with our babies.

Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy your day!

How has 13 years gone by? Life goes waaaay too fast guys. I still remember when we got the call that this snow princess was coming into the world. She could’t wait to show everyone how cool she was so she decided to make her appearance just a tad bit early!…and now she’s 13. Man do I feel old!

So you are in love, but also tired….over the moon with joy, but also completely overwhelmed. You booked your in-home newborn photos months ago before this tiny, precious being made his or her way into your home. You had all of these plans of what you would wear in these photos…but then baby came and life got real crazy real fast and plans of that beautifully curated wardrobe went out the door. You are in a panic! You think “what will I put this tiny, fragile little being in”…let alone even think of yourself! “Help! What Do I Wear??”.

The goal for Lifestyle Headshot and Branding sessions is to stay true to your own personal style while still keeping it professional. For some this could be the hardest part of the session itself.

HELP…WHAT DO I WEAR??

Who doesn’t love a good portrait? The way the light hits the face at the perfect angle or the way your head is tilted in the most flattering position. How your shoulder is moving toward the camera to draw your eye in and the way your hair is perfectly smooth with not a frizz in sight. Sounds great right?

OK….so I wasn't planning on doing these. I just wanted some pics of Jade & Ollie together so I did this little set up in my garage. Was it a little chilly?…yep…was it fun?…DEFINITELY YES!!

So how can I not offer these up to everyone else??

POP UP VALENTINE MINIS were born!
