Mother, Daughter & Their Dog, Hailee

I spent a beautiful Sunday morning at the park with this trio. It was obvious to see that these three have a special bond.   Hailee really enjoyed checking out the squirrels and ducks as she made her way around the park; she was slightly less enthusiastic about the black box trying capturing her "good side" :)

Being a Model is so Tiring!

First Birthday Fun

You may remember this little cutie from his previous session!  He did not disappoint when I met up with him on his first birthday.  He was a little man on a mission - determined to inhale as much frosting as possible!

For the Catalogs!

If Eddie Bauer is in need of a family for their catalog, I think I found them.  To complete the package are the family's three dogs!   Against the backdrop of the beautiful Saratoga Spa State Park, this family and their four-legged friends made for an afternoon full of laughs and amazing portraits! 

Cole Cuteness

We moved our session up a week to take advantage of the nice weather that we had this past weekend.  It was such a pleasure to photograph this family!  Cole is 7 months old and adorable (and who would have guessed that mommy & daddy humming 90s rap music would be the key to great facial expressions from the little man!).  If there's ever a monster in my closet, I hope it's as cute as the Cole-Monster!    

Follow the Yellow Brick Road...

and you'll find the cutest little Dorothy and Cowardly Lion.   The Cowardly Lion was very confused as to where to find courage!  

Fall Family Fun



This family scheduled their photo session over the summer to make sure we were able to do it in the fall when the leaves were changing color.   With four kids under age 5, I knew this would be a fun family to photograph; they did not disappoint!











Dad had the kid tossing down to a science!



 









Just Gorgeous!

 I felt honored that I was able to take maternity portraits for my brother & sister-in-law!   It's evident that this baby is already so loved by its parents (not to mention by the adoring aunt!).   Noel is naturally so beautiful and she has the perfect baby-belly!    It made for a hard time narrowing down which pictures to put in for the sneak preview!







Spencer's Senior Portraits

I had the pleasure of photographing this young man on Saturday.   He is in his senior year with quite the line-up of colleges that he's applying to, including my alma mater!    Best of luck, Spencer!

Sisters

I met Alex at her 5th birthday party.   I remember Jacqueline at 3 years old as a flower girl in my sister-in-law's wedding.   They have grown from adorable children into gorgeous teens.   I had a blast spending the morning with them - photographing them and watching them interact with each other. 

Ginger

While in the Hamptons this past weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing Ginger.   When Ginger was adopted from the local Arf, they said she had previously been photographed by L.L.Bean.  It's no wonder why she was such a natural!  

39 Weeks and Glowing

Timing was impeccable.  I was able to sneak in a maternity session with a good friend of mine during our trip to Long Island for the holiday weekend.     I received a message from her that she was in labor early Saturday morning.   Welcome to the world, Connor.

Future GAP Model

I had the pleasure of spending some time with this little man on Friday.   He was such a happy baby making my job pretty easy!  I definitely think he could be a future GAP model.   I look forward to seeing him again in October to capture his 1st birthday portraits.

Thankfully, the rain held off for the evening so I was able to capture the B. Family!  Their older son, Mitch, is about to enter 2nd grade and loved showing off his tire swinging talent.   The little guy, Jack, was much more unsure about the camera, until Daddy broke out his kid-tossing skills.  The family has the most beautiful German Shepard that even stopped playing ball long enough to capture a few portraits as well.
