This favorite bsquared family opted for a beach session this year, and I figured with flying home from vacation today (for me. and hopefully not crashing.) to the absolutely abysmal freezing weather in New York, today would be a good day for a beach shoot on the blog.

We had lots of fun running and playing on the beach with their two very busy boys. You can see their past sessions here, here and here.

Sorry for the lack of blog post yesterday- I’m having a hard time keeping up, even with editing pretty much around the clock! Another brand new to bsquared family who chose the beach (I love the beach!) for their session. Keeping the older kids smiling is just as challenging as keeping the younger ones smiling (real, non fake smiles) and sometimes I find myself talking to the teens like they’re 2, especially after a day of little people shoots. Really trying to reel that in. Thanks to the whole “harl” family for putting up with my annoyingness.

A fantastic family of six (who also happen to live around the block from me) who were not only first timers to bsquared, but first timers to any professional family photography. After some initial nervousness that lasted about 5 seconds we had a great time. I loved getting to know the kids and finding out their interests (especially the oldest who is very interested in photography!) and seeing them relax and have fun too. Dad bought a bsquared gift card for his wife, and here are the end results:

A longtime friend and her family who I’ve photographed a few times in the past (and who’s youngest was Timmy’s communion partner down the aisle) chose a beach session this year. We really lucked out with the weather and a great time was had by all. Well, maybe except Dad who was missing a football game. Or maybe it was a baseball game.
