    keeping summer alive…

    Even though with the cold temps over the last few days it’s definitely not summer anymore. Obviously I’m pretty far behind in editing…

    Is it bad I’m counting down the days until the end of the school year?

    the stei family

    My second time photographing these guys- such a fun and busy family! It was a gorgeous night at the beach and we had a great time running around and playing. Oh, and taking pictures too! At the end of our session, I left them in the ocean jumping some waves. I think that was a pretty good ending, especially for their oldest son who was thoroughly enjoying himself!


    Love the light in these.They had big squishy hugs like these in our last session too!

    the cast family

    I’ve lost count how many times I’ve photographed this bunch- but each time is fantastic and leaves me waiting impatiently for next year! (I think this may have been our 4th session). It’s always at their beach house/on the beach and I always get hugs from all the kids as soon as I walk in. Best ever. And, this year Dad even changed a work trip just to be there for the photos. Can you tell I love them a little!?

    Super windy on the beach on this evening with big waves from the hurricane passing by.

    Don’t know how it’s possible but they get more gorgeous every year.

    the mcke family

    I love shoots at the beach (have had a zillion recently and a bunch more coming up), especially those at my beach (sun & surf) where I can just roll out of my chair, grab my gear and get back down to the sand to shoot. Now that’s a commute I can deal with!

    We had a great evening for our session but there was a seaweed carpet on the beach. Looks good in the pictures with the pop of green, but not so much in real life when you’d like to go swimming. We stayed out of the water and worked fast as the sun was setting quickly.

    What a beauty, right? And she’s a Harvard student. And a dancer. Nothing like having the whole package. Love the whole rat pack vibe going on. Sweet sisters.

    the farr family

    A new to bsquared family, but I’ve “known” mom in passing for quite a few years. Friends of friends and kids in the same school. So glad we really met as they are all super nice and smiley and fun! Their oldest son was off to his freshman year of college a little bit after our session, so I’m hoping mom enjoys the pictures of her whole family together!

    Extra big props to this great young man who’s birthday it was on the day of our session. I’m quite sure there were a number of other things he would have rather been doing than taking pictures (maybe sticking needles in his eyes) but he was a true gentleman and really hung in there for the whole time.These girls are Gorgeous with a capital G!!They are Irish step dancers. I got a little show!
