the sant family
Its so much fun for me to watch this family grow and grow. When we first met, it was just the three girls with mom & dad. And in the two or three sessions we’ve done since, there have been two little boys added into the mix. If anyone should have more kids, it’s them! Such a great family dynamic between all of them. And I love to photograph it!
Of course, nothing’s easy or smooth in life and this shoot was a perfect example of that. Having nothing to do with the family, of course!! The bugs were just disgusting and everywhere. And biting. And then the worst part…we returned to the entrance of the beach to find that their double stroller with the infant car seat in it was missing. Stolen. Right off the beach, with their shoes in the bottom basket. Who does that? Did you get the part about the infant car seat in it? Poor mom was so upset and I felt terrible. Luckily, they took two cars to the shoot and there was an extra car seat in the other car. But what would’ve happened if they didn’t have the additional car seat? How would they have gotten home with the baby. The stroller was older and nothing fancy, and mom just hoped that whoever stole it needed it more than she did. But seriously, what the hell is wrong with people?! Well, I hope at least the photos make up for the stroller. A little. -
the rega family
Although I’ve photographed the girls several times before, this was my first time photographing the whole family. And we’ve known eachother for about 11 years! We stayed down at our beach club (we all belong to sun & surf which is where we met) until sunset to get our session started and had a great time. Even dad who is not a fan of the photos said “that wasn’t so bad!” with more than a little shock in his voice. I’ve learned to take that as a compliment from the fathers that I shoot.

the gaff family {beach}
Are you sick of the beach shoots yet? I certainly hope not as there are more than a few left to showcase here on the blog and for me to take in the upcoming weeks. Like this one- a family of 7 I’m sure you’ve seen before on the bsquared blog. We made it in just (really, just. you could see the lightening in the not too far distance) before a horrible storm hit down at our beach club. But we did get it, so I’m happy!
Happy September (ugh) to all of my bsquared readers. The September newsletter is coming, but I’m waiting for a few products to come in before I have it ready to send to you. Hang in there. -
the kell family (rhode island)
So after my previous post/shoot on the East end of LI, I hopped on the Cross Sound Ferry and headed on over to RI (by way of CT) for my next shoot. Love this family- they always make me feel so welcome and at home. We went to their local beach for a little fun and pictures. Even included their cousins for some photos for the grandparents.
He loathes having his picture taken. A lot. Just like his dad and grandpa. But we managed a few smiles anyway.
This little guy was all smiles. 
A beauty with a super cute smile and bubbly personality.
And this guy rocked every second of our shoot. He was posing for every picture, picking out his own locations, and had the cutest little smile. 
The cousins.
And of course, a little jumping off the lifeguard stands. 
Thanks, L for having me up, letting me chill on your deck and for a great shoot!! -
the trio family
Well, if nothing else Hurricane Irene gave me some time to catch up on all the shoots I’m behind on editing. We’re all fine here and thankfully sustained no damage from the hurricane, just a somewhat sleepless night and lots of moving of furniture from outside to the garage. To those of you with flooding, downed trees, no power, smooshed cars, blocked roads…I’m thinking of you all.
This extended family was a whole lot of fun to photograph out on the east end. (I’m hoping that their beach is still there.) With 7 kids 4 years old and younger including 2 sets of twins and a one month old, I definitely had my work cut out for me! But with the help of some really fun parents and grandparents, we did great!
The sun was super bright that morning at the beach but we did the best we could under the conditions. 
The whole family! All looking at once!!
Fraternal twin boys.
Identical twin girls.
And the big brothers to the one month old baby girl.
And eveyone one last time before I packed up and jumped on the ferry to CT on my way to RI.Had a great time with all of you! Thanks for the singing and cheering-I couldn’t get the song out of my head the rest of the day! Hope you enjoy your photos.
