    the ___family

    This family is new to bsquared and prefers to keep their session private, but I’m posting this one as they’re unidentifyable. And the sunset was magnificent. Hope you’re all having a good day today!

    the pola family

    A brand new to bsquared family (referred by the dad’s brother Don, whose family I also photographed in the past- so thank you for the reccomendation!) with the most photogenic little man! I just loved their playful relationship, their son’s awesome vocabulary and his amazing expressions! He’s so stinking cute!! We had the strangest weather evening at the beach- hazy skies like crazy with the california wildfires smoke making their way out this way. It kinda caused a pinkish haze over some of the pictures which I had never seen before. It made editing interesting. I hope I’ll get to photograph them again in the future so I get to watch Mr. B grow up!

    the marc kids

    As promised, here’s the “regular” portrait session from yesterday’s dance session. These kids are all so incredibly good looking, it’s almost a little annoying! I got the best BEST little boy hugs and a kiss on the cheek at the end of the session- ok, I know thats like illegal now, but cmon. Would you really turn down a hug from him? And in another life, he’s actually my kid. His mom told me that one day he asked for goldfish for a snack, but either when she said no or wasn’t fast enough getting them, he yelled “give me some fucking goldfish!!!!” He’s three. And my son in another reality.

    tiny dancer at sunset

    This is actually part of a family session (i’ll post that tomorrow) but I had to make a post just for Gabby and her amazing ballet. If you are a bsquared follower, I hope you’ll remember some of her past photos and her being in THE Nutcracker at Lincoln Center twice. She’s now aged out of Nutcracker (I’m so sad!! But I guess if there’s a good year for that its 2020 since there will be no ballet season anyway) and will continue to dance at NYCB for the next few years hopefully, until they decide if she can be part of the company at 17 or 18. In the meantime, I’ll be asking to photograph her again so I can get my dance fix in.

    the lui family

    I’ve been photographing this family since 2012 when the baby was a newborn. Look at them so grown up now! I’ve never photographed them outside of NYC (their hometown) before, but this year they decided on a beach session since there are like zero things the same in life now. Dad was cracking me up the entire shoot, trying to get his shoes and socks on without having sand on his feet when we moved from location to location. Needless to say, that didn’t work out. But I did teach them all the baby powder trick at the end of the session so he could get them back on his feet sand free. I had a great time with them as usual! While the wind is usually annoying (especially with long hair) at the beach, I think it just added something fun to this session.
