    shea’s senior session {part 1}

    There were so many awesome shots/outfits/poses with this gorgeous senior that I’m going to have to do the post in two parts. So first part is the sports & college portion. Shea is a very talented (top 50) field hockey AND lacrosse player and she will be attending Vanderbuilt for lacrosse in the fall. So obviously, smart as a whip too. It must also be nice going into senior year all settled with where she’s going next year!

    liz is a nurse!

    My very, very good photografriend Liz is now a full-fledged nurse! With a nursing job and everything! I’m so super proud of her and I know how hard she worked (and got like all A’s) for this while still running her photography biz, taking care of her family and still making time for her friends (especially going to Islanders games with this friend!) Liz is the kind of friend that everyone wants- she’s so THERE. So tuned in with her friends, compassionate, does nice things just cause and is fun af! I’m so lucky to have her in my circle (well, especially since she’s now my daughter and she is the mother of my grandchildren). She’ll still be doing some photography and taking some sessions and parties. But she’s going to be like the BEST nurse ever!

    sshs seniors 2023 {ava & friends}

    I have to say this was just the nicest group of girls! Such a fun friend group! Very easy going, so low maintence. And only one selfie break at the end! (i am so totally in for selfies, but when kids do them in the middle of the shoot it can be a little distracting!) Wishing them all the best time in college- they have some great schools they’re going to. Of course I’m more than a little partial to the University of Miami and “can’t like” University of Florida because old rivalries die hard, but I’ll let it go this time!

    eric & aine get engaged- the portraits

    First, i apologize for the misspelling of aine’s name (not ania, although that’s how it’s pronounced). Second, here’s the next (and last installment) of their proposal/engagement session. We hit up a few special spots on campus to take some portraits of the really-newly engaged couple. They are so happy and in love, it didn’t take much to pose them- they did it pretty much all on their own. Lots of snuggles and giggles and kisses and a little dancing thrown in for good measure. And the fact it said “…with joy…” right by them at the fountain where they sat is a perfect coincidence that i loved! Congratulations again to this gorgeous couple!! Help me wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

    and an extra thank you to the hubs who drove me up to Fordham (ya know, the “real” Fordham where he went for his bachelor’s degree as opposed to the “fake” Fordham where I went (lincoln center) for my masters degree), gave me a tour around campus and let me take pictures of him so i could pretend i wasn’t waiting for them to walk over!

    olivia —> UVA

    Congratulations to Olivia on signing with the University of Virginia for rowing/crew! I’ve known her since when she and Timmy were 5 or 6 months old where we all met at Gymboree so this was exciting for me too! I still can’t over the fact that they’re all seniors and off to college in just a few months! I’m so happy for her and her family and UVA is lucky to have her!
