    the argo family christening

    I should really preface the title by saying the 3rd christening. Unfortunately, I was away during the actual christening, but mom asked me to come take pictures when I got back.  The newest baby (I shot her older sister’s christening last year at this time) was dressed back up in all her lovliness, along with the rest of this gorgeous family. Seriously, so good looking, right?

    I do adore photographing these girls. They are so fantastic and photogenic and just fun. The middle one is a HAM and was so upset when her turn was over that I just had to keep going. Really, fine by me. And the older one is just so gorgeous and has a personality to match. She used to be so shy of me but now I think she really likes it when I come to take pictures. (can you blame her?- she gets to jump on the bed and other off limits things when I’m there).

    the mcbr 60th anniversary

    Yes, you read that right. 60TH wedding anniversary! Such a huge deal so of course there was a great big party to celebrate the happy couple.

    It was a surprise, and was it ever! They definitely had no idea- they thought they were coming to the country club for brunch with another couple who are also members. As they walked into the room I heard them say "I think we're in the wrong place". Nope- the totally right place with all their friends and family and tons of love and congratulations!

    Way too many good looking people! (and a special thanks to Paul for helping coordinate this shot with EVERYONE!)

    Modeliscious! (aka the schw 11th bday party)

    Warning: tons of pictures. You can see the rest (yes, there are lots more) in the album on the left.

    I'm certain that you will remember this sassy/beautiful redhead from a holiday shoot (and maybe even from her grandfather's 80th bday party which I also shot). Well, her mom was throwing around some birthday party ideas and a photoshoot party actually won out! So I was at the party snapping away the most FUN pictures for the afternoon.

    All the girls brought and borrowed and swapped crazy outfits and then did their best 'america's next top model' THANG for my camera. And it's seriously a miracle that any of the photos are in focus cause I was laughing so hard for the whole thing. They came up with the best poses (all by themselves) and funniest outfits.

    Let me just say this was a GREAT party idea. And the kids get the pictures of all their friends together having fun.

    the hus 2nd birthday

    I'm sure you will remember this unforgettable beautiful little (burberry) girl from her birthday party last year and from a fall shoot in Central Park. I was asked to take photos at her birthday party again this year which I was more than happy to do. Her whole family is just as nice as can be!

    This year's party was at the Reebok Sports Club in Manhattan, with a little extra singing/guitar entertainment to round it all out. Looked like all the kids had a great time! And the parents too.

    How gorgeous was the cake?? Love the design going all the way around.

    the byrn christening (twins)

    Shot this christening in the middle of busy season and the mom was so nice in letting me take my time getting the photos edited. So without further ado, here are the byrn girls all the way from Chicago on their very special day.

    They are so beautiful (with eyelashes to match) and were just as sweet as could be. Didn’t hear them cry once. Their gowns were handmade in Ireland and were fantastic. Parents, Godparents, Grandparents and all their family and friends were on hand to help celebrae this very special occassion.
