    ava’s christening

    After photographing this gorgeous baby for her newborn session a few months ago, I was so pleased that her family asked me back to photograph her christening right before Christmas. A cold but beautiful day that was perfect for my last session of 2012.

    annual cousins christmas pictures

    Hello all! I wrapped up my very last session for 2012 yesterday- a christening for a beautiful baby girl. Came home, downloaded the pictures to the computer, answered a few emails, tidied up the office, and with that? I’m on vacation!! Ok, well I’m never REALLY on vacation but this is as close as I get!

    Every year we do a Christmas picture of all the cousins and a shot with grandma & grandpa too for their card. We usually do it at the beach club on Fathers Day when we’re all there together, but we weren’t all together there this year because baby Joe was so little and it was just too much to bring those three out for brunch. We had the pictures scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving, but Sandy hit and we were the Beyrer Refugee Center to many, including all the cousins/aunts/uncles/grandparents since we were the only ones with power. And heat. We even had some overnight guests. So even though everyone was sorta unshowered, not dressed up (my kids didn’t even have shoes on!), and just generally casual we figured it was the perfect time to do the pictures anyway since we were all together and everyone was having fun hanging out together. It’s definitely a memory!

    So here are all the cousins- all 9 of them. And for those of you who are new to the blog-yes, they are all boys. Not one single girl. From top row left: Timmy, Jack, James, Brendan, Quinn (not happy about the pictures), Patrick, Baby Joe, Aidan and Sean is in the front.

    Jack, Patrick & Timmy hanging with Brendan enjoying 21st century electronics and power. Aunt Gail with Quinn, James & Aidan. Uncle Joe with baby Joe.Aunt Gail and baby Joe. Baby Joe. And the whole group with Grandma & Grandpa. Quinny was a little happier on Grandpa’s lap. 

    Family is a great thing! Even (or especially) during a hurricane and thereafter.

    Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve! See you here on the blog tomorrow! (you’ll definitely want to pop in tomorrow if you can).

    the lerh family

    Starting to catch up on all the sessions I did for Christmas this year, however I have personal pictures from the summer (!!!) I still have to edit and post. Well, if the world doesn’t actually come to an end tomorrow at least the blog will be nice and busy over the next few weeks…

    Was thrilled to photograph this family again this year. Haven’t seen them since their little one’s newborn session earlier this year. It was a really chilly morning in New Jersey and the girls were real troopers outside. At least for a while…

    introducing…baby rory

    I was so excited to meet this adorable new little one, and to see the rest of her awesome family. She came into the world in the middle of Sandy and all the craziness thereafter. That’s some start to life, but as her parents welcomed her she was blissfully unaware of all the chaos around her. And still is (with a big brother and big sister running around too!)
