    the crof family

    A brand new to bsquared family with two of the most adorable boys, ever! They chose a mini session to get some photos of their new baby boy at their new home. We had tons of snow outside, so heading out there was out of the question. But we had a great shoot indoors. With lots of cuddles and smiles.

    the rhod family

    I’ve officially lost track of how many times I’ve photographed this family, who I adore! It’s been so fun watching the family grow (both in size and in age) and getting to know the kids better each shoot! Got to photograph the newest arrival after no less than 3 rescheduled sessions. Twice due to snow, once due to sickness (me & my diptheria- no, it really wasn’t diptheria but that’s what Patrick said it was). So Mr. M had to wait until he was 2 months old for his newborn picutres. Sorry, buddy! Hope it was worth the wait. And he peed on me, so I guess we’re even.

    The big man- D. He’s so delicious and funny and sweet. Even though we woke him up from a nap, I still got amazing smiles. Love this kid!Little Miss C. Can’t believe how much she’s grown already. Spunky and energetic to the max, this one. So happy with kisses from Daddy. Love the baby chub.  Great seeing you guys!! Can’t wait for the next shoot.

    the stac christening

    I was so happy when mom booked me to photograph her little girl’s christening. Photographing christenings is always so much fun for me, especially when I get to be there for THE moment in the church. Little miss M did wonderfully, no crying at all. And priest was the funniest, most easy going priest I have ever seen. He was all about getting the mass done timely so everyone could get out to watch the Jets game and he was so good with all the kids there, having them come up to the font and explaining about the water. The best joke of the day? “How do you get water to become holy water? Boil the hell out of it.” Ha!

    She is perfect, isn’t she? And mom had the christening gown hanging right there in the window when I walked in. Just for me. Do my clients rock (and know me so well) or what?A few fun ones- the chaos of 3 littles and getting everyone ready to head to church and a party all while trying to look relaxed and calm. Ahhh, life. No doubt you will recognize a few of the faces here. Mary Ellen and Kenny were standing in for Miss M’s godparents who couldn’t be there for the Christening. Unfortunately, Sara (the godmother) was in the hospital with preterm labor with her 5th baby and was then sent home on bedrest and a terbutaline pump.  Been there, done that and I feel terrible for her. But I hope she can enjoy the pictures from her bed today- and Sara you’d better be laying your butt down!!!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures and thank you so much for letting me be there for Miss M’s special day!

    the owen christening

    Ok, so they were on the blog very recently for their holiday card photos, but here they are again for their baby’s Christening. You know they are one of my favorite families, so you’ll just have to muddle through another owen family post (again, with lots of familiar faces).

    He’s beautiful.

    And so is his big sister. Love this one- he’s looking at me like ‘are you sure this is what’s supposed to be going on here?’And off to the big event. So psyched I caught a couple of water droplets. Miss K and her godparents, Mr B and his. Grandma & Grandpa and all their grandchildren. (all familiar faces, here!)Wishing you many blessings everyday my friends! Love to all of you!!
