    the marc kids (& mom)

    You might remember this completely adorable family from their lifestyle newborn session a few months ago. Mom thought she’d capture her little family almost 6 months later as they grow and change. She wasn’t going to be in the photos but what can you do when your baby boy doesNOT  like the grass. You hold him. A lot. And I work really, really fast to get a shot or two before smiles change quickly to tears.

    And this one? More gorgeous every time I see her!

    the wool family

    This was a session I was seriously excited for. Caren & Tim were “my” bride and groom back in 2010 for their wedding in Jamaica  and since then, they’ve welcomed a beautiful baby boy (who is now just over a year old) into their family. They live far away in upstate New York, but come down every summer to visit family & friends. When they contacted me to do a session for them, I was super excited to not only see them but to meet and photograph Owen for the first of what I hope to be many times. Of course the session had to be at the beach! But someone was not a fan of the sand. Or the water. Made for an interesting session, but we got it done with singing, food, a lot of time being held and tickles for smiles.

    Snuck in a sitting in the sand shot super quick before he realized he was in the sand. Ha!
    He disliked the sand and water so much he went all flamingo and tried only standing on one foot.

    the burk family

    A brand new to bsquared family who’s session we had to reschedule maybe 3 or 4 times (I lost count) due to rain, severe heat, sicknesses x2 or 3. But we finally got it in and meeting little miss D was well worth the wait. Such a great, happy family! They chose a session at home (which is always so fun for me- I love seeing where my clients live and love) and we finally got a decent evening where everyone was healthy. My favorite thing? She whistles. Like really, truly whistles. The cutest thing ever from such a little girl!

    So tell me how you really feel about photos…The other baby.They don’t really like to be too close together, so this was a perfect compromise.The picture on the right is her whistling.

    the rich family

    If you are a blog stalker (which, of course, I hope that you are!) you’ll remember this family from their daughters bat mitzvah, an awards night and sarah’s recent session celebrating her brace free smile. We had this session scheduled for over a year out at their summer/weekend home in Westhampton Beach. But illness, travel plans and weather had other ideas and pushed our session back a whole year plus. I was so happy to get it done so they’ll have some great family photos that are updated and ready to hang in their gorgeous home out that way.

    A windy and way humid evening on the beach, but the light was gorgeous.

    Sooooo cute!Standing out in the marsh for this one! (me, not the family!)Beautiful ladies. Hope you like them all, T and family!! Enjoy the rest of your summer out there!And if you’re my friend on Facebook, you’ll remember me cursing the whole way home when they closed the LIE (the whole freaking road) from exits 62-63 on the way home and I sat in traffic for an hour and 4o minutes. That part wasn’t fun. But dinner with my friend Kim (who also summers out in Westhampton) before hitting the road was great!

    the bodk family

    My first time photographing this great family, who was referred to me by mom’s sister who I photographed a few times in the past year. Loved the kids, both big and small. They were so much fun to photograph and spend an evening with.
