the sarg family
Always happy to see and photograph this gorgeous and sweet bunch! Its been so fun watching them all grow so much since I started photographing them about 3 or maybe even 4 years ago. They are always great to hang out with, keep me laughing the whole session and this year was no exception.

the fole family
This shoot was an almost senior session. Ryan is actually a senior who just graduated from Chaminade High School (congrats Ryan!) so this was a family session to celebrate his graduation and to have a few family photos for when Ryan leaves for college at the end of the summer. His tuxedo (so handsome!) is his graduation attire, so mom wanted to be sure we captured this special moment for their family.
Felt like we were old friends by the time we were done with the session. Love that!
Something so Rat Pack about the photo on the right.
Ryan will be heading off to St. Joseph’s University in Philly. Best of luck to you, Ryan!

the mosc family {up in Boston}
On our baseball travels (John got tickets for the boys and him to sit on the Green Monster at Fenway), I was able to fit in a bsquared session up in Massachusetts for a high school friend. All the chips fell right and we were able to book the session while the boys were at Fenway (the hotel was literally 500 feet from the stadium so I got to take the car) and the rain just barely held off long enough for us to get our session in. And when I say just barely- I really mean it. You can see a few drops in some of the pictures.
Jane’s girls were soooo cute (love that red hair and blue eyes- just like their mommy!) and while I was warned that they were very quiet and super shy, I didn’t get any of that from them. Within the first 5 minutes of our session they were all chatty, animated, giggly and so much fun! I’d think they had a great time- I know I did!
Lovely family!
Love in the rain. Ahhhh….
Sisters with secrets. 
Love the Tiffany blue chair with the coral dresses. Great call Jane!
Thanks for braving the rain, wet grass and crazy photographer from NY! -
timmy’s communion- the party (aka the communitzvah)
We ended up with a fabulous day (thank god) with tons of family and friends with amazing food, gorgeous decor and a happy communitzvah boy. The party theme was vintage baseball. What else would it be?
The lighting was kinda horrible to work with, but since they’re my own pictures and not a clients (and I was not busting out the lighting) it went into the category of it is what it is. The amazing “focal table”, all designed and implemented by the fantastic Jenn Evans from Jennifer Evans Events. 
The food was beyond delicious (especially the appetizers- always my favorite!) and the service was outstanding, all provided by the amazing Fran Klier. Not only a fantastic chef, but a good friend and Royals family member. 
Centerpieces. My favorite!
Vintage straws and coke bottles. 
The drink table welcoming guests as they arrived.
The focal candy table in parts… Including Mommy’s Marshmallows. 
Jenn wanted to do a special signature cocktail for the party. This is what we agreed on. 
Baseball card graham cracker cookies and baseball cake pops. 
Amazing cake (with three different layers- all different flavors) by The Cake Don.
“Forked” baseball iced oreos (stuck on a little tiny fork). 
Some games for the kids.
Baseball wreath from baby toes on Etsy. And potted flowers from my friend Heidi. Which I’m happy to report I haven’t yet killed. Give it a few more weeks though.
Under the baseball big top. 
Me and my girlies. Jen & Sharon. 
Timmy and his besties. Liam & Jack.
My photografriend Shira who left her family party to come over for a few minutes to take some pictures so I could be in some. 
Tricia and two of her three girls. 
John and his crew. Ray, George, Nelson & Jim. 
Me and Maureen all the way from Michigan. 
Jack & Timmy.
Do not even ask me, cause I don’t know. 
Karen, all three of my boys baby nurse. She used to be able to hold them both at once. And lived in my house for a total of 4 weeks. I still love her so.
Any guesses who?
Timmy and his godmother. As you can see I didn’t go crazy with the camera/picture taking during the course of the day. Was trying to be in the moment and enjoying the day as much as I could. It was a nice change of pace for me!

timmy’s communion- church & portraits
Finally, finally getting to edit and post the pictures from Timmy’s communion. Gotta take care of all the client sessions first! We lucked out like crazy on the weather which was a huge factor- being that about 100 people were coming to our house for the party. Timmy’s allergies were pretty bad but he managed to suck it up for the day.
Some of the boys while waiting for their mass to start. 
My friend Debra and her handsome son Thomas. (who did a reading during the mass and did a great job!)
Chris (my friends Melissa & Mark’s son).
Patrick (my friend Liz’s son) bringing up the gifts. 
Timmy on his way down the aisle, with partner Annie. Love that they are the same size. 
My handsomes after church.
We surprised the boys yet again with a visit from Connor. Maureen is Timmy’s godmother so she came in from Michigan for the weekend (thanks again Maureen!!). We told the boys that only Katie (my goddaughter) was able to come with Maureen cause the boys had hockey and baseball. But Maureen worked it out so Connor could get away for the weekend. They were soooooo happy to be together and got about 8hrs of sleep the entire weekend. Too much catching up to do to sleep. 
A big thank you to my photografriend Shira www.shirazphotography.com who came for about 15 minutes to take some family pictures so I could actually BE in some of them for a change. She had a family party that she left to come quick to our house for a few photos. Now that’s a good friend!
Me and the hubs.
I’m wearing little heels and standing on a teeny tiny incline, but I think Patrick is just as tall as I am now if not taller. Sigh.
No kisses.
More pictures to come tomorrow of the party and decor. Can’t wait to show you!
