    the cros family

    Looking outside my window right now (although I’d really rather not) it is pouring snow. Snow. It was only a little over 2 weeks ago I photographed this family in Central Park on a beautiful, sunny and warmish day. In a gorgeous park that I can only imagine lost a ton of trees and who knows what other damage. But I’m really, really trying to keep a positive attitude, be thankful that I have power, heat, and a home to have it in. Trying to get back to work and keep moving forward with the sandy relief efforts. It’s not easy for me and I can only imagine how hard it is for everyone else with so much less (no home, no power, no heat). I thought a sweet little baby girl might bring a smile to a few faces out there.

    This was my first time meeting Miss L, after photographing her parents wedding a few years ago. She was perfect and pink. Not much for smiling that day, but we did manage to squeak out a few.

    Getting back to blogging client sessions today, but you can still donate to help the bsquared sandy relief effort. I’m going shopping today with the $900 (!!!!) I received in donations since yesterday. You guys are amazing and I can’t thank you enough!!! Pictures and a full report to follow on what I purchased with the funds and which Sandy victims the supplies will go to. If I receive more donations, I’ll go shopping again. The lists from the affected areas keep changing so it’ll be different things each trip. If you’d like to donate, please use the pay pal tab on the left side of the blog, hit “donate” and follow the directions. Thank you!

    Another of the Royals baseball team players super mini session at Hempstead Lake. Love these boys (well, actually love the whole family!).

    Getting another blog post up today before the power goes. Wind is picking up a bit, but from what they’re saying it’s going to get really bad tonight. I’m editing my heart out until then.

    Our second session from Central Park- a friend from high school (that I probably haven’t seen SINCE high school) and her gorgeous daughter who the camera just loved. She was quite busy during the whole session and there was a lot of chasing going on (big thanks to my photografriend Charlie who assisted me all day and did a lot of the chasing for this session!) but her smiles and giggles made it all work out.

    Best face ever.

    the osul family

    With the impending storm hitting tonight and for the next few days (this had better not be as bad as they say it’s going to be! I have so much editing to do which cannot be done without power!) I figured I’d blog the pictures as I had them ready.  Who knows how long I’m going to be able to edit and how long the internet connection will work.

    My first Central Park mini session for 2012 was with this fantastic family with twin boys (fraternal, obviously). There was a HUGE breast cancer walk in the park that morning but I think it actually worked to our advantage. Although we couldn’t get up to the mall area to shoot because that’s where the walk was, I think it actually helped keep people out of the park on a beautiful day. Or at least out of the Bethesda Terrace area for a while.

    the roge family

    My second time photographing this family, and since our last session was 2 years ago the kids have grown so much. It was challenging photographing the little guy, but I have my ways and with his family’s help we got him! We were originally scheduled for another beach session but the weather didn’t cooperate and neither did the whole family’s colds, so we rescheduled to a park session instead a few weeks later.
