    a cousins christening

    My friend and best plumber, Tommy, called me a few weeks ago in the morning. Early. Asking for a favor in his voicemail. Because of course I didn’t answer the phone at that ridiculous hour (anything before 11am is a ridiculous hour). The favor was that his godson and his cousin were being baptized later that day and could I come shoot it. So I did. Because it was afternoon by then. Here are a few from the day. Congratulations to all the families and godparents!

    the kear family

    You get an amazing, jaw dropping sunset a few times a year during a shoot. This was one of them- the colors were unbelievable and the reflection on the water was just as awesome, and I adore this family- so a bit of picture overload to follow. We shot at their house out east where Catie & Austin’s wedding will be in just a few short months. We started at their home, went to the docks and the little beach right by their house. The timing couldn’t have been better with the sunset/moonrise and all of their smiling faces. One of my favorite things about this family, is that mom has the same ridiculous schedule as I do, so texting her at 3am is like a normal thing for us. Also, mom & dad just celebrated their 36th anniversary last week- so give them lots of congratulations!

    the eaga family

    Its been a few years since I last photographed this crew and as usual, I can’t believe how much they grew up! (especially the boys. The oldest son totally lost his babyface!) I was so happy to see them and have another “beach date” with them this year. We had lots of catching up to do after 3 years, especially after the events (or lack thereof) of 2020. Wishing them a good, safe and healthy year and hoping to see them all again soon. Thanks to all of them for being flexible and easy going!

    the schmi family

    Another of my very longtime, loyal and favorite families! I was so glad to see them again- and even with the pandemic, they’re so busy so I’m extra thankful we were able to get time in for a session. With fewer bugs this year! The youngest is starting at Chaminade this fall and the older one is headed back to Regis High School in NYC- I wish them both lots of luck! Sorry for the short narrative- I’m so behind on editing so I’m running straight into the next session.

    the silv family

    Although this year was a little different than our normal session with having to be distanced, we still had lots of fun and giggles. And beautiful light! We shot their session in their backyard, where they’ve spent about 6 months in Covid seclusion. And as a special bonus, little miss J played a piano concert just for me. She’s like a prodigy for real! Listening to live music was such a nice surprise and something thats much missed in my life! So big thanks to this little family for a great shoot and awesome concert!
