kristen & raul- bbq
I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kristen & Raul’s wedding a few weeks ago, but before the wedding day I got to meet lots of family and friends at Kristen’s brother & sister in law’s house for a bbq in their honor. It was a great way to start to get to know the bride & groom and their families & closest friends before the chaos and fun of the wedding day.
*edited to add that it was SO TOTALLY HOT on the day of the bbq. Like I can’t breathe hot. Like there is no air hot. Like I’m gonna die hot. Like worse than Africa hot. But everyone was having so much fun that it doesn’t even show in the pictures. Its a very good thing I was behind the camera though, cause it was not pretty. At all.
The lovely bride & groom.
In addition to my photographing the bbq, Kristen and her siblings arranged for me to take a family photo for her mom’s birthday. So here’s the whole family!
Raul, his brother, his mom & his bride. 
And the extended family.
Mom & Dad and their 5 kids. 
Mom and her BFF- they’ve been besties since they were little girls.
Cousins from Stockholm. 
Cheers with Grandma! (that adorable little guy is the same baby that’s on my blog header at a few months old, smiling big for me!)
A few faces from the party that I just had to photograph!
The beautiful flower girl.
More from Kristen & Raul’s wedding coming to the blog soon. Still trying so hard to catch up! -
the medv family
It’s always such a pleasure to go out to East Hampton to photograph this fantastic family. Not only are they wonderful, their home is gorgeous with the most amazing light and they feed me dinner every year! The kids were so fun and funny this year- I’m loving watching them grow! You can see some of their past sessions here, here and here.
Severe picture overload ahead, sorry! I couldn’t narrow it down further.
I went out earlier in the summer this year than normal, so I got to see the gorgeous lavender and & hydrangeas I always miss.
Since I saw them last year, they got engaged! So happy for you both!

the rudi family
After years and years (literally) of sessions with this family (you can see some of the older sessions here and here), we finally got a year where no one was sick. Every time we had a session, someone got sick immediately after – or they were sick during and we just didn’t know. It was so nice to have happy girls this year!
She thought if she hid in the tree, I couldn’t photograph her. Wrong.
Love their matching expressions!
Omg, just love it!

the leho family
This whole family is just one of those that I just clicked with from our first session last year. I was so excited to do their beach session as I knew it would be a great time, and it was! Windy, jumping, sandy, laughing fun.
The girl can seriously fly!
Handsome devil, this one. 
There’s just something I love about this picture.
Gotta love a family that really knows how to loosen up and have some fun.

the doyl family
Big multigenerational sessions are always so interesting- I love watching how big families interact with each other, especially the cousins who might not see each other that often. Grandma had booked this session almost two years ago for her whole family- I love that she decided to do it and include everyone!
It started with these two…
They had these 4 “children”…
..and they ended up with these 12 grandchildren! Pretty awesome, huh?
A few shots of each family…
And everyone together!
I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to Angela for assisting me during this session. Thanks so much for your help & making sure I photographed everyone!
