    the conl family

    Starting off posting from 2022 sessions with this awesome, longtime bsquared family who is photogenic and beachy. Wow, how i miss the beach!! And warm weather. And shoots outside. Spring and summer can’t come soon enough. Love watching this family grow up and it’s my pleasure to photograph them every year. I can’t wait to see where we go this year, but please enjoy some highlights from their session (and christmas cards).

    rosa’s 80th birthday

     

    Now that’s a birthday worth celebrating BIG! My friend/pilates instructor/massage therapist Denise and her siblings put together a great birthday party for their mom with family in from all over the country to help celebrate. Since many family members live out of state, they haven’t been together in a really long time because of covid. So not only was it a celebration of Rosa, it was a celebration of family. I was invited to stay for dinner (omg, such good food!) and hang out with the family and Denise said she was proud that I “survived” my first Dominican party. Not only did I survive, I had so much fun! And I made her promise to do some Salsa with her awesome hubby for me- which they did. That was awesome! Wishing Rosa the happiest 80th birthday. And I’m so glad no one beat me with their chancleta.

    ava & friends at the mercy ball

    It was a very busy photography day for me during the Mercy Ball- this was the second pre-ball party I shot that day for my friend and longtime client Kelly & Ava. I just wanted to say thank you to the other Ava’s parents who hosted the party and for the stepladder they let me borrow. It had been rainy and raw the whole day but we did luck out with a break in the rain/drizzle for some outdoor pictures on their beautiful wrap-around front porch. Hope this crew had a fabulous time at the ball, too!

    olivia & friends at the mercy ball

    The Mercy Ball is a long time honored tradition here in our town where seniors can be sponsored to go to the ball as honor guard. Boys in tuxes and tails, girls in gowns. Its almost like a winter version of prom. Olivia and her parents had a little pre-ball party and asked me to come over to take some pictures of her with her besties and their dates. And parents too! They all looked gorgeous and had a great time that night. Stay tuned for another pre-ball session at a different house coming up soon.

    ava’s senior session

    I’m alive- just been nothing but Christmas and holiday sessions, editing, cards, etc etc etc. And since a lot of client’s cards haven’t gone out yet I still can’t post those sessions- so here’s a lovely high school senior and a few shots from her recent session with me. Ava was a pleasure to photograph and her dog is super adorable. A winning combination!
