    the cami family

    This shoot did not start off well. At all.

    web56

    We arrived at our chosen location only to find that 1. the park closed in 1/2 an hour and 2. we needed a permit to shoot there. (I had shot there before and didn’t need a permit that time, so I don’t know what the deal was with that!). So we had to make a last minute substitution on the location and drive a bit to get there. Thankfully, this family was SO awesome and so easy going that it wasn’t as big a deal as it could’ve been. And thankfully, the pictures still came out awesome even with the second choice location.

    The kids were so great and go-with-the -flow types. And only slightly photogenic.

    web38

     The littlest one was no too interested in looking at the camera much, but we have ways around that!

    Love the sparkle in her eyes.

    And this one- quiet and SO smart. Not to mention a handsome young man.

    web107

    A rather good looking family, no?

    Thanks again, cami family for being so flexible and good natured about the whole debacle.

    the enck family

    Blog stalkers followers may recognize this family from a recent Christening (not theirs but the mom was the godmother). Had a great time meeting up with them at their home for a photoshoot.

    The baby was not so into me, the bright light outside, or the camera but we somehow got a little smile here and there. He was so so cute! Loved the squishy, pink cheeked sleeping one too.

    The little girl was so sweet and delicious in her little playhouse her daddy & grandpa built and in her pretty pink tutu.

    the miracle baby {eoin}

    My best friend from University of Miami, Robin, had baby Eoin (pronounced Owen) on the day she started her 25th week of her pregnancy with him. It was so scary and the outcome was so very unsure. But after 2 days shy of 4 months in the NICU up at Yale, it gives me SUCH pleasure to show all of you his pictures today (a nice birthday present for me and something positive on this otherwise very sad day).

    web76

    web120

    He is doing so wonderfully, all of his tests are coming back totally great! He is truly a miracle. He’s on some supplemental oxygen but the very lowest setting and it’s not as life support or anything, but just to help him out a little and to keep him from working hard at breathing so he can use that energy to grow and eat. Oh, and smile!

    Robin told me last night that he is now tipping the scales at 7.5lbs (he was just 2lbs when he was born in April).

    web54

    He’s totally interactive and looks right at you when you talk to him. I’m thrilled that he likes his ‘blankie’ from Aunt Beth as Aunt Robin bought Timmy his blankie. Its now a tradition.

    web135

    web47

    Robin couldn’t be more in love or happier that Eoin is home and doing great.

    And before anyone says anything about Joe not being in the picutes, he was out doing errands and got back like 2 minutes before I left. Next time for daddy! Oh, and if Joe was there, we probably couldn’t have used the apple hat that Robin wanted.

    web86

    Joe and Robin, thank you SO much for letting me visit (I’ll be staying away for a while now that my walking petri dishes are back in school cause I don’t want to bring any of those germs to Eoin). Can’t wait to see him again and watch him grow and get stronger.

    Hold on to yourselves for the most gorgeous family and their newest addition, who by the way is also gorgeous. Tiny, but gorgeous!

    She was exactly 1 week old on the day of the shoot. Deliciousness.

    Hands had to be by her face at all times. And if they didn’t start out that way, you can bet they ended up there.

    Love all the blondies.

    Travelled out to Fire Island for this fabulous shoot. And I know Mom is waiting for me to say that this was my first and last Fire Island shoot due to the long trip, break in shooting, and walking hiking all over Kismet in the sand. But, I would love to do it again! It was so nice there and we got some awesome stuff.

    The ferry schedule wasn’t exactly condusive to the times I wanted to be there for the best lighting for the beach shoot, so when I arrived we snapped a bunch in their house where the light was juuuussst right. Then since it was way too early for a beach shoot, I went and had a really nice lunch all by myself (and with the Kindle) and met back up with the family in enough time to get the rest of the shoot done.

    How much of a cutie pie is this little guy. His mom and dad couldn’t possibly adore him more. Well, maybe if he slept thru the night!!

    We were all over the place in Kismet- the dock, the wagons, the lighthouse and surrounding area, the beach, back to the dock. All in a day’s work!
