3 Sisters + 4 Cousins = 1 Lucky Mom

Can you tell I'm excited to be back?! This shoot was barely 24hours ago and already I'm sharing a sneak peek. As usual, with these most radiant clients of mine, there are over 140 images I'm working on from this 30 minute shoot, but here are a few I love already...

I am one of three sisters so these pictures make me extra happy. The beautiful young moms came from as far as good ole Greenwich, CT to surprise their own mama with a forever kind of gift...

Perfect love comes in all shapes and sizes...

How cute is baby L?!

It was windy on this April Beach Day, but I think the breeze makes these beauties even more brilliant...

And cousin number four:

This little girl was timelessly radiant...

Clearly, it comes from her mama:

Here they are, 4 kiddos, 3 and under. Love the energy and touch of craziness. Reminds me of home... :)

G is for Grateful

3 beautiful girls. What a gift.

And one on the way... what will it be?

I had such a happy session with these three lovely young ladies and their family. What love abounds.

It's been a hectic, exhaustingly busy few weeks, and I'm working night and day on my mountain of pics for you all. Worry not, being snap-happy has been such a joy and privilege and turnaround time is still under 2 weeks from time of session to receipt of your CD. That said, I'm afraid if something had to give, the blog was the best thing possible. Lord knows my heart has been with my babies, bouncing and beaming as they are, and my brain with my awesome Canon-Dell Duo. Still, as I was finishing up these pics this morning, I wanted to share a bit of beauty and golden goodness on this grateful day with you, thanking you all for being what you are... patient, supportive, joyful and camera-cozy! You have made this fall so very full of smiles and I have loved meeting and capturing each and every one of you.

Happy week of gratitude. And just because it's overflowing... a giveaway is coming today on Facebook! You can follow me here if you aren't already.

Family Extensions

What an honor when clients come from near...and FAR for their photo shoots. It took these guys a few tries and dozens and dozens of miles to find dear old Preston Beach, a hidden gem around here, but when they did, their smiles and laughter lit up the skies. I love when families extend themselves and share the love in front of the camera. Here are three siblings, all emerging at life from different angles, brightening up a chilly November day. They were just terrific. It was super meeting you, D extended family. Here is a sneak peek at your pics...

Christmas babies make my heart flutter...



What a lucky little girl to be loved so much:



Love on the rocks... and amidst the sea grass :)



Sweet little one, beautiful when serene, beautiful when all giggles...



The bond of siblinghood... I am a fan of this, for sure.

The P Family Returns to P Beach

A year on, this family is still as beautiful, solid and sincere. Last year they were graced with pink sky at night and indeed, it was a delight. This year, despite being October 9th, it was 86 degrees and crazy beautiful out. Someone up there is smiling on these guys. The sun and my camera just love their blond streaks, their sparkly eyes and captivating, calm togetherness. Over 200 images are theirs to keep from our hour together, hence the trouble in picking just a few to share, but here is a glimmer of their greatness and the good things that happen when awesome people grow up before your awesome lens.

These are the four P's... beautiful:



Big Brother P:



Little Brother P:



If a couple with two little bouncing boys can look so serene and in love, not even knowing the camera was pointing at them, there is hope for this crazy old world....













Walking back to the cars, the sun before us, the whole world of oceans at our backs... bliss.

B is for Beautiful

A lot of people dream of this kind of golden sunshine for their sessions, and while me and Mother Nature will always do our best to oblige, it takes a special kind of warmth for the gold to stay. The B family and I had a very cheerful session, munching on pretzels in between navigating the labyrinth of sea grass now so overgrown and lush at Phillips Beach. Their two kiddos are just days different in age to my own and so it is great fun and a familiar challenge to have them sit still in the same place. But then again... who really wants a picture of their babies sitting still? It would look nothing like them. Enjoy these warm and natural highlights from our September session. And don't be surprised if you see these pretty faces in a magazine sometime soon...

The C Kids

What a joy and honor to photography these fab three. Once upon I time I was their teacher and fell in love with their spunk, decency and joy. Now, still in touch, I admire them as young adults, on the brink of all things wonderful and wise. Their sweet Dad had the remarkable idea to surprise his most beautiful bride on their anniversary last week with some pictures of their trio at home. What a guy! Seriously. The kids obliged, as did their sweet pup, the waves, the sunshine, their mama's garden flowers, everything. There were ridiculous numbers of awesome shots. Here are just a few of my faves. They make me happy.

M doubles

If ever you find yourself having a day when you think, how on Earth do I do all this with only two hands and one heart, remember these pics. The big brother twins were among my first photo sessions when they were wee, and now, two years later, little L&J have joined the family. Together. Just look at those toes! If you're saying to yourself, 'I don't know how she does it...' Let me tell you, it's with patience, practicality and purpose. This is one smart and selfless lady. Not to mention the goodness and generosity of her other half. Here's to you, M family of six. I take my hat off to you!

S boys

Sometimes the light, the mood, the people... they are all just perfect. It's been hit and miss with the weather this Spring, that's for sure, and I've got a backlog of sessions as long as my frontlog (well, you get it) but this Sunday evening shoot brought the glow. No questions asked. Two boys and their fab mama. Lucky, lucky little men. We ran, jumped, hula-hooped, fell and got back up again and their little personalities and lovely smiles shine through it all.

F boys and their Mama

There's no love like that of a mama's for her baby boy. And this little one is just about as cute as they come. Lucky boy clearly inherited his gorgeous good looks! Here's a tiny peek at our seasonable and fun session this week. And just wait until you see this little guy's big brother!

The Brothers M

Just love these four brothers and the promise of forever ahead of them. Four distinct and lively personalities, all oozing with goodness, humor and smarts. It seems such an honor to have time with families like these. Thank you for letting me capture this day, this season, this moment for you.
