Out of Service

I was so excited after I finished a hat for Claire this morning. I got her all dressed up, or down, with just the hat and set the bed up. Then I went to get my camera. Ugh! No camera!

I had to send my camera off to get fixed. I am not sure what is wrong with it, but I hope I get it back soon. Needless to say I will have to hold off on scheduling any new sessions.
I may be posting pictures from previous sessions that I never got around to posting, or I might just use my husband's Canon Powershot point-and-shoot camera. It sounds crazy, but I don't really know how to use the thing. Nevertheless, life must be captured!

And stay tuned for an exciting announcement!

Cousins

These beautiful boys are cousins. They are both so sweet, I wanted to scoop both of them up myself and just squeeze. Just look at those eyes! *sigh*

The effects of a tropical storm struck New York so we had our session inside.
Here are just a few.

















I'll have many more to show you soon, moms and dads.
Thanks!

And then, she looked at me...

My favorite photo, and look, from today.



Man, I love my kids!

Still my baby

It has been too long since I took time to photograph my kids. The time is always now, especially with this one while she changes so fast. She is still my baby though.
She is such a bright light in my life-- so sweet, so happy, so cuddly...

and so cute, if I do say so myself ;)

Just wanted to say...

Families in the Park

Central Park was chock full of photographers just like me taking pictures of families. I would see a photographer and a family behind me and after the next few shots, I would turn around and a new photographer and family had taken the their place. It's that time of year.
Well, I got to photograph this family today, again in Central Park.

Fall makes the park so much fun.
Thanks for today, you guys!

New England color

I've been collecting Fall...


Kingston, RI


Portsmouth, RI


Tyngsboro, MA


Mystic. CT


Newport, RI

Fall in New York is fading fast. I need to get outside before it goes away.

Finding time...

I just can't find the time to relax and blog like I want to, but I will throw these doors of Newport, Rhode Island on here for your viewing pleasure.

All of these doors have a personality of their own, a most likely representation of their owner's.
What does your door look like? ;)

Just a peek of Mystic

First time in Mystic, Connecticut today.
Charming.

More from yet another trip to New England later.

The Truscott Family

I've known these two since I was a kid, literally. I consider myself one lucky lady to have kept such a close relationship with them over the years. Their coolness blows my mind.

Love you guys!

Just one

One of these from today before I hit the sack.



More to come...

Jonathan Canlas and our family photos

Here we all are. Together in one photo. Shocking.
So, we finally have family pictures! I can't wait to put some up on our wall.



Many of you already guessed that we hired Jonathan Canlas when we were in Utah last month (his photo above). I have always loved his style (can you tell???) so I knew I would be happy with the results. He was also so great with the kids during the shoot and he made us feel so confident, something I am most definitely not when I'm in front of the camera.
If you are in Utah looking for your family to be photographed, among other things, he's your man!

You can go to his blog to see how sassy (and confident) I look! You'll know which picture I'm talking about :)

Thanks, Jonathan! We love what you did for us!

New Hampshire

I love living so close to New England. It is one thing I don't think I will ever take for granted.

This weekend, we visited friends up in New Hampshire. The colors up there were so vibrant and beautiful, but for some reason, I didn't take pictures of the leaves, trees and painted rolling hills. I mostly captured details of some of the places we went.

So charming. So New England.

The color is moving it's way south. It's welcome to stay as long as it wants.

We're off to New England.
Wee!

The rest of the family

Here are more from the family session out at this farm on Saturday. It was such a great place. I might take my family out there. Long Island is a treasure chest full of charming locations.

I just couldn't decide on a handful-- I have too many favorites. So get comfortable and enjoy!







































Don't these just sing Fall?
Ahhh...
