Lyla has become quite famous (on my blog) as the adorable Snow White from Halloween. Since we met her at 6 weeks, I was excited to one day have an official photo session with this little beauty. She is so easy-going, smiley, snuggly, and sweet – and that head of hair with those beautiful blue eyes…
Here’s the happy trio (Lis, you are gorgeous):

And Lyla showing off her sitting skills in her amazing outfit!

Lastly, a couple shots of Lyla giving her parents snuggles (I got some, too – she’s very generous with them!):

As a surprise for J’s birthday, I asked one of his best friends from college, Russell, to fly down from NY with his wife, Jordana, and beautiful new daughter, Madeline. It’s been way too long since we’ve visited NY, so we hadn’t seen Russ and Jordie in ages, let alone gotten to meet their now-4-month-old. They made the trek – Maddie’s first plane ride! – and we had a great, relaxing, fun weekend catching up with them… and falling in love with Maddie Cakes.
Before sending them back to chilly Long Island, we had a tropical family photo shoot on one of our last warm days…

And here’s a collage of little Madeline Leah, the peanut who stole our hearts… Her expressions are priceless, and those giant blue eyes with that soft head… I miss you, Maddie!

Thank you, Russ and Jordie (and Maddie!), for making the trip down here to make J’s 30th extra awesome!! Hugs.

Almost exactly a month ago, I posted some photos of Giovanna, Peppe, and Eleonora, who were expecting a new addition to the family in late November. Well, Veronica was born Tuesday, November 21, and I had the absolute pleasure of capturing her at five days old. One of the most beautiful little creatures I’ve ever laid eyes on, here she is:

And the two gorgeous sisters:

Veronica with her also-beautiful parents, Giovanna and Peppe:

And lastly, Eleonora’s last photo got so many responses, I had to post another one of her. Can you even stand how beautiful she is?

Thank you, Giovanna and Peppe, for inviting me and J to celebrate this amazing time in your family (and preparing one of the best meals either of us has ever eaten!). 🙂 Congratulations on your incredible baby girl!

I love photographing children, love it. But teenagers are in their own category, and I have so much fun on shoots with them (even though they usually make me feel old; when did that happen??). Teenagers/high school students have the right blend of confidence and, at least for the one hour they’re with me, discipline. They will do what I tell them and look great doing it, but they also come up with their own ideas, which are usually pretty awesome…
For example, Blaise picked our location, and it was perfect. Go Blaise!
Check him out:

And I love this close-up:

One last shot, one of my favorites:

We also included Blaise’s 13-year-old sister, Mia, in the shoot – photos of her and the two of them to come.
Thanks for the great shoot and awesome location, Blaise!

Sydney is no stranger to my camera. Here she is at 2.5 weeks, 5 months, 8 months, and almost one year.
We did a fun New Year’s holiday card this time, but that I’ll save for another post. Here’s a peek at some of my favorite shots of Syd’s fall session. It’s so warm and cozy, especially that family snuggle shot…

I hope everyone had a happy, yummy Thanksgiving! I’m still in a food coma, I think…
Ben is such a happy-go-lucky guy. During our last photo shoot, when he was 10 months, he just grinned and sat contentedly. This time, he braved the cold and enjoyed watching the ducks and picking up leaves. 🙂 And he posed so happily with his adorable hat and blazer (maybe it was the wild kids taking a blow-up boat out on the pond that had him so entertained):

And my favorite family shots:

Actually, this might be my favorite. How cute is this moment?

Happy holiday weekend, everyone!

We almost canceled this shoot because little Rowan had a bit of a cold, but I’m so happy we went through with it! These three were so much fun and ridiculously adorable… and other than a sniffly nose, Rowan was a champ! They have spunky personalities and were great models on their own and together. Couldn’t have asked for better!
The kids played on the beach (still can’t get over that there’s a beach in Cleveland) in the fall sun… so beautiful!

I feel like you can’t not smile at the sight of these three happy siblings:

We also did a “precious parts” series of little Rowan. It must’ve been a funny scene, us trying to get him to show off his little body parts, but he was a great sport! I loved his mom’s idea of having him hold a toy that he likes – illustrates a bit of his personality. 🙂

I haven’t seen Jack since he was 7 months old (almost exactly a year ago). This year, at 19 months, he’s turned into a kid! – running around, laughing, pulling his wagon, attempting to play football with his dad, and very, very attached to his Elmo. He still has a super cute smile and the softest, fuzziest hair you just want to rub.
Here’s Jack with his parents, Katie and Josh:

And toting around his friend Elmo and an empty wagon:

Chilling and grinning in the wagon:

I had to include this one, too. It amuses me. 🙂

Merry *second* Christmas, Jack! So fun to follow little ones as the time passes… and a bit sad considering how quickly it all goes.

These brothers are so, so cute and fun. Alexander is 3 and of course full of energy. He could’ve bounced on his mini trampoline for the entire session, had we not wanted some other shots! It reminded me of when our buddy Danni would jump on our bed for hours, yelling, “I’m jumping! I’m jumping!” Tireless, those guys!
Here’s the bouncing boy:

And his 6-month-old brother Oliver having fun on the swing:

We managed to get Alexander to sit still for a few minutes to pose with his brother:

And lastly, the boys snuggle with their beautiful mom:
