A slightly belated 18-month post for E’s cousin Nathan, so happy 19.5 months, little guy!
These are my two favorite shots of this incredibly adorable boy’s session. He’s so photogenic – that hair, those eyes, his sweet expressions… I think he’s getting even cuter! And the outfit complements his coloring so well (nice work, Ben!). I love photographing this kid!

A couple family photos of the Cleveland crew enjoying the beautiful March FL sunshine. (E kills me in that hat.)
And the boy doing what he loves best, snacking:

E’s in Sarasota! 🙂
Snuggle time with J, signing “water” while looking at the ocean, and hoping to see some birds:

I was so excited that this family was up for a full-on snowy session! And they brought along their gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog, Apollo (my second puppies-in-snow shoot for the week!). I think 8-year-old Jacob was excited to be able to sled and play, while 17-month-old Asher was a little unsure of the knee-deep snow… Apollo had a blast and was not the easiest to corral, but we managed to get a bunch of great family shots nonetheless. And they were all great sports about the chilly temps and lack of plowed paths!
Here’s one of my faves:
I love this moment:
This one, too (Asher’s first time sledding!) 🙂
Asher didn’t really mind the snow when he had a sled to sit on:
And one last shot of the beautiful Apollo in his glory:

It’s official. E’s a kid. I used to think 18-month-olds were still babies, but considering E says “baby” (well, signs it – he’s working on the words thing) when he sees a little one, I’m not sure anymore… (I recommend skipping to the photos if you aren’t obsessed with E.)
He makes up his own games (rolling a ball under furniture, saying “Uh oh!”, and attempting to retrieve it with a stick – good times), feeds himself with utensils (until the food-to-mouth speed becomes too frustrating and he reverts back to hands), loves slapstick comedy (if you want to see the kid laugh, bonk your head on a cabinet, accidentally – he knows the difference, or pretend to feed yogurt to a plant), and has a memory that I can’t believe… During one snowfall, I quickly pointed out the snowflakes on his sleeves – I am obsessed with those beautifully formed snowflakes that look fake they’re so perfect – and over a week later, when we watched snow coming down from inside, he pointed to sleeve and looked at me, wondering why those snowflakes weren’t on his arm again (I didn’t say he’s a genius that grasps the concept that the snow wouldn’t fall inside).
Here are some shots I took of him last week with his BFFs (I found someone who can appreciate my monkey collection – and make it less weird that I still have it!). He was acting like a monkey here – if only I had accompanying audio… His monkey sound is at a decibel that’s hard to reach…
This boy is so expressive. I can’t even stand his face in the first photo in the second row. He’s always loved to have a bit of a spaz-fest:
And a shot of this precious kissable face:
These past 18 months have been the best – Thanks, Ezel, for being so much fun! Excited for millions more snuggles, laughs, and kisses (although now he’s starting to have opinions about when we’re allowed to kiss him – not sure how I feel about that).

Heading back to FL, but first I have to post about this little one…
On Friday, I photographed beautiful, tiny 6-day-old Liora Keren (before her baby naming, actually, so big sister Eliana was calling her “Tallulah” after a favorite character in one of her books). She was so alert, adorable, and petite, and the house was filled with coziness and love – one of the things I love about going to families’ homes for newborn shoots.
Just look at this precious munchkin!
She didn’t love every minute of our session, but I love this shot. Is it wrong that I find something really sweet about a crying newborn?
Some sister snuggle time (on a baby blanket that’s been in the family for 30 years):
Lots of love for Liora… (Note that Elie is reading her “big sister” book – so cute.)
Congratulations to Alyson, Matt, Elie (my name and birthday twin!), and family on sweet baby Liora Keren!

I’ve been excited to photograph Arianna since the fall, and I finally got my camera on her as my first portrait session of this Cleveland trip. Photographing her and her parents, Yana and Nate, was so easy and fun. We got this great shot within the first minute of shooting… Ridiculous!
How amazing are these leg warmers?
Last one for now… I am in love with this family photo:
🙂 Loved this shoot!

Headed to Cleveland to kiss this man today:
Going to try to stay warm (or at least not lose a finger), photograph a bar mitzvah and some other fun shoots, and play with E… will be back in the warmth soon!

For the 10 days since we’ve been home from Boston, we’ve had visitors, creating sort of an extended holiday celebration – always a great excuse to take some time off to have fun and enjoy each other and Sarasota.
First, Dana and E were here, and even though E was a bit under the weather, we had so much fun. I didn’t realize 17 months (TODAY – Happy 17 Months, E!!) was such a cute age! He understands so much, makes us laugh all day, and is a really sweet little man.
Here he is at a playground, with his eyes looking nothing short of ridiculous:
Before Dana and E left, J’s sister Lauren and her boyfriend came to visit. We took E to the beach on a very breezy, chilly day, and E actually liked it better than when it was warm and sunny!
(All of the following photos were taken with my PEN camera.)
Nokomis Beach with no one else in sight…
Getting some shells with Lauren:
And one of my favorites – E with his mama. I want to kiss that face.
After Dana and E headed back to snowy Cleveland, the weather warmed back up a bit and we spent some more time at the beach, taking some romantic shots of Lauren and Kent:
What a nice way to come home… Now it’s back to reality, although that’s not so bad when it’s 70 degrees in January! Thanks for the great visits, guys!
