I love this family. Couldn’t ask for better clients (in general, I consider myself very lucky to have so many wonderful client families in my home-away-from-home). No one can help but smile around little (well, actually, super-tall) Paige, and it’s evident in her parents’ giant, happy grins throughout all of their photos now and in years past. Such a happy trio. It’s contagious. 🙂

Photographing three brothers ages 18 months to 5 years could be rough (each wanting to do his own thing, not pausing for a split second, fighting with each other, etc.), but these kids are so great. We had a fun session that kept the boys entertained – filled with train-watching, martial-arts demonstrating, rock-gathering, and playground climbing. 🙂

Time flies for me with my clients, because I see most of them yearly, and it’s one of my favorite aspects of working with families with young children… I get to see the babies when they’re brand new to the world, then they’re toddlers learning how to walk on their own two feet, then they have siblings, then those siblings become their playmates, rivals, and best friends…
It’s been almost a year since I’ve photographed these sweet sisters… Eliana and Liora (and their parents, Matt and Alyson) had so much fun at this beautiful farm. 🙂

Happy, happy (day late) 4th birthday to my favorite little man… This violin-playing (learning), lemonade-stand-obsessed, goofy boy…

…this acrobat-wanna-be, this super sweet kid with a killer smile (especially when someone mentions candy)…

…this incredible (loving, concerned, caring, bossy, protective, entertaining) big cousin to our T…

…and now this new role, big brother to beautiful, tiny Maya Isabelle, who made her entrance yesterday, E’s 4th birthday…

Happy birthday, Zevvy – and happy birth-day, Maya!! ♥

Beautiful little Mimi…

I love that Mimi’s nanny Sonya was included in the shoot – She is definitely a huge part of Mimi’s life! 🙂

Happy belated first birthday to beautiful little Ava – and happy almost third birthday to her big sister, Arianna! Seems like just a few months ago we did this shoot with 4-month-old Arianna. She was such a little peanut (like her sister)… 🙂
The girls have grown up so much since our last session together in December. Crazy how big a difference a few months makes with little ones!

Breaking my blog hiatus with familiar faces… Love watching this crew as they grow up – and expand. I’ve been photographing them since there was just 4-month-old Ella, and now Maddie, the littlest, is already 8 months old! And Jack has gone from baby to boy so fast, talking and running up a storm. 🙂 They are a hilarious bunch and so loving of each other.

Happy second Father’s Day to my wonderful husband and T’s favorite man in the world…

…and to this loving Saba, my dad, who would do anything for his family…

…to Big Lou/Grampy, who needs a more recent photo with his granddaughter and who has worked insanely hard as a dad of six…

…to T’s Uncle Jonah, the father of the baby boy (who is almost four now… weeping) who made my heart burst the day he was born and continues to do so on a daily basis…

…to the hard-working, loving, bear-hugging dads I’m lucky enough to call friends and clients…

…and of course every single dad out there…
Happy, happy Father’s Day. Hope it’s wonderful and filled with reminders of how much your peanuts love you.

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!
…First, to the woman I’m lucky enough to call my mama and who is now one of my daughter’s very favorite people on the planet…

…and to my sister and quite likely the best mom there ever was (not biased at all, but seriously, just ask E, whose only complaint may be that he would like to have more candy as part of his regular diet)…

…to T’s Gram, the lady who created my husband (and five others, holy cow!)…

…to my girl, who made me a mama these last 14 months…

…and to the lovely mothers I get to call clients…

…and to every other mother I know and don’t…
Happy, happy Mother’s Day. I hope you get to sleep a little extra, lift your feet up for a few minutes, and get lots and lots of loving, giant cuddles.
