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!

Liora

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):

Eliana & Liora

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!

The main reason for this trip to Cleveland in not-so-toasty February was to photograph Chad’s bar mitzvah this past weekend. (I’m loving the events lately – a New Year’s wedding in Boston, a Sarasota Sweet 16, and now the Cleveland bar mitzvah – such great times!)

Chad and his family were amazing – so welcoming, fun, and sweet… and when did 13-year-olds become so awesome?! They partied from early evening until late in the night, dancing up a storm (I especially loved the impromptu “Dougie” performance by three of Chad’s friends – someone please share a video) and celebrating with Chad.

Here’s a collage of some highlights:

And a shot of Chad and his family after the morning services:

Excited to photograph the family session over the weekend!

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!

Arianna

How amazing are these leg warmers?

Arianna

Last one for now… I am in love with this family photo:Nate, Arianna, and Yana

🙂 Loved this shoot!

Last week, I posted some shots of gorgeous Vivi before her big Sweet 16 party. Here are a few more from last week’s session:

I love looking at these two shots of the family back to back:  🙂

Now for Vivi’s party Saturday night… Everyone had so much fun, they extended the party until 2am! There was food and dancing, dancing, dancing, with two really great DJs, a performance by Simple as Surgery, and late-night dance tunes by a live band accompanying cotillón (or “crazy hour”), a Latin party tradition.

Here’s a collage of some of my favorite shots (everyone wore black and white, and Vivi had two purple dresses :-)). (That’s a virgin sour apple martini, by the way…)

In preparation for her upcoming Sweet 16, we shot some photos of Vivi and her family by their gorgeous home. I’m excited to photograph her big party this weekend!

She swears to me she’s never done any modeling, but I find that hard to believe, no??

Vivi

I mean, come on…

Vivi

The camera loves her, as they say.

Her family’s not too bad, either. 🙂 So fun and easy to photograph – I love it!

One last shot of Vivi (for now). I’m obsessed.

Vivi

Sheesh, she’s gorg.

Saving the photos of Vivi in her super-fun dress to keep it as a surprise for the guests. 🙂

Happy weekend!

You may remember Remy’s first photo on my blog from almost exactly one year ago. And some other shots here and here. He is so sweet, handsome, and ridiculously cute. Talia’s no stranger to my camera, either, since I’ve photographed her face no less than 100 times for her leather accessories line, Green Apple Accessories. We finally did a family shoot, back at Selby Gardens (where we did Remy’s first session), this past weekend.

How cute are they?

Shelby, Remy, & Talia

I can’t really stand how cute Rem is in this one. And those eyes are just too much:

Remy

A couple more favorites… Rem in his glory:

Loved photographing this trio. 🙂 Glad we finally made it happen, T!

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:

E

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…

E

Getting some shells with Lauren:

E & Lauren

And one of my favorites – E with his mama. I want to kiss that face.

E & Dana

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:

Lauren & 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!

Our good friends Steve and Karin – and their adorable 2-year-old daughter Summer (some photos of Summer in May ’10 here) – just welcomed Sienna Faith to the family. We met the precious, gorgeous little one at 6 days old. We knew they’d have a cute one, and Sienna is scrumptious. Perfect newborn model, too!

Steve had a photo in mind that he really wanted to capture Sienna’s tinyness. Here it is:

Sienna

Isn’t she edible and so, so pretty?

Sienna

My favorite family shots… Summer doesn’t quite know what to make of Sienna quite yet, but she does know how to smile for a photo! 🙂 (And Sienna’s little mouth just makes me nuts with how cute it is!)

Sienna, Summer, Karin, and Steve

Congratulations, Karin, Steve, and Summer! We are already in love with Sienna. 🙂

Nolan is one of my regulars – So much fun to see a family every few months… watch the baby steps (literally).

Since Nolan’s almost-one-year shoot was too summery for a holiday card feel, we met again in November to capture the season… and to finally get some family photos!

Kari, Nolan, and Kevin

Here’s another of the trio that I love – they’re so happy (even whilst fighting colds):

Kevin, Nolan, and Kari

Love the sheer excitement in this one. Why do babies love being scared so much?! (Or am I just projecting because I know being tossed in the air would freak me out…?)

Nolan and Kevin

His eyes are ridiculous! Like a crystal ball or something – They’re very magical.

Nolan

Last one of the little guy munching on some bark… 🙂 Doesn’t he look like he knows he’s doing something he shouldn’t be…?

Nolan

Merry almost Christmas, Nolan, Kari, and Kevin!
