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:Β  πŸ™‚

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 cotillΓ³n (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…

The camera loves her, as they say.

Her family’s not too bad, either. πŸ™‚ 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. πŸ™‚

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:

A couple more favorites… Rem in his glory:

Loved photographing this trio. πŸ™‚ 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.)

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! πŸ™‚ (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. πŸ™‚

I have been wanting to photograph these handsome little devils for many months. We met them at the Y – Their mom is my super awesome spin instructor, Kim, and they are so good-looking and sweet… and Red Sox/Pats fans!

I was prepared to do a lot of running around chasing them to get decent shots, and although I did a bit of that, these guys were *amazing* models. They had poses and scene ideas, perfect smiles and hugs, and were so much fun. I was inspired. So be prepared – lots of photos coming up…

My favorite of each:

Cameron & Caiden

And both of these I love love love – Caiden came up with this pose on his own:

Cameron & Caiden

Cameron & Caiden

How crazy cute are they? Sheesh.

Caiden & Cameron

Models, I tell you…

Caiden

Okay, just a couple more… I am obsessed with Caiden’s expression here, and the polarity of the two is too funny!

Cameron & Caiden

Caiden got super excited by the policeman who showed up with his whistle (thanks, policeman!):

Caiden & Cameron

Last shot… I know it’s a good moment when I’m melting as I’m taking the photo. These boys love their mom so much. Can’t stand it.

My sister thought it would be fun to bake some treats and bring E to a firehouse when they were here last week since the boy is so into trucks of all kinds. His favorite noise to make is “vroom!” (it sounds something like that), and he gets super excited anytime he sees a fire truck, airplane, train, construction vehicle, and so on. Our friend Kevyn is a North Port firefighter, so we baked a bunch of brownies and cupcakes and headed down to Station 82 – which is a ridiculously awesome, well-equipped, fancy-lookin’ firehouse.

Although E was borderline terrified of Kev’s helmet (which, I have to say, was super heavy and smelled like burnt rubber, so I get it), he loved running around the station and climbing on the truck (and maybe also stealing a cupcake…).

In his glory (he’s making his truck sound in the middle shot):

Thanks for showing us around, Kev!

Second newborn this week – so cozy on these chilly days. πŸ™‚

This one is Micah Tovi, the little guy (well, not so little – born at 9 pounds!) of Keren, Josh, and big brother Adley (check out Keren and Adley). Micah is so loved, and his grandparents flew in from all over the world to meet him.

Here’s the whole crew. Could they look any happier?

Micah and family

Just like Emma last week, Micah was totally alert almost the entire session. For most of the time, he was content, but he had some fussy moments and needed some calming down from his mama. Is it wrong that I find this really cute?

Keren and Micah

Now resting calmly while Adley poses with him:

Adley and Micah

One last shot… just Micah being handsome and wide-eyed:

Mazal tov, Keren, Josh, Adley, and family!

I knew after their pregnancy shoot that Bri and Anthony’s baby was going to be adorable, and wow – Emma is a stunner. She was 8 days old when I photographed her the other day, and she was wide awake the whole time!

Here’s the beauty:

With her gorgeous mom:

I love this shot of her and her dad, Anthony:

…and the adoring looks from both parents.Β  Isn’t she a doll?!

Congratulations, Bri, Anthony, and family!! Emma’s such a wonderfully sweet and gorgeous addition to the family. Thank you for having me help capture this time in your lives. πŸ™‚

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):

Lisa, Lyla, and Todd

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!):
