I've been so happy with the wonderful weather and light we've been getting.  I traveled to CT to meet this lovely family and the conditions were truly perfect.  They had a beautiful property which served as the perfect backdrop for their family portraits.  Between that and the golden hour of light we had, I was really pleased with the way these came out.  The twins were so precious, I just loved watching them play together.  

I've been working with Natasha and her family for years.  I've been lucky enough to capture engagement photos, newborn photos, and more than annual photos of her family as they grow.  This time Natasha and Deane had asked me to shoot an extended family portrait session on Long Island to include Deane's family.  The cherry blossom in Deane's parents' front yard was in full bloom and it looked gorgeous in the photos.  Between the weather that's not too hot and not too cold and all of the flowers and trees in bloom, it's a great time of year for photos.  Natasha, you are always a pleasure to work with and I wasn't surprised to find out how sweet and welcoming Deane's family was to me.  You are blessed with a lovely family on either side.  Thanks for welcoming me to Glen Head!

This was my second visit with this family and this time, we were able to get everyone together.  Tracy had purchased a package of three sessions when her youngest arrived and this was session two.  Phoenixville was a great backdrop, it was quaint, quiet, colorful and friendly.  It was nice to get such a variety without having to go very far.  I love how everyone was dressed, the colors all complemented one another without being too "matchy".  The funniest part was that when I complimented Tracy on it, she said she hadn't even tried :)  Either way, don't they all look great?!

I love these little kiddos.  Some of my favorite shoots are with families who have hired me on a repeat basis and I get so excited when the kids remember me and are happy to see me, as was the case with this family.  The whole family couldn't be sweeter and every time I think the kids couldn't get any cuter, they do.  Can't wait to see you all in 2012!

I caught up with this sweet family and former wedding client last week at the Highline in NYC.  Their baby girl had me smiling for hours just thinking of her.  She was so happy and content the entire time, just giggling and enjoying the sunshine.  Heather and Derek, she is such a treat!
