FB makes the world so small

Face Book has made the world so very small and in doing so created large opportunities. I got to reconnect with this family. They were my neighbors when I was a child. "G" and I had similar childhood dynamics as a kid. My cousin came to live with my family when I was child and although she was 30ish years my senior Doris instantly became the baby sister I craved. Now as an adult "G" also has two beautiful children, teaches and is an amazing photographer in her own right......weird... must have been something in the water. I appreciated the chance to photograph this family that has blossomed with love. "Miss C" is clearly a proud Auntie and it was my pleasure to receive a warm hug from her..such a love! Look at Grandpa smiling at his granddaughter so filled with joy. After raising two beautiful ladies Grandma and Grandpa get to experience having a grandson and son in law too! I'd say...jackpot!

Hope and Strength

Hope and Strength.. every solid relationship needs these. The bride and groom ran in a breast cancer fundraiser and decided to incorporate this experience into their wedding with the bracelet favors. They shared their passion for fitness and family by taking part in this special event. Days prior to the wedding it rained...well poured. The tree and outside grounds were very important to the couple at their venue, it was one of the reasons they choose Valentino's on the Green . The ground was wet and I didn't want the bride to get her dress or shoes muddy, so I asked this fit physical education teacher to pick up and carry his bride to this scenic spot. The celebration continued with a lively crowd that knew how to dance. Wishing you all the best, the adventure has just begun.........

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Parker

I am having a difficult time trying to narrow down my sneak peek..so I decided this will be one of two preview posts....I first have to admit I am really not an animal lover...sorry... BUT... for real...can you even stand the doggie and bride..licking her freshly make- up, wedding ready, beautiful face! I mean it her face... gorgeous! I couldn't resist this portrait through the veil. If you look closely you will notice the ring bearer is actually air born.. running full speed down the aisle! His big sister managed to catch some huge bug during the ceremony (no I don't know the name..not into the bug thing either). Not sure who had the handy food container, but this upstate girl was impressed by the Queens wildlife and landscape...beautiful trees to come in the next post. The brides father patted her head in the most gentle manner during their dance...get it together Jamie your the photographer you can't cry (but I did..just a quick little happy cry). As a mother of two little boys myself I am always going to be a sucker for the groom kissing his Mom..and look at how happy his grandparents are! Stay tuned the dancing just started....there was ENERGY at this wedding...more sneak peeks to come....
* special thanks to my fab second shooter Rachel of Rachel Leib Photography

BIG boy "J" becomes a BIG brother

This is the third year I have photographed the big brother picture above. Just when you think a kid can't get any cuter they do! Believe me look at his old pictures. This was a big year for "J" as he became a BIG Brother! We started the shoot with our annual Hudson River backdrop but holy bugs Batman..post flood the Hudson Valley... well should be called a swamp. As we were leaving and swatting our faces a train whistled and his Daddy and I looked at each other and knew it was not quite time to put him in the car. As kids get bigger I feel this need to make them look smaller...look he still is a peanut next to this big train. After we headed back to the house to get some shots of 10 day old baby brother "Mr. D". You know when babies are so fresh and you can't stop looking at them...I love this picture of his parents. Even managed to steal a kiss shot...believe me this happened in a flash. Brother "J" is ready to help... placing the hat on his brother's FACE...ahh.. what a great reaction! I have two boys myself this WILL be an adventure...but they have a Mommy that is sure to handle boyhood with grace.

Look at how "J" has grown...too fast I tell you.....

Meet the "V" family & their smiley sleepy baby!

The latest addition to this gang clearly makes their circle complete. This little man and his beautiful big sister, make for two proud parents. This Daddy was beaming and the Mom was so relaxed...why wouldn't she be her little guy smiles in his sleep...for real? Coming from a mom of two colicky boys...yes I am a wee bit jealous of this. Baby "J's" fresh baby skin, next to tanned L.B.I. faces is a winning combination. Their daughter's eyes match the comforter...and are simply gorgeous! XOXO to this Family!

look at these CURLS!

So I met this incredibly handsome fella this past weekend and was instantly in aww and a yes a wee bit jealous of his amazing curls. His curls brought back memories of the hair I desperately attempted to have, when my mom used to give me those TERRIBLE boxed home perms in the 80's. Mr"A" here is an example of Natural beauty. Ummm....you see the blue eyes too right? How could you not, they are captivating! This little toddler is surrounded with so much love and it was a pleasure to photograph this family. Take a look at his belly wrinkles..I just love that soft innocence...precious.
