With the hubby turning 40 this Saturday and our family having quite a full plate of life, the baby factory here is now closed. Even though I always yearned for four kids, just a few weeks ago, I did finally slowly start to part with all of the baby things that I’ve accumulated through the years, and I have surprised myself by feeling at peace with the finality of us being a family of five.
And then a smiley, happy, gurgly, charming, beautiful, blue-eyed 4-month old baby came to the studio.
And now, parting with those cute little roll top (dry rotting) baby socks is starting to feel not so cleansing anymore.
His sister I’ve photographed before and is always one of my favorite little girls. Now, she’s an amazing big sister:
Thanks again, guys! (And next time you need a sitter, you know who to call. ;)
Have I told you before how much I hate winter? No? Let’s put it this way, while 90% of everyone I know is thrilled when October rolls around on the calendar, I get into a funk because I know that days with open windows and short sleeves and shorts are over. I’d make a wonderful Floridian, I just can’t stand winter that much. So, this year, I surprised myself this year by putting out a call for snow sessions, because, even though I do hate the white stuff, I do have to admit that it does make absolutely gorgeous scenery. I may actually love it more than fall leaves at the end of October.
The best part of all about the cold? It sure does make kids snuggle in closer to their parents.
Thanks for an awesome session, Heather & Greg. Love you guys! xox

Every February 8th, I spend a little extra time cuddling my middle child at night before he goes to bed, and I make him promise to me–swear to me–that this will be his last birthday. And every February 9th, he bounds out of bed and stands in front of me with a huge smile on his face, looking a little older and a little taller, and giggles, “sorry!”
So here’s to hoping that we’ll figure out a way to make him stop at 7, because I sure do love him just as he is. :)
Whew! 27 sessions over 4 weeks. I was blessed working with such amazing families during one of the most beautiful times of the year. Granted, the scenery is gorgeous, but put once you add in some well-dressed and adorable kids? Ah, it’s a recipe for beautiful portraits!
Here’s a peek; one from each session. (And believe it or not, I’m shooting one more this week, so I’ll just have to add his in later this upcoming week. ;)
Thanks so very much to everyone!

There’s nothing more exciting than watching my clients’ families grow, and some of the babies I’ve photographed previously turn into big sisters and brothers. Evelyn was less than a year old the last time I saw her, and now she’s a proud big sister to Julia, one of the most content newborns I’ve ever photographed.
How blessed they are with two gorgeous girls! Congrats!
I’ve been really lucky this year to photograph so many twins (and a set of triplets, too!)–I think these sweet little guys may have been my sixth set this year, but my first set of identicals. I’m not sure Joe and me are parents who are cut out to be parents of multiples (especially if we had two Isaacs–oy!), but I sure do love working with twins and imagining how awesome it would be to grow up with a buddy who shares your same great looks and the same age. What a cool thing that would be.
How in the world did I become the mother of a third and first grader? At least I still have one at home, though he’ll be starting pre-preschool (well, that’s my name for it ;) next week. It’s pretty sad to see him wandering around this morning wondering where his brother and sister went.
We all know how much I love color, but I couldn’t resist how amazingly beautiful and these two look sisters look in black and white. Aren’t they stunning?

You know your job is good when you don’t mind working while on vacation. It’s even better when you have no choice but to kick off your shoes and roll around in the sand and the surf. :)
Last week, we were in Cape May for an awesome week with my family, and my brother’s family (I can’t even begin to look at my own pictures yet, but perhaps sometime I’ll get them edited and posted!), and while I was there, I was so lucky to take some time out of my vacation to work with an old friend that I haven’t seen since high school and her adorable boys, and see how much a little newborn I worked with last year had grown into a big and beautiful one year old!
Be prepared for picture overload–I love all the opportunities the beach provides for all those little documentary detail shots that just aren’t necessarily possible at a park, like sand on fingers and messy toes.

And look how much Ava has grown up from the last time I saw her!
Interested in a beach session? Last summer call: I am considering traveling to the Avalon or Cape May area for one more weekend in September. If you may be interested having portraits taken and soaking up that last little bit of summer, please contact me ASAP. Your travel fee will be waived as long as you’re staying in one of the southern New Jersey shore points.
