...Then they got married!

Sakiye and Dj tied the knot!
I told you I was there!

A great day for a great wedding!
I am glad I covered this lovely father - daughter dance, that the joy of this special moment will be a memory Sakiye will always cherish.
Her dear father passed not too long after this beautiful day.
It's these special moments that are priceless.

Family

I love this quote from Michael J. Fox:
"Family is not an important thing...
It's everything."

I enjoy working with families, meeting new families, and all the dynamics that make them a family.
I had a wonderful time working with this beautiful family.
They are strong, warm, and full fun.
What energy these children have and personalities!
To die for!!

Anticipating Babies!

There is nothing more exciting than the anticipation and arrival of new members to our families.
Angela and Justin joined me at Little Harbor to chronicle the moments before the birth of their little one. I enjoy doing baby shoots...especially when they make their appearance with a wiggle and a kick!
So exciting!

By the way... Little John is now over two!

Families...

Give the ones you love wings to fly,
roots to come back,
and reasons to stay.

Engagements.....

I love engagement shoots.
There is so much hope, love and the promise of whats to come.
Spectacular!

Sakiye and DJ
I loved working with this beautiful couple!
Sakiye and DJ have known each other for quite some time, a couple of equally GORGEOUS children later, they decided to solidify their love in front of family and friends...and I was there!

Mothers Day 2012

I have loved these kids since my first encounter with them!
They called me one day late in March and asked if I could do some pictures of them for their mother, a surprise Mother's Day gift.
Are you kidding? YES!
I got to know them very well on this very HOT, SWELTERING, April afternoon.
They are funny, polite, and all around awesome...heck, I will claim them!

Mother's Day with Crissy, Caty and Zachary!
