Cannon family

Amongst all of the craziness during my mini sessions, I was contacted by Terri who wanted a full session with me. She knew that her little one would be a typical toddler and we would need every bit of the 1-hour to capture as many good shots as possible! I met them at Alpine Groves and we had fun running around and playing. Little Peyton is just as gorgeous as can be. I was in awe of her itty-bitty Tiffany & Co jewelry! Heck, I don't even own any Tiffany jewelry. Yes, I am jealous of this child. I hope to work with this charming family again very soon! Enjoy.

The Blair family

First and foremost, I owe an apology to the Blair family for blogging this so late! I got caught up in the 4-day holiday weekend and just now had a chance to blog this. The Blair family is from my fall mini sessions at the park. The lovely lass in the photos is Melody, my cousin! I was so happy when Melody signed up for the mini sessions, as taking photos of family (and friends) is always fun for me. I had a good time with these guys- they are all so damn photogenic- you couldn't take a bad photo of any of them! Their son, Trent, graduated from high school this past year- I can't believe it- I can remember when he was born! He has grown into quite a handsome and accomplished young man- his parents are very proud of him. One last thing before I share the photos- Melody brought a cute and creative little sign as a "prop" for the holiday photos. "Mistletoe Kisses"- isn't it cute?? We had fun with it. Enjoy the pix!
And if you are planning a party and need a bouncy house, or any concession machines, the Blair family owns Nico Moonwalks. Check it out! www.nicomoonwalks.com

Nadeau family

The Nadeau family was a part of my "fall mini sessions" held Nov. 15th. Marie and I go back a LOOOOOONG ways! She and I took tap and jazz dance classes together at Betty Sullivan's Theater of Dance since around age 6!! We "step ball changed" along next to each other for many years. Then, once we graduated h.s. and quit taking dance, we lost track of each other. We re-connected this year on Facebook (gottta love it!) and turns out, she is happily married w/ a baby boy that is a spitting image of her! Isn't that red hair stunning?? I love red-heads. We enjoyed the time at the park- they were very relaxed and little Jack was running around all over the place, playing in dirt, being a little boy. Enjoy!

Marini family

I hosted my 1st "fall mini-sessions" at the park on Nov. 15th. I had a pretty good turnout- I was satisfied with that, since it was my 1st time. Plus, being 7 months pregnant, I wasn't sure I could handle waddling around all day and being on my feet for too long! It worked out perfectly. The day brought gorgeous weather. The only downside to that was the weather brought out hoards of people- so I really had to work around that.
Meet the Marini family. I met Jaime and Danny at a wedding (Emily and Jon's) earlier this year. I was thrilled when she emailed me after hearing about my mini sessions. They have an adorable daughter, Ava- she is absolutely gorgeous. Look at those eyes! However- she was less than thrilled to have her picture taken, as demonstrated in photo 1! But as with most toddlers, she soon loosened up and we had a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Dyal family + Charlie!

The Dyal family includes 3 beautiful little girls and now, they finally have their little boy: Charlie! I met up at the park on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon for a mini session with the Dyal's. Charlie is a Yorkie and he's approx 10 weeks old. Isn't he just the cutest little thing you've ever seen?? I just wanted to cuddle cuddle cuddle with him- and then I remembered I was *supposed* to be taking pix! Here are a few of my favs- enjoy!

Session at the park

Yesterday, I had a family session with Jenn and Keith and their adorable little blue-eyed cutie, Aiden. Jenn's parents were also visiting from N.J. and they were included in some of the shots, too! We were blessed with a beautiful Sunday afternoon, with blue skies and a bit of a breeze! It was a great day for a family session at the park! Here are a few favs. If you are planning a birthday party or weddings, check out Jenn's website, Red Velvet Armadillo http://www.redvelvetarmadillo.blogspot.com/ She does very creative (not to mention YUMMY) cupcakes, pastries, cakes and other treats.

Anndria & Gracie

On Sunday I enjoyed a very breezy and slightly chilly afternoon at the park w/ these 2 munchkins. I didn't know it going in- but I definitely had my work cut out for me with these cuties! Ages 3 and 1..... all over the place! Their mom put them in matching Harley Davidson outfits- so cute! Then they re-lived Halloween with their adorable fairy and Snow White costumes! Here are a few of my favs- enjoy!

The Barrett Family

Last Sunday I took pix of the Barrett family: Amy and her 2 sons Charlie and John. We had a lot of fun at the park- the boys kept me laughing the entire time! What a hoot! I think I really captured their quirky personalities in some of the pix! The 4 of us were lucky to catch a spectacular & colorful sunset at the end of our session. It was a beautiful evening!

Barron's 1st b-day!

I have been taking Barron's pictures since he was just a newborn! You may remember him in the cute Santa hat last year?! His mom Nichole asked me to photograph his 1st birthday festivities last Saturday at Losco Park- it was a hot September day but we were lucky to have quite a breeze... well.....I was lucky to have the breeze but some of the decorations didn't make it! A few balloons ended up in the trees! Jaxon De-ville made an appearance which made for great photo opps! And Miss Bubbles was there, too with her cool bubble machine. The kids had a great time and Barron ended the day with his baseball cake- he was not too sure about it and wasn't crazy about getting messy! Here are a few pix!
