what a fun.. action-packed.. rain-filled beach day! we walked on to the beach and it was all sun in every direction and then, suddenly, the clouds converged and, we had RAIN —- but, it didn’t stop us! we still managed to have a lot of fun dipping our feet in the ocean (ok, some of our whole pants legs), running around on the sand and enjoying each others company. this family was so down to earth and, just fun to be around. i had a great day with you all!! enjoy the sneak peek!

remember this contest?? well, it turns out that i was the lucky one! i got to work with such a beautiful, kind family. they were such an amazing joy to work with. they had such great ideas for poses and, were open to having fun! i’m so glad that you all were the ones to win my we’re-moving-to-delaware contest… i couldn’t have been more happy to work with such a nice group of people. it was wonderful to meet you… thank you. enjoy the sneak peek!

what can i say… i was sitting in the family room while kara was taking a nap and, in walks molly. she dressed herself in her new fall jeans, a sun dress and a head piece she created with pipe cleaners. i gasped.. “you are so sweet! look how pretty you are”. i couldn’t resist taking her out front for a few shots. i love her to pieces.

one of the best things about my job is working with wonderful people… and today was no exception. what sweet, welcoming, lovely people! i am so lucky to have been able to work with this wonderful couple, their amazing dog, and they darling baby boy. thank you for having me in your home today and allowing me to capture these new moments of you all together. i hope you enjoy every part of being new parents! congrats again! enjoy the sneak peek!

this little guy was so sweet! it was his first time (ever!) on the sand. how lucky was i to capture these first moments as they unfolded. he took a few minutes to warm up and, then loved it. after a little bit of time… he was crawling, playing and walking in it like an old pro! he collected a few shells and, soaked up some rays. it was a lovely morning and, i couldn’t have enjoyed the company of this sweet boy (and, his family!!) any more. enjoy the sneak peek!

shhh… this little sweetheart’s photos are a surprise for daddy. isn’t that sweet!! he smiled at me the second i walked in the door.. i knew he was going to be such a joy. the love between him and his mother was so evident. first, could she be any more gorgeous?? second, it’s clear, this boy is lucky to have such a loving mom to care for him and, i know his dad is going to be so happy to see his sweet face in a frame on father’s day. ok, now.. don’t tell. it’s a secret. ahhh… he is just so darling. enjoy the sneak peek!

oh. my. goodness. i have never had a child LOVE the camera as much as she did — well, it didn’t hurt that we fell in love a little bit, too it was so fun to watch her in action.. we were all laughing at her and her little model self. just take a look at this sneak peek and you will see what i mean, so cute! i had SUCH a nice time this afternoon… it was a pleasure to work with you! thanks so much.. enjoy the sneak peek!

i had the pleasure of photographing this family last year… so you can imagine how excited i was when they asked me to photograph their wedding!! we had so much fun working together in their home. i knew that it would be such a joy to see these two get married. i adore their children and, can’t stop smiling when i am in their presence. it was a beautiful ceremony and, a VERY fun reception! you know it’s a good wedding when the photographer laughs and cries right along with everyone — thank you so much for hiring me to capture your very special day. enjoy the sneak peek! happy honeymooning!! and….. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
