Oh, this family’s not only the bee’s knees, they’re also the winners of my 2009 Barista Kids portrait session giveaway! Congratulations again, and so glad you could use your prize for some fun fall family portraits! (Can you say that really fast three times?!)
You all must know by now how I do love twin toddler energy, having a set of toddler boys at my house. I personally think it’s fascinating to see just how fast they can move in opposite directions : )
Add some pumpkins, bales of hay, and let the fun begin!
Many thanks to mom, dad and all the boys for a great shoot on a chilly fall afternoon. After all the wait, I think we scored on the fall foliage, so I’m glad you’re so happy with the results…me, too!
Another big thanks to Barista Kids for hosting this portrait session giveaway!

Okay–catching up on previews, which are now more like beloved re-runs as these families have already gotten the whole kit and caboodle. But I wanted to share these with you as well. Thanks to all the families for making this holiday season so very fantastic. Wishing you all a very happy holiday season, and a new year beyond your wildest dreams!
I think there are never enough chubby cheeks to go around, and this brother-sister twin team has some of the best I’ve ever seen! Just loved that we had such a beautiful fall afternoon to catch all the family fun. Thanks to mom and dad for being flexible around all that rainy fall weather. Special thanks to Grandpa F. for all of your key jingling holiday spirit that made this family shine!
Lots to celebrate during this session (below) — a double birthday weekend for this brother and sister who aren’t twins (imagine that!) and a family holiday portrait session to boot. I thoroughly enjoyed capturing this very handsome family for all these special occasions rolled up into one. Especially love Miss M.’s effortless smile (takes after her mom) and please tell Mr. J. I’m so glad he “didn’t” smile…just kidding…gotcha! And I was thrilled to get a truly shining portrait of mom and dad together–when’s the last time you and yours had the pleasure?! Beautiful day, beautiful family–so happy I got to know you all better on our walk to the park!
And these three sibling superheroes (below) possessed amazing powers, and I basked in the glow of all that energy! How could I not have fun chasing super kids around their backyard? It’s just not possible I say!!! Thanks to mom and dad for entrusting me to capture all this wonderful personality, and for letting us have the run of the yard for our session. Super fun!

Okay, to interrupt the chirping cricket soundtrack that’s been looping on my blog lately, I’m happy to finally be rolling out some previews from the holiday mini-sessions. Thanks so much to all the families who are staying flexible about the schedule for what I think is one of the moistest falls we’ve had in a long time. Don’t get me wrong, I love rain—seriously—but it doesn’t always make for great portraits. So glad that we had a streak of sunny days to get these portraits made! There’s still a little time left for you to book yours. I’ve extended the holiday mini-sessions through next weekend, Sunday, November 8. Catch the fall colors while they last!
This mother and son are my new BFF’s! The fun started the minute we jumped out of our cars until we sped away with silly grins on our faces. Mr. E. has the best sense of humor of any 7 year-old I’ve ever met…
…and I do love a mom who knows just when to turn on “the tickle.”
So glad to have met you both, and thanks for a super-enjoyable, easy, (literally) breezy mini-session!
I don’t think it possible for this family to be any more genuinely happy. At one point, I just had to ask, “Are you guys for real?!” I’m here to tell you the answer is a resounding “Yes!” It was my pleasure to bask in the glow of all this family love, and as luck would have it, on a glowing sunny afternoon. A tribute to you all.
I personally think that happy parents make for happy kids, and this session was no exception. And special thanks to dad for helping to make those smiles shine from behind the camera (just how you did it will be out little secret!).
I think these smiles say it all. Thank you all again for a really wonderful holiday mini-session. It was so very nice to get to know you!

I *love* to be in on a surprise, and the portraits from this photo session are a gift for a special dad (who I hope is not reading this right now, and if so, please act surprised!). These two little birdies were more than happy to fill me in on all the details so my lips are sealed from here on out. I will say that this got me to thinking about that Brady Bunch episode where the kids sneak out of the house to have a picture taken for an anniversary gift for their mom. Well, several Brady-style hijinx later, that story presented a well-intentioned moral about wearing your glasses, and one of those “it can only happen on television” happy endings, including a thrilled mom.
Okay, some people really don’t like to be surprised, but I sure do (hint, hint). And I hope this is one of the nicest surprises that this dad could imagine—portraits of his son and daughter at this time and place in their family history. I think these new images are ripe for the family photo wall. Thanks so much to mom, C. and C. for helping to make this a perfect gift.

A big thanks to Sara at Party Perfect for featuring images from my construction birthday party session (couldn’t have done it without Cohabitot’s Nancy Breslin and her super party finesse). What a great idea Sara has for a blog—party ideas for the party idea challenged (me included).

Two dates only from 10am to 4pm!
Manhattan—Saturday, October 10th
Brooklyn—Saturday, October 24th
(rain dates the 11th and the 25th)
Holiday portrait mini-sessions in NYC—$285.00
Due to many recent requests from families in New York City, I’m announcing two holiday specials to let them in on the holiday mini-session fun! For two dates only, you can capture the crispness of fall in beautiful outdoor settings in NYC—one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. That means you’ll meet me in one of the grandest green spaces each borough has to offer for a 30-minute session for your children or the whole family. These mini-sessions are a perfect way to capture portraits for your holiday or New Year’s cards, to mark a childhood milestone, or for a few fantastic fall images of your family. These special holiday packages are expected to fill quickly, so contact me soon to reserve your session.
Here’s what you’ll get:
– 30-minute session in a pre-determined (by me) outdoor location for up to 5 people
– a private online gallery featuring a minimum of 8-10 of the best images
– 25 custom press-printed holiday photo cards that we create together* OR one digital image sent by me directly to your stationer of choice (e.g. Tiny Prints, Minted, Pear Tree, etc.)
– $150.00 print credit to be spent on images from the session
Don’t wait to take advantage of these limited-time offers. Contact me today to reserve your session.
*A customizable selection of card designs will be available to mini-session clients (envelopes included). Additional photo cards may be purchased separately in sets of 25, one design per order.

Hmmm, wonder what it is about the fall season and twin birthdays? I’ve been privy to five, count ‘em, five twin celebrations for the under-3 set already. These handsome twin brothers were celebrating their big first birthday on the day of our session! See for yourself—you can get lost in those big brown puppy dog eyes. Just two dreamy little fellows with warm and wonderful personalities just like their proud parents. Congratulations on making it through that first big year…you did it! It was my pleasure to help you capture the moment. Many happy returns.
