Grandparents Day…

I love it when my clients come back for more. It lets me know that they appreciate my style and love what I do for them.? Little Miss “A” is one of my favs from last fall so I was thrilled to get to shoot her again. ? You might recognize her beautiful blue eyes in my blog header.? For this shoot she brought along 3 very special people in her life, her grandparents.? We took a nice tour of a beautiful historic site in Poughkeepsie. I hope they enjoyed their visit and this precious time with Little Miss “A.”

Hideaway In Highland…

I can’t believe such a beautiful, peaceful place is only minutes away from my home.? I guess I haven’t lived here long enough to know all of Highland, but today I was just loving it.? This couple came up with their precious baby boy from NYC to visit this weekend and invited me over to come play.? I also got to kill 2 birds with 1 stone with this shoot, a mutual friend joined us.? So I got to photograph a precious little boy and visit with a sweet friend.? I have to say, she made a FABULOUS assistant.? She might have a future with Surprise Photography ;)

School Days…

This is was my 3rd year shooting this school’s preschool photos.? The kids are so cute and so much fun.? They have great grounds to work with including a big pirate ship!? Sorry, the use of tacky fake backgrounds will not be seen here :) ? If you are interested in me shooting your preschool next year, please have your director contact me regarding the details.

Dinos…

One of my sons favorite movies in the world is “Night at the Museum.”? All of his favorite “African Animals” and of course “REXY” appear in this movie.? So before the opening of “Night of the Museum 2,” we decided to take trip to NYC to the American Museum of Natural History so Brayden can see the real thing.? I think he went into Dino overload.? While Brayden was drooling over all the dinos on exhibit and explaining the difference between Protoceratops and Triceratops, Kieran, aka Mr Adventure, tried to crawl himself under the exhibit :)

Photographers Heaven…

The location I shot at last Saturday was a pure dream for any photographer.? I seriously went into creative overload.?? Normally I don’t like to shoot at any location more than a couple of times, just because I get bored, but I think I could do 10 shoots at this house and never use the same place twice.?? I was so in love, and in such a happy place with a happy family.? Thank you again for having me, and don’t be surprised if you find me wandering your yards with other people’s kiddies ;)

Eric and Erica…

Last weekend we had the privilege attending Eric and Erica’s wedding at Anthony’s Pier 9 in New Windsor.? It started off a little gray, but the weather held out and they had a beautiful outdoor ceremony.? The Surprise Family would like to wish nothing but the best to you two and we can’t wait for little “E’s.”
