Year In Review, Hudson Valley Photographer…

 

I am going to admit, although Surprise Photography had a wonderful year, I am looking forward to a fresh start in 2012.  My personal life took some real bad hits with unexpected deaths of friends and family, a dear friend being diagnosis with cancer and Kieran taking about 10 years off my life with two major accidents in one year.  Don’t worry, his is okay.  And although I tried to not it affect my work, I found myself not able to produce a final product as quick as I would wish.  I beat myself up a lot over it but came to realize, I am only human and I do have to put my family first.  I hired a wonderful girl to work with me this winter and plan on holding on to her tight.  She is the reason I survived the holidays season, our busiest ever!

Next year I will be lightening up my schedule a bit.  I will be traveling and doing several educations workshops, and taking several mini vacations with my family.  What I have learned last year, is that I need to put my family first, enjoy as much time with them as possible, enjoy life and take adventures, and surround myself with good positive people. A happier me will only make for a better Surprise Photography.

Again, I can’t thank you enough for being apart of our family this year. Here is a look back at some of the wonderful faces that we had the honor of capturing this year:

 

 

Happy Holidays!!!

Hello My Friends, Connecticut Family Photographer

 

I can not get enough of this family! I have been photographing them for a couple years now.  Momma and I go back to the college days, so it has been such a joy to watch her family grow.

VIP Holiday Mini Sessions, Hudson Valley Children Photographer…

 

I only do mini sessions once a year and offer them to the general public, but I wanted to do a little something special for this holiday season.  I understand how quickly our kiddies grow by the time holiday cards roll around, so for the first time I offered VIP mini sessions to a select number of clients who participated in full session from January thru August, 2011.  This gave my clients the opportunity to still have super fabulous holiday cards without having to invest in another full session.   I had a great time catching up with my little friends and I look forward to doing this again next year.

Friend of A Friend, Hudson Valley Family Photographer…

 

I met this family through the referral of a mutual friend.  I have been photographing a couple of mom’s friends for years, and finally she has joined the SP club!  An afternoon with a couple of brothers, that is something I can handle.  I have to give the boys a lot of credit, we shot and hung out for a while for the lighting to change and they held it together great.  Boys will be boys and they of course goofed off, but who doesn’t like being a bit goofy.

Hello Again, Hudson Valley Child Photographer…

 

I absolutely love it when my clients bring back my newborns so I can see how they have grown up.  Whether it is one or two years later, it is such a joy to watch them grow.  This little sweetie kept me on the move and even put on a little piano show.  If you look closely, yes she is kicking her stool back, channeling her inner Jerry Lee Lewis.  And of course, I can’t get enough playtime with puppy dog.  She was running laps around us for an hour straight.  I am sure both girls took a nice nap on the ride home.
