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.

Baby “J” At Home, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

 

Just days after meeting baby “J” at the hospital, I got the privilege of coming to his home and shooting his newborn pictures.  I am a fan of older homes with character, heck I bought one, but this one had killer hardwoods and a gorgeous wooden staircase, so for me to shoot here was a big SCORE!  He was bright eyed most of our visit but after some work of being super cute, we finally got him to rest his eyes. It must be the bucket.

Welcome Baby “J,” Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer

 

YES, I am still here and finally back on the blog. I will admit, I was worried I wouldn’t remembered my blog login, it has been that long.  I have had a wonderful and overwhelming holiday season.  We were shooting almost 4-5 days a week, I am normally shooing 2, so we are now catching up!

This October I had the joy of meeting this little guy.  He is a sweet little treasure and the son of a former bride and groom.  Can I say how lucky I feel that they continued their journey of growing their family with me.   I had just gotten home from a shoot at Vassar hospital and got the phone call, “He is here!!!”  I’m like, I was just there.  What a baby week!

Baby J, I look forward to watching you grow!
