Don’t ask what has taken me so long to blog about this fabulous crew. Mom literally booked me a year out for this session so that she could have the colors of the fall. Normally the more children I photograph, the harder the shoot, but not this crew. They were just amazingly easy and so wonderful to work with. I look forward to the chance to do it again!
Peeking back to one of my favorite families from 2011. My first session with them just over the top amazing, I was questioning how I was going to top it. Lucky for me I had 5 camera ready kids and an super stylish mom to help me bang out another rockin session.
This family was not only one of the easiest to shoot, but also one of the funnest. Some of you foodies in the area might recognize Ed and his lovely wife. Ed is the owner and chef at Lola’s Cafe and my favorite restaurant in the Hudson Valley, Crave. Now I am hungry. And their kids, ummmm hello crazy beautiful family!
There was a lot of laughing, and a lot of goofing off during our shoot, most coming from the parents 
When we did their family picture standing amongst the trees, the kids mentioned they felt like they were in a scene of Twilight. I am going to admit, I’ve never seen it. So as long as their are not fangs and blood, I guess we are ok!
When my friend Kara found out she was pregnant with baby 3, she not only told me via instant message, but she also booked me on the spot. I was not only thrilled with the honor, but overwhelmed with happiness for her and her family. I have known Kara for a long time and I know how much of a blessing this baby was.
I have a great past with her kids, one of my favorite sessions when I first started my business. Both of them were fabulous little hams again for me, even thought the weather was a bit brisk. With a late December session, we were glad to get away with a cool breeze versus 3 feet of snow.
The story only starts here, more to come….
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.
If you ever drive south on 87 from 84, then you must have driven by Storm King Art Center, just off the thruway. For years I have been dying to visit this place and finally did on a wonderful fall afternoon. Although the sky was close to black at some points, we made it through the shoot without issue. The art center is so large, it is impossible to see it all in one afternoon.
These three kiddies were full of energy and may have not stayed in the same place for more than 2.5 seconds, which was only fitting for their ultra fun and untraditional family photo. One of my FAVS of all time. The little boy was the super ham, his twin sister was the quiet and shy one, while big sister was ultra curious and spent a large amount of time looking for cool bugs. Thank you so much for introducing me to such a wonderful place, I was able to visit again a couple weeks later with my own crew.
