I know there are hotter places on the planet… I get that.  However, I don’t choose to live in those places so I will just vent about the Valley.  I hate the heat!  Luckily, my shoots are generally scheduled for early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s not too bad.

Monday was a strange day for weather.  All the forecasts projected this horrible scenario for rain late in the afternoon, right at my scheduled shoot time.  I talked with my Fan Club President, who had organized a mini-shoot for her friends, and we agreed it was best to reschedule.  Then the sun came out!! So we scrambled to get it back on.  Dripping with sweat, we made it happen.

With the high temperatures, I wasn’t sure how my shoot was going to go on Wednesday night.  The heat was pretty brutal during the day and I was really drained.  Luckily, I cranked the A/C and headed to the waterfront where a cool breeze kept us all from overheating.  I enjoyed what might be my very last shoot (for a while at least) at Marist College (my alma mater).

There must be something in the water ’round here because I have been bombarded by BABIES!  Newborns are hatching left and right and I have been fortunate enough to capture some cuties!

Ok, it’s probably not fair to put this cutie up first since she is my bff’s baby.  Little N made mommy and daddy miss my husband’s birthday party this year (which, if you know us, is a HUGE deal) so she better have been cute to justify such a thing and she didn’t disappoint!!

This week I had Mr H stop by my house for some photo fun, his first long car ride!  He was so good…. awake most of the time but that’s just fine with us!

Finally, this week I had the chance to drive down to Greenwood Lake (a new destination for me) and I was eager to go because it’s home to a vacation villa owned by (my boyfriend, did I just type that???) Derek Jeter.  I did keep focused on the task at hand and got some great photos of a very sleepy Miss F.  She is the first newborn I’ve ever work with who was asleep for the entire shoot.  I just soaked in all of her newborn-ness.

I know I have said this before but I am just a really bad blogger.  Facebook just makes everything sooooo easy that I really neglect my blog.  I apologize and say (again) that I will get better!

In big news, my husband has taken a new job with his company that will relocate the family to Europe for several years (with trips home, of course!!!) so I have been splitting my time trying to cram in all of my shoots and scrap work while trying to clean up the house and getting rid of the non-essentials.

Keep an eye out for my blog posts from Romania and other parts of Europe.  My family is very excited to start this new adventure and we are extremely proud of my husband, Andrew for pushing for this opportunity.

Meanwhile, here are just a few shots from the past few months.  I love the variety within these shoots, never a dull moment!

I’m always excited to share little peeks from my shoots for my clients.  With Facebook I get the added bonus of having these photos show up right on the wall for my client to see.  Alas, Facebook has decided to have their photo uploader take a vacation this weekend so I will share my pics from this morning here instead.

I absolutely adore the K family.  This is my third time with them and to see how much the kids have grown just makes me so thrilled to be their photographer.

Last week we were lucky enough to have a “snow day” in May.  My daughters’ school had a water main break.  Initially, my reaction was “oh man! I have so much work to do that won’t get done now!” but then, after chatting with some of my local gal-pals, I decided that this was a wonderful chance to forget work and just get out and play!  For the kids, this mean enjoying each other’s company running around the second-to-none gardens of Innis Free.  For me, it meant grabbing my camera and just trying to capture as much of the fun as possible.

After a seemingly NEVER ENDING winter we FINALLY had a brief spring (I think we’re officially in summer right now, it’s 85 outside!).  I have been super busy with shoots!  I was in my glory running around the Valley to meet with families.

One thing that has been wildly popular is the mini-shoot party.   The hostess receives a free session for doing all the hard work of organizing all of the friends and families that want a session.  Each session is approximately 30 minutes and really gives a family a little taste of what it’s like to have a custom family photo shoot at a beautiful location.  These parties are LIMITED so contact me ASAP if you are interested.

Meanwhile, I am going to make an effort to be better about blogging (yes, I’ve said it before!)

I am beyond excited to be teaming up with The Vintage Crush to provide custom frames for my clients!  With so many options available I know that my clients will be able to put their one of a kind photos into equally unique frames.

Contact me for ordering details!  Below, I have information posted on colors that are available and just some of the shapes.  I will be posting more information in my web gallery and in my online shopping cart.

Finally coming up for air!!! It’s been a busy few weeks and promising to become even busier in the coming weeks as the weather FINALLY seems to be getting better!

I have had such a variety of shoot lately that I thought I’d share just a few.  I hope you are keeping up with my day to day activities on my Facebook Page

I hope you are all having a wonderful spring!
