Summer is here, and that means the girls are on vacation, and so am I. I put down my camera professionally and dive into some family time. Here’s a little fireworks from the 3rd (yes the 3rd) at Conesus.
And my last client to squeeze into summer is Declan, this cute little tike, at two years old. I got to meet him a few times, and each times just gets more fun. He has stunning red hair, a fascination with red fire trucks, and the cutest little smile ever…
I met up with Eliot and his family in January and had a fun, fun session inside their home. They invited me back to shoot his first birthday party. Eliot LOVED the water, and well, wasn’t so sure about the cake.
Can you say ONE:
Our whole family drove in to DC to meet up with Sophie. I got to meet her when she was still a newborn in January. Now my girls got to meet her and they LOVED her. Between Sophie and Hobbs (the cat) they were entertained for hours.
Sophie is the littlest, cutest, most precious, chubby cheeked baby going:

Being an Auntie isn’t new, but being an Auntie to a boy AND seeing my little sister be a Mom is something wonderful. First off, we tend to produce girls. RW (Dad) produced three girls (his payback from the universe, in advance). Then the first four grandchildren were four more girls. All very lovable, and wonderful–and very girl. And now we have a boy. The “Golden Ticket” as our older sister likes to say.
And he is something special. I completely fell apart when I landed back in VA and eventually headed for bed late late the next night. I knew I wouldn’t wake up to baby Drake and put him in the Bjorn and head into the hills for a walk. I knew I wouldn’t be stopping over for a few hours to go let my sister play. I know he’ll be so much different when we see him in August.
Enough of that! I’m welling up all over again.
Got milk?

With summer upon us, families are getting warmed up to get their kids sunkissed cheeks in some family photos. I only wished I lived closer to the beach so I could do these fun, goofy, and real sessions on the beach too.
I hadn’t seen Theo in a couple of years. He blew me away. I have never met a more gregarious, interactive and fun boy. He was absolutely charming. And his sister Madison is no longer a tween, but an engaged, beautiful young woman. She and her Mom are so sweetly in touch, and respectful. I can only hope to have that with my girls. Kudos to this family:
And then Amanda and Sabrina! I can relate so well to this family–two girls, closer in age, and so into that girl world of dressing up (ten times over), dancing, giggling, and being silly. Amanda LOVES my camera and pulled a few poses I won’t ever be able to recreate. Sabrina, much more tentative about her time in the spotlight, sweetly showed me her moves. They are so, so precious. The line of the day from Amanda, “Aren’t you done? We are supposed to go to the Tavern for brunch.” Even the best models have to eat at some point.

Meghan and John brought in 10 years together with the sweetest portrait session. I don’t often get asked to do anniversary sessions like this, so I relished in the newness! All five of them in and around their home.
Despite the kitties being less than cooperative models at times, there are some really fun pics. I can’t wait for them to get the rest.
