This was the first time I had met Norah and her family. They are in a play group with the other little guy you see all over the pages of my blog. Norah is also 6 months old and her mom and dad wanted some family shots for holiday cards, and they had not yet had any professional pictures done of Norah. So we were killing 2 birds with one stone, or so the saying goes…

They live on a beautiful tree lined street in Park Slope Brooklyn. The kind of house you saw in the opening credits of “The Cosby Show.”

After we dodged the rain drops we came inside for the real magic… Ok we put a very cute snowflake onesie on Norah and a hat. She didn’t really care for the hat.

Norah is as smiley and happy as they come! While she will probably harbor a deep hidden resentment towards me for the hat thing, I’m ok with it… She was too cute!

This project started way back in April of 2008, when Booker wasn’t even quite finished being cooked yet. Now look at him, 6 months later and he can sit up, crawl, he’s super baby! And he is such a smiley happy baby on top of it!

You would think Booker and I are old friends at this point, but maybe he is confused by the camera in front of my face?

Being very close to Halloween we decided to incorporate the them into his session. And well, his momma likes neekeid baby!

Just before we finished up, we did some clowning around…

And as a special treat, Grandma and Grandpa were visiting all the way from Germany!

Now we start planning the 9 month shoot, I am hoping for snow

Many of you have seen my Face Book updates about #ImagesForACure a grass roots movement started by Kristen Weaver. This simple little project is designed to bring awareness to a disease and to bring people together.

On October 11th, 2009 over 80 photographers in 31 states and 2 countries are participating in this event. Its very simple, contact me to setup a time to shoot, then go to Schedule a Session, they are taking care of the financial aspect of the day, its very cool. My session fee for the day is $125 for a 45 minute portrait session, after you donate forward the confirmation email to me, and away we go!  All products purchased from Images For A Cure sessions are 20% off.

Whether you want an engagement session….

Or a family portrait…

It is entirely up to you!

One special thing I am doing as part of this project is pet sessions. Because of shooting location restraints it will be limited to dogs this time. But I believe each and ever member of your family is worth of being photographed… so bring out, fido, max or daisy!

Lastly for you seniors out there, if you haven’t done your senior portrait this is an excellent opportunity! The fall deadlines for many schools are fast approaching!

As another photographer said the other day, “if i have the greatest job in the world, why do I spend 75% of my time hunched over a computer?” well its because the other 25% of the time is SO MUCH FUN! I don’t have kids, not that time for my family yet… but i got a glimpse of what its like to have a 2 year old the other day.

This little guy is so inquisitive, with that hint of mischief in his eye…
His Nana bought him this outfit, his dad remarked he’s ready for his first day of school!

His mom got this little tux on freecycle.org for a wedding this past summer, they ended up not needing it. So we decided that heck this was the perfect opportunity to use it, its not going to fit much longer…

This is one of my favorites, I feel like this expression sums up the entire shoot. This kid has a bright, bright future…

I am working on a year in the life project of our good friends new addition. It has been a joy to see this little guy grow. We started with the maternity then did a new born session and now we are at 3 months! Since I no longer live 5 mins away it just so happened that this session could take place while they were on vacation near us in New Hampshire.

I had the pleasure of visiting friends who are the proud parents of a new baby boy.  I had the plesaure of photographing them while baby was still just a bump, and now he’s a living, breathing, wiggling little man…
