Ok..sorry for the bad pun. But it was a perfect morning for a beach portrait session on LBI with this adorable 2 year old girl! I’m not a morning person, but obviously my model was… she was on the go and so fun to follow around. We had the beach all to ourselves, too (except for a few seagulls and joggers). Here are a few favorites including some precious moments with her beautiful mommy…

Everytime I do a newborn photo session, I am reminded of what an incredible time of life this is. Cherish these early years…they go by in a flash. My boys are 6 and 8 and their newborn days seem like a lifetime ago. But I love that in my job I get to relive the wonder of the newborn stage…
Only 6 days young for his photo session, this beautiful boy was so comfortable being held by his father that we decided to capture the moment. I love this first one… The beautiful knit with the heart shaped button is by Mamique and if anyone’s in the market for some gorgeous newborn wear, then go straight to their blog after this!
In the meantime, enjoy the sweetness of this little guy…

Back down to LBI this week for a really fun session with this gorgeous senior. Obviously the camera likes her…we did too! My husband was there to help with the bounce (a big white circle that bounces light at the subject’s face) and to help keep her laughing – like THAT was hard! 🙂 Well, not only is she beautiful, but very fun, down to earth and sweet! She and her family travelled all the way from Michigan to vacation at the beautiful Jersey shore. We loved meeting you guys…have a safe trip home!
And wishing you all the best for this coming senior year…

Truth is this little boy could not have been any more angelic. When he was awake, he barely fussed; once he fell asleep, he was OUT. This means more fun for me…I can go ahead and put him in a hat or hammock and he just keeps on sleeping comfortably. (Hey that’s what a hammock’s for, right?) Anyway, here he is in all his preciousness… the true angel.

I’m not gonna lie…this could’ve been my most challenging newborn to date. He did NOT want to go to sleep or stay asleep. Could’ve been because he was past the two week mark; could’ve been he was overtired; could’ve been he was nervous about his debut photo shoot. Whatever the reason…you’re totally forgiven, buddy! Good things come to those who wait…and I’d say our patience paid off. He is an absolute beauty… Thanks for hanging in there mom and dad!

My babies…growing up before my very eyes. Losing teeth, playing ball, becoming computer whizzes! Asking questions about the world around them…(some very difficult to answer!) Learning to share and to be patient. Seeing that life is not always fair, but trying to focus on what they have rather than what they don’t have. Hard lessons but important ones…
I know one day I’ll look back and pine for these early years. Life can get so busy, but I try to take the time everyday to appreciate their beauty and innocence and to show them how proud I am to be their mother. They are growing up so fast…
I love you boys more than I ever knew was possible. xoxo ~ Mom

…and cute as a button. This little guy was soooo endearing and adorable, I really wanted to take him home with me. He was on the go for sure, playing tag with mom, chasing geese and looking for foxes. Oh yeah, and feeding leaves to my dinosaur! (That dinosaur makes the rounds!) You may remember the newborn session with his baby sister…she was the beautiful girl in the pink pettiskirt. Well, apparently, good looks run in the family, as you’ll see…
I love his expression in this first one.

I am so happy and excited to be doing summer beach sessions at LBI again this year!! It’s one of my favorite places on earth!
On the day of this session, it was beautiful and sunny. Then all of a sudden, right before our scheduled time, the clouds came rolling in and next thing you know it was POURING. An hour later, sunshine! It just goes to show that it pays to roll with the weather… This family was so sweet and I could tell from talking to mom that LBI is as magical a place for her as it is for me. We both spent summers here as kids and now we’re creating special memories with our own children. When she asked me to capture some special beach moments of her family, I knew how much this session meant to her. I hope I’ve captured some of the magic of LBI for you guys..more to come!
