Landscapes...

Not one of my favorites to shoot, but I was driving over the Mid Hudson Bridge when I noticed the heavy clouds and large amount of fog down by the river. There was a large barge coming up the river and that looked pretty cool. I had a half hour to spare before picking up Brayden from preschool, so I raced down to the river and snapped some of these shots.

Waddle n Swaddle Anniversary Party...

There were a lot of familiar faces and new faces in the room as we celebrated the one year anniversary of Waddle n Swaddle's opening as well as the new store at Vassar Brothers Hospital. Thanks to all those who came!

Preparing for 2009

Just a reminder that I am booked for the remainder of 2008. I am currently in transition to 2009 rates. I will be offering some great new products including more print and album options. I normally am booking 1-2 months in advance, so please drop me an email if you wish for further information once my new session packets are available.

Expecting in 09? Please ask about my "Welcoming Me" collections. This has been one of my favorite collections to do. There is no better way to document the arrival of your new baby.

Newborns, best when shot during the first 2 weeks of life. Please call ASAP to book your session.

Seniors, I will be looking for new senior reps for the class of 2010. Be sure to keep an eye out on further information.

Weddings, I have a couple lined up for next year. I am so excited for them. One will be up in Massachusetts next fall as well as another down in Westchester.

Thank you for checking in and I will be back with some more last minute 08 info!

Brayden in the Paper...

It is always having your picture published and printed. Unfortuantely, I didn't get any of the credit :(

Lucky this was my father n law who submitted the photo, so I don't have to sue him for copyright infringement {wink wink} But my little man was in the paper and his picture is posted online, check out MassLive.com.

I Know, Neglecting the Blog....

I am in totally crunch time with holiday orders and sessions, so the blog has been put off for a couple of days. This past weekend I took some time off and went upstate for a friends wedding at Turning Stone Casino. It is always nice to see old friends, especially for such a happy occasion.

Congrats Fran and Beth!

Of coarse, today was a day of catching up. Grocery shopping, playdates, naps, meeting with my fabulous clients, emails and a trip to Vassar to check out the new Waddle n Swaddle sister store. Jenn is getting ready to celebrate not only the opening of her new store, but the one year anniversary of the Raymond Ave location. Someone has been busy ;)

Here is a peak at her new space.



For those attending the WnS celebration party, I will see you there!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy...

One year ago today, this little ball of sweetness was causing me some of the worst pain of my life :) He came in to this world a little earlier than expected, in fact daddy didn't believe me when I told him my water broke. On the way to the hospital, we even stopped to vote. The ladies at the voting booth will never forget us ;) Kieran has brought such joy to our lives and I can't believe how quickly this year has gone. Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Last Holiday Shoot...

Of the year! Ironically, this little sweetie was my last shoot of 07. We shot her pictures just weeks after Kieran was born. Back then, she could barely walk. This year, she could hardly stop running. Her and her fabulous red sparkly shoes ;)





Don't worry blog stalkers, this is not my last shot of the year. I have several more lined up before my vacation, so keep peaking back! Also, think ahead. I have already started taking bookings for the 09 Holiday Session.

One of My Favorite Families...

I have been photographing this family for a couple of years now. They are special to me since they were one of my "Original" clients. When we made this appointment, neither one of us thought about the time change. Man, it gets dark at 4pm these days, we had to work fast ;)

Here's to Hope and Change...

I have never been one to be big on political discussions nor into debate. Politics is such a sensitive subject as is religion. However, this election really turned things around for not only myself, but for so many other Americans. Can I say, I woke up this morning and I can't remember the last time I was this happy about our political future. Last night not only did we witness history by electing Barak Obama as our 44th President, but we re-jived this nation.

Tears came to my eyes as I watched my fellow American's dancing in the streets, rallying all over the country in excitement and anticipation of the CHANGE that is coming to this nation. When was the last time we saw our country come together like this? Please check out these photos at MSNBC to see not only how we reacted, but how the world did.

Dynamic Duo...

This was my second shoot with these two continuous balls of energy. They have a great brother/sister relationship, no matter how many finger bunnies they put behind one another's head ;)





Again, a special thanks to the Bykenhulle House for allowing us to come visit. What a beautiful place and beautiful grounds. We have stayed there several times in the past and absolutely love it. It is a hidden gem!

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

Don't forget to VOTE!



Think you have a good excuse not to vote? Well, last year I was in labor, on my way to the hospital and I stopped to vote for the local elections. I was having contractions in the voting booth. There are no excuses!

Here's to CHANGE!

And free coffee at Starbucks ;)

America's Next Top...

Can this little sweetie work the camera. She is just a little ball of energy, that I wish I had 1/4 of it. I said nothing, she worked her own model magic.

Lots going on in 24 hours...

Not only did we celebrate Halloween, or as Brayden put it, "Stompin' with the dinosaurs..." But we also celebrated Kieran's first birthday, although it is a couple days away.

First we headed to New Paltz to do some Trick or Treating and then we hit up the parade. As soon as I saw Sarah Palin, we left. We had great weather and T-Rex and Triceratops had a blast with Superman, Bubble bee and baby pumpkin.

$100K for that outfit!

The following day, we celebrated Kieran's birthday with friends and family. Again we had a wonderful day with great food and great cake (thank you Marcia!!!)

Cake, YUMMY!!!
