sydney + tucker: lifestyle session.

backyard adventure!

last week i drove up to new jersey for lifestyle sessions with two great families: both moms have babies on the way and i bounced back and forth shooting fun candid images of these happy neighbors and their beautiful families!

i started at sydney + tucker’s house: they have a great backyard with lots of gorgeous trees, an amazing swingset, and lots of room to run around! these two have so much energy and love to have fun, especially tucker! he is a boy on the move! they are both very excited about the new baby that is on the way and their mom, jen, is absolutely glowing! 

at the end of the day i was able to get jen alone for a few quick shots – she’s so beautiful and i know this baby is going be gorgeous!

tina + gerard: married!

one classy couple.

i had the most wonderful time at tina + gerard’s wedding! the entire day was perfect, from the morning appointment at PR at Partners where tina was styled, to the fun getting ready time at the Westin with family + the bridal party! tina was super calm and composed while gerard was super excited – they are such a perfect match! it was a gorgeous (almost fall!) day and we walked around the courthouse area getting fun photos before the evening ceremony…

as guests filed into the ceremony they were serenaded by classic music and the bridal party led the way down the aisle where gerard was anxiously anticipating his bride. tina came down the aisle with her father and i loved the expression on gerard’s face. they were all smiles after they tied the knot and were immediately embraced by their family + friends – hugging, congratulating, and lots of photo taking ensued! 

after the amazing cocktail reception tina + gerard entered the ballroom and danced together gracefully as husband and wife… i really enjoyed watching them all evening, they were so blissful and exuded such class as they floated around the room chatting with their guests, posing for photos with all their excited relatives, and kissing every time the clinking of the glasses encouraged them to do so…

tina + gerard: thank you. thank you for choosing me to document your day, thank you for trusting me with preserving your memories, and thank you for welcoming me into your lives and your family on your wedding day – i had an absolutely wonderful time.

now go enjoy aruba! bon voyage newlyweds!!

children’s hospital: circle of care.

celebrating the spirit of philanthropy.

last night i had the opportunity once again to work with children’s hospital. the CNMC circle of care event was held at the national zoo where guests were able to check out the children’s farm, visit the animal hospital, and observe amphibians! celebrity guest doctor bear was there, along with two fantastically entertaining clowns from the big apple circus clown care, and an incredibly talented face painter! it was a wonderful evening with lots of super cute families and adorable children having a great time. a huge thank you to all the extremely generous circle of care members who support children’s hospital!

enjoy!

liz + stew: married!

rock you like a hurricane.

hurricane hannah and all her fury couldn’t stop liz + stew from celebrating and having an absolutely fantastic wedding last weekend!

from the moment i met these two i knew the wedding was going to be a wild celebration: liz is from portugal and stew is from louisiana – their families + friends traveled from all over to celebrate in true cajun/portuguese fashion! aside from the stunning newlyweds, all the attention was on their absolutely adorable twin boys, zac + tyler! the little guys were so great all day, from strolling down the aisle to dancing + eating cake: they had the time of their life! 

family is so very important to liz + stew, and they are so lucky to have such an amazing one. they are incredible parents and so in love with each other, i just don’t think they could possibly be any happier. liz never stopped smiling and stew never stopped dancing, and i’m pretty sure they’ll spend the rest of their life celebrating, because in each other they have truly found happiness.

enjoy!
