Big Sister’s Third Birthday

This is the second time this cute little gal and I have gotten to celebrate her birthday with gorgeous photos. But this year was extra special and important, because it was the year she became a big sister to twin little brothers. As you can imagine, twins occupy quite a lot of mom’s time, so […]

Family Photos on Lido Beach

As a mother of one boy and one girl, I am always intrigued by the family dynamics of those with other combinations of kiddos. Especially the families with all boys…it is a bundle of energy and fun. I know that my boy is much more active and energetic than my girl, so I always imagine […]

Saying Goodbye to Beach Season, For Now

My favorite season is coming to a close, and we went out with a bang. The gorgeous day of mini sessions at The Ocean Club was just what we needed.  The families were so warm and friendly and it was such a successful day.  In addition to meeting so many lovely people, I got to spend […]

There is not a better occasion to celebrate with family than a bat mitzvah, and this family has been anticipating this day for many months. […]
