More sandy fun!!

I met up with this family a couple of weeks ago down in Manhattan to get some shots their four gorgeous kiddos.  They were such a blast to work with – the love they all had for each other was so obvious and made it easy to get some great candid shots.  I had a hard time picking just a few to share – here are some of my faves . . .

 and some graces – I figure I’ll never catch up to where I’m supposed to be so I’ll just start posting one set a day again until I hit 365 days 🙂

1.  Finally got to have coffee with my bestie and catch up after wayyy too long 🙂

2.  A relatively easy Monday at work – a rare occurance lately

3.  7 hours of sleep last night – another very rare occurance lately – hard to get comfortable when you have a basketball attached to the front of you!

4.  Super sweet flexible clients

5.  Pricing photobooths for the wedding – so much fun!!

Beachy fun!!

Sorry for the lack of blogging the last few days – I had a touch of the flu and we have been busy planning our wedding and getting ready for baby on top of both of us working two jobs so it’s been a little nuts to say the least.  I wanted to share a few pics from a recent beach session with an adorable family – I had a blast chasing after their two little guys 🙂

 Waaaay behind on the graces so I’ll do a few days 🙂

Engaged!!!!!

This morning we had our 30 week 4D ultrasound – it was awesome seeing what our little guy looks like although he is still under 3 lbs so he has some filling out to do in the next ten weeks.  Right after the tech finished up I was cleaning the goop off my belly and when I looked down Joe was down on one knee asking me to marry him!!  I am so excited that I get to spend the rest of my life with such a wonderful man.  I am so in love with my little family and feel like the luckiest girl in the world – I couldn’t have found a better father for my son and I will soon be marrying my best friend – life doesn’t get much better!!

Brotherly love :)

These two adorable brothers are regulars and some of my favorite clients – I just saw them again this past Saturday 🙂  Here are a few of my faves from their spring mini . . .

 and some graces . . .
