a divine "devine" workshop

This week I had the immense pleasure of attending a workshop of a photographer I have been admiring for a few years. Rachel Devine of Sesame Ellis came to the states for two small workshops and I quickly booked myself a ticket. As predicted I got a lot out of it and am ready to tackle this busy fall season! Thanks so much Rachel for an awesome workshop!

thinking trees | chatham, nj family photographer

The minute I met this family I could feel all their love, especially the children towards each other. They were so cute in their actions. I couldn't resist putting this last photo in because it makes me smile and laugh every time I look at it. It was almost the last shot of the afternoon and "M" had had enough of it all. It was a pleasure meeting you all ... we definitely lucked out with the weather!

sleeping mason | madison, nj family photographer

Presenting Baby Mason -- all 10 days old! His mom and I had a great morning hanging out and chatting while trying to get this little guy to curl up and go to sleep. He had other plans and wanted to stay up and hang with the girls. Finally at the third hour his little eyes couldn't take it anymore and he softly fell into a deep slumber. He was so nice to meet you Carman and your four boys. Congratulations again!

dumbo, brooklyn

The last weekend of summer, the last Sunday to do nothing before the onslaught of lessons, CCD, and homework takes over our weekends. So we hopped into the city with plans on heading to our favorite brunch spot. Instead we kept driving to DUMBO to look for heart shaped rocks, play by the water, and silently look at the most beautiful skyline there is. It was a great way to finish off summer.

before + after = teddy | bucks county, pa family photographer

Little Teddy is going to be loved "big time" by his two big sisters! While a summer storm loomed outside we stayed indoors and had great time visiting and photographing this little guy. I love before/after photos because this whole 'miracle of life thing' still amazes me. He is only 2 months old but acted like he has been modeling for years. Luckily he has two great big sisters to grow up with!
