chris & seth & daniel & elizabeth

i've had the pleasuring of photographing the kellogg family since before i had a blog and there were only three of them... it was great catching up with them again. daniel and elizabeth have grown up so much in the last two years while chris and seth haven't aged a bit!

i love how playful elizabeth and daniel are with one another...

kids in a tree...how life should be...

it's fun to photograph in the same spot as the last shoot to see the change....

 cutie pies!

elizabeth... full of hugs for her family! such cuties!

i love the exchange of smiles between daniel and elizabeth in this pic....

it's such an honor to photograph a family as they grow... 

laura & steve (& gary)

if you have a dog (or any other animal) that you adore and want to incorporate into pictures, we are probably going to get along very well. i've had a few opportunities to work with my couple's dogs this year and i'm lovin' every minute of it...

i met up with laura and steve and their adorable dog, gary, in their hometown of hoboken one beautiful afternoon to take some pics...

we headed to a few spots including where they had their first and second dates...

it's hard to see them in this picture on the blog, but i don't care, i'm posting it anyway because i like the feel of the picture...

um, can't stand the gary cuteness here!

gary takin' it to cuteness overload...being a little camera shy...

love this...

i love how much steve can make laura laugh...

although steve wasn't exactly feeling like a natural in front of the camera, i think i've proven him wrong with these pics...

i had a great afternoon hanging out with laura and steve and gary (and i enjoyed my brief encounter with hank, the cat). i'm looking forward to a fun wedding with laura and steve next year.

victoria & sam

i met up with victoria and sam on a warm summer day to shoot their wedding at addison park near the shore...

i don't know why the monkey doesn't have a matching robe and mimosa...

group mirror pic time...

bridesmaids being efficient...

love this candid of victoria having her veil put on...

so pretty...

sam's dad grabbing a shot...

this little guy was feeling the heat...

victoria workin' the sultry look...

the bride cries...

... and then i get the sister- mom- sister crying trifecta...

there's always one guy in the crowd willing to work the camera...

mmmm....a beautifully color-coordinated candy bar...

'now you're gonna make me cry' hand gesture...

thanks to victoria and sam for having me capture their day. best of luck to them as they start their new life on the west coast. and a big thanks to brian for helping me out...
