Bridget & David - NYC

Bridget is one of my oldest and bestest friends from junior high. She is also one of the most talented people I know. Seriously. She's amazing. Ben and I went to New York a couple of weeks ago to watch her star in her Broadway debut in Mark Twain's Is He Dead? If you live anywhere in or near New York get your butt to this show. It's hilarious. Seriously. And I'm not just saying that because she's my friend :)

While we were in New York we had planned on me doing a little mini session of Bridget and her boyfriend David. What we didn't think about when scheduling the time for the shoot was that daylight savings time would take the otherwise beautiful afternoon/early evening light and transform it into total blackness. Which is what there was when we met up to shoot. Oops.

Well we made the best of a somewhat bad situation and took a couple of shots outdoors before going up to David's place for a few more. Here are a few of my favorites.

David has a LOT of pez dispensers... so of course we had to have a shot with them.

And his blue dog paintings, which I love!

Thanks Bridget & David for having me over... you two are the best. And I'm not kidding about the play... go and see it. Now :)

Baby Ella

Baby Ella is one of the sweetest and most gorgeous babies I've ever seen! Ok I admit, I love babies... I've never met one I didn't like :) and Ella was no exception. She has absolutely gorgeous bright blue eyes which were so full of wonder. I was feeling quite black-and-white-ish while editing this session so there are a lot of those... I think they make her look extra cute :)

Look at that bow. This is ridiculously adorable!

Her mom kept trying to get her to take a teddy bear to pose with but she was much more partial to the comb... yum.

Momma and daughter, so sweet!

And then it was time for a quick snack break...

before dessert of dad's glasses. Yum!

Look at those gorgeous blue eyes! Such a beautiful baby.

Thank you Brooke & Chris for inviting me into your home to photograph your beautiful daughter, Ella is such a sweetie!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't believe it's Thanksgiving already! The holidays have really snuck up on me this year. It has been such an amazing and crazy year and I have so much to be thankful for. I have to give thanks to my family and especially my wonderful husband. He has been my main supporter and number one fan in my photography endeavors and I am so grateful to him!

As for the holiday, I will be celebrating this year with Ben's family out of state so I will be out of the office until Monday. Have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday and just because I can't post an entry without at least one photo... here are Ben and I on our recent trip to France. Aren't we cute? :)
