Egel's Nest 2011

Our friends the Egel's hosted a group of us at their house for an afternoon of snacking and playtime. Craig played pied piper and had them all running around all over the house, while I captured it all from eye level. Thankfully Bradley pulled out his guitar and we had quite the musical crew with Zak on guitar, Mak on keyboards and Stella on vocals. Band manager Sammy, Bradley's son, watched over the set list carefully. Jonah, only 9 months old, stayed busy looking adorable since we know that's hard work.

Valko Family

I ran a special with Plum District and was fortunate enough to meet fabulous families like the Valko family, who's 2-year old was dying to help me move my gear when we went from the outside to the inside. Having recently moved into their home they wanted to capture the fabulous red door, and since this was for the holiday card, I couldn't agree more. Thankfully it was a balmy late November morning and the rain held up for us so we could begin our shoot outside in the morning light. Mom was just glowing holding up her new baby girl and their boy reminded me of a young Haley Joel Osmont, he charmed the pants off of me and look how sweet he is with his baby sister.

Goldberg Trio Plus

With 8 month old triplet girls, and a 4 year old boy these parents have their hands full!! Good thing dad's youthful energy and the mom's warmth and exhuberance are limitelss, because they've got a lot on their plate. And seriously, doesn't she look amazing for having 8 month old triplets? I certainly was exhausted after this shoot, went straight home for a nap.

Enjoy!

Burke Kids At Play

After my whole ordeal over the summer, I decided to escape, with camera, for a day in the 'burbs with my good friend Christina and her three adorable monkeys. Now, most people thought I wouldn't want to see their children so close to my loss, and sometimes that was true. But these three were so much fun that I forgot all about my own heartache and soaked in their amazing energy.

Enjoy!!
