I’m still full from turkey day and it’s December 1st. I can’t believe it. Only 3 more weeks before Christmas arrives. The countdown has begun.
Here are a few photos of CC in her gorgeous yard in Pound Ridge. She sure is cute and mom is such a pleasure to chat with. It was great to see you, in the burbs this time. Thank you.

It’s Thanksgiving. I LOVE this holiday. Nothing beats being with family and making a feast of some of my favorite food. This year we are headed to NJ to be with Brendan’s family. We’ll start cooking today and finish up tomorrow evening. After filling ourselves with turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberries and pies we’ll and head to the movies.
This year I’m thankful for so many things. I feel like sometimes we dont reflect and appreciate what we have until times get tough. I dont have to list all the things that are wrong with our world and economy right now but I will list what I’m thankful for in my life.
A new house.
A beautiful son and another baby on the way!
My best friend, the love of my life, my husband.
Wonderful supportive clients who have kept me very busy this season.
My health.
Wonderful friends from all walks of life.
And my entire family. Especially my brother Chris who has been sober for over a year now. He has accomplished more than we ever expected in this past year and is the definition of inspiring. When I think of him every inch of my body beams with pride. Along his journey Chris has found a wonderful girlfriend, Shaundra, who we love. I will leave you with the photos I took of the two of them in September when I was in LA for Chris’s one year. I will miss you both this Thanksgiving but cant wait be with you, Ben and Dad at Christmas.
Tell me what you’re thankful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

This lovely family lives here in Chappaqua. Mom is friends with a friend of mine so that’s how we connected. We tried to make the shoot happen before little Capri arrived but no such luck. I think it was worth the wait. She is beautiful. Thank you!! It was a pleasure meeting you all.
I’m SO looking forward to Thanksgiving and all the goodies that come along with it. I’ll post more tomorrow with our plans and what I’m thankful for this year. Until then, enjoy the photos.

The Lui family is one of my favorites. We had a great shoot in Westport before little Max arrived so I was looking forward to meeting him this time around in Tribeca. He is just as adorable as his older twin brothers Zac and Sam. 3 boys! Mom has her hands full but handles it beautifully. It was great to see you all. Thank you!
peace and love

Today I had my last shoot of the season and things seem to be under control for the holidays. It feels SO good to write that. Enter my big sigh of relief. I finally have a minute to get a manicure, be with Conner and not have work looming in the back of my mind, cook, READ! and spend some alone time with Brendan. Except for one Sunday in December, I dont have to work on a weekend for quite awhile. Brendan and I are going to the Hamptons solo this weekend. I cant wait to sleep in, go to brunch, see a movie and shop around a bit. In regards to my all caps “READ” above, I just finished Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and am now onto Testimony by Anita Shreve. A few of my high school friends and I started a book club and Testimony is our first book. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I’m already dreaming of turkey and stuffing.
I will leave you with a few photos of an adorable set of twins I recently photographed in Bedford. I just love their outfits. Peace and Love.
