back home

August 18, 2008

I’ve returned from Texas and am back to work. Somewhat. Our new nanny started today and they are still painting our house. I’m feeling a little distracted. Regardless, here are a few shots from another one of my beach shoots with the Banks. I photographed Mo when he was just about 8 months, not even walking. Clearly things have changed and now Auggie is following in his foot steps. Thanks for a great shoot. I hope to see you again soon!

old friends

August 12, 2008

So before we head off to Texas I’m trying to get a few jobs processed and posted. One of them being of Andress and her family. Andress and I were best friends through middle school, in Texas. We spent many nights toilet papering houses, prank calling, painting each other’s nails, watching movies and well, doing middle school girl things. When I moved to NY I was very sad to say good-bye and even more sad when we drifted apart. To my delight, about a year ago she emailed me. Last summer we met for sushi in Sag Harbor to catch up and this summer she booked a shoot. What a pleasure it was to meet her girls Hannah and Kellogg, and explore Shelter Island together. Steven (Andress’s husband) has been spending his summers there all of his life so he knew a thing or two. ; ) Thank you!

alot going on

August 12, 2008

My grandmother passed away and we are headed to Texas. Our house in being painted. We hired a new nanny. My brother is coming to visit. Then I’m headed to the Hamptons to shoot for the last week of August. If you dont hear from me much here, well, that’s why. ; ) Enjoy the rest of summer and I’ll be in touch infrequently over the next few weeks.

george’s 2nd

August 8, 2008

I love photographing George. He’s pretty funny and has a great little personality. He made me laugh quite a bit behind my camera while photographing his 2nd birthday. It was held at the Elite Gym in Tribeca and he loved it. It was a warm day but that didn’t slow him down. The party ended with cupcakes. George carried his around,  patiently and neatly licking the frosting off one lick at a time.

I love these two boys. I’ve photographed them a few times now and feel as tough we’ve become friends. This time we met in Westport. Obviously they are expecting a brother or sister very soon. Thanks Suzy. Wonderful to see you and the family. I look forward to our newborn shoot. Until then, feel good.

I think there are some similarities here…
