We would just like to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We hope you all had a wonderful 2008 and have a happy and healthy new year!
Mallory and Mike had asked us to come take pictures of their little family for their Christmas cards. Miley and Jake, as most cats are, were definitely a challenge when it came to their cooperation. After many shots, we finally came across the perfect picture. Mallory and Mike also recently got engaged so it was a great time to showcase the new ring! Our session was filled with laughter and enjoyment. We really had a great time!
As you can probably tell, Troy is one of our favorite babies to photograph. Troy was born in April and spent the first two months of his life in the hospital. We are so excited to see him progressing well! These are his 7 month pictures. This wont be the last time you see our favorite baby Troy!!
Our awesome friends Lisa and Ande called us up and wanted to do a session with us for Christmas cards. The shoot took place in Red Bank, NJ and the weather could not have been any better. We always have a great time when we get together, and this time is no different. Here are some of our favorites from the day.
Generally when doing an engagement session, I ask the couple for a small write-up of how they first met so I can incorporate it into the blog. I was surprised when I received this:
“Dinora and I have been together for a little over four years now. I still remember the day that I saw her. While in college, I was working the night shift and one morning my friend and I decided to get some breakfast after work. Dinora was working at the restaurant when she laughed as she overheard our jokes. I saw her smile and several extra pounds later…we were boyfriend and girlfriend.
The topic of marriage has been a discussion for some time. Once I got the ring, the big question remained of how I was going to ask her. People have given their suggestions, on what I could or should not do. Alex always joked about hiding when I popped the question so he can get pictures of it. The thought then came to me to do it as an actual photo session. Dinora has always wanted to take portraits of us, but always in an outdoor setting. As part of a gift for our four year anniversary, I let her know that we were going to get professional pictures taken and the setting of her choosing.
We found a beautiful garden in Toms River with a pond directly behind it. Alex and Heather directed everything smoothly and did a phenomenal job as they assisted and setting up my proposal. Dinora and I feared the potential rain that was predicted for the entire weekend, but were very pleased with the results.”
Juan and I have been friends since the 7th grade and he was one of my groomsmen at our wedding. We are honored to be part of their special moment.
