Italia's 12th Surprise Birthday Party

She never saw it coming.... Italia was completely surprised! It was nice seeing all her friends "in" on the surprise without telling her. Italia's mom, Melanie, went ALL OUT on the Sweet Shoppe/Hello Kitty theme. Candy this and Sugar that, she had everything created and arranged beautifully, I felt like I was in a real candy store. Everything was edible! And once the sugar set in, there was a photo booth to take wild and crazy silly poses! It was a lot of fun taking the detailed shots, as you will see below:

Morgan Darling ♥ Valentine's Day

Morgan was in the neighborhood and stopped by for some impromptu Valentine's Day portraits. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa joined in for some too!

Veronica Kole's Music Video for Can't No More

I was able to shoot all the behind the scenes footage (video and photo) at Veronica Kole's music video shoot, at iPlay America in Freehold, NJ, for her song Can't No More. It was a great experience working behind the scenes, and seeing all that goes into music video production! 

Gwendolyn meets Bromley

Bromley, the 90-lb golden retriever dog, meets little Gwendolyn for the first time. By the end, she got brave and walked past Bromley all by herself, and he didn't even sniff her... He's such a good boy!

Marianella, Lily, and Cecilia too - Christmas

Cecilia's first portraits, and I think she did a great job! We got some smiles and waves. Was easier than the 3 year old's portraits. But I think I captured my favorite Christmas portrait EVER at this session... take a look below:

Isabelle & Sammy - Christmas

Isabelle and Sammy are just too cute! The cousins joined their elders for a Christmas photo session to decorate their home for the season, and Papou's too! Unfortunately Sammy's dad couldn't make it.... next time he'll be there! :)
