Summer Time and the Livin's Easy

Simply stated:  I love summer. If I could, I would pack all my family and friends in my suitcase and head to a warmer climate tomorrow. But, alas, I am a Jersey girl living through four seasons each year. So from June to August I immerse myself in sunshine, sand, boardwalks, farmers markets, amusement parks, ice cream, cold drinks, and of course good company!

These shots were taken from the Jersey Shore to upstate NY to the Delaware beaches, and more. Happy Summer to all, and here's to a beautiful fall!

So Happy Together

This blue-eyed beauty has been all smiles since the day she was born! Her parents are pretty happy too - hence, the title of this blog :). We had a blast in a beautiful park in Bergen County, NJ. Major thanks to this laid-back family for braving the 95-degree-super-humid day. You guys rock!

It goes without saying that I would be a terrible mom-photographer-blogger if I neglected to post photos of my birthday girl. I attempted to do a photo shoot with her but to parent and photograph a toddler simultaneously is not easy! She has obviously gotten used to my camera in her face for the past 24 months, and now belts out "say cheese guys!" and "everyone together now!". To say she is the most precious thing in the world and fills me with more love ever imaginable is nothing short of an understatement. 

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Jadeybug.

Special thanks to Olive Tree for adorable personalized tank!

Summer Lovin

I had such a blast photographing this sweet family on Manor Beach in Larchmont, NY. They picked this incredibly special spot and it was a dream! Vibrant colors and breathtaking scenery all around; not to mention two adorable little girls!! 

And, who among us does not love a pinwheel lollipop!!?!? (Scroll down :))
