Good things to come?

Apparently we have good luck coming our way. Look at the beauty that what was pouring down over our studio tonight! What do you think?




Are we going to win the lottery?
Become the most successful studio in the world?
Long life and good heath? End of hard times for all?
World peace finally?
Is the king of pop smiling down upon us?

What good things do you think are heading our way? We'd love to know what all you good people out there think ; ) And remember...stay positive....good things will come your way : ) You might have the luck of the irish!

When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing. When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.

New Year's Baby : Meet Little Logan

On New Year's Day my little nephew Logan came into this world greeted by his parents Becky & Joe (Joe is my little brother) and his big sisters Kali, Mikayla and Miley. You might remember little Miley from some past sessions I did of her during her first year of life. Well Miley's a big sister now! And I have a beautiful new nephew!

Meet Little Logan....



This little guy was the first baby to be born in 2009in southwestern Connecticut! The Danbury News Times did a front page article with a photograph of my brother Joe holding his new son! This little guy had his 15 minutes of fame the day he was born!

I visited my brother and his family to fotograph their new addition in the comfort of their home. Fotographing families in their environment, i.e. a "lifestyle session," is my favorite way to do portraits.

Enjoy!

Be sure to check out Logan's SLIDESHOW HERE!


I looked at about a dozen stores on my ride to Becky and Joe's place for a "Happy New Year" cone hat, because I had a vision to fotograph Logan sleeping with it on his bum....after about an hour of searching for one, and I was about to give up, I finally came upon some. Go figure....New Year's decorations apparently sell out very soon after the New Years. I'm so happy I was finally able to find one though!



The beautiful family....



Big sister Mikayla with her little brother....



Big sister's Mikayla & Kali with Logan...







My brother Joe admiring his new son....



Daddy kisses.....



I love snuggle fotos.....





One of my favorite from the day....



I know the next three are somewhat similar, but I couldn't resist. I just love how Logan put his arm around his daddy's face! To cute for words...













Kali with her little brother.... (another favorite : )









Little Miley after getting into her pjs.



Mikayla with her baby brother...Don't these girls have the most beautiful, expressive eyes?







Mama Becky with her first son...more snuggling : )



Becky had a wonderful antique rocking chair that was passed down to her from her grandparents.....we couldn't resist.



What a doll!











The girls were doing their homework while their auntie was there, and apparently Mikayla loves her big sister so much that she sometimes gives her neck rubs while Kali is studying. I thought it was such a beautiful expression of love.



Of course there are other expressions of love that are quite funny too....



Little wonderful, tasty baby toes!





Another favorite....well all of the images in this post are my favorites, but I LOVE this one.....





Don't you wish you could snuggle up on your sofa like this...



Congratulations to my brother and his family on their new addition....Auntie Krystal is looking forward to doing Logan's 3 month pictures very soon!!!
