Mahwah Children's Photographer: I'M IN LOVE WITH CAROLINE AND KATIE!

I have a habit of falling in love with my clients. All of them. But Caroline and Katie are a little different. A little special. First of all, they are mini models in the making that I have watched grow from year to year. But it's more than that. I've watched as this family, through strength, love, and unlimited generosity, have been rewarded with a family unit that most would marvel at. I've watched as two sisters have formed an unbreakable bond. I'm always excited to see what will be next. Caroline continues to evolve into a lovely swan who knows how to work the camera and Katie has become strong and independent... and can work it equally as well.

Yes, I am in love with Caroline and Katie. And I'm in love with watching them grow into fabulous young ladies. Thank you, Kathy and Kevin, for bestowing me with that precious opportunity year after year.

Ridgewood Family Photographer: Melissa, Chris, Sean & Kate

It had been a year since I had seen Melissa, Chris, and Sean... and so much had changed since then! A new, beautiful house and a new, beautiful baby had been added to their family in the past year. I had so much fun catching up with them, exploring their gorgeous home, hanging out with Sean, and meeting Kate for the first time. This is a family that captured my heart three years ago, and every year around Thanksgiving, I am reminded exactly why. Thanks for having me, again! It's always a pure pleasure. 

It's so hard to pick, but here are some of my favorites of the day...

Hudson Valley Event Photographer: VILLA BORGHESE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

I've never been to The Villa Borghese before and as I headed over there to shoot the celebration of Jasmine and Mavi's first birthday, I was obsessing about the fact that it was chilly, had been raining non-stop for days, and wouldn't be conducive for outdoor shots. But, when I entered the magnificent lobby of The Villa Borghese, I stepped into the most perfect indoor shoot location I've ever seen! I fell in love with the site instantly.

And when the guests began to arrive, oh my goodness! This couldn't possibly get any better. The sun broke through the clouds and everyone was beautiful, colorful, and sparkly! The celebration was limited to family members due to the sheer volume of this huuuuuuuugggggggge family and the women were warmhearted... the children, adorable... and the men, rockin'! They made this an event that I was excited to be part of. Here are some of my favorites of the day!

Happy first birthday, Jasmine and Mavi. Your are both so sweet and with family like this, your futures are the brightest!

Thank you all for sharing this slice of your lives with me.

Happily,

Terri
