Miss America Wave - - - NJ Baby Photographer
I kind of wanted to bring Jenna home with me. :) She's 7 months old and she waves, says "mama" and "Bob" for dada, which works since her dad's name is Bob. She obviously gets so much love from her family and she lives in a house with a super cozy living room, a kitchen with an awesome floor, and her own little room for a little girl.
She is the kind of baby that is social and happy and smiling all the time - like a girl version of my Xander.
Isn't she cute?!

Birthday - - - NJ Baby Photographer
Little Ava and I shared a Birthday yesterday. She turned 6 months and I turned 31. Getting older feels good when you have so much to be happy about. Ava has her mom and her dad, a home, and a life full of love and comfort and snuggles and kisses - everything a 6 month old could want. I have good friends and family, a cozy little home I own, a fulfilling and enjoyable career, and this awesome business that I'm passionate about and allows me to make some extra money on the weekends. Most importantly, I have the world's best husband and our precious, perfect baby to give me all the love, comfort, snuggles and kisses a 31 year old could want. It's a wonderful life.
One of my 2010 goals is to blog at least once a week, so you're going to be seeing a lot more of me this year!

Jack, Lily & Sam - - - NJ Family Photographer
Jack is almost four and can count to ten (well, way past it actually) forward and backward, in English and Spanish. He told me his favorite colors, which I have already forgotten because there were so many, that he likes to hug his mom, and that Lily and Sam are twins. And while I was at his house today, he was helpful and loving with his parents, brother and sister, and as you can see, he was happy and fun and super cute!
Lily and Sam are two. As much as I try to avoid gender stereotyping, I just can't help but describe them this way: Lily is such a girl (quiet and gentle and a little bit shy) and Sam is such a boy (active and adventurous, with no fear). Not that boys can't be gentle and girls can't be adventurous, of course!
Both are smart and sweet and totally precious. Lily looks like a tiny version of her mom and Sam looks just like his dad. And Jack is the perfect combination of both!
My favorite from today...
As I'm writing , I'm realizing that I had a shoot with a four year old and two year old twins and there were no tantrums or fighting or crying other than a few tears from bumped heads during "Ring Around the Rosy." We read and played and tickled and laughed and they couldn't have been better. Mom and Dad - You must be doing something right to have such happy kids!

And the winner is...
...Ava!!!
I've had the pleasure of photographing this little beauty for the past three years. Not only is she adorable and photogenic and the perfect little subject, her parents are wonderful and super cute, and her grandparents are welcoming and fun and offer to make me breakfast! I can't wait for my next shoot with Ava, when she will be a BIG SISTER! Here are some pictures of Ava over the years...
Congratulations to Ava and her family! I can't wait to send your album to you!
We still have more winners!
Second place goes to Maxyne!
Maxyne had such a big lead for several days that when I checked the results just after the poll closed last night at 7:00, I was surprised to see that Ava had won by ONE vote! Maxyne was SO close! I don't think her mama will be too disappointed, though. Not only does she get the prize for second place; she is the winner of the free mini session!!! A HUGE thank you to all the people who left comments on my blog. They were really fun to ready.
Congratulations also to Spencer and Grandpa and Sweet Baby James for third and fourth place!
Thank you all for participating, getting excited and working those Facebook pages and e-mails. To my top four, boxes of surprise goodies will arrive in the mail for you in the next few weeks!

My Favorites: Second Annual Blog Contest
It's time for this year's blog contest! Because I slowed down a bit this year to spend time with my new favorite photography subject, I was able to fit all of my 2009 families into this contest! (Okay, maybe 18 entries is a bit much, but all of these pictures were just too memorable to me to be left out!)
Please vote for your favorite (only one vote per person). The owner of the picture to receive the most votes will win a beautiful 4x6 album with my 20 favorite images from your session (or sessions, if applicable). If you already have an album, your kids probably have a Grandma or an Aunt who would like one, too!)
The first and second (and maybe third and fourth) runners up with receive special surprises, too, so start spreading the word!
After you vote, leave a comment on my blog to let me know what you like about the picture you voted for. One lucky commenter will receive a free mini session (20 minute session with 10 images on CD, to take place in Maywood, NJ in January, 2010)!!!
