The Princess and the Frog/Manhattan Child Photographer

This morning I did 2 year birthday pictures for this sweet little thang!  Her momma is in a playgroup that I started.  I met her through a different playgroup when I first moved to NY and she sent me the absolutely nicest email.  She has been so helpful to me.  I’m lucky to have met her and her beautiful little family!  I see a strong friendship about to start up.  😉  Her daughter was so easy!  All I had to do was bust out my handy dandy little frog and she was laughing and smiling.  Thank you guys for hanging out with me in this awful heat!!  Have a great trip to Phoenix.  NY will miss you while you are gone!  And happy birthday sweet little girl!

Poor thing, it was really hot, as you can see:

Haven’t Disappeared!

I know, I know, no posts in quite some time.  I haven’t quit the biz or ran off to some foreign country.  Still here enjoying every second of this sweet city!  Mya and I have been busy, busy.  I have clients booked but they don’t start until the 24th.  It is kind of nice taking it easy for once.  I can take naps when Mya naps instead of working the whole time.  It’s going to be hard to get back to work when I need to.  I’ve become accustomed to my 1:30 nap time.  😉  But I can’t wait to be busy again.  I do miss those days.  I have a toddler session coming up, my very first Baby Bloomer and then an engagement session in Hoboken that I’m all very excited about!  So I promise, cool photos to come very soon!

If you are thinking of booking a date, think no more and get on it because the special offer that I have now will be coming to an end very soon and dates are starting to fill in for the year.  I only do a small number of sessions per month, so if you want one of them, contact me ASAP!  The best time to get your holiday pictures done is in September or October, so don’t wait if that is something that you are interested in!  🙂

My First NY Session: Manhattan Family Photographer

I did my first New York session this morning.  I have to say I was a bit nervous.  I’m not even sure why!  This mom and her 2 children are in the playgroup that I started here.  I clicked with them immediately after meeting them.  I love when that happens!  I feel like I’ve known them for so much longer!  I had a great time with them this morning.  I did learn that doing sessions here in the city is much more different than in Austin.  There are lots of people everywhere and you’re always in their way.  lol  Oh well, I guess that is something that I will have to get used to.  Maybe I should start wearing a bright orange vest when doing sessions so that people don’t plow right over me.  😉  Thank you guys for hanging out with me this morning! I hope that the little guy gets to feeling better!

This was after we were all packed up and were getting ready to leave.  I love this one of dad and his little buddy just hangin out.  🙂

Central Park

This morning we took Mya to Central Park just to walk around.  We love it there.  It’s just so peaceful and beautiful!  Mya had so much fun, a little too much fun!  She was ready for her nap about an hour early while we were still there having a picnic.  Glad she was able to make it back to the apartment without too much of a meltdown! Please excuse her sweaty hair!  The girl is a sweat machine!   Tomorrow I have a session with a family that I’m very excited about!  So there will be a break from all of the Mya pictures!  😉
