It was the most perfect October ....fall day! The weather was cool and the light was golden and buttery!

When I saw Lily I was starry eyed!

Her little patent leather shoes..... ohhhhh!!!!



Her expression is so adorable!!!!!





Fun with leaves!



Love her here!

Family time!

THE RIGANO'S: FAMILY BEACH FUN!

Family portraits are so important!

I look back at when I was growing up and noticed my parents have lots of photos of me and my brother but not any of the family. So for the past 2 years I have been on my cousin Brenda's case about doing a family photo!

So finally I convinced her and off to the beach we went! Brenda and Joey have 4 girls! That's right 4 girls!

Meet: The Rigano Girls

First Gabbey : Gabriella

Gabbey is the oldest of the 4 being 5 years old!





Second Bri : Brianna
Bri is 4 and loves to smile!





Third Livi: Olivia

Olivia is 3 and full of life! Smiles I call her!






Fourth and last Sophi: Sophia

Sophi is 2 and the baby of the family. She loves to be independant!






The Rigano Kids : Gabbey, Bri, Livi and Sophi
I will say this was a challenage!
To have 4 girls all at different ages and different personalities
and get a memorable moment! What a job! But I enjoyed every minute if it!




Meet Joey and Brenda : Mom and Dad

I thought it was so important to get a photo of the 2 of them.
Joey mentioned they have not had a photo together since their
wedding almost 6 years ago.




Finally The Rigano's

LITTLE WILL : ALL SMILES

I don't know how many times I need to repeat myself in saying I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!

When I initially meet with a bride I have HIGH, .... HIGH
hopes that I will not only be their wedding day photographer but also their photographer for life!

In this case it is true.

Meet: Mark, Anne and little Will



I meet Mark and Anne in 2005. We hit it off initially and then their wedding came. After the wedding
we lost touch until Will came! Anne gave me a call and said "Hey we have a son Will now and would
LOVE you to photograph him!" Of course I was soooooo excited! I just could not wait to see Mark,
Anne and now meet Will!

Here is the new family!



Anne enjoying time with Will:

LOVE LOVE LOVE Will's smile!


Now time to meet Will:
