jivon + anthony = stella

May 16 2011

If you’ve been coming two this blog for a while you might remember Jivon & Anthony. Just two years ago they made their first of many debuts on the blog but we’ll get to that in a minute. Since then two years have gone by, a wedding happened and late last September Stella was born. Just day’s after she was born I was invited back to photograph yet another chapter for them. Then October was a busy month over here and before I knew it the Stella blog got shelved. No biggie though, I knew it was only a matter of time that Jivon and Anthony would have me back so I thought I’d save it for now. When you have clients/friends as loyal as these two sometimes you forget to thank them for being so awesome! I can’t tell you guys how grateful I am to be continuously asked back to document your lives. Let’s grow old together ok?

Peace,
JP

Ok.. lets recap. Back in May of 2009 I shot their engagement session at Saratoga Race Track. We then started a trend… ;)

In September of 2009 we shot their wedding.

In July of 2010 I photographed Jivon’s bump

First comes love, then comes marriage, then came Stella on September 25th 2010… I shot this 11 days later.

Jivon’s facebook friends might remember this one.

Ok, now we’re up to date. This was just last Wednesday. 7 months old..

Isn’t she the cutest little baby?

I just love this one with her brother Moe..

Who’s she look more like? Leave your thoughts in the comment box..

Ok, Jivon and Anthony not only have an awesome house their back yard is off the chain. Guys, whens the bbq? For real.

How can you not smile?

Too cute..

I love the purple against the vivid green grass.

When I saw how nice the lawn was I demanded we use it! Love this one. Thanks again guys!!

Our favorite little girl who might have more blogs than anyone else (including mona) is back! I just love photographing Meara. She is so awesome. If you’re new and have not seen the past Meara images just use my little search function and type in Meara. Or better yet I’ll do it for you.. click me! Anyway here are Meara’s spring photos!!

Peace,
JP

She always shows up looking all fancy!

We’re like old friends by now. She knows just how to turn it on for the camera.

I like this one a lot..

Doesn’t she have the best big ol brown eyes ever?

I absolutely love this b&w

Oh hey there Miss Sassy-pants!

Too cute..

In the beginning of the shoot Meara told me she was having a baby. I was like oh ok while thinking kids say funny stuff. The Jen (mom) saved this shirt till the end. At that point I put two and two together. Meara is going to be a big sister! Congrats to Jen, Patrick & Meara! I think it’s safe to say to be continued…

madeline + dave = nicco

Posted in: Kids / Family

April 6 2011

It’s that time again on the blog. The time when I get to showcase an adorable baby. I met Madeline and Dave back in 2009 at Tracy & Matt’s wedding where Dave took more picture in the photo booth than anyone else and then again at Jivon & Anthony’s wedding where Madeline was the token dancing bridesmaid. Needless to say I created a little blog stalker out of this married woman. I think somehow we could play the 6 degrees of separation with people on this blog and  get back to Madeline. So the time came and her belly began to grow. This is when I started receiving phone calls that apparently I was on Madeline’s baby shower registry. True story folks. Her awesome friends and family got together and purchased some “E dollars” to gift Madeline and Dave a first year of life shoot with little Nicco. I thank you all for making this possible for them! Now I hope you all enjoy Nicco’s precious face because it’s not the last time you’ll see him on the blog.

Happy blog stalking City of Troy! Peace!
JP

A week ago little owl was born.
