We spent Saturday celebrating my nephew, Dylan's, first birthday. It always amazes me how quickly time goes by. It seems like just yesterday I was holding Dylan in the hospital, on the day he was born. Then, photographing him at 3 months old. And now, celebrating his 1st birthday! Tear.

I spent a beautiful afternoon with Ruben and Jasmit. This lovely couple are expecting their first baby in just 4 weeks. They were glowing with excitement and anticipation for this next chapter in their lives - such a joy to witness! I am so excited to meet and photograph their baby boy once he arrives!

Daryl and I are overjoyed to announce the arrival of our second baby boy.  Henry Lawrence Bryant was born on Wednesday, April 24th at 9am weighing 7 lbs 3 oz and 20.5" long. He is as sweet as can be and we are adjusting well to being a family of four! Jack is equally as excited to have him as a part of our family.

My family and I took a ride to Branch Brook Park in Newark this weekend to check out the cherry blossoms which are finally in bloom!  It was a beautiful although chilly day, but we enjoyed watching Jack run around and have fun.

This past weekend my family and I participated in the National MS Society's Walk MS in Roxbury. As many of you know, my husband Daryl has been living with MS for the past ten years and in 2011 wrote a book, MS - Living Symptom Free, detailing his experience with the disease. So obviously this walk hits close to home and was very special for us to attend and be a part of. Daryl was even named the 2013 NJ Walk MS Ambassador by the National MS Society.

I had such a fun morning photographing these two adorable brothers. With their bright blonde hair and the bluest eyes I've ever seen, they were such a delight!  We did our session in their backyard and then headed over to their local community lake for some fun in the sand!

Jack is taking a Splash Class at our gym. Daryl takes him every Saturday morning and they have some male bonding time as we get Jack used to the pool and being in the water. He used to be very timid in the pool but is finally coming out of his shell (just in time for the warm weather!).

I was super excited and honored when my husband, Daryl, asked me to do head shots for his company, Hudson Horizons' new website. Since the team at HH is so much fun, we decided to take one traditional photo for each employee and one funny photo. We had a blast taking the photos and everyone was game to just be goofy and let loose. It really made my day to spend time with my husband and his employees. Here is a preview!

I had the pleasure of making a special trip to charming Fairfield, CT this weekend to photograph little baby Nolan. At 4 weeks old, his newborn session could not have gone more smoothly! He was quite the little angel. His parents, who I did maternity photos for back in December, looked so happy and enamored with their new addition. It is such a joy to photograph such a lovely family and witness the kind of happiness that only new life can bring. Congratulations, Brooks & John, on your sweet little boy!
