I had the pleasure to meet this little smoosh face today in Brooklyn (check out his cheeks and fat rolls - too cute!).  AJ made his debut on November 28th, 2009 weighing in at 8lbs, 13oz.  Thanks so much to his Mom, Benita, for having me over, sharing some pregnancy & labor advice, and for the supply of diapers to get us started when our little man arrives!  Congratulations Benita & Al!

Those of you who know me, know that I am a sucker for bulldogs.  Anything with that many wrinkles and an underbite makes me melt.  Today I met the second cutest dog in all the world, Charlie the Bulldog.  I have to say second otherwise George will get jealous.  Charlie is 5 months old and lives with her Mom, Siobhan, and Dad, Steve, in Jersey City, NJ.  She's such a sweetie pie and I'm in love with her little teeth.  I hope her Mom and Dad take me up on the dog sitting offer sometime!

All the bits that make up this gorgeous dog...

I met Maura in New York City's Meatpacking District to photograph her headshots.  Maura is a Juliard trained Harpist, who is now in graduate school at Yale University.  She let me in on a secret - harps cost as much as a nice car.  I had no idea! 

This afternoon I got to hang with two of my favorite dogs, Fernando & Vincenzo.  Vincenzo is still a puppy with quite a lot of energy, so it was a challenge to get him to sit still.  Fernando is an old pro and knows how to sit and stay, until a squirrel catches his eye - then he's off and nothing can get him back!   Thanks to their Mom, Claudette, for bringing them out in the chilly fall weather!

I met up with Jessica & Steve at their Park Slope apartment last weekend to capture Jessica's pregnancy.  I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding last summer and was so happy to be a part of the next stage of their lives.  Prospect Park and the surrounding streets provided a lovely backdrop!  Jessica is due in a few weeks and I can't wait to meet their new addition!
