A crazy fun session with a crazy fun family and their crazzzzy two year old who kept sitting in my lap. Good for the soul, not as much for the pictures. Thanksfully, Lovey the Bunny did a lot of help taking these pictures. I think she did a great job, don't you? Enjoy!

Sometimes I wonder how people find me. Most often, it's word of mouth. I love that, because I love my clients, and their friends are just as amazing as they are. But I do get a bunch of Google hits and I always worry about whether we'll click. So when this mama told me that she chose me because of my logo (she liked my work and all, but there has to be a tipping point, right?) I knew we'd get along. And then I saw her home--its clean lines and cool paint colors--and knew we could be friends. Plus, her kids are ADORABLE. Ridiculously adorable, right? I can't wait to visit again!

So the hardest thing about little kid sessions is getting toddlers to stay put. The hardest thing about this big-kid session? Getting them to stop goofing around. It was also the best thing. Evidence: a cocktail in Beth's hand, the family practicing their gang signs, and the general cracking up.

So it might be weird for me to attach a Yiddish phrase to an Indian family, but I couldn't think of a more perfect way to describe this pretty face. I mean, seriously... Look at those cheeks. Those eyes! Those hysterically crazy faces (which are straight out of my daughter's wheelhouse). And can we discuss her little brother's hair? It had a personality to match his big, generous smile, no? I was so honored that this family was willing to travel to the Hudson Valley for this shoot and brave the cold weather and still smile. I can't wait to photograph them on their home turf this summer!

Remember that super cool band photo I posted last year? Well I'm finally getting around to posting more from the fabulous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/tiki-daddy/94062158628">Tiki Daddy</a> shoot. It was styled by the extremely talented <a href="http://www.raquelvidal.com/">Raquel Vidal</a>, who has an orange bouncing ball on her website. Need I say more. Heather Canavan, who's worked for some serious glam magazines and even won an Emmy for her makeup lent us her mad skills (if you're thinking of hiring makeup for your wedding or headshots, <a href="http://www.babybreathbridalservices.com/">contact her</a>!!) and loads and loads of creative input and agony from the esteemed band members. Ahem, John Harms, I'm looking at you! Anyhow, to properly this story in photographs, first click here for your <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/tikidaddy/songs">sound track</a>!!

<br />
This session was awesome for 3 reasons:
<br />
<br />
1) When I told this new mom that her baby was just like a Gerber Baby, she shot back: "Cuter." Oh how I love hanging with sassy ladies, and with the way this baby girl can stare a lens down, I'm betting she got that trait.
<br />
<br />
2) The session was a gift my OBGYN bought her son and daughter-in-law on the occasion of her first grand baby. Now, anyone who knows me well--and many who don't--know that I love my doctor, who stayed with me, on her day off, during my entire second labor. She was part doctor, part midwife, part cheerleader. Plus loads of other positive nouns that I can't think of right now. I am forever in her debt for that experience and I'm so glad to be a part of this moment.
<br />
<br />
3) Get this: New dad/ob's son used to live down the street from me and some of my best friends from childhood babysat him. This fact is both super cool and super sad-making, cause that means I'm old. But I going with the super cool. Now check out the most ridiculously cute baby:

I'm working on my own New Year's Resolution: blog more. I fail every year, but what do they say? Try, try again? Anyhow. I'm feeling the cold, so today, I offer up this adorable Snow Angel. Snow Fairy? Snow Witch? Only her mom can say.

<br />
This post has been on my mind for a while now, and I've written it about a million times in my head, but when it comes down to it, I'm just not just sure what to say. This, my readers, my clients, my community, is my dear friend Stanzi. You've likely seen her on my blog before, cause I've loved photographing her and her growing family over the years. She's the first mama I met when I moved to Cold Spring. I still remember her strolling down Main Street with her husband Paul, all tattooed and cool, and their son Lucian riding his shoulders. They were friendly, welcoming, introduced me to their crowd, and gave me comfort that there was some Brooklyn cool in my new hometown. (I was new, and still a little snobby.) Stanzi has taught me much in the past six years: How to blend a mean green smoothie, how to stop judging myself, the correct consistency of poop, among other things. She's loved me, called me out on my bull, and given me--and hundreds of others--the tools to a healthier life. When she was diagnosed with cancer last October, I believe we all assumed she'd win the fight. I mean, we were scared and all, but how could this amazing, vital, raw-food chef not win that battle? But this summer--after leading our entire broader community in a cleanse and feeding us all with her magic juices and elixirs--she was told that the cancer had returned and there wasn't a cure for her. It's been a rough couple of months. But as Stanzi finds herself under the care of hospice, she also finds a community that has come together in force to love her, love her family, and do whatever the heck we can to help. I say this because if you, or someone you know, has the ability to contribute, I welcome you to. There is an all-day fundraiser at <a href="http://www.skybabyyoga.com/#!events-/c21mo">SkyBaby Yoga on September 14th</a>, with an auction that night at 7. There will be loads of donations, including a photo session from me. If you're not local, you can give online <a href="https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/k5v2/stanzi-s-vitality- ">here</a>. I love this woman. I love her family. I am not really able to communicate it any better than that, except maybe through the photos below. Take a long look.

So you all know I love taking pictures of the little ones. But wanna know a secret? I adore shoots like these. Unabashedly fun and outrageous. Luz celebrated the big 4-0 with this awesome photo session, which she displayed at her awesomely fun masquerade ball (she roped me into going and, man, does this lady know how to have fun!). So a BIG happy birthday to Luz, who doesn't look a year over 32.

<br />
Here's an admission: I always feel a little trepidation when I walk into a new client's home. I have no idea if we'll get along (though I end up good friends with so many of my clients), I have no idea if there will be enough light (even though I know that if you have windows or a door, there will be enough light) and I have no idea what the newborn, toddler, or quads (no, I've never photographed quads) will think of my camera. Or me. But when I walked into this Orange County family's home, I knew immediately that we were going to get along. Why? Because there were beautiful framed photos of their family everywhere. Everywhere! The entryway, the stairwell, the master bedroom, all hallways. And I'm slightly jealous of the gorgeous maternity shots that I, sadly, did not get to take. I am so pleased with the photographs from this session and can't wait to see them up on the walls!

Six years ago, when I first moved to Cold Spring, I was a writer and producer for magazines. My first glimpse of <a href="http://www.glynwood.org/">Glynwood</a>--a 225-acre farm and non-profit dedicate to fostering sustainable farming--was for a story. <a href="http://dianehatz.com/">Diane Hatz</a> and <a href="http://www.gracelinks.org/1117/welcome-to-sustainable-table">Sustainable Table</a> were touring the country and making a stop at Glynwood, where we'd photograph her. How very convenient, I thought. Instead of traveling hundreds of miles, like I did for most of my shoots, I hopped into my car, turned up Main Street, and voila, I was at work, five minutes later. And while I was there, the coolest thing happened.
<br />
<br />
I've told this story before, I know, but, well, this is my blog, so I can tell it again if I want to. While I was there, I met <a href="http://carolinekayephoto.blogspot.com/2010/05/farmers-wife.html">Carolyn and Dave Llwelleyn</a>, who were there for an interview. Dave would go on to take the job, become the head farmer for Glynwood's CSA, which I would then join (see those tomatoes below? That was from just one pickup last August!). Carolyn and I would become friends and cohorts in our love of orange and chocolate. Our daughters are growing up together (hers has gone from EJ to Elaine June to just Elaine and I haven't quite adjusted). And, as an aside, that change in tense in the previous sentence may be one of the reasons I switched over from writer to photographer. Just sayin'.
<br />
<br />
Anyhow, my point is this: My most recent job felt like a circle completed. Glynwood has a new president, the completely sweet and energetic Kathleen Frith, and her office hired me to take her headshots as well as some other staff members, including a bunch of new, exciting hires. Valerie Burchby, whose cheery face I first experienced at the veggie shed last year, is now Glynwood's program assistant and organized the shoot where I got to meet Jason Wood, the new culinary director and Alena Kaufman, their event coordinator who has hair I lust after. Plus, there's Isabel Lopatin, whose photo I included in this post because a) I love it b) her eyes are beautifully connective and c) she has a name that belongs in a novel. And along those full circle lines, get this: Farmer Dave, who've I <a href="http://carolinekayephoto.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-farm.html">tortured for years</a> during family portrait sessions, was (shockingly?) the one who actually recommended me for the gig.
<br />
<br />
I've spent years <a href="http://carolinekayephoto.blogspot.com/2012/05/mothers-day-minis-may-16-1-spot-left.html">photographing families</a> and <a href="http://carolinekayephoto.blogspot.com/2012/06/moms-and-daughters-hudson-valley-family.html">kids</a> (both human and goat variety) at Glynwood and while I am NO landscape photographer, I occasionally stumble upon some breathtaking scenes. And I figured I'd share some with you here. The boathouse in fog came from an early morning Llewellyn family session. The due drops and sunrise in the gardening shed were from a scouting mission. And is there anything more amazing than baby goats snuggling? (Maybe baby goats nursing?)

I have an admission to make: I don't practice yoga. I may be the only one in all of Cold Spring, nay, in the entire Hudson Valley that doesn't. I am not proud. But it did make this job slightly ironic. These three gorgeous beings, the forces behind Cold Spring's <a href="http://livingyogastudios.com/">Living Yoga</a>, were creating stunning poses on top of a roof overlooking that amazing view, and where was I? I was lying on the ground, contorting my body into unrealistic positions to capture all that abundant healthy beauty. And I will say, I was inspired. So much so that next time Courtney Tarpley or Liz Shulman offers once an all day intro to yoga session, I am so totally signing up. And I'm still planning on asking Richard Villella--who has spent two decades healing those with chronic pain--to help me too. Hear that Richard?

Oh, and PS, I know that technically, there is an order to the sun salutation. I don't know it (see above) and nor did I include every photo. Enjoy these out of order positions.

Who says birth announcements need to feature newborns? I adore this baby in basket photo of my nephew (who is now walking...that's how behind I am in blogging) in part because of the great eye contact. The original photo has lots of negative space for text and my sister's dark wood floors made for a great backdrop.

My final session of the year felt perfectly appropriate. When Father Shane, of Cold Spring's St. Mary's Church, emailed asking about a last minute session, I jumped at the chance. After all, this is the man who said yes to me holding a full day of mini sessions using the church's amazing grey stone walls as a backdrop. Yup, see that familiar backdrop above? That's actually right outside of Father Shane's front door. But the church grounds kind of feel like Cold Spring's own square: It's located at the corner of our two main streets and has the perfect sledding hill, a view of the mountains in the distance and a line of gnarly old trees. So glad I was able to capture this amazing family in pictures. Merry Christmas to all of you Christmases out there!!

<br />
When I was little, ColecoVision was a big deal. And yes, I'm aging myself here. My mom is Greek and somehow let out that in Greek, koleko means (her word) tushie. So my sister and I would run around the house screaming TUSHIE VISION over and over. Hysterical, right? We thought so. It's a fond memory, and one I thought about again when looking through this session to blog. I mean, how chic are these coleco-covers? This is a way-off topic way of introducing these two beautiful sisters, who I had the pleasure to photograph in Poughkeepsie last year. I couldn't get enough of their creamy skin and sparkly eyes. But the best part of the session: watching (and capturing!) the first steps of a toddler. I can't wait to watch these sisters grow up... and run around the house screaming TUSHIE!!<br />
