What would a blog post be without recent photos! Goodness! I have so many to share from this summer and hopefully will be doing so in the next few weeks.

Well, Fall of 2010 has quickly come within sight. My most favorite time of year for photographing children and families at Stony Kill Farm.

This year is a special year at Stony Kill. As many of you may or may not know, Stony Kill faced closure by New York State this year but through diligence and hard work, it has been decided to keep the farm open for the public to enjoy.

The following is a press release announcing how I would like to help the Stony Kill Foundation maintain the beauty of the land and the programs it offers the public.

Press Release:

Beacon resident and photographer, Dawn Sela, would like to announce the donation and auction of a children’s photography session package to benefit the Stony Kill Foundation.

a minimum of 40-50 creatively retouched portraits in an online gallery to choose from

one 40 image leather album complete with 40 5×7 portraits in an upscale, silk lined keepsake box

What a better way to awaken the blog than with a sweet and fresh newborn? Baby Madeline….less than 10 days old and slept almost the entire session without a peep!

I’m here! Head over heels in deep but loving every minute of it! I have SO SO SO SO many beautiful families and children to share:) Let’s start with one from the late summer, and one from very recently and over the next few weeks, I’ll work my way through all of my fall sessions!

These are from time I spent in the Hamptons and Montauk the last week of summer. While I love the fall, summer is my favorite time of year and I wish I could just close my eyes and have one more pool day or day on the beach with my children and your children this year! Help me count down the days!
