Snow days! |Long Island's Bomb Blizzard 2018| Shannon Lee Photography

Winter days on Long Island are very unpredictable. Will it be cold this year or mild? Will we get early snow, or late snow, or no snow at all? One thing for sure, is that if it does snow, a lot of us hope for a snow day so we can stay in and cuddle up and enjoy the day. As a parent who works from home a lot with my photography business, these days are a joy because I get to sleep in and not get my boys up to take my toddler to preschool. I am sure, however, that these days do cause some unwanted anxiety when you parents still have to get up for work and figure out the unsupervised child/children situation. With the blizzard that hit the East Coast and many of us here in New York I am sure some of these scenes I captured were also happening in your homes too. I hope you all faired well and stayed warm.

When you are done here, make sure to travel around to the blogs of my fellow photographers to see there amazing work. Next up is Angee and her link is at the end of this blog post. 

Board games and snacks! Anyone else almost run out of snacks during this cold spell with the blizzard? I swear they will eat me out of this house.

Candy Land! Santa brought us this game and its a classic for sure. I love it because my little guy can play it with his big brother because he knows his colors. Baby bro is entertained with his leap pad that Santa brought him.

These Magna- Tiles are amazing. We all love playing with them. Great stem play toys for your kiddos. I highly recommend them and we will be buying more ourselves. Everyone wants to play with them.

Where there is a cold spell, there may also be a cold, which calls for home-made soup! I love that my little guy loves soup like his mommy and daddy.

Love this image of my husband reading his hiking book while our 4 year old is playing on his leap pad but looks bored. I feel you buddy, mommy wants to get out too.

How many of you have to run a humidifier to keep the dry air out of our littleness so they can breathe better? On this day we did some drawing and then my son decided it as fun to watch the paper go up in the humidifier air.

Then came the blizzard! The boys were fascinated by all the snow and wind. They were watching daddy snow blow the front yard and the neighbors.

Three Generation Family Photography Session Long Island, NY

As a family photographer on Long Island, I often have the pleasure of working with some amazing families. I get to know them and really connect with them. This session is near and dear to my heart. I met Jocelyn and her beautiful daughter when she was first born. We did a lifestyle newborn photography session at her home. I have also photographed her family for Christmas photos, and also her daughter's 1st birthday party.

Jocelyn was very excited when I advertised for Mommy and ME photography sessions. She said she just had to do them with her mother and her daughter. She said that in their family, traditions are very important. She mentioned how her mother and her had quite a few, and that she wanted to pass that on to her daughter.  I was elated when she contacted me to set up the family photo session. I love when my clients come back again and again.
