Zak, coooool! Love the ice cream & cotton candy images! Sylvia, it's great to see you in front of the camera. You and your family are gorgeous!

So cuuuuuuuuuuuuute. I just absolutely love them.

awww!!!!! your fav is my FAV!!!!!!!!! that BEGS to be a giant canvas! also love all the water ones, family sessions with you are so fun!!!!!

yay for the borgo family!!! they look SO adorable! love em all ,but my fav is the big piece of cotton candy bahahaha! that's awesome!

Well, aren't they the cutest family ever? Looks like such a fun session, too... I really like all the "sugar" shots. Beautiful family!!!

A- Dorable! At least that cotton candy wasn't chewed yet... That's usually what I get! LOL

The "loving moments" one.... yes! That is every mom and dad with kids to a tee! They just know!
I laughed out loud at the cotton candy one. :)
I love all of them... namely the ice cream and cotton candy ones. :)

Zak! I just AODRE these. You really captured me and my boys perfectly. We had an AWESOME time with you. D. and J. keep on asking when we are going to go eat ice-cream with Mr. Zak again. Hmm, . . what should I tell them? :)

LOL at the cotton candy! That's totally what Abbie does! I love the one right before it, too!

Sylvia ... your family is beautiful and Zak captured them beautifully! I know Sylvia will treasure this session with lots of LOVE!!! So fun to get a family shot like these!!!

Oh.... these are just fantastic Zak. I laughed SO hard at your portion of cotton candy. Did you eat it ALL?
A photographer friend and I keep talking about swapping family sessions, but you know.... we never get around to it. After seeing these, THAT'S IT. Not only are we actually going to do it, I'm going to suggest we do it once a year. Sylvia, your family is adorable! I just LOVE these images!!!!

How have I never seen your blog, twitter-friend? Lovely work - My fav is the last one in the set of them eating ice cream. :)

these are great

super fun looking shoot!!

So fun! If I'm ever near the Cali beach, I'm calling you!

Oh, he's gonna be a heartbreaker!

That's my BOY! Awww, Zak, I'm melting over here - I love this shot! I can't wait to see more!

That's my BOY! Awww, Zak, I'm melting over here - I love this shot! I can't wait to see more!

This just made me smile. =)

What a great father/son shot!

Complete cuteness! :)

These are beautiful!!!!!!!!! You have a gorgeous family, Sylvia!

Great capture!! What a beautiful boy!! Amazing job Zak!

i vote white! gooooooooo white light'nin!!!!!!!!!! the red is a little more... mr. koolaid! ;) you're gonna be awesome!!

White for sure! Less...sweat stains? :)

You look happier in red....I think you want to wear red!

Definitely white!! Get your run on Zak!

White... now that I see the outfits side by side... do boys wear running "outfits"?

I think I like the white better. It has a nice slimming effect. LOL

I have to say red. Red is the magic number. Oh, wait, . . . that is 3 is the magic number. I'm sticking with red!

I say RED!!

Red, it will be just a tad easier for your family to pick you out of the crowd of T-shirts. I wore a bright pink in my half marathon, and it stood out enough that they were able to see me coming. And you want them yelling for you at the end, motivation is key!

Ooooh....such a tough choice. Red is easier to spot ...but you have such an awesome game face when you're wearing the white. LOL I think I am voting white!!! You're totally gonna rock it Zak!!!

White will be cooler in the heat! Go for white! :)

BTW... Is that a ho on your fence???

a poem for zak: as i read, i was like, ohhhhh good point jamie. and then i read some more and thought, too true jaime! i don't know!!!!! ask the ho?

in my poem, the first "jaime" should read "amy". thank you.

RED!

Red!

zak! saw that you totally kicked butt out here! way to rock that 5k!!!

that's such an amazing accomplishment!

Darn! I didn't see this post until now. I was on 6th avenue taking pictures of some of my friends in the race. Wish I knew you were running I would have shot some of you also! [with my new 70-200!- love it!] How did the race go for you?

Oooh white for sure! :)

I'm obsessed with your legs and the fact that your feet are in exactly the same position, shoe laces and all, except for a blade of grass on the left. How do you feel about some random NJ girl studying your legs? I think the race is over, judging by the comments, but I would have voted white cuz I agree with the "got your game face on" comment.

Wait a minute. Your hands are in exactly the same position too. HOW DID YOU DO THAT?????

Ella says, "They might be twins." lol

You pulled that red color out incredibly! I love the bright and vivid photos! What a treasure for that family!

yep, these are awesome! lovin the sandy feets and hands!

Hi Zak; you did a great job with these. I am impressed with your talent behind the lens; props to you!
