Last November I photographed the Goyal family when their precious daughter Diya was about to turn two years old.

I was so delighted to be invited back to photograph a summer photo session and even more delighted to hear that they were expecting their second baby!

Once again, Ena did a fabulous job coordinating her family’s outfits.

It also pleased me to capture another collection of photos for them in a different season.

The weather was cloudy for our session in the quaint – nautical village of Port Jefferson and the blue fishing boat made for an awesome backdrop.
