beth & robin’s awesome weekend- part 1

(kinda like bill & ted’s excellent adventure)

For those of you who follow the blog or me on Facebook, you know that this past weekend I went down to Miami with my college suitemate and BFF Robin for a little mini vacation/trip down memory lane.

Let me tell you, it was awesome! All fun & sun, drinking & eating, and reading & relaxing.

We got in late on Thursday night after a two hour delay on our flight. The wine we had with dinner in the airport had well since worn off by then, but I white knuckled my way thru the flight and we got down around 1am. Straight to sleep! Exciting, I know. But it did get better.

They are redoing all the balconies on my parents building. Friday morning the drilling started at 8:30 am and there is definitely no sleeping thru that. Sounds like 100 dentists drilling in your head. So we had a quick breakfast on the beach at the cafe, and off to University of Miami.

Went to Pearson (our dorm) and made it upstairs to our old floor and old rooms. (419 and 421)

Took a walk all around campus, admiring all the familiar locations and all the new super awesome extras they have. Now there is a money machine in each dorm, an amazing convenience store with like everything you could need. A food court with Wendy’s, Sbarros, Sushi, Chinese- like the mall, only on campus. Wow, and we thought we had it good.

The fountain (but now there are like 4 other huge ones too) and lunch at the Rat. They have a great menu now with little couches set up outside. Country club anyone?

Ok, how Thelma & Louise are these pictures??

Also somehow remembered how to get to our old apartment complex- Ludlam Point and saw our apartments (211 for me).

Then, our most favorite all you can eat sushi at Taisho for dinner. Got the worst news there ever– they are going out of business this coming weekend!! Forever. No more seafood handrolls!! But I did ask for the receipe and the owner gave it to me. So now I’ll have to see if we can recreate it cause it’s like the best thing. Ever. Thank god we made it there before they did close. Or else the Thelma & Louise thing may just have happened.

Part 2 coming tomorrow. If I don’t fall asleep in the blackhole again.

yes, again.

I’m back in Florida. Today. I know, I know.

In Hallandale/ Miami for the weekend with Robin for a girls weekend! Looking forward to a few days of doing nothing really at all; laying in the sun at the pool and beach, reading a ton, going out for all you can eat sushi at Taisho (especially seafood handrolls!), going down to South Beach for drinks, heading to University of Miami for an all-reminiscing tour from our college days, singing loud in the car, and a whole lot of fun and relaxing.

It’s okay, I know everyone hates me. But I did work ridiculously hard in 2009 and need a break (and a break just for me) before things get totally crazy again in April until the end of the year! (and I don’t mean the end of the school year, I mean the end of 2010!)

A big giant thank you to John for taking care of our boys all weekend so I can have some girly alone time and not worry (too much anyway, I’m still the mommy and I still worry) about the boys. Thanks JohnnyB- I love you and will miss you!  To my parents for letting us stay in their beautiful apartment and lending us the car so we don’t have to rent one (and yes, I will clean it all up before we leave). And for pitching in with babysitting while I’m away. And to my friends who volunteered to help out too. Love you all!

Taking the weekend off from blogging. And only have the point n shoot with me (see, really on vacation!) but will post some pictures from our adventure when I’m back on Monday.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! And because a post just isn’t a post without a picture, here’s two cool shots from Disney taken with the lensbaby. Delish!!

the lerh family

Had the opportunity to travel down to NJ this past weekend to do a session for the cutest little pink newborn baby. She was seriously just a beautiful baby with amazing skin and coloring. And best of all, she loved the hairdryer that I had her daddy blowing on her for all the nakey shots! Between the warm air and the white noise, that baby slept. A lot!

She’s only one week old. I know, mom looks ridiculously fantastic. Not fair.

See what I mean about beautiful and pink?

Daddy just adores his new little princess (hence the blanket) and I’m so glad I caught a little smile. Sweet!

Thanks for a great shoot and all the help during the shoot. It was totally my pleasure!! Hope you enjoy your pictures!

the heights couple

When I got the original email from B for this shoot, I was immediately so excited! A fabulous couple in Brooklyn Heights for a mini session = a happy me! While I’ve been shooting a ton of newborn sessions, and a few families and parties too, it’s always nice to break things up a little and get to use some of my ‘other’ kinds of ideas. Oh, and I had ideas!

They were just as fantastic and smokin as I had hoped. They jumped right into model mode without much prompting at all. And while it was ffffffreezing outside, they did their best Americas Next Top Model and pretended it wasn’t so cold just to get good shots. I loved them even more then!

When the picture on the right is your first for the whole shoot, you know it’s gonna be goooood.

Just walked around a few blocks with me yelling “oooh! can we stop here?” several hundred times in that small 5 block radius. I loved that they just trusted me and stopped where ever I wanted.

And I really need to mention that although it was Ms. B who contacted me for the shoot it was actually her boyfriend’s idea for the shoot! How cool is he?!

Thanks to you both for a totally awesome session! I couldn’t have had more fun with you!

the fran baby

This lovely little family was gifted with a bsquared shoot from mom’s elementary school (she’s a teacher in my town). It was so nice to meet them and see such very calm, collected first time parents who were really just thoroughly enjoying their new baby boy.

And when he’s this sweet, how could you not enjoy him?

He was such a great baby and slept so well for us, and then was nice and awake later. So I was able to get a little of everything during the shoot.

Sorry about all the laundry you guys had to do when we were done with the shoot, but I hope you think the pictures were worth it!
