    goodbye summer

    So today being the first full day of fall, I figured I should probably post my end of summer pictures before its like November.

    Just some shots of the boys and their friends at the beach club toward the end of the summer.

    It was so overcast, humid and almost misty at the beach that day. So you’ll see the pictures get a little fuzzier as the day goes on. However, they were all taken with my newly fixed 70-200 lens that I’m so happy is finally sharp!!I taught Timmy how to boogie board this summer. So glad I did- he loved it!!!Stupid rats with wings. But, the lens is nice and sharp!!
    Uncle Nelson torturing Jack and then falling into the hole that the boys dug earlier. Man, I miss the summer. A lot. Missing the lack of schedule, lazy days and beach & pool. A really lot.

    Well, happy fall. (and I still have one more summery personal session to post so there will be one last glimpse of summer here on the blog coming soon).

    the aria family

    A new to bsquared family who I was so happy to photograph on the grounds of the Cathedral in Garden City. Dressed/styled by Finishing touches by Christine (who I highly recommend for any of you who are ‘fashion challenged’ for sessions like I am!) they looked amazing and had personalities to match.

    I’ll leave the pictures to tell their fun family story.

    6 for Sunday

    Don’t know if I have enough to make it to 6, but I’ll give it a try.

    1. We had a hurricane. Timmy was all prepared. I mean, really. What else could you need besides a pair of comfy Star Wars pj’s, an industrial size vat of pretzels and a pair of flippers? Hurricane preparedness? He’s got it.

    2. And then after the hurricane (like a few days after) when it was just a little rainy, we lost power. So, we had hail, an earthquake, a hurricane and we lose power from a little rain. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

    3. Due to the stupid hurricane, the boys got totally ripped off out of their birthday party. I felt so bad for them. We were going to have a few friends to the country club for swimming and cake but Irene came and then the club was closed down for a few days. Perhaps the giant tree across the entire entrance to the pool was a problem. And their BFF was coming from Michigan and would have been at the party, but then they cancelled their trip due to the hurricane too. So no birthday party 🙁  John did take them, Timmy and 2 friends (Johnny and Liam) to the Mets game that night and then they slept over. Well, not exactly slept but they were over until 11am the next day.

    4. Had a great time yesterday at Heather and Andy’s wedding (my sister in law’s sister). It was so nice to be a guest instead of a photographer. It was a super fun place (a beer garden) and some people who will remain nameless were overserved. Didn’t even bring the camera, all pix from the iphone. And photobooth.

    5. I miss the beach and the summer. It got cold so fast and I’m not ready. The wrist warmers are not far from coming back out.

    6. I know I’ve mentioned it a few times, but REALLY this time- the fabulous new frames I’ll be offering will be on the blog this week. And a frame giveaway is coming too- so stay tuned!! Hope everyone has a great Sunday.
