    i’ll cross that bridge when…

    A few bridge pictures from back in the summer. Yeah, I’m THAT behind. Been taking some online classes recently on editing & post processing and having a great time playing around with my newfound knowledge.

    And an entirely different kind of bridge…

    And just one last thing…trying to get some more participation going on here on the bsquared blog from you, my trusty readers. How would you feel about a little incentive? When I post a family’s session, they can receive a free bsquared gift if they receive 10 or more comments on the blog post. So all you’ll have to do to help them out is post a little comment on their session. (not going to tell you what that gift is though- you’ll have to wait your turn for your bsquared session and get your 10 comments to find out what it is!) Thoughts?? Comment below. Who knows, maybe someone will win a little something for commenting… (yeah, I’m all about the bribes.)

    timmy’s 8th birthday vegetable

    For those of you who don’t know- there’s pretty much always a weeklong birthday festival in this house for the kids birthdays. And when Timmy was really little it sounded like “vegetable” instead of “festival”. So it stuck.

    Timmy’s party this year was a small one- just him and 6 friends (along with us, his big brothers and the dads of most of the kids attending) to the Islanders game. Took most of the shots with the little camera- just didn’t want to lug the big guns.

    Someone’s a little excited, no?The gang of lunatics.Its also a tradition to have a candle in every meal of your birthday. Including the ice cream he had for breakfast. Yup, breakfast.

    Just can’t believe my little guy is now 8. Sigh.

    introducing…baby kieran

    A friend and bsquared client and her lovely family (who I have no doubt you’ll recognize from years of photographs here on the blog) welcomed their 3rd child recently and I got back from vacation just in time to photograph him. He’s welcomed with so much love and joy, it was a pleasure to see.

    His wife was telling him to make one kind of face, I was asking him to make a different kind of face. So the picture on the left is what happened. Love these two.

    And my favorites.

    Can’t wait to watch you grow, Kieran! Looking forward to our next session!!

    visiting wrigley

    A few weeks after our last visit (can’t even believe how big she’s getting so fast), we got to visit “our dog we no longer own”. This was Timmy’s first visit with Wrigley since we had to give her away and even though he kept his hands in his pockets the whole time (so he wouldn’t pet her- so he wouldn’t get all allergic) he still had a great time visiting her. There was lots of running around the backyard with both dogs (Wrigley and her big/little brother Wilson) and the boys totally wore her out. She’s now about 4.5 months old and is as gorgeous as I thought she would be. Thick boned (she’s going to be a big girl who will probably still think she’s a lap dog when she’s 90lbs!), gorgeous white fur and deep black pigment. And that little pink tongue and “golden smile”- she’s drop dead gorgeous.

    The below pic was taken on our 2nd day with Wrigley- quite a difference, right?

    This is big/little brother Wilson. So cute!They totally fight like brother and sister. Lots of growling and barking (mostly from Wilson) but then they continue to goad each other and play more. Worn out.

    Thanks again Mrs. P and family for the visit

    out east

    Finally back from out great Disney vacation (pictures from there coming eventually, but if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then you’ve most likely seen most of them already). I downloaded a blog app and drop boxed my photos so I could blog while we were away from the iPad, but you can see by the very quiet blog how well that worked.

    So I have lots to catch up on, including pictures from the summer and fall. Sad but true. Here’s a bunch from our annual trip to the “east house” over Columbus Day weekend.

    He picked some flowers just for me.Another citizen of Pakiscandinavia. She had an official greeting role at the pumpkin patch. Never knew this was what brussels sprouts looked like as they grew. Yum!!And we even got in a quick visit with our friends who have a house out that way. My very own children of the corn.
