    ssms baseball vs. uniondale

    The SSMS first baseball game of the year, so of course I took pictures. And ironic isn’t it. That this blog is somehow turning into a baseball blog. When you all know how I feel about baseball…

    They didn’t win but played a good game. Jack had two great plays at first and a nice hit. I’m sure you’ll recognize a few of the faces from the Royals and from football last year.

    timmy’s magazine debut

    Last summer I took a photo workshop with the absolutely amazing Zoe Berkovic. We became friends (she really likes my cursing and zombie obsession!) and when she put a casting call out for a size 7 boy for an editorial shoot on Facebook, I barely restrained myself from jumping thru the computer to post “I HAVE A SIZE 7 BOY!!!!!”. Zoe was shooting an editorial spread for the brand new Teresa & Thomas magazine up in Big Indian, NY (which is like a 2.5hr + drive, but I would’ve driven to Portugal for a Zoe shoot!) and Timmy was accepted as a model for the shoot. He made his big debut in the 1st edition of the magazine last week and of course, I am in lurve with the photos.

    This was the start of the whole modeling thing for Timmy. He’s really liking it and we’re having fun.

    This was one of his full page spreads:

    The picture on the left was another in the magazine. I love his pissed off face in the one on the right- that was taken after the whispering picture when Zoe asked the boys to kiss the girl on the cheek. The left was another full page in the mag.
    And the rest are all pictures that didn’t make it into the magazine, but are fantastic nonetheless. Zoe even took a few of me with my boy. Love!And a few shots of the magazine itself. Taking pictures of pictures are never as good as the real thing but wanted to show you the magazine.

    This was the “story” he was in.

    A big thank you to Zoe for the use of the photos, and to Stacie Fitzgerald for styling Timmy for the session.

    the brow family

    A high school friend and her family- and I think we picked the perfect location for their session with fun & vibrant colors. And people! I’ve never photographed a family who laughed as much as they did- it was so fun! The little guy is definitely the family clown and kept us all laughing the whole time.

    Love both of the next two so much, couldn’t chose between them.

    introducing…the storybook album

    Because you have a story to tell! (and that story is awfully garbled and difficult to hear while being told from your kitchen drawer where your disc is).

    So, let me ask you: where are your bsquared session photos? In a drawer? A few in frames, but most put away and you can’t quite remember where? And how about your session disc-hmmmm, where IS that thing?

    Lets face it- every picture from your session isn’t going to be framed and hung as a huge 20×30 wall print. That one with everyone making funny faces or your son picking his nose? Probably not something you want hanging over your mantle, but you just looooove that picture and it always makes you smile when you look at. So, why leave all those shots that aren’t quite wall worthy, (but still are a big part of your story) in a drawer or on a disc no one ever sees? That makes me kinda sad! Let’s get those nose picking, giggling, pouty, silly, jumping, cuddly, ridiculous pictures that are uniquely your family, out there for everyone to see your story!

    So happy to have a new addition to the bsquared family of products- the storybook album! The storybook falls right in-between the layflat album and the luxe album. Deliciously thick pages with a mix of full bleed images (pictures that go from side to side and top to bottom of the page) and clean collages with a number of images per page. A photo wrap around cover and back. Gutterless pages (so you don’t get a black line and a gap between the left and right pages with that line going right down the middle of someone’s head!) And most importantly, your choice of the number of pages between 10 (20 spreads) and 50 pages (100 spreads) all to tell your family’s story.

    You are welcome to use images from one or several bsquared sessions, all combined into one storybook. I’ll design the book for you and you’ll get to see a proof before it’s sent to print for any changes you’d like to make. Storybook albums come in 5×5″, 8×8, 10×10 and 12×12 sizes and prices start at $375. Not a bad deal for a lifetime of memories in your very own custom storybook!
