don’t fight the love
Is what Timmy told me the other night while cuddling in his bed. He’s so awesome, I can’t take it!
Another one is “we’re connected” and he puts one hand on my forehead and his other hand on his forehead.
How can you NOT love this kid?
It breaks my heart more than a little that he’ll be turning 5 in about a week and heading off to Kindergarten in September. NOT READY. He is, but I’m not.

the powe baby
Ok, so I’m in love.
And after looking at that picture, so are you. It’s okay, you can admit it. We’re all friends here.
This gorgeous baby is Patrick’s first grade teacher’s second little girl. Her first little girl has been heavily featured here on the blog over the 2 years she’s been around to photograph, and actually, even before that! She was one of my very first clients ever (maternity shoot, newborn shoot, announcement, christening, christmas, etc), and I’m so glad to have them back- especially for such a happy occasion.
This new little one is basically the polar opposite of her big sister. While Miss M was nothing but open eyes, looking around, not wanting to miss a single thing (I totally remember thinking that she was way older than 2 weeks when I shot her first session way back when), the new little Miss M was just interested in sleeping. And eating. And just generally not being disturbed from her slumber.
The ‘original baby’ (aka the dog) was such a good boy and is great with his human sisters. He’s a trooper.
And big sister. I love this kid. She’s a total pip. (how much do you love the chef’s outfit. She wears it everytime she helps her mommy in the kitchen).
The happiest little family.
And yes, it is completely ridiculous that mom looks this good. The shoot was done before the baby was even two weeks old!! Beautiful!
Oh, and C? The boys were around while I was editing and were oohhhing and aaaahhhing over the baby and M. They want to know if they can skip school when you come over to work on the announcement and hold the baby. I told them they’d have to take that up with the principal. Like maybe they could get credit since it was a school related baby.

in between & up and down
In between editing a few shoots that will be up on the blog soon. In the meantime, a picture of the big boys down in Miami. Still wishing for warm weather.
And a few current thoughts (nothing really goes with Wednesday like 10 for Tuesday or 6 for Saturday, so it’s the same idea, but no catchy title.)
1. Went to the Islanders game last night and although it was somewhat of a blowout (7-2 Capitals) it was still fun. I really, really love hockey. Especially yelling “hit him!” at the top of my lungs, hoping for a good fight.
2. Waiting very impatiently for any previews or trailers for Eclipse. I know it’s not til summer, but I’m excited to see it! And I’m figuring I’m going to have to read the whole series again before the movie comes out, making it 3x through. The Twilight obsession continues….
3. Denial ain’t just a river. This applies to many situations and I love this quote.
4. We are on the road to braces for Jack. Should be really soon.
5. Only 20 more days until Disney!
6. Loving my new imac. A lot.
7. Going to make a new blog header with some updated pictures before my 1 year anniversary here on this blog on 2/5. Gotta get to moving on that! Good ideas in my head need to be translated to real life.
8. Currently reading Under the Dome by Stephen King. All 1027 pages of it. And really enjoying it so far. It’s taking quite a while though (reading on the Kindle which is much easier to carry around that that huge chunker of a book).
9. I’m at 9700+ views on my blog. Would love to hit 10,000 by my 2/5 anniversary here. I like round numbers on anniversaries. Weird, I know. But tell your friends to visit too so I can make it.
Ok, that’s all I can think of for now. Hope everyone has a great day. Hoping to post a newborn shoot tomorrow, so come back and visit then too.

the double 50th anniversary party
What an amazing celebration! Two couples (the brides are sisters) celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries. Together. With allllll their families. Such a happy occasion and I was so excited to be able to capture it. I mean 50 years. 50. That is a long time, and they both looked so happy and in love.
The two brides.
Some of the grandkids. And kids. And other family members.
This shot is only of the 1st cousins. That is a LOT of people. And it took me climbing up on a chair to take it. But…we didn’t just stop at this shot, we actually got one with all of the first cousins PLUS their spouses. So just double this picture.
Time to get the party on!
Love the tears in the eyes (of most everyone there) during the toasts by the couples’ sons.
Wouldn’t be a party without a cake. (and a really beautiful one at that).
Congratulations to all of you. And thank you for letting me share in your day. You were a joy to photograph!
Hope you enjoy all the pictures.

i got nothin.
for today. Sorry. Been working on between 4-6 hours of sleep a night and it has totally caught up with me and kicked my ass. Hard. Working on editing about 5 different shoots so should have lots to show you soon. But for now, it’s only this one picture (of a sunny warm day, on a rainy cold day).
Do need to mention that the tree in the pictures reminds me of a LOST tree. Just missing the smoke monster. Cannot wait for that show to start again, so soon!
Had a shoot in NYC yesterday that totally rocked. That one coming soon too.
Happy freakin Monday. Blech.
