• i'm with the band

    the turn @ longhorns 7/31

    This was my very last shoot before ‘closing’ for the month of August. A perfect way to end the season with some great music from my favorite band!

    web160

    Needed some new pictures of them for some posters, cards and other advertising stuff that I’m working on for them.

    They are SO rock n roll!

    the beyr kids

    (ok, guess it’s probably not really a secret what the last name of this family actually is!).

    These gorgeous kids are John’s cousin’s kids. I am so happy my cousin-in-law follows my blog and even happier she asked me to take some pictures of her kids! It’s always fun to see them, and I got to meet one of mom’s sisters (there are about 50 sisters I think- I can’t keep them all straight) who I adored right away.

    They met me down at Pt. Lookout (thanks again, T) and we got a great evening with fantastic light. And two kids with incredible eyes.

    Looking forward to seeing them all again today for the annual family bbq/baseball game (which is known as the fishing trip although there is no longer fishing involved). Hope for no rain!

    beyrer baseball trip 09- part 3 (cleveland)

    By this point of the trip, this summed up exactly how I was feeling.

    web216

    All I could think when seeing the sign was..’you got that right, buddy’.

    Left Cincinnati for the very exciting drive to Clevland to see the Indians.

    web177

    Made it close time wise to get to the game (again). As we were walking from the hotel to the park (for about 3 blocks) I noticed a sushi restaurant across the street from the hotel. I debated for a while if sushi in Clevland would be a good idea or not, until my good friend Nate stepped in via facebook and decided for me that it was not in my best intrest to eat sushi (or anything else for that matter) in Cleveland. He phrased it slightly more harshly than that however.

    We made it to our seats (good seats again) just to be moved shortly thereafter. A sheet of glass in the restaurant above us was broken on the top and the whole sheet was all spiderwebbed with cracks. So instead of taking the chance that their fans would be sliced to ribbons by the glass should it happen to fall, we were moved over a section to slightly better seats.

    There were some interesting folks at the game. Like sideburns here for instance.

    web1116

    John referred to some of them as “Eminem’s white trash uncles that even he would be embarrassed of”. We witnessed a number of people being ejected from the game- oh, they were real class acts. A girl wearing clothes that she had no business wearing fighting with some tattooed scary unbathed guys behind her. She went first, and they got removed shortly thereafter. Well, at least it was something other than baseball for me to watch.

    The boys took some pictures too with the little camera.

    And they all had a great time. And I had a hershey bar for dinner back at the hotel. I figured that was safe.

    I’m certain that most of you will recognize “Mr. Mark” from the pictures that follow. For those of you that don’t, he’s the owner of Rockville Camera- where I live when I’m not home in front of the computer. Some people go to bars to relax and unwind- I go to the camera store.

    “Mrs. Mark” asked me to take some family pictures for them before their son went back to college. I was more than happy to oblige.

    The cutest dog ever. She was just about as interested in the photoshoot as Mr. Mark and his son. But she was so cute and they love her like crazy.

    Think this may have been the point where I told J that I think his parents love the dog more…

    Thanks for the fun, lern family. See you at the store.

    A family new to bsquared but not entirely new to me. I met the mom during this year at Timmy’s preschool but moreso thru the RVC Education Foundation. She was my contact for the Dancing with the Teachers Gala that I took pictures for this year.

    They are a great family and I was so glad I got to photograph them. They chose a beautiful (private) old estate on the North Shore. I really swore I was going to drive right off the road going thru, it’s a photographers dream. It’s a long story how we got to shoot there but I’m not allowed to share it publicly, so you’ll just have to view it thru the pictures. Sorry.

    Three handsome and great boys. Right up my alley!

    The littlest one was not into the photoshoot much at all. I tried to get more shots of just him, but he really really wasn’t in the mood.

    web510

    We were only a few shots in when I heard the thunder rumbling menacingly in the not so far distance. We scrambled to get in as many as we could before the rain came. And it was a ton of rain! I was soaked thru.

    web313

    We took some shots in the house and the greenhouse while we were waiting for it to clear up, and it finally did.

    A few more outside.

    web157

    Thanks reku family- I had a great time, even in the rain!!

    And a few shots for their friends who live on this estate. They are expecting their first baby in the fall. Dosen’t she look fantastic?? All glowy. Not to mention the amazingly delicious lemonade slushie with mint that she made for us. Oh my. Must get that receipe. I’m not much of a lemonade girl (just water, thanks) but it was so completely delicious and refreshing.
