    6 for Saturday

    1. Been a crazy week with no immediate relief in sight. Once this week is over, I will have done 7 shoots including travelling to Ossining, Islip, Scarsdale and East Hampton. Well, at least they are all in NY.

    2. Jack broke his palate expander this week. Yes, already. He’s been sticking his tongue between the roof of his mouth and the expander and pushing down. So hard that he not only dislodged the whole thing but actually broke the expander from one of it’s metal bands. The orthodonist said that he had NEVER seen that happen before. Well, I guess the kid has a strong tongue cause all he does is exercise it. By talking. All the time.

    3. The boys all went to the Mets game Thursday night and Timmy fell asleep in the car on the way home around 10:30pm. I figured I’d just let him sleep and put him to bed in his shirt and sweatpants that he wore to the game. Well, after waking up Friday morning and saying (with a big smile) “Hey! I sleeped in my clothes last night!” he then asked if he could wear the same shirt all day Friday. So he did. (don’t judge. It’s summer and he’s just going to get dirtier anyway).  So by the end of the day yesterday after being at the boys baseball camp and playing in the dirt/berries/grass and then at the boys baseball practice and playing in the same dirt/berries/grass, the child looked like a street urchin. A shower fixed him all up. Well, except for the scratches all over his face from various summer fun.

    4. Looks like I will be joining all the boys on this year’s annual baseball trip. On the agenda: Cincinnatti, Pittsburgh, Clevland, and Detroit. Uh huh. Great.

    If there’s anyone out there who has good places of interest (read: good places to take pictures) in any of those locations, please leave me a comment or shoot me an email. I have to have something to do. Or, if you live in any of those locations and you’d like a bsquared photoshoot, email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net. It’ll be in early August.

    5. The boys told me I had bad road rage today. They do speak the truth. Just freakin drive!!! Is it really that hard??

    6. The big boys had their last day of baseball camp yesterday (until I sign them up for another weeklong camp in a few weeks). Here are some shots from the day (you can see the only slightly dirty Timmy, it got much worse later).

    This little one’s big sister was one of my first newborn shoots ever so I was so happy to have the opportunity to take pictures of their newest addition. Miss F is such a pretty baby, and just a great subject. Sleepy, sleepy.

    Some pictures just scream black and white. Seemed like there were a lot of those in this shoot. Wide awake, too.

    Big Sister Miss S was less than pleased to be participating in the shoot (not even the Twizzlers bribe turned her around), but we grabbed the shots we could and left it at that.

    the kell family

    I was so excited to do this shoot. Lois and I knew eachother from highschool, recently reconnected on FB, and she’s apparently been a very loyal blog stalker since. When she asked me if I would take her family’s pictures (not to mention, hooked me up with her sister and niece who’s Sweet 16 I recently shot too) I was thrilled. We’ve been chatting back and forth on facebook for months and I couldn’t wait to take the pictures.

    It’s funny because Lois and I weren’t really friends back in high school, but I think we should’ve been. She’s so sweet and just NICE. So, I’m just glad we are friends now. We’ve also recently enjoyed a sushi dinner with a photography lesson. Can’t wait for the next one!

    Ok, and the kids are gorgeous and so amazingly well behaved. A zillion pictures ahead, so settle in a comfortable chair for this one. We started at their beautiful home and then went over to their town’s beach.

    the nevi christening

    My very good friend Jen’s baby Brady was christened last month and we all were invited to attend.

    Although I wasn’t officially on duty this special day, I couldn’t very well go to the christening without my camera! I got off a few shots at the church and then a bunch at the very fun party.

    web203

    Timmy and his BFF, Jack. Big brother to Brady. And my son refuses to look at the camera anymore.

    You might recognize these two. The little girl is one of a set of twins (green dresses) that I did a shoot for a few months ago, and the little boy I also did a shoot for over the holidays.  Jen is a really good PR agent!!

    web114

    That’s Jen’s sister Stephanie on the right in the white dress. She is Brady’s godmother and the bestest babysitter.

    I love this baby. I can make him laugh like crazy (then he throws up on me, but it’s so totally worth it to hear that belly laugh).

    Much love to you guys! Hope you like the few pictures I took. To see the rest, please click HERE.

    ivy & steve’s wedding- part 2 (ceremony & reception)

    Some reception details:

    web411

     The venue (H on the Harbor in Pt. Washington) was so cool and trendy. Way Miami Beach with the neon and white couches and lounge areas. And the food was awesome- all passed little delicious things plus a sushi bar. Yum!

    All before the ceremony with the excitement building.

    The ceremony was so great!! They laughed and smiled their way thru the whole thing (as did all their guests). Ivy was giggling like crazy and busted out with “I just never thought we would actually get here!!”. This was Steve’s reaction:

    Lots from the ceremony. The kids stood up there with their parents for the whole thing and played an important part in the vows.
