the bart communion
Lots of pictures in this post, so make sure you are comfy in your seat before starting.
These are our good friends and their oldest daughter is John’s goddaughter. This day I got to share in Miss K’s first communion and she was a total doll as always. This plus the fact that she really LIKES it when Aunt Beth takes her picture (this is opposed to her older sister-the middle one, and her dad who really dislike my camera with me behind it!) just made my day.
Seriously, gorgeous. All of ’em.
A little family & friends love (or actually a lot).
And a little froggy love. Froggy has never been far away from Miss K since she was born. So glad he made an appearance at the party.

the murp communion
First, I have to say thank you so much to the mom of this family. I had 4 communions to shoot this day and she and I juggled her session time a to a bunch of different times. She was SO understanding and cooperative. You are the best, M and I’m so glad it all worked out. Just a fun shot of mom in the car leaving church…
And now onto the star of the day! Isn’t she lovely? And she was so willing to just keep going with the pictures… (my kinda kid!)
Their kids all go to the same school as the boys, and mom is a speech therapist at the same place where Timmy goes for PT/OT. And the dad knows John. Again, small world.
These were fantastically cooperative kids (and adults too). I have the best clients ever!! Grandparents and a godmother even came to take part in some of the photos on this special day.
Even caught one in the church and one outside with some friends.
Thank you again, M and family. I had a great time capturing your special day. To see all of the images from the shoot, please click HERE.

parlez vous jamaica, mon?!!
I was asked to shoot my very first destination wedding next May in Jamaica. Not Jamaica Queens, but the real Jamaica the Island!!!!
The couple getting married are the fabulous Caren and Tim who’s engagement shoot I recently posted on the blog. I couldn’t have been happier and more honored that they asked me, and I’m so glad we worked the whole thing out. I’ll be shooting their wedding at Beaches Negril on Friday, May 7th 2010 along with all the other weekend festivities (a sunset cruise, the wedding day prep, the whole wedding ceremony and reception, and a trash the dress session). And I can’t wait!!
I will be bringing the whole family along for the trip. And it looks like Timmy’s BFF Jack and his family will be joining us as well. It’s gonna be awesome!!!
10 bonus points to anyone who leaves a comment on this post, guessing where the title comes from. Hint: it’s from a movie and it’s really “parlez vous _______ (insert event here)”.

5 for friday
Cannot believe it’s Friday already. Where did this week go?
1. Here are a few little shots of my new PINK bike. So cute, right?? Been riding around as much as I can with all the boys. Still not sure if I’m putting on the baby seat in the back for Timmy. He’s really so big and doing such a great job on his bike, but for long rides, he just can’t do it. I would like to add a basket in the front though. (And really, the basket should be white plastic wicker with plastic colorful daisies on it. If you were a girl in the 70’s you know exactly what basket I’m talking about!) And maybe some streamers…. (ok, kidding about the streamers. But I do want a normal basket for real.)
2. Dropped off three children to school, took the train to Manhattan, shopped at B&H Photo, took a train home, bought another lens online, picked up Timmy and went to a playdate all before 1:30pm today. Now c’mon…that’s impressive!
3. Had a great time at B&H (thanks for the company Nelson). Bought two new lenses today. The 135mm 2.0L and the 50mm 1.2L and I cannot wait to play with them both. I also picked up some little things like an additional battery pack, a UV filter, a flash card wallet and some new 2.0gig flash cards. That store is beyond dangerous!
I think I will be selling my 50mm 1.4 shortly, so if you are interested let me know. It’s the BEST lens and I will be so sad to see it go but I highly recommend it. It’s fabulous. I’m just upgrading to the pro version of it. So once the lenses arrive, I will be all L series. Yippee!!
4. Today is visitors day at Jack & Patrick’s school. Should be a lot of fun! And then tonight we are celebrating Grandma & Grandpa’s one year (+22 years) wedding anniversary at a restaurant in Queens. Pictures soon.
5. Trying to keep up with the editing from last weekend, have 5 shoots scheduled for the weekend, one Monday, one Thurs night, one Friday night and possibly another one during the week. And I haven’t seen my bed before 2am in about a week. I don’t see that changing in the immediate future.
6. (ok, I know there are only supposed to be 5 but whatever. It’s my blog, I can break the rules). My good friend Beth picked me up a great and unexpected (and unneccessary but very appreciated) Mothers Day gift. This awesome red metal bucket. She mentioned that she dosen’t know anyone else who would be so excited to get this as a gift. But it’s awesome!!
