going bald for st. baldrick’s
Another year, another bunch of awesome volunteers getting their heads shaved while raising money for kids cancer research. I’m always happy to volunteer my time and take some photos during this extremely wonderful event- especially this year with a friend’s son fighting the battle (and his dad getting shaved) and a message from the founder of St Baldrick’s specifically asking me to come. So check out this year’s baldies and heroes!
Dougie who is aforementioned friend’s son- he’s doing awesome and is looking great. And now he and his dad have matching heads.
I think he may have been having a little too much fun!
Happy momma. And not a dry eye in the house. 
You Go Dougie! 
Some brave souls with bald heads.
One of Timmy’s teammates from baseball, Jack.
Another friend/client’s sons. The little one had the best expressions!
Mom checking out her brave boys. 
This guy had a LOT of hair to shave. 
Wish I was closer for this shot, this kid was awesome!
And as soon as this lady sat down, I said to someone next to me, she is going to ROCK the shaved head. And she sure did. 
More friends boys and families.
And the one who started it all. John Bender (and his daughter helping out!)
His other daughter and her long hair she was brave enough to donate. (you can see her ponytail in her hand on her lap).
His son who had a whole lot of hair to take down. 
The end result.
His wife who helps coordinate and runs the whole event and does an amazing job!
The whole family!

super saturday
Told you it was only a matter of time until we returned to Timmy and/or basketball posts. Two weeks ago was Super Saturday and the last games of the year. Which kinda stinks cause Timmy loved it.
The whole team and Coach.
At the end of the games there was a free throw contest with one kid picked from each team to shoot. Two of the last three were friends of Timmy’s. Chris V (in maroon) and Tommy (in blue). Chris ended up coming in 1st and winning the contest with Tommy coming in 2nd place. 
Timmy went to nursery school with Arthur (on the left) who is now on his baseball team this year, and Luke (on the right) is a classmate at school. And now onto baseball. yay.

annabella
I originally had a basketball post scheduled for today, but when I went on my Facebook feed this morning, I found out that today was the 3 year anniversary of Annabella becoming a part of her forever family. So blog plans changed, and as luck would have it, I recently photographed Miss Annabella (and her parents) as part of a casting call I did to try out some new stuff and a new location (success on both, by the way.). So to celebrate their familyversary today, here’s a TON of photos from our session last weekend. I can hardly believe that its almost 3 years since I was waiting at the airport for their arrival home from China and meeting her family for the first time. You can also find her 1st birthday shoot here. She still makes the same exact funny faces, too!
Love the thumb hooked into the pocket. That was all her.
Giggles.
And lots and lots of hugs.

the beach
I know its only the first day of spring today, but after the winter we’ve had, summer and the beach every day cannot come soon enough!! We had some unusually “big” waves down in Hallandale this trip, along with some jellyfish. Timmy got stung a little by a small one- thankfully not one of the man ‘o wars we saw washed up on the shore. He smelled like a tossed salad w vinegar the rest of the day.
Im so sad these are my last set of pictures from Florida. But they’re my favorites.

wyatt (the dog)
After photographing an event, made a quick visit to my cousin Susan’s house to finally meet her gorgeous golden, Wyatt. He looks like a big cuddly bear, and kinda acts like a teddy bear. He’s been doing some dog shows with some successes (well, yeah cause he’s gorgeous!) and just turned a year old. Since it is now confirmed that Timmy is allergic to all dogs (adults, hypo allergenic, non -shedding, any kind) at least I have another one to visit on my rounds when I get the urge.
Wyatt w his mommy, Susan. He looks like a bear, right?
With his big brother who has survived cancer and is a big old mush with a sweet face. 
So happy I’m posting something other than pictures of Timmy or basketball? Well, not to worry. Those posts resume tomorrow.
