    7 for Sunday

    Ok, so it’s really 10 but that just doesn’t have the same ring to it, now does it? So it’ll be 7 with 3 bonuses. I have so many older pictures that I never got around to posting, so here goes.

    1. The boys can now ALL make this face. Including John who used to torture his sister with it across the dining room table. Ah, traditions.

    2. A few weeks ago I put Jack & Patrick to work (read: slave/child labor. It’s not just for third world countries.) making some bsquared welcome packets. They weren’t too pleased, but they got the job done. And then I packed up a pretty little order to go.

    3. Pulled out the macro lens for a few dandilion shots. Which were in front of someones house next door to a client who’s orders I was delivering. Well, at least they didn’t call the cops about the weirdo lady laying on their front lawn.

    4. I have the best & nicest clients. One of my most favorite blog stalkers (Laurie) brought me some Christmas Story wrapping paper when she saw it while on vacation. Must be Italian.

    5.  Bought myself some new shoes that I just adore. No blisters, even after wearing them for an 8+ hour wedding day. And I adored the packaging. I got a pair of red and a pair of cream, and I just bought them in black, metallic silver and pink cause they’re SO cute and comfy. And the red ones totally match my office and branding. Of course I saved the boxes for the office too. Love! You can find them here: Tieks

    6. Also bought myself a new camera bag that totally looks like a pocketbook. I needed something smaller than the whole gear bag and I love that it doesn’t look like a camera bag- makes it easier to be sneaky in places you aren’t supposed to shoot. It’s extra nice to have if I bring the camera to the boys game and we go out to dinner or something afterwards- I can bring the camera with me and not worry that it’s unsafe. (the whole inside is padded and has removable dividers to fit your camera/lenses/cards/batteries, etc.) You can find it here: Epiphanie  and I have the Lola.7. We had some uninvited guests living in our garage. A sickly looking momma raccoon and her 3 babies. The momma would sit in the tree in our backyard at like 5pm everyday and then just waltz across the backyard on her way to the sewer in the front of the house. It was then that her welcome was over. Buh-bye.8. The boys artwork (self portraits) were featured in the high school lobby during the school budget vote. I think the art teacher just loved that they are twins and that their pictures are so similar. (sorry about the crappy iphone pix, but I didn’t have a real camera with me)9. While we’re discussing the boys, I’m very proud that they both made the National Junior Honor Society and were inducted last month. They get to go on the overnight trip to Washington DC this fall (very exciting!) and are already really looking forward to that. The .4 that separates their overall averages is still an issue around here, but I think they’re starting to get past that.

    10. Almost forgot one thing- if you already “like”  bsquared on facebook, due to some recent changes (including charging business pages to “reach” more people as your posts might get lost on peoples busy newsfeeds. ugh.) if you want to be sure you’re seeing all of the bsquared posts/updates you have to hover over the “liked” button and check/click on “show in news feed”. And if you’re on facebook and don’t yet like bsquared, please go and like it! bsquared on facebook.

    framing friday

    A catchy new title for fridays so I can show you some more of our fabulous clients frames!

    Danielle chose a Lewis in retro teal and parchment for her twins room.

    And a Lucy in black for her living room. And a smaller Lucy in black as a gift for her dad. Laura chose a Jessie frame in dragon fruit for her daughter’s room. We moved the two pictures that were above the rocking chair to the opposite wall above the crib. They look great on either side of Lila’s name!A window frame for Mary Beth from her fall session.

    Happy Friday to all of you. I’m back next week with lots of great sessions. And I’m picking up my new car today, too!!

    Just realized I totally forgot to post these!  Sorry, Laura and thanks for letting me come by and take some pictures of your picture & frame!

    Laura ordered the Cary Grant single in cream soda 16×20″ and added in a photo from our fall session of her gorgeous kids. That was my first Cary Grant order, and I love it!!

    kelly’s window frames & organic bloom frames

    I’m so behind on posting stuff it’s a little ridiculous. At least Disney is finally done.

    Some beautiful Organic Bloom frames my friend & client Kelly ordered for her brand new house. (the hallway lighting was not the most condusive for photos, I did the best I could). The Audrey in white and (on the inside of the middle frame) metallic silver.

    The Lucy in slate blue (inside) and parchment (background) for her master bedroom entry.

    My favorite parts of hanging Kelly’s frames were 1. She made her painter crazy by choosing colors that matched the frames. and 2. Her oldest son came upstairs just as we were finishing up and was all smiles and compliments on the pictures and frames. He was so happy that his picture was displayed where everyone could see it!

    And we did a pretty window frame for Kelly’s living room. I love how the colors in the photos match her living room perfectly and the L monogram was the perfect addition (my first time doing a monogram in the frame- love that idea and hope to do it again!)

    Happy Thursday to all of you! It’s sushi night here and I’m having some photografriends over tonight too. If my allergy ridden self doesn’t sneeze to death prior…
