Before meeting this family, I figured I would really have my work cut out for me just based on the fact that there were two boys- both under 6. But I can report that they were absolutely wonderful. They were so great and fun and well behaved and I think we had a great time together. Mom (who is like model-gorgeous by the way) and dad were both super nice and welcoming and up for all my crazy requests.

Mom showed me some pictures displayed in their home that another photographer has taken of the boys over the past few years so I could get a good idea of the style she likes. Luckily, I didn’t have to work very hard to ‘match’ the style as it is very similar to mine. They are big on b/w so you will see a more than usual amount of those below and in the album.

Had a great time with all of you. You boys rocked it!!! You were the best subjects- and so handsome. A family with the complete package.

This whole day ended up working out so well. John was still in the hospital so after my morning shoot out here I went into the city to visit with him for a bit and then jumped into a taxi up to central park. The weather was perfect and the park was gorgeous. I really hope some of my other clients want to go in to central park for a shoot. There are endless possibilites there and one location is better than the next. (hint, hint people)!

This is my second shoot for the huss family and we had a great time. I last photographed them at their adorable daughter’s 1st birthday in December 2007 (and I will be there for her 2nd birthday party this December as well). She’s really just so cute and animated. The smiles were a little hard to coax out of her but when I got one- it was like magic!

Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon to catch more of Miss K in action!

Both these wonderful ladies are teachers over at Jack and Patrick’s school (soon to be Timmy’s too). Jack had mrs. pas in 2nd grade and we just adored her. We were never lucky enough to get mrs. alt but there’s always the chance with Timmy. Mrs. Alt’s daughter is in Timmy’s preschool class which is also nice so I am getting to know her that way.

I think all the teachers kids from the school are required to be good looking or something. Cause they are REALLY are.

First the alt family. Isn’t she stunning?? She’s a tiny little thing but packed with personality.

Next the pas family. The little boy didn’t really want too much to do with me, but he came around in the end. But as good looking as he is- that’s how fast the kid is. Zip. Zip. Zipzipzip. All over. And even though his eyes are teary, I promise I didn’t make him cry- he’s just coming off a cold and was leaky all over his little face.

Think I’m drowning just a little. In over my head. But plugging along cause that’s just how it is.

John is doing a little better today- or rather he was until later in the night. He was able to get out of bed himself and do a little more walking today (still with the walker though) but had a lot of pain again tonight which was due in part to the fact that the nurse was 2hrs late with his pain meds. And he now also has a lowgrade fever and they don’t know why. His surgeon had said he may come home tommorrow but I just don’t see how thats going to work. 1. he has a fever. 2. he can’t really get around by himself and god knows I can’t lift him! So I’m not sure what’s going to happen. His surgeon hasn’t seen him since Friday but he’s supposed to see him in the morning. I’ll keep you posted.

And now, the doy family. This is my second year doing pictures for this family and the big boys were even less happy about me being there than they were last year- but they do take a great picture!! The baby grew up so much and the little girl is just as adorable and photogenic as ever. Had some fun running around at Tanglewood and taking some pictures to get something for their holiday card. Hope we succeded, D.
