    the “gom” family

    This was Saturday afternoon’s family shoot. The mom is the one who owns the T-shirt company bcause i said so that I have been doing the shirt pictures for. If you get a chance, go check out her webiste. The stuff is super cute and makes great gifts. And they just started a "charitable baby" section where the newest shirts "sharing is caring" profits all go toward the pediatric cancer foundation.

    Anyway, I used to work with D way back in my Jimlar Corp. days when I was the buyer for Coach shoes. She has three boys also who were so well behaved and easy to work with. A total pleasure. And all three are so handsome- each in their own individual way. The oldest is an amazing hockey player, the middle a soccer guy (and total ham for the camera) and the baby, well…he hasn’t decided on his sport quite yet. But he’s getting going with the standing alone. And we love that red hair, and the freckles too.

    the “tak” family

    Had a great newborn and family shoot this morning. The mom is the sister of "Mrs. Pow", so if the family looks familiar it’s because you have seen them on the blog before at their dad’s suprise party. The baby is about 3 weeks old and just a little smoosh. I even got to hold him a few times (but no baby itch for me). Mom and Dad were very ummm….pliable. They let me do just about anything I suggested (thanks for the furniture moving, J). Big sister is a total cutie and is SO 2. Just like Timmy. You can’t make her do a thing she dosen’t want to. But she was so great and friendly, and so, so super sweet to her new baby brother. Oh, and she loved her leaves!

    Img_8024sl Looking for that elusive Christmas card shot and birth announcement shot. Hope you like them and find some contenders, K. Img_7963sl Img_7970pr Img_8013x Img_8063x Img_8116 Img_8099x Img_8178sc Img_8069x Img_8006x Img_8048x

    a mini-session for the “rote” family

    I had a mini session for Holiday cards yesterday afternoon for the "rote" family. A three year old and a 4 month old= challenging! They were great though, but the little one definitely did not like the snowsuit (it was pretty cold out) so we braved the weather and switched to a small jacket instead. The big one was a great help in holding the baby, but he is a big baby and got heavy pretty quick so I had to work fast. Grandma was there and jumped in a few shots too, but was otherwise my helper- getting the kids to smile with her singing. Worked like a charm most of the time. Hope you like them, A and can find something to use for your card. Img_7706x Img_7730x Img_7778sl Img_7791sl Img_7836sl

    the nev family

    This morning’s shoot was for my new, good friend and her family. Her little boy is one of Timmy’s BFF’s. The two of them have started wrestling non-stop at all of their activities together. In that good, fun boy way. The boys are together 3 days a week now, and seem to love every minute of it. We even have a playdate tommorrow.

    We finally got it together and the weather cooperated (for the most part as it was pretty cold!) so we got the shoot done. The foliage couldn’t have been any better. And how much does she look like Reece Witherspoon!?Img_7249sl Img_7288sc Img_7307slImg_7441sl Img_7527sl Img_7332mo Img_7530pr34 Img_7592sl Img_7640mids Img_7689cbw Img_7205sl

    I want french fries!

    Just a cute little story for today.

    Every night when I ask the big boys what they want for lunch the next day so I can get a jump on it and make it the night before, I hear 3 voices calling up from the basement or from in the den….

    Jack: turkey and cheese (or ham and cheese, or bologna and cheese)

    Patrick: turkey and salami (or turkey, salami and provolone)

    Timmy: I want french fries!!

    When we went to the country club all summer, he always got fries with lunch. So I guess now he thinks he can always ask for them. Well, he can always ask, he just usually dosen’t get it. It’s just too cute hearing that little voice.Img_5631sl

    Gearing up for a busy, busy photoshoot weekend (weather permitting). Two shoots tommorrow, 4 on Saturday, and 2 on Sunday. We may end up juggling some of the Saturday ones over to Sunday if the weather still looks bad. Be on the lookout for lots of new pictures coming as fast as I can process them.
