Windy pajama day
Both my scheduled shoots today are cancelled due to the crappy weather. It’s not raining (yet) but it looks like that is immenent and the wind is whipping. Don’t want pictures with "wind face" and they are warning that there is the chance of trees coming down due to the 50+mph gusts. Not a chance I’d like to take at Tanglewood- too many trees.
One is rescheduled for tommorrow, the other I am waiting to hear. While there are so many advantages to natural light photography, this is the definite downside. So we are all still in our pajamas (well, except John) and I am planning on staying that way for the rest of the day. The big boys have a soccer game shortly so they are in the midst of getting dressed– and they are not happy about that. So to make them madder, John has decided to speak only in his spanish accent today. It’s hysterical. I guess all those years working at the "el" have left a lasting effect.
And what’s a post without a picture? Here’s John from the summer, in his usual exhuberantly happy state.

the “mar” family
Had a great shoot yesterday with these cuties and their extremely sweet mom. Ends up that we almost know eachother- a lot of friends in common. And her husband knows my husband from all of John’s years of bartending around the area. These kids were so great and so easy- especially considering their young ages. Great listeners. But when they were done, they were SO DONE. The poor little girl got bit by a mosquito at the end, and it must have been a very hungry, viscious mosquito cause it gave her quite a big bite. There were no more pictures after that. Good thing we were winding it up anyway. Again the shoot was over at Tanglewood. I am loving that spot. Can you tell?
And the trees are getting prettier and prettier. I have another 3 shoots scheduled there this weekend and I am so looking forward to them all. And how adorable is the little boy with his pokey-out tounge. It was sticking out all the time-too cute!
Hope you like them all J.

A dancer
This little shoot kinda just popped up yesterday. I was dropping into the camera store to talk to Mark about some stuff, a woman I know from town was in there lamenting over the pictures she took of her daughter- she needed headshots of her daughter because has the starring role as Clara in The Nutcraker. Although it is not the Lincoln Center show, it is a big production here in our county and a very big deal. And her headshot needed to be in the playbill. So, we worked it out and she dropped by my house today for a super quick photoshoot.
A totally sweet, sweet girl she is too. And a pleasure to photograph. And so pretty, too. Break a leg, K! I’m going to try to talk the boys into going to see the show. If not, maybe I’ll go by myself!
And J, I know you are waiting for your pictures from yesterday’s shoot. I am about 1/2way thru the pictures and hope to be done by tommorrow night. I know this one "cut the line’ but it was an emergency as the pictures are needed for tommorrow morning to go to print! So just hang in there. I can’t wait to show you….

“sometimes we wish you had a different hobby”
Says the poor over photographed 8 year old boys who were unlucky enough to be born into my little photo op world. They have been very good sports lately, letting me snap away using them as my (somewhat, not really) willing subjects. Working hard at home getting my exposure just right and my focus tack sharp. Gotta keep practicing! Sorry, boys.
