Saturday’s shoots: the wls family
There are just some children/babies/families that are SO super easy to photograph. Well, this was one of them. Not only is this family incapable of taking a bad picture, their little boy is just super cute and so happy. It was such a breeze! The hardest part was picking out which pictures to use as keepers cause they were all so good.
And the funniest part of this shoot…another 6 degrees of separation thing. They were referred to me by the Wal family who was originally referred to me by a woman who takes my scrapbook class. So this is like a 3rd generation referral. With me so far? Well, it turns out that the dad/husband of this Wsl family, his sister bought my parents house earlier this year. And he and his dad are in construction and are doing all the work on the house. Pretty funny, huh? Can’t you just hear "It’s A Small world afterall" playing in the background?

New Prices
Oh, a business post!
After much consideration I have decided to increase my prices slightly for next year, beginning January 1st, 2008. I’m sharing this information now because if you book a session for 2008 before the end of 2007, you will still pay the current prices. So if you are thinking about booking something for next year, you might want to do it before the end of 2007.
My new pricing structure:
Full Photoshoot= $125.00
Party/event shoot= $225.00
Mini-session (which will only be available during the holiday season October-December)= $75.00
If you are looking for more information on the different types of shoots listed, please look here- how to book a session. All prices are subject to change if your shoot will be with a larger group or there are other special circumstances.
I am still not advertising at all. So if you loved the pictures I took for you this year, please feel free to pass my blog address ( www.bsquaredphotography.net) on to your friends and family. Thanks!

And so it begins….
Do you see what is wrong with this picture? That maybe it says something not so Christmasy. And maybe not so appropriate? Yeah, that would be my husband. Every year since I got the SANTA (not Satan) letters to hold the stockings, I have found them in this order instead. So the house is decorated on Monday night and I come downstairs on Tuesday morning to find this. And all I can say is "and so it begins…"
It’s always an adventure.
Here’s our tree this year. The most pathetic part…do you see the adorable Pottery Barn picture frames hanging on there? Yeah, do you see they are empty? Do you know I’m a photographer? I think I should probably get on that, huh?
Finally did some Christmas shopping today. Had a blast at Target and a few stores in town (must be cryptic cause some little eyes in this house sometimes read the blog). Not even close to done yet though. I even did my own presents today. It’s just so much easier that way. And you know the only real present I want is a trip to Disney in February. Tonight’s Hannukah present was a garbage truck toy and "guy" for Timmy and the big boys got Star Wars The Complete Saga Wii game. As if they didn’t spend enough time on that Wii already.
Parent/Teacher conferences tommorrow for the big boys. Four shoots coming up this weekend. And hoping to go see Santa on Saturday morning. Busy, busy. Still.

Happy Hannukah
Ok, so I’m a day late. Tonight was the 2nd night but these pictures are from last night. My parents are great and do Hannukah for the boys- so they not only get a ton of Christmas gifts, but one gift a night for Hannukah too. They make out well, huh? Last night all three of them got Hess trucks (always love those). Tonight Jack & Patrick got Super Mario 8 for the Wii, and Timmy got a wooden dumptruck with a "guy". Everyone was very happy with their gifts- and of course the boys RAN downstairs to get a Wii hit with their new game. We are having fun lighting the candles each night with grandma and grandpa. Timmy even made his own menorah at school (so we do have one jewish kid afterall) and loves singing the "dreidl, dreidl, dreidl" song with me. Although he gets all embarrased if anyone else is watching.

Better late than never: The tar family
My last one from Sunday. Sorry for the delay. Been innudated with card creations for clients and just life around here. Now I am all caught up- not that that status is going to last very long at all.
This was one BUSY shoot. These boys are real, real boys. Yelling, screaming, running, moving, GOING! It was definitely challenging getting any shots that were more than a big blur. They are both super sweet though. The older one was so excited to show me his basement playroom and all his stuff. After keeping them inside for a bit of the shoot, they lucked out and got to go out and play in the snow for a little while. I was freezing, but poor mom had on cute little leopard print flats with no socks. I don’t know how much longer they stayed outside after I left…probably not too long, especially with mom’s footwear!
I know that the picture below of the little one looking up into the camera is blurry (what a surprise, right?) but I couldn’t resist that face bigger than the whole world!
