    the nur wedding- part two

    Bridal_lounge_mosaic The bridal lounge. So far, my favorite bunch. But I guess thats kinda unfair to say since every time I edit another batch, I get new favorites! I just LOVE the bride & groom portraits- especially in the moca finish. They just look so classic- like out of the 1940’s or something.Img_1315mo Img_1328sl Img_1333mo 

    The whole wedding party (including all the parents) were just so good looking, they were so easy to shoot. Had to get some of my favorite candids in there too. The kids were also adorable and were pretty cooperative, especially considering the age range.Img_1215sl Img_1238sl Img_1048sl Img_1247x Img_1266cbw Img_1284x Img_1288sl Img_1252cbw Img_1345sl Img_1371cbw Img_1380sl Img_1432cbw Img_1443sl Img_1307x Img_1504cbw Img_1529sl Img_1551sl Img_1596sl Img_1609sl Img_1533sl Img_1255sl Img_3508sc Img_1709cbw 

    I know it’s kinda photo overload on this post, but there are so many good ones, I couldn’t decide! They are all in an album on the left as usual. Click on any image to see it larger. Hope you are all enjoying them. On to editing the ceremony next.

    Happy {almost} Easter

    Img_4119sl Some pictures from our egg dying adventures Thursday. All the boys are off school until Tuesday, so we’ve beem trying to fit in a project a day. Yesterday, we went to see Horton Hears a Who which was very cute. I love that Timmy will sit for a whole movie! But I don’t love that it costs me almost $50 to take my three kids to the movies (including snacks). What a total rip off. Img_4110x Img_4113sl Img_4117sl

    Img_4120sl Img_4128sl Img_4132sl Img_4121sl Img_4138sl Img_4147sl We are planning to head over to the book store on Monday. The big boys are running low on reading material so we are going to look for something new.Img_4098x Img_4100x 

    Had three shoots today and still working on editing the wedding. I hate being behind! But with the amount of shoots I have booked over the next month alone, I think I had better get used to it!

    The Nur wedding- Part One

    Ok, here we go. Finally, the first images from the HUGE wedding we shot on this past Sunday. These are just the first bunch, from the bridal suite. The first time we saw the bride, the dress, the first time the bride saw herself all ready, and the first time the groom saw the bride. The bridal suite album is on the left and contains all the full sized images. Personally, loved the bride’s choice of footwear before getting ready! Mosaic_suite Img_1175x

    What are you waiting for….Purim???

    Img_4054sl The above must be said in your very best Yiddish intonation. And for my many non-jewish friends out there, the correct pronounciation of Purim is Purrrr-im (purr like a cat purrs), not pure-im. The what are you waiting for thing is John’s favorite and pretty much only Jewish saying. He likes to say it a lot. My mother is thrilled that she has one Jewish grandchild (he’s not really, it’s just that his school is in a temple and they observe all the Jewish holidays). So they had a big Purim party at Timmy’s school. Here’s an overload of pictures- but they were all so cute, I couldn’t decide which ones to leave out.

    Timmy loved the story of Purim and was the only one in the class to remember all the names of the people in the story. He is wearing his Hayman hat, shaking his groger (a noisemaker), and LOVED saying BOOOO whenever Hayman’s name is mentioned. Uch, such a punim (that means what a face).Img_4058sl Img_4070sl  Img_4033sl Img_4037sl Img_4038sl Img_4043sl Img_4050sl

    the rote family (again)

    Did a shoot on Saturday for the "rote" family. You might remember them from around the holidays. The baby is getting so big. Such a smiley little one (and really, not so little! He’s about 8 months old and wearing 12-24mo’s!) Their older boy is a basketball fanatic and is really good. The dribbling was very impressive! Since he’s so into basketball, that had to be reflected in the pictures for sure. Dad was not happy about the whole picture thing- as most dads seem to feel about me- but I got a pretty positive review in the end from him as being "relatively painless". Works for me! And mom is a woman of infinite patience. I’m not sure how she manages that all the time, but she does.

One kid crying, one kid squeezing mom’s nose, and mom can’t do anything but laugh cause that’s just her life. Img_0943cbw
