The Turn: The December Sessions
As you probably already know, The Turn will be putting on a big show on April 18th at Madison Hall in Rockville Centre. The show is in part to promote their new CD, The December Sessions. The CD is awesome (and you can listen to it here: http://www.myspace.com/rocktheturn.
The guys enlisted me to help design the CD artwork (that was fun!). Brian took the picture on the front, my picture is on the back. We worked hard putting it together with lots of ‘meetings’ here at my computer. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
The Turn rehearsed last night for the big show, and I was asked to tag along for some pictures. And I got a little preview of what the big show will be like- it’s gonna be great!!! Then, we braved the whipping wind and cold (barely. I thought it was spring!) up on an NYC rooftop for some pictures too.
Look for a post soon with the new pictures.
If you haven’t yet, get your tickets to the big show (I promise you won’t be dissapointed). You can get them by calling Brian at 516.458.7299. See you there!!

first visit to citi field (for all the boys)
While I was at Gail’s baby shower yesterday (where I didn’t take one single picture and the camera stayed home, but was assigned the job of ‘scribe’ by my sister in law Inez, which is so right up my alley. You know me and my lists!) all the boys (John, Jack, Patrick, Timmy, Uncle That Guy, Brendan, Sean & Grandpa Jack) went to a pre-game game at Citi Field. They were doing a run thru to make sure everything was working correctly in the park before the Mets start playing. Honestly, I don’t think many people went to see the game but to check out Citi Field.
John took the point n shoot and between him and the boys, got some good shots of the new park.
The excitement is building…

half-weekend update
Halfway thru the weekend and so much already done. Not including the never ending cycle of laundry. I loathe the laundry. Seriously.
Friday night went to the boys school Parents Night Out and had some fun talking to a few friends. Didn’t stay late, but Timmy was so happy cause Andie came to watch him & his brothers. Being at the bar with Tommy & Denice seemed like old times back in the Sharks bartending days. Funny.
Yesterday, we took all the boys to see Monsters vs. Aliens (cute) and then the big boys had their very first baseball practice for the season. They look pretty professional this year with good uniforms. And could the colors be anymore perfect for them?
Went to the ‘cruncy club’ for Family Fun Night last night with Olivia and her family, and John’s partner Kevin and his family. So everyone had someone (or two or more someones) their age to play with. Well, except for Gavin who kept all the adults entertained with his utter cuteness or chasing after him crawling across the dining room floor. It was a lot of fun with a movie and bowling and pingpong and face painting and ice cream and some wine (that part was for the grown ups). We didn’t get home until after 10pm and were the last ones to leave.
Today is CitiField for all the boys to see the very first game being played there (St.John’s vs. Georgetown). If the rain holds out enough, that is. I’m off to my sister in law Gail’s baby shower this afternoon with my mom (it’s not a surprise, so it’s okay to post beforehand, don’t worry!) at my in-laws house. Gail’s sister is a photographer so I think I’m even leaving the camera at home. How nice.
Back to the never ending laundry now. Did I mention that I loathe the laundry?

just one shot
of our new friend. Taken super quickly Thursday. Hang in there for more-a full shoot of this new little boy scheduled for this week. Pictures soon.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Just saw Monsters vs. Aliens (cute) and the big boys are at their first baseball practice this season. Dinner at the ‘crunchy’ club tonight with Timmy’s other BFF, Olivia and her family. And it’s actually pretty nice out on top of all the other good stuff.

the calm before the storm
It’s getting to be that time of year. The time when photographers rejoice (well, at least this photographer) because there is hope that we might just get outside to start shooting again. Today is the first day that it feels like spring since it’s been spring!
I have booked 12 new shoots within the last week. The 12 don’t include a bunch of newborn babies I’m waiting to hear have “hatched”. This is a reminder to all of you who are waiting to see when the weather will turn before booking, you might want to just book now so you can get your spot.
The photography madness really begins for me the 2nd week of April. I’m pretty quiet between now and then so I’m trying to get as much rest as I can so I’m ready to jump in back to full time shooting. I’m so excited! I have so many ideas floating around in my head that I can’t wait to put to good use. I’ve all but run out of bribes with my boys.
And since a post is just blah without a picture, here’s a recent one of Timmy (milk mustache and all). The most over photographed child in America. Or even the universe. I’m lucky he’ll still sit for me. For now.
