the reku communion
Another blog post=another communion! This weekend coming up will be my last weekend shooting communions this year, but the blog posts will keep on coming (6 more to edit/blog and then another 4 to shoot this weekend), hope you are enjoying them all (and if you are not, just hang in there. Among the shoots to edit are still a bunch of families, the destination wedding in Jamaica, and some personal pictures here and there).
My second time taking pictures for this family and I thoroughly enjoy their 3 boys (hmmm….I wonder why). We were in trees, in chairs, eating ice and chocolate chip cereal, hanging out with mom & dad, and having lots of fun.
Can’t forget the other family member. Woof.
I was so thrilled to get some smiles out of this little one. The last shoot I couldn’t get a one. That all changed- I must have worked on my jokes!!
Thank you all for a fun (and hot) morning. Hope your party was wonderful, J.

the boeh communion
Two things: If you are a RVC Schools parent, please make sure you go out and VOTE YES today!!! And two, please excuse the brief narrative. I’m 15 shoots behind in editing and have another 10 shoots scheduled this week/weekend. I need every minute I can get to edit!
Another bsquared communion shoot with clients you’ll probably recognize from previous shoots. I had the pleasure of capturing their oldest’s special day. She was lovely and beautiful, as was the rest of the family.
I felt so terrible for the littlest girl who was suffering horribly from allergies. I took out as much ‘red’ from her face as I could, hope the Benadryl did the rest.
Great seeing you all again and I hope the party was a huge, fun success!

the pede communion
My second communion shoot for this family, who I always enjoy photographing. This was a very early morning shoot for me (8:30am) because they had the first mass of the day. I was just impressed that they were all up and 100% ready when I arrived!!
Handsome boys.
This was my first time meeting their doggy who was very good and quite photogenic herself!
And M? You looked wonderful!! Hot mama alert!
Thanks boys for being so good and easy for me, especially on our early morning shoot.

7 for Sunday
1. Tuesday this week was insane. My day looked like this: everyone up and fed, out to school, came back and facebooked that day’s blog post, edited 6 pictures while choking down breakfast, got my hair highlighted, went to the bank, went to Pilates, went to A&S pork store and the camera store, ate lunch while driving, picked up Timmy from school, went to the stupidmarket, picked up the big boys at school, took big boys to the orthodontist, came home and put away groceries, took Timmy to t-ball and stayed for 15 minutes, drove Jack & Patrick to their baseball game and stayed 15 minutes (picture below is of Jack at bat), went back and picked up Timmy at his t-ball game so John could go to the big boys game to coach, came home and cooked dinner and edited till 3am. My mondays usually look something like this but this was particularly bad.
2. A new little bsquared offering. A cute little keychain with a picture from your session and the bsquared logo on the back. (sorry about the eh pictures of the keychains. I need that macro lens!) Everyone who is doing a shoot with me gets one keychain included with their order as a little thank you. Additional keychains can be purchased for $5 each.
3. A few shots of Patrick outside of Sushi-ya. Had the camera, it was nice light and there were some good ‘urban decay’ stairs. Couldn’t help myself.
4. Have a new little dream. Ok, so it’s not so little but it’s still a dream. There’s an old dilapidated house in town that I eye everytime I pass it. It’s a 2 family old victorian on a residential and commercial block and I want it. There’s a (potentially) amazing wrap around porch, a huge yard in the back that I could landscape just the way I want for shooting outside. It would be so cool to turn it into the bsquared studio! I have such visions for it, but not the funds to buy it. But you never know…
5. Bought Timmy some new games (all educational) and they are so fun. He really loves them and of course, there are pictures.
6. Just have to make it thru this weekend, next week and weekend and then I’ll be cutting back to working only one day a weekend. Which is a really good thing- I’m exhausted!! I also have to get to work on the bsquared Sept-December shooting schedule. That should be up around the 1st week of June. Stay tuned…
7. It was a struggle to get to 7 today! I haven’t even touched the pictures from Jamaica yet but had to post one of the boys. Yah, mon. Respect.

timmy’s 1st t-ball games
It’s official. Everyone in this house is all about the baseball. Well, everyone except for me- I just take the baseball pictures. Timmy started t-ball and although he missed the 1st two games (one cause he was getting over the whole asthma thing and the other cause we were in Jamaica) he finally got to start this week. John is managing Timmy’s team (isn’t he the best daddy?!) and still coaching Jack & Patrick’s team. Makes things very interesting when both teams play on the same night.
Anyway, here are some shots from Timmy’s first 2 games.
Yes, he really is that little compared to other kids his age. Kinda sad. (Timmy and his BFF Jack. Jack’s dad is one of the coaches for their t-ball team.)
Love, love, love the tongue hanging out all the time. And the head that is just too little for the batting helmet.
Jack & Patrick have been helping out during the games on 1st and 3rd bases. Although for this game we had to leave after 15 minutes cause their game was starting. Again, those nights are very interesting.
Jack at bat and his littlest brother Brady (aka my boyfriend) with their mom/my friend Jen. Jen’s going to be starting her own business very soon. I’m not allowed to share what it is yet, but I promise I’ll let you know as soon as I can. I’ll be helping out with some pictures for her website and product so you’ll definitely see everything on the blog sooner or later. And yes, Jen was the one who was my first bsquared employee who is now leaving me already to concentrate on her own venture. I’ll be introducing you to bsquared’s newest assistant soon.
Really, could the kid be any cuter? I know I’m biased and all, but seriously.
I’m off for 8 shoots over the next two days- wish me luck!
