introducing…baby kate
Not only did I get to photograph their beautiful wedding (here, here and here too) and their son when he was a newborn and then again a few years later, I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph their brand new baby girl just last week! I love having long histories with families and watching them grow and becoming friends with them! Melissa- hope you are catching up on some sleep! Thank you so much for the wonderful session and for sharing your family with me. Again!
Gorgeous family, right?
I have a similar photo of Daddy and their little boy when he was a baby. 
He’s already an amazing big brother. Protective, sweet and kind. And I couldn’t love the smattering of freckles across his nose more. 
Isn’t she just the prettiest, pinkest little bundle?
Little content smiles.
Just chillin.
I’m so funny I even got the baby to laugh.

miscellaneous monday
I’m really behind on editing sessions so you’ll just have to bear with me for today for a general post. And please note the pictures below have pretty much absolutely nothing to do with the writing.
1. With the boys home all summer, the crazy shooting schedule, baseball, and just life I’m running about 3 weeks from session to gallery. All of you waiting for your pictures, just know I’ve been staying right in that 3 week window and I’m doing everything I can to get your pictures to you as soon as possible. A few newborns in there as well always jump the line.
2. This weekend was totally nuts. All in a good way though. Had my brother in law’s 40th birthday party on Friday night, shot a bbq for my bride and groom on Saturday then rushed to get home take my 3rd shower of the day (holy hotness around here!!) and go to a Howard Jones concert at the Paramount in Huntington (awesome!!) More on the concert in another post soon (but at this rate soon may be August). Then shot a fantastic and fun wedding all day today (with sweat in places that are just unmentionable) and rushed back home to make it to the annual fireworks display. And bits of editing in there whenever I had 5 free minutes.
3. I’ve had a few people ask me about my fall calendar. I’ll be opening up the September thru November calendar in mid August. I know that’s a little later than normal, but with the boys crazy schedule with travel baseball and after school stuff, I’m trying to wait as long as I can to see what their schedule might look like for the fall. So keep your eye on the blog and bsquared on Facebook to make sure you grab a date before they’re gone. Fall goes super fast! Early bird gets the worm. Or crab.
Attempting pilates today (after shooting a wedding all day yesterday. should be interesting.) and hoping to get down to the beach for a bit since I missed it all weekend. And hoping its a little cooler out. I think I have no sweat left.

jake’s little man mustache bash (aka 1st birthday)
Be ready for total picture overload! Jake is my first and so far only birth session baby so he holds a special place in my heart and lens! I was so excited (and honestly, a little surprised that he was turning the big oh-one already!) to photograph his day. Especially with his mom being a party planner extrodinaire, I knew there wouldn’t be one single detail missed. Jenn is starting her own event planning business, and as soon as I have a link for her website I’ll be sure to share it because you NEED to hire her for your next event.
He looks like the guy who answers the door in the Wizard of Oz with that mustache on! But way cuter!!
And some (ok, a lot) of the party details. They were too awesome to leave anything out!
Do you recognize those pictures?
The little milk bottles were my personal favorites.
Grandma and her boy.
Lots of very familiar faces at the party. 
The mustache painting didn’t work out well, but was a good try.
Someone was reeeeeeally enjoying her cake pop.
So big!
Time for cake! (he was pretty displeased with the whole cake thing. Not that you can tell by his face or anything…)
This may very well be my favorite photo from the whole party. Mommy’s gorgeous legs, Jake’s chubby cakey legs, and Ali smashing the cake.
You might die of the cuteness. 
Happy birthday Mr. Jake!! Can’t wait to keep watching you grow!!

baby sophie
This newly minted little family was gifted with a bsquared newborn session from their “covert family”. I was so happy to meet them and we spent a bunch of time together just chatting while trying to get little baby Sophie to take a nap. A little top off from the bottle, a little rocking and cuddles and she was good to go for her session.
Oh, hello there.

the gast family
A brand new to bsquared family who was gifted by a bunch of friends to a bsquared session. The gift was given to them upon the birth of their littlest son, but they decided to wait until he was a bit older to do their session. I’m glad they did cause we had a great time! The boys are packed full of personality and were just a ball!
