last from florida
The last of the pictures from our December/January vacation.
As you can see, this is a very slow time of year here on the blog for photoshoots, (not a whole lot of people are running to get outside in January/February especially after having their holiday photos done so recently) but I will have a few sessions to blog coming up over the next few weeks. Lots of dates available on the calendar if you are interested in a session, and I am offering mini sessions (at your home or anywhere you’d like) thru the end of March. A mini session would make a great valentine gift. Just sayin.
We always hit the beach (which is right downstairs and across A1A from the apartment) for at least one day.
John took the boys golfing when the weather wasn’t poolish or beachish.
We went to see the Jets v. Dolphins at SunLife Stadium where we sat on the sun’s surfaceabout 12 rows from the top where it was boiling hot with the sun directly on us. Timmy and I left at halftime, walked around for 30 min looking for the stupid rental car and went back to the apartment.
There was a lot of Lego building at the apartment this year. The Lego version of Harrod’s built by Patrick (with a little help from me, but not much!) He got all 3 floors done before we left to come home. 
And from one extreme to the other- we went to the Orange Bowl again this year (also at SunLife Stadium) but it was probably in the high 40’s that night and it was cooooooold. Stayed thru the third quarter but the game was such a blowout we headed home. The flyover with the parachuters was pretty cool.

bsquared welcome packets
So all the behind the scenes work I’ve been doing for the last few months is finally coming together. I just sent out my first batch of welcome packets to my clients who have booked their 2012 sessions and have had some great responses so far! It’s so exciting and a little nerve wracking getting all the new stuff ‘out there’ to clients; kinda like sending your child to nursery school for the first time!
When you book a bsquared session for 2012, you’ll be receiving this in the mail:
In the welcome packet trifold folder, you’ll be receiving a welcome note, a contract, a bsquared biz card, an appointment reminder card, a copy of the bsquared magazine, a questionaire and an envelope to send your contract, retainer and questionaire back in.Some of the mail from this week.
Hope you like what you see and looking forward to sending YOU (yes, you!) your welcome packet soon!! -
more from florida- seaquarium
When it wasn’t pool/beach weather, we headed down to the Miami Seaquarium.
Don’t even ask about this. Only the Ziparo’s will get it. 
My favorite part. 
The view from the Seaquarium is outstanding.

the brand new bsquared office (well, parts anyway)
For those of you who follow the blog or me/the bsquared page on Facebook, you’ll know that I’ve been in the midst of a huge house purge/anti-hoarding project. The attic and basement have been totally cleaned out & reorganized with all the old stuff either donated to the Vietnam Veterans of America or tossed out. I also cleaned out the ‘scrapbook room’ which no one has scrapbooked in in about 5 or so years and just became a catch all room of crap. And now it’s the new home of bsquared photography!! Painted, furniture is in (well, all of it except the desk chair and the folding chair I’m sitting until the desk chair arrives is THE MOST uncomfortable thing in the universe), little decorating details ordered or delivered. I’m not posting any full pull-back pictures yet as a bunch of stuff is still missing, but I will when it’s all here.
So, here are a few detail shots from the new office.
The corner desk (pottery barn) with the big imac, ipad with the optimum app so I can watch TV at my desk without a TV or a cable box.
Adorbs little mirrored end table (from HomeGoods) with album samples on the top and drawers filled with tiny 2×3 Organic Bloom frames and keychains. You can also see the little couchette. Love that thing!
Other side of the desk with a new lamp (HomeGoods again), an old camera I found in the attic purge (love!!), my Disney ID badge with my name on it. Gotta have my Disney close by.
The newest fun/yummy thing that will accompany some bsquared orders- bsquared m&m’s!! With the portrait package names on the backs. 
A little more of the couchette with new pillows (pottery barn teen & etsy)
Hope you liked the little tour! It’s so nice to have a change of scenery from the previous “office” in the kitchen, with a view, gorgeous light all day and room to spread out. So excited to be in my little office space and I really hope you’ll come by and visit! More pictures of the whole room once the chair, frames and other little things come in. -
florida vacation- by the pool
Since it’s so quiet here on the blog, I figured it was more than time that I edited the pictures from our Christmas vacation to Florida. Especially since we’ve been home for almost a month. Just a few snaps of life by the pool (which was how we pretty much spent every day until the last few days of the trip when it was too cold for the pool). How I wish I was back again…
Photographic proof that my mother actually made it down to the pool (reading on her Kindle). And then she went in the pool. And under the water. Miracles never cease.
When Timmy dives into the pool, he looks like a cartoon character. Just suspended in mid air, flat…until he drops straight down into the water. It’s hysterical!
One of the gorgeous sunsets from the 20th floor. 
That’s A-1A on the left with the ocean, and the intercostal on the right. I wish that was my view all the time!
Omg, I’m freezing. And yes, I’m aware that it’s not really even all that cold here for January. But it’s not Florida.
