    the nevi family

    September 28, 2011 /

    Always a pleasure (but also always added pressure) to take photos of friends. But I had a great time with one of my BFF’s Jen who happens to be the mom of Timmy’s very BFF in the whole wide world. We headed down to Pt. Lookout for some quick family photos. The boys are always NOT into it until there is jumping and running involved so we did as much of that as possible- and ended up with (mostly) happy boys with real smiles!

    Gorgeous momma!! And Timmy’s BFF Jack. Trying hard not to smile for me. Happy boys!Someone was in a mood. This one is my biggest challenge to shoot. He’s literally happy one minute, looking to kill you the next. And has the best smiles and worst dirtiest looks ever!Hope you like them Jen! Love you guys!!

    the rior family

    September 27, 2011 /

    Although I’ve know this fantastic family of 7 for a while now, it was my first time photographing them and I loved every minute of the whole shoot. They are the nicest family and I adored all the blondness!!

    This was my first session with the new camera. What a perfect way to break it in!Love them!Told ya they were fun!The two men of the family. Kinda feel a little bad for them. That’s alot of girls!They are a HUGE lacrosse family. Dad coaches, all the kids play. I was so happy they brought their sticks. Along with the attitude!Ok, I admit I was more than a little afraid with all 5 of them charging me. The best thing? They really do all love eachother and you can see it all the time. Even when they are tackling eachother. I would pay zillions for that hair. Cutest ever, right?And at the end of a fabulous shoot, they had surprise homebaked cupcakes and a chorus of happy birthday for me!! Could they be more thoughtful?! And the cupcakes were delish!!Thanks to all of you for a great shoot, a super fun time, helping me break in my new camera, the laughs and the cupcakes! xo

    goodbye summer

    September 22, 2011 /

    So today being the first full day of fall, I figured I should probably post my end of summer pictures before its like November.

    Just some shots of the boys and their friends at the beach club toward the end of the summer.

    It was so overcast, humid and almost misty at the beach that day. So you’ll see the pictures get a little fuzzier as the day goes on. However, they were all taken with my newly fixed 70-200 lens that I’m so happy is finally sharp!!I taught Timmy how to boogie board this summer. So glad I did- he loved it!!!Stupid rats with wings. But, the lens is nice and sharp!!
    Uncle Nelson torturing Jack and then falling into the hole that the boys dug earlier. Man, I miss the summer. A lot. Missing the lack of schedule, lazy days and beach & pool. A really lot.

    Well, happy fall. (and I still have one more summery personal session to post so there will be one last glimpse of summer here on the blog coming soon).

    the aria family

    September 21, 2011 /

    A new to bsquared family who I was so happy to photograph on the grounds of the Cathedral in Garden City. Dressed/styled by Finishing touches by Christine (who I highly recommend for any of you who are ‘fashion challenged’ for sessions like I am!) they looked amazing and had personalities to match.

    I’ll leave the pictures to tell their fun family story.
