the christmas that was 2010
Finally got around to editing and posting these (sorry for the delay if you were waiting for them but they aren’t all that exciting or anything so hopefully you won’t be terribly disappointed!). Christmas was fantastic this year and Santa was very good to all of us. Maybe that Bob had something to do with it, putting in an extra good word for the Beyrer family when he met up with Santa.
I snuck downstairs after Santa came but before the boys were up to take some pictures of all the loot. And loot there was!
Everyone left Santa notes, cookies, milk, some chocolate kisses for good measure, and carrots for the reindeer. Oh, and Timmy made a candy cane just for Santa. But that was after him saying that we couldn’t leave the Oreos out for Santa cause those are Timmy’s favorite cookie. Guess he isn’t willing to share, not even with Santa.
Of course Bob was on call. He’s decide to stay with us instead of heading back to the North Pole just yet. We’re happy he’s hanging around.
Someone was happy with his Galactic Heroes. All 9,000 of them.
After much debating, we picked up some macbooks for the boys. They use the desktop PC often for homework but it’s old and tired and filled with viruses. I’m hoping that these will last them a while and they are definitely enjoying them so far.
Some catchers gear for Patrick.
The aftermath of weeks of shopping, hours of wrapping, lists for Santa and maybe 15 minutes of opening. Santa brought the big boys the Xbox with extra controllers and a few games including Call of Duty (with instructions that they just cannot play it when Timmy’s around), he brought us all an ipad to share, and he brought Timmy a new DS and a few games for that. Not to mention the tons of jerseys, sporting goods, shirts, slippers, clothes for me and books (for John-we all have Kindles) that were opened. It was a very good Christmas and we were so happy to spend it together. The look of disbelief on the big boys faces when they opened the Xbox was the best!!
After a crazy morning of opening, sorting, eating and packing we got on the plane to Florida. As it turns out, we got out of dodge just in time before the blizzard of 2010 hit, closing the airports, roads and dumping a ton of snow all over NY. So glad we missed that. That was the biggest Christmas miracle of all!!

the owen family
While I had great aspirations for some kind of year end wrap up or something today I’m being so lazy and vacationy that I didn’t get around to it. Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after that. My new tag line- Vacation. It doesn’t suck.
Another shoot lost in the holiday shuffle. A quick mini session at home for these delicious kids who have appeared here on the bsquared blog more times than I can count. Their mom was basically the starting point of my business- sending many (and I do mean MANY- like in almost all) of my first clients. I adore photographing them and am so happy that they now have a whole new baby for me to take pictures of!
Love the face on the right- please get him offfffff me!! There’s droooooool!!!
Hi, I’m K….welcome to my Christmas village.
He is the happiest baby. Ever. 
Something entirely MadMen about this picture. Don’t know if it’s the lighting, the look he’s giving me or what. But I adore it. 
Thanks for another fantastic shoot! Can’t wait for the christening!!!Oh, and I can’t leave this out. When B was born, Jerry from Fade to Black Video came over (on crutches no less) to film their shoot and make it into a whole ‘video your shoot’ experience for the family. I challenge you not to cry- especially at the ‘brand new brother’ part. He presented the video at the christening (pictures from the christening soon). It’s really a must watch!

the arle family
Oh, deeeeer. Except there was no deer this year (c’mon, you’ve gotta remember this family from last year!). Mom still brought the fun props, but totally scaled it back this year (I think dad was pretty pleased about not having to carry the huge decapitated deer thru the park!) And the santa hat was the biggest hit with the boys.
The one on the left has suddenly turned into the biggest ham EVER. He used to be so shy and hate having his picture taken, but now it’s like a whole new kid!
It wouldn’t be the arle family without a few lollipops!
Props, schmops– right Jenn? Thanks for another fantastic shoot!!

the lerh family
Is she or is she not the prettiest little christmas baby you have ever seen? Last time I photographed her she was brand new (less than 2 weeks old) and now just look at her- sitting up, crawling, smiling- all of it! I think they are all going to have the merriest of christmases!

the schu family
A few families posts got lost in the holiday madness shuffle so I’m getting around to posting them now. And this one was way too good to miss out on!
Tea, anyone?
Adore this little guy’s personality! And him being a lover of Mickey doesn’t hurt much either. 
This one has been on the move since she was born. I think she started walking at 9months or so. 
I could photograph her allllll day. 
One of my most favorite family pictures, ever. 
Omg, love the tutu with the rainboots. Couldn’t be better. 
And btw, the “park” where we took all these great shots? Yeah, that’s their backyard.
