another weekend come & gone

 

Man, time is really flying lately. I guess working every weekend makes the time go even faster. The next few weekends are chock full of shoots, but I am going to TRY to take a break (and get some family/beach weekend time in) in late July into August. Gotta do it or else I’m going to go a little nuts.

The boys had baseball and soccer on Saturday. It was their very last soccer game ever! They are not playing next year, so it’s all done. It’s just not their sport. Too much running (especially for Jack) and they are just not aggressive on the field. Baseball is way more their favorite. They are always excited to play and really enjoy it. It was about 90+ degrees on Sunday and they were all sweating like crazy. Did an "after" team picture- those poor kids! Don’t they look SO hot? Their coach this year was just awesome- she’s such a supportive person and so positive. So great, and that’s the part I’ll miss. Timmy was red and cute and got a spongebob icecream which he proceeded to drip all over my pants and then decided he didn’t like it anyway. Super. (All of the soccer pictures except for the team picture) was taken with my crappy zoom lens. We don’t get along very well. So please excuse the quality of these images). 

 

John is a coach for the boys and during Saturday’s game, called Jack at out first and the boy was PISSED! Threw his batting helmet on the ground and everything. Timmy had fun cheering on his brothers, but mostly he likes wearing the batting helmet. When the boys team is up at bat he spends a great deal of that half inning pouting cause he can’t have a helmet. Got some cute shots of them running the bases after the game and some shots of my friends sons together too. Timmy and their little boy became fast friends during the game. The light under that tree is just YUM! (okay, I’m cheating a little here…the baseball pictures are all from Friday evening’s game cause I didn’t go to Saturday’s game as Timmy was napping it up. All of the baseball pictures were taken with my 85mm lens. The poor guy spends a lot of time just sitting in my camera bag as the 50mm is my most favorite, versitile lens. I forgot how much I LOVE the 85 in the right situation. Great color, focus, and bokeh (background blur) on that one. I must take him out to play more often.)

 

Saturday morning after running over to the country club to get our lockers for the pool for the season, I did a wedding-ish shoot. One of the families I did a shoot for last year, her dad was getting married. Kinda last minute, but I ended up shooting the bride & groom and the whole mass as well. (I was originally supposed to only shoot the kids while they were all dressed up). Hopefully you can see those later this week.  Just one tease…(and isn’t the bride just beautiful!)

 

Today was my friend Sharon’s son christening, so I was both an invited guest and a photographer. Another 90+ degree today (so pleasant) but it wasn’t so bad if you were inside in the air! Pictures on that later this week. Just depends how quickly I can edit! John took the boys to the beach and I’m sure that the weather was much better down there. They even went into the pool and ocean! It’s kinda early in the season for that, but when it’s that hot out, I don’t think that you care if the pool is icy. Here’s one preview…
