Be back soon (I hope)
For those of you who dont follow me on Facebook or instagram, my son Patrick has been in the hospital since last night. It was thought he has appendicitis but now they are thinking probably not, but that he is very dehydrated from baseball in Delaware in 9000 degree heat all weekend with the stomach virus he had for 2 weeks still remaining or kicked back up. Or something. We’re here again tonight so they can make sure he’s keeping food down and his appendicitis symptoms don’t get worse (if they do, it’s surgery) and they have him on Iv fluids.
So since we’ve been away since Thursday in rehoboth beach for their tournament and we came to the hospital within hours of coming back from the trip I am woefully behind on work. If you are waiting for your order, your gallery, or we have a session this week (I have emailed or messages all of you who are scheduled for the week already) please be patient. I can’t do much from the hospital and we’ve gotten 5 hrs of sleep in the last 34 hours so I’m fairly worthless. Thanks for hanging in there with me and I’ll get back to work as soon as I can. Any good thoughts you can send our way are greatly appreciated.

the demi family
After seeing them two summers ago for an extended family session, this family moved to Ohio so I was very excited that mom (who I went to high school with) got in touch letting me know they would be in town for a little while and wanted to book a session. It was awesome catching up (although since I post so much on Facebook, there wasn’t much she didn’t already know about me, so we talked mostly about her move- all good with me!) and although we had a not so great weather day with tons of wind, we fit in the shoot just before the first raindrops fell on the car on the way home. I just quickly looked back at their session two years ago and am completely blown away by how big the kids got, especially the boys.
This one has enough personality packed in for about 6 people.
Maura, you are defying the years! Gorgeous!

update: bsquared fall calendar 2013 available 7/24
Hi all! Hope you are enjoying your summer a lot. I feel like I wait all year for the 3 months where I can go to the beach and pool and be somewhat lazy. It’s awfully nice to do all of that (but really, the heat is a little much. just 10 degrees cooler would be lovely) and to start thinking about the fall is like a total travesty. But business is business so I guess it’s time to at least start kinda thinking about it. Boo.
To that end, the bsquared fall calendar for sessions September thru November will be posted and open for booking starting July 24th. I will have weekend dates listed for both full and mini sessions and will have some limited weekday availability as well. I don’t generally list weekday dates (unless it’s a school holiday and I’m doing mini’s all day) because I never know what my schedule will look like until school starts, and sometimes not even then! So if you’re in the market for a weekday session, please feel free to email me and we’ll see what we can work out as the fall gets underway.
And because you know I can’t/won’t post without a picture, here’s the moon a few days before the “super moon” taken from my office window while editing. I missed the actual super moon, but thought this moon was still pretty cool. And I didn’t have to leave my chair.

robby’s christening
Getting closer to being caught up, but not quite there yet. Robby (who’s newborn session I did a few months ago) was christened a few weeks back at St Raymond and then celebrated with a big party back at his parents house. It was a lovely, but really hot, day and for the short time I was there it looked like everyone was having a great day, even Robby!
I love his chubby cheeks.
Not thrilled w the anointing process, and poor big sister Natalie looks worried. He was fine within seconds and went right back to sleep.
The big moment. Which he slept thru. 
Now that’s one happy, blessed baby!
Yes, this is their backyard. The whole thing. Looks like an amusement park, right? So much of it (or possibly all of it) was destroyed during Sandy with the water in the river coming up so high it flooded their house too. But it’s gorgeous and perfect again after a ton of hard work. 
Dad HATES getting his picture taken. This was perhaps the only time in my history of knowing this family that I didn’t have to remind him to smile. Knowing nothing about workshops myself even I could tell this one is beyond amazing. I love his neatness and organization. 
There’s a fire pit under that table. 
Cousins.
Besties. 
One of the owners of my dog I no longer own. Adorbs.
I’m sure you remember this handsome boy from his christening and party.
The next two pictures weren’t set up, but are so perfect. Besties and besties- the mothers to the daughters.

chris’s senior session
The last of my four senior session models. So sad to be finishing them up and really hoping we can get some more seniors to book with bsquared next year- I absolutely love doing them!! Chris was technically a junior at the time of the session but will be heading into his senior year at Valley Stream South in the fall. He’s a wrestler so we had to incorporate a little of that somehow (which was more challenging than you might think at a beach setting!)
The flies were vicious over in this area, but it was worth it. At least to me!
I may have to buy myself a pair of wrestling sneakers- they are so comfortable looking. Maybe good for weddings with my myriad of foot issues?
A little departure from my normal processing on this one, but thought it looked cool. 
Good luck next year Chris! (but enjoy your summer first!)
