This good looking bunch I know well. The dad is John’s ‘work wife’, his partner in their lawfirm. I did their oldest’s communion a few years back so you may remember them too. I can’t get over how big their youngest got and how much more chatty he was with me this year. So fun!

The oldest is a great kid and I liked him even more cause he was actually asking me to take his picture! When my boys get a hold of him this summer, I’m sure they’re going to put the quash on that real fast! Oh, and K? Loved the tie!

How you doin’?

The dad is the only other person I know in the world who is as unsmiley as John. He can even do the ‘laugh without smiling’ thing that John does. They are the perfect match. And tried as I did I could not get him to smile. Not once. He even laughed at one of my jokes, but without smiling. I love the shot where they are helping him smile. Really, it didn’t help. (I still don’t know if the man has teeth. I mean, I assume he does but cannot verify that from personal experience or anything.) The only thing that I have ever seen make him sorta smile is Timmy. And I had Timmy workin hard at the party to get him to laugh- it was close a few times. I think if I hadn’t had the camera, it might’ve worked.

The one on the right was as close as I got.

Lots of family and friends on hand to help celebrate J’s big day.

Thanks for inviting us (its always fun being the guest and the photographer!)- we had a great time!

Oh, deeeeeeeer. One of my most favorite bsquared clients and their youngest son’s communion with a rockin party to boot.

At a bunch of our past shoots, Mr. B wasn’t so thrilled with getting his picture taken. What a huge turnaround he made when the day was all about him! I dare say I think he actually liked it? Maybe, or he was putting on a good show for me. Either way is great- as long as I get my pictures.

Lots of family and friends on hand to help B celebrate his day- many of whom I have no doubt you blog stalkers will recognize from their own shoots.

BFF’s (the boy in the blue shirt- his mom is my pilates trainer!)

Da boyz.

And an awesome party on the water in Freeport to round out the day. With a magician even. (always a great idea to have some entertainment for the kiddos so the adults can enjoy an adult beverage or two in relative peace!)

J, you are fabulous. And M- you are so go with the flow (and fabulous too). Love working with you guys.

Another blog post=another communion! This weekend coming up will be my last weekend shooting communions this year, but the blog posts will keep on coming (6 more to edit/blog and then another 4 to shoot this weekend), hope you are enjoying them all (and if you are not, just hang in there. Among the shoots to edit are still a bunch of families, the destination wedding in Jamaica, and some personal pictures here and there).

My second time taking pictures for this family and I thoroughly enjoy their 3 boys (hmmm….I wonder why).  We were in trees, in chairs, eating ice and chocolate chip cereal, hanging out with mom & dad, and having lots of fun.

Can’t forget the other family member. Woof.

I was so thrilled to get some smiles out of this little one. The last shoot I couldn’t get a one. That all changed- I must have worked on my jokes!!

Thank you all for a fun (and hot) morning. Hope your party was wonderful, J.

Two things: If you are a RVC Schools parent, please make sure you go out and VOTE YES today!!! And two, please excuse the brief narrative. I’m 15 shoots behind in editing and have another 10 shoots scheduled this week/weekend. I need every minute I can get to edit!

Another bsquared communion shoot with clients you’ll probably recognize from previous shoots. I had the pleasure of capturing their oldest’s special day. She was lovely and beautiful, as was the rest of the family.

I felt so terrible for the littlest girl who was suffering horribly from allergies. I took out as much ‘red’ from her face as I could, hope the Benadryl did the rest.

Great seeing you all again and I hope the party was a huge, fun success!

My second communion shoot for this family, who I always enjoy photographing. This was a very early morning shoot for me (8:30am) because they had the first mass of the day. I was just impressed that they were all up and 100% ready when I arrived!!

Handsome boys.

This was my first time meeting their doggy who was very good and quite photogenic herself!

And M? You looked wonderful!! Hot mama alert!

Thanks boys for being so good and easy for me, especially on our early morning shoot.
