This is one of those “I can’t believe it’s you” stories. Mom and I were really good friends back in elementary school (K-3rd grade until I moved) and I saw her name on another completely unrelated friend’s Facebook page. So I messaged her…and well, the rest is photographic history.

I tried to find a picture of she and I from way back in the day, but the photo album is at my mom’s somewhere and I couldn’t find it in time to post the pictures. So if I do dig it up, I’ll post it in January when things calm down.

Her girls are the cutest, most outgoing, sweet, polite kids. Like ever. I loved every minute of taking their pictures. They were game for everything and anything I suggested and were just plain old fun!

Not to mention gorgeous. All 3 of them.

Loved all the colors and textures during this shoot. They just made me happy.

It was the crazy windiest day that day and everyone’s hair was going everywhere. I tried to keep us out of the wind, but sometimes it just didn’t work out. Still made the pix look good though!

Thanks H for messaging me back on FB. So glad to renew our friendship from Plaza Elementary! Looking forward to lots more fun times ahead!!

Please excuse the fact that I’m a little short on words today. Went out last night for dinner with my friend and then met some more friends at a bar to see ‘my’ band. Have a shoot this morning and then a jammed packed day with the boys, and then a family wedding (attending, not shooting) upstate tonight. Just trying to get everyone’s pictures on the blog asap. And this family has a lot of pictures to blog.

This very sweet family met me at a local park for a photoshoot with a built in picnic. Mom brought the whole awesome set up, including homemade lemonade, homemade chocolate lollipops (why there was not one with a B on it, I’m not sure), and a whole spread of stuff. It was so great and they look right out of a magazine. Dontcha think?

Just have to throw out a special nod to dad who not only was fasting for the holiday that day, but had a terrible sinus infection on top of not eating. He was a real trooper and stuck it out for the shoot. Go dad!

Thanks again, schn family. I had a great time (and maybe next time you’ll have a chocolate lollipop for me too. I’ll give you extra pictures for free…)

Such a put together family.

Not only is mom a teacher at the big boys school, but her little girl and Timmy were in the same nursery school class last year and were great friends. They still go to the same school, but different classes this year. But we always get a great big HELLO from little Miss A in the hallways.

She’s seriously the cutest littlest pip.

The funniest thing is that later in the day of their shoot, I did a shoot for one of mom’s students. I told her so, and I think it freaked her out (the student, not the teacher) a little.

Had a great time with you as always. To see all of the images from our session, please click HERE.

While I shot this family recently in the park, they were looking for a beach shoot to end the season with.

I’m finding we have limited time with this little boy, so I’ve learned to work fast around him.

Like really fast!

Mom and Dad are so good looking!

One of Mr. C’s  nicknames is apparently Donald (as in Trump) because of the wild hair. The wind helped out with this one.

Great seeing you as always. Glad we had a happier session this time around!

My second time doing a shoot for the ‘bill’ family, and my first time meeting their newest addition.

From what Mom said the baby is the happiest, easiest, smiliest baby in the world. Unfortunately, that’s not the way the shoot went. The poor little girl was teething up a storm (and drooling like there was no tommorrow) and just didn’t feel well at all. Couldn’t coax a smile out of her no matter what tricks I tried.

Ends up that mom emailed me the next day to tell me the poor baby had a 102 fever. So at least I know it wasn’t me that she didn’t like!

I was so happy to see Grandma & Grandpa participating in the shoot again. They are such fun and the kids really enjoy having them around (both the adult kids and small kids!)

The biggest girl was as energetic and pretty as I remember from last year. Hard to catch her, but when you do- it’s so worth it!!

Great seeing you again! Hope everyone is feeling better by now!
