    a tiny sneak peek (garrett & susan)

    Remember how I said I was so behind? Well, this little sneak peek is from Garrett and Susan’s wedding back at the end of May that I’m not even close to done editing yet. Saw them again today for a very special shoot and I know they really wanted a few pictures to show everyone when they went back to work tommorrow.

    So here you go..a few picked at random. More to come soon. Really.

    The beautiful, radiant bride.

    Awesome boquets. Love how none are exactly alike but all of them go so well together.

  • i'm with the band

    the turn’s new/latest gigs & digs

    Caught up with the band again recently. And although the lighting was awful(but the music was great), I managed a few good ones anyway.

    We’ve been working hard on some new cards for upcoming shows and here’s what we’ve come up with to date. I’m really digging the whole graphic design thing! The shows should be awesome and everyone should go.

    And a poster that Brian requested for Pat’s upcoming birthday present that I put together. Both Pat and Brian (with his brother Eric) have moved into new apartments within the last few hours and weeks. Pat in NYC a few weeks ago, and Brian & Eric in LIC yesterday. We all thought the 36×24″ poster (fully framed and everything) would make a really good addition to some blank walls! Congrats on your new digs, guys! Can’t wait for the next full on photoshoot with some city skyline!

    5 for friday + rachel’s confirmation

    1. I haven’t been to bed before 2:30am this whole week so far. That is not expected to change anytime soon. I’m not complaining…I’m just sayin.

    2. It seems as if I’m getting at least one referral (on average) per shoot that I do. Which is so awesomely cool. My little “I-didn’t-mean-to-start-a-business-and-still-have-no-business-plan” venture is really taking off, even when I thought it peaked last year! Apparently not.  See #1 above.

    3. Timmy finished up school yesterday and the big boys have 2 more weeks to go. Since Timmy’s done there will be no more editing during the day. See #1 above again, and add on at least an hour. I do have pictures of the boys spring concert and of Timmy’s last day. Don’t think I’m getting to those til next Friday though.

    4. I am so far behind in editing it’s crazy. That leads to being behind in blog posting too. I know I have several clients anxiously awaiting their pictures.  I’m hurrying as much as I can (see #1 above). Really, I am. Maybe I just won’t sleep at all. Ever.

    5. Looking really forward to going out with the playgroup girls for dinner tonight! Should be so fun. And filled with mongolian beef….mmmmmmmm. One night off the diet.

    And finally, Rachel’s confirmation pictures. Heidi, you can stop textingemailingfacebooking me about them now! 🙂

    My ‘first son’ Adam. He is now taller than me. How did that happen? Plus the fact that he is now an Ocean Life Guard- where did the time go??

    Erica is a real pip (always was). And this is the reaction I got when I asked the boys to stand next to her and put their arms around her for the picture. Their first picture with another baby was with Erica when the boys were about 1 month old and Erica was 2 months old. I guess that’s probably the last one where they will not make these faces.

    All the kids got along and played so nicely. Their backyard is fantastic and gorgeous, with beautiful light streaming in and sun reflecting back off the windows of the house. Niiiice! And a little hammock action is always good for some laughs.

    Glad to see that Joe and Heidi annoy all of ‘their kids’ equally. This is “Rachel’s brother from another mother”. Poor kid. But I don’t have too much sympathy since Heidi chases down my boys every time she sees them (especially coming out of religion) to give them lots of kisses. Patrick resigned himself to “take it like a man” at the party since he knew there was no escape.

    The confirmation girl herself. With her friends. They are soooooo 13. And when she wouldn’t listen to me I threatened her with getting JohnnyB to come out and sing to her in front of all her friends and party guests. She listened from then on.

    the mcga communion

    Met this very nice, new to bsquared photography family for some communion pictures for their second son. The 5 kids (ok, well 4 kids and one baby and I kept saying 4 kids. The baby was so good and quiet, I kept forgetting she was there!) were so nice and polite and just good kids which are always a pleasure to work with, especially when there are so many of them and only one of me. And where did they go when it wasn’t their “turn” with me? To read a book. Awesome!

    So it wasn’t actually the communion the day of the shoot, but we pretended it was. Gotta get those pictures in where you can.

    The biggest brother. We discussed good books for boys who are 10 years old and up. Got some new titles we’re going to try this summer. Thanks, J.

    The littlest brother who has a little mischief in him somewhere I think. Just look at that face!

    This little one was just begging me to take her picture at every turn. How could I not with a sweet little face like that?

    Got some great shots of the new baby too, who all her siblings are more than enamored with.

    You don’t want to know what mom was doing behind me to get the kids to laugh like this. But, you do what you have to do to get a shot like this!
