    the fara family

    This great little family came to me thru my good friend Jen, and I’m so glad they did. They were gifted with a bsquared session and mom decided to put it to good use for their twin girls’ first birthday.

    Really, how cute are these girls?? Yes, identical. Yes, delicious.

    We really wore the poor things out in our hour of shooting and they were SO ready for a nap by the end. After they were down, mom and I had a nice little twin chat for a bit.

    Suffice it to say, they are truly very blessed. And yes, I tried to get mom & dad to participate but they promised they would next time. I’m holding you to it, J!!!

    the rest from Central Park (& what I was going to write)

    Ok, so I had all these plans to write lots when posting these pictures. But I had to take some allergy medicine tonight cause I was milliseconds from scratching my eyeballs out of my skull so I’m a little (pleasantly) floaty, so the long narrative will have to be postponed.

    Really, who actually reads my posts anyway. You’re all just here for the pictures, right?

    I was going to say how good the big boys were this day- totally go with the flow and easy and just plain fun. And I was going to write how Timmy was such a total pill for most of the day. Which is really not like him, but we’re all entitled to a day like that now and then. And then I was going to write how I don’t get it why they all can’t be good on the SAME day.

    And then last I was going to write about what excellent good brothers the big boys are to Timmy. Always looking out for him and helping him. They love him and he ADORES them.

    the beyr baby

    More importantly, the newest member of the Beyrer family. And the 7th boy out of 7 grandchildren/cousins.

    And most importantly….gorgeous, sweet and loved already. And the full head of hair?? OMG…too cute!!

    The baby is the spitting image of his daddy. This is SO a Joe face.

    Gail was surprised by the grumpy face. I told her she’d better get used to it… he is a Beyrer afterall!!

    The original baby (Jack the rescued Greyhound) and the Uncle. Gives some perspective on how teeny tiny he really is, huh?

    web1114

    Thanks Joe and Gail for the fun hour and letting me take lots of pictures. He was fantastic. And I FINALLY got my sleeping squished up baby!!!!

    the roma family

    Hardly even know where to start, cause there’s just so much I want to say about this fantastic, incredible family.

    So, we first met when the big boys started Kindergarten. The middle daughter, C is a number of years older than the boys and took them under her wing at school. They loved her (and so did I) and she was so great with them. C and I started talking and we found out that we are both sleep away campers and I went to a neighboring camp to hers. Then we found out that she and the boys share the same birthday. And THEN we found out that her mom’s cousin was in my bunk at camp!!!! (waving: Hi Leslie! And by the way, Leslie was our bunk’s jacks champion. She rocked those fancies.) So since then C has moved up to Middle School and we don’t see her as often, but we are always happy to see her when she’s up at school picking up her little sister. Oh, and she’s an incredible soccer player on top of everything else.

    Mom is such a great person. And I’m not saying that only because she sends me messages on FB all the time about how much she loves the blog! She kept saying that she couldn’t wait to book a shoot once she had an occassion. Well, the occassion arrived like the next day after she wrote that message for the 2nd or 3rd time. Mom is running for a public office in our town and needs some headshots for publicity stuff as well as family shots for her campaign. So we booked a last minute shoot between her kids games and knocked it right out.

    This family is just happy to be together and it shows in every picture. They are always laughing and teasing and just having FUN! There are some ‘standard, posey’ family shots as well, but my favorites are the fun, laughing ones.

    Their oldest daughter is going to an Ivy League college in the fall (smart and gorgeous). And the littlest daughter is a dancer of epic proportions! I’m not even kidding- her mom posted a video on YouTube of her recital and all I could say after watching it was– man, that girl can DANCE.

    And not to leave Dad out…what a fun and funny guy! And you can tell, a great daddy!! Dosen’t he have such a nice face?? Like the kind of person you feel at home with immediately?
