    The Turn’s Big Show @ Madison Hall

    What to say about the big show?

    Awesomeness. That about sums the whole thing up!

    Brian and Pat rocked it hard the whole night, played their hearts out and kept everyone more than entertained. With help from Chris on drums and Brian on bass, they were unstoppable.

    They sounded great (and looked great too). And I think when the time comes that they are playing bigger venues with bigger crowds, they will be more than ready. They were so at ease up there- so professional!

    I like to think that they are singing to me (not to my camera for a good picture, but actually to ME). So, I’m just going to go with that. The Turn sings to me. Cause they love me. I like my delusional world- don’t mess with it.

    Some of the other biggest Turn fans/friends. And a big thank you to Heather who took one of my cameras, stood up on the bar and shot a few from a different angle (listen, I’m turning 40 this year. My days of standing on a bar have long since passed.)

    “General” George Fullan- the Turn’s producer. He’s awesome!

    Of course, no singing shoot of The Turn would be complete without my shot of Brian screaming during Sex on Fire (and as a side note, that is Timmy’s favorite song. Vastly innapropriate but too funny. He does have good taste in music for a 4 year old. And Christiana is his favorite Turn song.) It’s very difficult dancing while taking pictures. Just glad they came out!

    Being the “Turn Mommy”, I just want to say again how really proud I am of them. Great people, great musicians. Can’t wait for the next show!!

    Meet the wrig family…

    Mom found me thru a neighbor/friend who was a past bsquared client. She has been a loyal blog stalker since! (you know I love that!). We actually got to meet in person previous to our shoot as Mom was looking for some photography lessons. We hit it off immediately and it made me look forward to our shoot even more.

    Then I met their gorgeous little girl. She was just perfection and a joy to photograph. Mom said she was concerned as little Miss A said “NO PICTURES” before I got there…but I think we won eachother over within the first few minutes and it was all good from there on out.

    Dad has this great old car in the garage that he asked if we could shoot some with. Uhhhh…yeah! You know I was all over that! We had some nice “old car” chat as we discussed the old pick up truck I want so badly.

    Some daddy love. He’s utterly devoted to his sweet girl.

    web37

    A few outfit changes, including some traditional wear from her birth country. It was work to get those pigtails in, but sooo worth it!

    web127

    Some Mamalove. Had to make sure to get some extra shots of Mom since like me, she is always behind the camera.

    web143

    Gotta have some feet. And a little rockin out with the Barbie guitar of course.

    It was a pleasure as I knew it would be. Hope you enjoy the pictures. See you for our next photo lesson soon!!

    mommy? mommy? mommy? mommy?

    One of THOSE days…you mommies know exactly what I mean. Someone needs something every. single. minute. of the day and then they don’t listen and you get a lot of that blank stare with the mouth agape thing going on.  And they all started back at school today so this shouldn’t really be an issue, but it sure is.

    I asked if the world tour for the band starts…like um–NOW?! Cause I woulda hopped my fat ass on the tour bus in less time than you can say…Mommy?

    In other (good) news, my biopsy results came back and I do NOT have skin cancer. Everything was fine and nothing. Fewf- as the boys would say. But I have to keep this stupid bandaid on for another 2 days.  And it’s not even a fun bandaid like Hello Kitty or something.  Need some bandaid couture.

    Working on editing the Turn show pictures still, and then two client shoots next. So stay tuned for all of those.

    Here are a few more from last weeks adventure to Central Park. I have a ton, so they will be appearing on the blog over a few days. Need to see some spring shots as today it’s monsooning and about 40 degrees. I’ve reverted to wearing my coat around the house again. Where the hell is spring and why can it not be here for more than 2 days at a time!!!????

    Saw this bride & groom posing for portraits and had to grab a shot myself.

    Ok, so the Chrysler Building is not in Central Park. But it’s my most favorite in NYC.web241

    the cald family

    This shoot was the perfect way to jump back into busy season. The parents were super nice and accomodating (and just slightly photogenic) and the kids…oh, the kids. Gorgeous, sparkly-eyed, sweet as the day is long, and so, so, so well behaved! Loved them all!!

    web67

    I could go on and on about this amazing family, but I think I’ll let the pictures do the talking for me.

    a superfast (rockin) sneakpeek

    B and Pat, this is for you….

    web119

    Don’t they LOOK like total rock stars??!!

    The show was awesome and everyone had a blast! The band sounded incredible and had lots of (screaming) fans.  Lots more recap on the show soon.

    I took over 900 pictures so there’s a lot to go thru and edit. Be patient, the rest are on their way as soon as I can.
