disney 2010
So, here’s a recap of our trip in pictures and video. And just a little narrative (because it’s 2am when I’m writing this post and the boys were horrendous today and I’m worn OUT).
We went on Big Thunder about 12 times over the course of our week’s trip. Timmy was finally tall enough to go on, and he LOVED it. Really, really loved it. Like laughed hysterically the whole time (see the video).
Our friends from town ended up going to Disney on the same flight down, staying at the same hotel (Wilderness Lodge, although we were at the Villas), same parks on same days (not all the time, but often) and flew home the same day (but on different flights). All completely unplanned and undiscussed until like a week before when we realized we had the same trip. How fun! We texted all the time the whole week and kept running into eachother which just made me happy!
YYou would not believe me if I told you the huge hubub this pink pirate bandana caused with the boys. They did not like it. Not one little bit. But of course that only egged John to wear it all the more.
Jack is obsessed with Canada. Totally obsessed.
This video is definitely my favorite, favorite out of the 3 I made from Disney. So much fun!! And by the way, do you have any idea how difficult it is to film while riding a roller coaster backward?
Thanks for watching! Would love to hear from you all to see what you think about the video. Leave me a comment if you feel like it.

our shoot
Had to squeeze it in, but we did do a shoot for us this year. And believe it or not, I was actually in it. Needed my hair highlighted bad, so please try to ignore the black, yellow and grey mess that’s on my head. Other than that, it was so good to actually be in some pictures.
A big thank you to my friend Beth who came along with us and shot all of the pictures with me in them.
And I’m not going to go into how totally BAD my children were for this shoot. So freakin bad. So freakin bad that they were punished for three weeks immediately following the shoot. (there were a few things besides the shoot that lead up to the punishment, but the shoot behavior was the cherry on the cake of my day. week. month.) I know, you look at the pictures and watch the video and say that they were perfect. But John, Jerry (the videographer) and Beth all know the truth cause they were there. I tried to be calm but lost it after the first 15 or so ‘incidents’. We lost the light so fast but I did manage to still get some fairly decent ones in. In spite of them.
I had so much fun styling the boys for the shoot and shopping for all their outfits. It’s almost always sweatpants and some kind of jersey or sports related Tshirt, or a character shirt. It was so nice seeing them in ‘real’ clothes. And the best part? They liked them too and have worn them a few times since. Money well spent.
Here’s our video, too. Thanks, Jerry, for a great job and for not showing me losing my mind with my very misbehaved children!!

Happy New Year to everyone! We watched the ball drop with Grandpa Ken and John fast asleep and Jack, Patrick and even Timmy staying up til well after. Too funny! Then out to the balcony from the 20th floor to watch hundreds of different fireworks all over south Florida. We started the New Year with tons of giggles. Hope that sets a high standard of laughter for the rest of the year.
And we’re off to the ‘left coast’ of Florida for 2 days. Going to do a shoot for a high school friend and his family and getting in a visit to Ft. Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands. I’ve never been there before and am really looking forward to it all. Don’t worry, there will still be blog posts while we’re on our adventure. Psyched for my first shoot of 2010.

the baut family
My first blog post from the new Mac. Getting used to it, slowly. Technology is a blessing and a curse. Seriously.
Anyway, had a great time photographing this blondie family with mom and dad who are originally from Texas. And although there were quite a few tears throughout the shoot,(it was a late night for the kids the night before) we came away with some great shots anyway.
And a great video, too! Make sure your sound is on.

the schw family
Grandma and Grandpa are good friends of ours (and Grandma is a loyal blog stalker as well). I was so happy when she asked me to take pictures of her WHOLE family and I couldn’t wait to do it!
We had a great time taking all the pictures and even threw in a ‘video your shoot’ with Jerry.
Still editing other shoots, so I’m going to let the pictures and the video do the rest of the work!
Thanks so much for all the fun K and company! I loved photographing all of you!!
Make sure you have your sound on…

the sand family {with ‘video your shoot’ add on}
My second time shooting this family; I went to school (elementary and on) with mom. Our first ‘shoot’ was her middle son’s 1st Communion last spring. It was really good to see everyone again, this time in a more relaxed playful setting.
Man, those are some good looking kids!!
Mom & Dad aren’t bad themselves…
Since I’m late to posting today, I’m going to let the pictures and video do the talking for themselves.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and the video, T!
Good song on the video, make sure your sound is on.
