    photo a day- day 7

    February 7, 2014 /

    Now THIS is a happy birthday boy! Happy 9th birthday Timmy- couldn’t imagine life without you! Love you sooooooo much! Let the ‘birthday vegetable’ commence!

    Yes, I spelled out his name in Legos for a birthday surprise this morning. And it is a long standing family tradition to have a candle in each meal on your actual birthday, so a candle in the cheerios it is, and I sent his bagel in with a candle in it for lunch too. Dinner out tonight, a long weekend sleepover with his best friend and his movie birthday party next week. See, birthday vegetable.

    hakka’s suprise birthday

    March 7, 2013 /

    Yeah, I’m still in last summer with personal pictures. Well, at least they look bright and cheery compared to brown & grey of everything NY in the winter. I think I have that seasonal affective disorder. Or something.

    Anyway, my mom planned a big surprise birthday for Ken over the summer, and it was almost a close call. Ken had been in and out of the hospital before his party with sepsis but was finally (thank god) well enough to get out and stay out. And he was really surprised! They booked him a suite at the LI Ducks for the evening. And I decided that that isn’t a bad way to watch baseball. Cause you don’t actually have to watch baseball at all.

    timmy’s 8th birthday vegetable

    February 27, 2013 /

    For those of you who don’t know- there’s pretty much always a weeklong birthday festival in this house for the kids birthdays. And when Timmy was really little it sounded like “vegetable” instead of “festival”. So it stuck.

    Timmy’s party this year was a small one- just him and 6 friends (along with us, his big brothers and the dads of most of the kids attending) to the Islanders game. Took most of the shots with the little camera- just didn’t want to lug the big guns.

    Someone’s a little excited, no?The gang of lunatics.Its also a tradition to have a candle in every meal of your birthday. Including the ice cream he had for breakfast. Yup, breakfast.

    Just can’t believe my little guy is now 8. Sigh.

    ali’s beach birthday

    January 24, 2013 /

    Yeah, so this was like July. I’m aware how lame it is that I am this far behind in editing and posting personal pictures. Ali, an excellent bsquared assistant and babysitter celebrated her 21st birthday this past summer at the Ocean Club with lots of familiar faces. For my photografriends out there, all pictures taken with the Fuji x100. Gotta use that camera more often.

    I just did their newborn baby boy’s shoot this past weekend…They now own my puppy…You’ll recognize them from their newborn and holiday shoots…Grandparents…Celebrating the birthday girl. Moonrise/sunset.
    Stay tuned for lots ore summer pictures. And fall. And maybe even Spring. Well, at least the pictures remind us that it won’t always be below 20 degrees in New York.
