    royals vs island trees

    Like I said, this has become a communion/baseball blog. But thats okay, as long as the pictures are good, right? Another Royals game (at the Garden City complex) where the day started out all nice and warm and within a few innings (and the sun heading down) it was ffffffreezing again. Gotta just love springtime.

    my boy

    We’re celebrating Timmy’s first communion today! Plenty of pictures soon from special day and  his “vintage baseball” themed party to come. But here’s a really, really toofless one taken recently, although now he’s missing one more on the top. And he got a haircut so he’s not the shaggy dog anymore.

    ssms baseball vs. uniondale

    The SSMS first baseball game of the year, so of course I took pictures. And ironic isn’t it. That this blog is somehow turning into a baseball blog. When you all know how I feel about baseball…

    They didn’t win but played a good game. Jack had two great plays at first and a nice hit. I’m sure you’ll recognize a few of the faces from the Royals and from football last year.

    timmy’s magazine debut

    Last summer I took a photo workshop with the absolutely amazing Zoe Berkovic. We became friends (she really likes my cursing and zombie obsession!) and when she put a casting call out for a size 7 boy for an editorial shoot on Facebook, I barely restrained myself from jumping thru the computer to post “I HAVE A SIZE 7 BOY!!!!!”. Zoe was shooting an editorial spread for the brand new Teresa & Thomas magazine up in Big Indian, NY (which is like a 2.5hr + drive, but I would’ve driven to Portugal for a Zoe shoot!) and Timmy was accepted as a model for the shoot. He made his big debut in the 1st edition of the magazine last week and of course, I am in lurve with the photos.

    This was the start of the whole modeling thing for Timmy. He’s really liking it and we’re having fun.

    This was one of his full page spreads:

    The picture on the left was another in the magazine. I love his pissed off face in the one on the right- that was taken after the whispering picture when Zoe asked the boys to kiss the girl on the cheek. The left was another full page in the mag.
    And the rest are all pictures that didn’t make it into the magazine, but are fantastic nonetheless. Zoe even took a few of me with my boy. Love!And a few shots of the magazine itself. Taking pictures of pictures are never as good as the real thing but wanted to show you the magazine.

    This was the “story” he was in.

    A big thank you to Zoe for the use of the photos, and to Stacie Fitzgerald for styling Timmy for the session.
