arrrgh.
Had some fun with Timmy and my lens baby composer at the beach a few months ago (only got to edit the photos recently). Many thanks to Zoe for the inspiration, crewcuts for the clothes and Brett for the sewing of the cape on very short notice! Oh, and Timmy for the fun!

the most miserable mummy {aka halloween 2011}
Finally did a super quick edit of the Halloween photos. For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you know that Timmy cried for the entire parade at his school. Still don’t really know why. Maybe because he didn’t like his costume anymore. Maybe cause he doesn’t like being the center of attention (but mind you the whole school marches in the parade so no one would’ve been really looking at him anyway!) Who knows? But when he came out of school after the parade and party, he was nothing but smiles. I was relived and ready to strangulate the kid all at once.
Here’s the most miserable mummy.
During the parade:
Aunt Heidi came along to watch the parade too.
Some of my friends kids in their (very adorable) costumes
Timmy’s friend Liam who we were going to go TOT’ing with but his sister was under the weather so we just went on our own.
And the most merry mummy who came out for the rest of the day. The face on the right is him ‘being dead’. 
And even deader.
No Halloween would be complete without a trip to the ‘scary house’. 
Fits right in with all the zombie apocalypse stuff as of late.
Whenever I look at the picture on the right, Thriller starts playing in my head. 
Love some evil clowns. Nightmares for months!
And cause I couldn’t leave you with the scary stuff last, here’s some more of Timmy. 
And before you ask why there are no pictures of Jack & Patrick, please note that they were at football practice until 5:20pm, didn’t go trick or treating and didn’t want to get dressed up this year. Sniff. -

This year the boys are playing on a NJBL (national junior baseball league) travel team and loving every minute. So yes, that means that they are playing on two baseball teams and one football team. We’re a little busy!
After a rough start to the season, they’ve been winning some games and getting to be much more of a team. Even the losses in the beginning weren’t so terrible score wise, but winning is always so much more fun, right? After the parents asked me at the last game if the pictures from the game the week before didn’t come out good, I figured it was (past) time to get them edited and posted. So here are some from their games vs. Lynbrook & vs. Franklin Square.
Celebrating their first win against Lynbrook.
And the game against Franklin Square:
And celebrating another win!
We’ll be traveling to Cooperstown next summer for the boys to play up there. Very exciting for them!! And I’ll be there with my camera for sure.I’m off to Central Park today for a full day of sessions. Lots more client’s sessions coming to the blog this week…stay tuned!

6 for Saturday {including a little bsquared business}
First, the business stuff:
1. Any of my clients who are interested in purchasing Organic Bloom framing- they are taking about 4 weeks from order to delivery so if you are looking for the frames to be here in time for the holidays (to decorate your house with all your fabulous bsquared images in super cool frames so your holiday guests can ooooh and aaaahhh over them. or to give as awesome gifts!) you should probably place your orders soon. I’m happy to come over and help measure your walls, lay out your galleries and help choose images and frame colors. You know, in my free time!
2. Holiday card orders have come in from a few bsquared clients and are starting to arrive from my printer. And they are looking fabulous! The earlier you order your cards, the sooner you can have one more thing checked off your holiday to do list!!
I will be accepting holiday card orders thru Friday, December 9th for guaranteed holiday delivery. If you order after December 9th, there will be an additional charge for expediting your order. No orders will be accepted after December 16th. Sorry, no exceptions. (**if you have one of the later November bsquared sessions and your gallery isn’t ready to view by December 9th there will be no additional charge to expedite your order and you’ll still have your cards in time for the holidays.)You can find the bsquared holiday card collection by clicking on the b2 products link in the menu bar above.
3. Because I don’t have quite enough on my plate this time of year, I’m working on lots of changes for bsquared photography in 2012. I can’t wait to share everything with you! Watch out for new announcements in December and January.
4. It’s been a very ummm….interesting? month around here with the big boys. We’ve got quite the streak of losses and I’m hemorrhaging money. In the last month they’ve:
lost a cell phone (which I found 3 weeks later after ordering the replacement- of course- but returned the replacement and got my $ back),
lost a kindle (and the person who then took said kindle downloaded the Bible on it. Irony, much? My uncle said they must have been from the church of the 9 commandments. Whoever has it now has a very expensive piece of plastic that does nothing. We deactivated it so nothing shows up on the screen, nothing can be read or purchased. How’s that working out for you?)
dropped a macbook (which then needed it’s screen replaced)
dropped a stapler on my macbook pro and killed the entire harddrive. dead. (it was burning a disc and uploading pictures when that happened so with all the moving parts inside moving it killed everything. and wiped out all of my quickbooks accounting from Jan 1- now. I did back it up but only until mid April so I spent the better part of 2 days this week re-entering all my accounting. Not fun. Especially not in October when I’m already going crazy with busy season. I didn’t lose anything else on it really- everything else is backed up elsewhere. It’s just a ginormous pain in the ass replacing all of it. And the $700 I had to pay for the 2 computers to be fixed was not a thrill either.)
lost ONE sneaker. or it was stolen. But seriously- wtf are you going to do with ONE sneaker?
5. Timmy and I got our flu shots earlier this week (J&P got theirs last week) and this year he only cried for 5 minutes. Which was a vast improvement over last year’s HOUR of hysterics. Literally one hour of hysterical screaming AFTER the shot was over. The kid was pissssssed. This year was much better and he got chocolate lollipops as a reward for being brave. Maybe next year there will be no tears? We also hit Timmy’s BFF Jack’s house last weekend for his JDRF walk party. The kid who cannot stand needles and blood and the kid who is diabetic are BFF’s. Life’s funny like that.
6. Finally some baseball little league photos from the last few weeks. This was the third of a triple header day for the boys- they’ve been playing SO hard this year. That’s a really good thing.
The boys friend Stephen was pitching a few innings for the opposing team, so I caught a few of him for his mom. 
Timmy had the best seat in the house. 
Hope everyone has a great Saturday. I’m off to photograph my oldest friends daughter’s Bat Mitzvah today. How did we get so old?!

super sports sunday
It is sports central around here this year. The boys started playing football for the middle school team, and are playing on two baseball teams- a Little League town team and a NJBL travel team. So you can imagine the schedule lately. They have football practice every day from 3-5, a football game 1x a week, a LL weekday evening game, a LL weekend game and a travel team double header every Sunday. And somewhere in there they have religion weekly and homework every night. There are some days that they get home from football practice with barely enough time to change into baseball uniforms, shove down some dinner and get to the field for a baseball game. Throw in orthodontist and doctors appointments that have been rescheduled no less than 4x each, and you can see why I’m losing it. So far, they’ve been great about all of it (because they really want to play- all of it!), not complaining and getting themselves packed up the night before. The deal was that if grades start to slip at all, they have to give up something. But so far, so good.
So here’s some of their football scrimmage this past week. They have their first game on Tuesday. Jack isn’t able to play quite yet (and yes, he is so bummed) because of the oral surgery he had recently he missed a bunch of practices and he has to have a certain amount of practice time in before he can start playing in games and scrimmages. But they are both playing at Defensive Tackle and Patrick is loving it so far!! The first scrimmage was against Hempstead and the 2 guys up against Patrick were right out of the movie The Blind Side. Huge. Really huge. Like over 6 feet and 200+ huge. But he lived to play again another day.
Omg, my son looks like a football player!
Tommy.
A football version of American Gothic?
No, I don’t know why he has his water bottle on his head. 
My favorite. Can’t wait until they are both playing!!
And some baseball from yesterday’s LL game. Where Uncle That Guy is the manager and John is a coach. Keepin it all in the family.
Cousin Brendan at catcher. Timmy chillin in the dugout. 
And I’m off to a 5 shoot day with hopefully, finally good weather. See you all here tomorrow with a whole new week of client sessions.
