linda’s 1st communion
Long time bsquared clients that I had the pleasure of photographing again this year for their youngest’s first communion. I’m sure you’ll recognize them from the blog (in the header, too!) and because they all have the winningest smiles around! I was so happy I was able to stay a little longer and capture a photo that was very important to the whole family (grandparents with all their grandchildren), that it didn’t rain, and that I have clients that have become friends! And for me, it was so great to see Dad and get some pictures with him for the first time in years (we often do their shoots on weekday afternoons or mornings because of the kids’ crazy sports/dance/social schedules and dad is always at work during those times). I was so happy to get a family photo for them this time!

catherine’s sweet 16
Not too long ago I posted Catherine’s pre-sweet 16 Tiffany & Co. shoot, and I’m so happy to finally share her sweet 16 party images. The whole place was done top to bottom in her Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme (including her gorgeous gown. that i would like to steal.) She was a beautiful and sweet 16 and looked as though she had a lot of fun at her party which was definitely rocking! Thanks so much for choosing me to photograph your whole Tiffany themed event- it was definitely a favorite!!!

dean & jess’s goodbye party
If you follow along here on the bsquared blog or on my instagram, I’m sure you’ll remember this awesome family of super hero fame & the cutest little kids. Dad/Dean is an active duty Marine and just received orders to Okinawa, Japan. So they’re on their way to a whole new adventure. The Leathernecks MC that Dean is a member of, threw them a goodbye party a few weeks ago and I was there to say my goodbyes and take some pictures. When their oldest daughter read her speech there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Crying, laughing, drinking…it was a good night. I even made the board (awwww, thanks Jess!) from the Marine Corps Ball that Jess and some of the families I took pictures for invited me to. And now that they’re moving across the globe, I found out the secret to Dean smiling for real in pictures- drinking. So if our paths ever cross again, I’m making him get drunk before our session.
Best of luck to you guys! I’ll miss you and I really hope I get to see you again (in Japan. For sushi). Thank you again Dean for your service to our country!!!! Safe travels and hugs!

rocco’s 1st communion
Was very excited to photograph this 2-part communion for this great family! Communion on one day and the party at Bridgeview Yacht Club on the next. Luckily we had sun and beautiful weather for the communion portraits but the next day was like a monsoon so no pictures outside. The party was a lot of fun for both the kids and the adults. And I think Rocco had a great time if his smiles are any indication! They’re really a great, happy family which makes my job a pleasure!

the roma family
To celebrate GG Bea’s 95th (!!!) birthday, there was a big family party and I was lucky enough to be asked to take some photos of everyone there. An amazing, wonderful family with a whole lot to celebrate! And what an awesome lady GG Bea is…always smiling and happy. Hope it was a wonderful birthday, and wishing you many, many more!
