robby’s christening
Getting closer to being caught up, but not quite there yet. Robby (who’s newborn session I did a few months ago) was christened a few weeks back at St Raymond and then celebrated with a big party back at his parents house. It was a lovely, but really hot, day and for the short time I was there it looked like everyone was having a great day, even Robby!
I love his chubby cheeks.
Not thrilled w the anointing process, and poor big sister Natalie looks worried. He was fine within seconds and went right back to sleep.
The big moment. Which he slept thru. 
Now that’s one happy, blessed baby!
Yes, this is their backyard. The whole thing. Looks like an amusement park, right? So much of it (or possibly all of it) was destroyed during Sandy with the water in the river coming up so high it flooded their house too. But it’s gorgeous and perfect again after a ton of hard work. 
Dad HATES getting his picture taken. This was perhaps the only time in my history of knowing this family that I didn’t have to remind him to smile. Knowing nothing about workshops myself even I could tell this one is beyond amazing. I love his neatness and organization. 
There’s a fire pit under that table. 
Cousins.
Besties. 
One of the owners of my dog I no longer own. Adorbs.
I’m sure you remember this handsome boy from his christening and party.
The next two pictures weren’t set up, but are so perfect. Besties and besties- the mothers to the daughters.

the taba family
A brand new to bsquared family (thanks Ari for the referral!) who was my first session after Timmy’s communitzvah. I prayed for easy kids and nice weather- and pretty much lucked out on all accounts. We met up at Gerry Park in Roslyn for our session in full on midday sun, so we had to get a little creative finding some shade and to stay away (far, far away) from the ducks & geese that one of the girls did NOT like.
They were tons of fun and loads of energy and I just adored the interaction between them all.
Oh, hi there.
I do love his horrified face.

kieran’s christening- part 2
Time for the party! A big shout out to Jennifer Evans Events for the fantastic party styling. (and I’m even more excited cause Jenn is coordinating Timmy’s Communion in just a few weeks!) Loved the whole nautical theme- Kieran’s dad is a big fisherman! Everyone had a great time and I’m sure you’ll find lots of familiar faces in the crowd. The party was held at the Coral House– they did a fantastic job on the renovations, the new owners are as nice as can be and the food was terrific!
A few of the details:
A ton of games and crafts for the kids.
The happiest, happy family!
This is the whole immediate family. Mom & Dad with all their children, spouses and grandchildren. 
I always loooove watching them dance!
A moving speech by the godmother, with tears and everything.
The man of the hour. Love his bow tie and little face. 
Beautiful, beautiful. 
A family dance to wrap up the beautiful afternoon.

kieran’s christening- part 1
Usually I don’t post Christenings in two parts, but there was just so much picturey-goodness to share here! So here we go with a few from the getting ready and the ceremony parts of Kieran’s special day. He is a much loved little boy!
Lots of familiar family faces in this shot. 
Someone only has eyes for mommy.
A very busy day at St. Agnes with 10 babies (!!!) being baptized.
More tomorrow… -
introducing…baby aidan
A brand new to bsquared family who just welcomed their 4th beautiful baby. Mom told me that they weren’t planning on doing a newborn shoot, but the way their older children reacted to the baby with so much love and amazement, she said she couldn’t pass it up. I hope I captured some of the love they share!
I hope he keeps that dimple!
Apparently, being awake is something that doesn’t happen very often. Glad I caught it!
All the kids have the coolest rooms.
Congratulations on your newest addition. He fits right in to your lovely family!
