    the pers 1st birthday

    January 8, 2011 /

    After photographing this little one as a (almost) newborn, I was so happy to be asked to come and capture her big first birthday bash! If you are a blog stalker, I’m sure you’ll recognize many familiar faces in the crowd. Miss N seemed to have a great time at her party, especially with Elmo and her new car.

    The picture on the right is so Sesame Street. Big and little. A little musical chairs.Twins (grandma and aunt)!Here are those familiar faces…Showing off some of her tricks and smiles (told ya the new car was a big hit!)She looks like she’s saying “wow, all of this is for ME?”Happy Birthday sweet Miss N! Great seeing all of my bsquared friends and thanks for letting me celebrate with you!

    Photographing this gorgeous baby girl was a perfect way to end 2010. She was beautiful and pink and just delish! Couldn’t get her to smile to save my life but she was perfect just the same. She is the niece of a longtime bsquared family and I’m happy to welcome her to the bsquared family as well!

    a little update

    January 4, 2011 /

    On my friend Robin and Joe and their baby Eoin. I’m certain that you’ll remember Eoin’s story- born very prematurely at 25 weeks. Well, just look at the boy now!

    He’s doing SO great, reaching all his milestones on time for his adjusted age. He’s even starting to talk a little. And he can stack blocks like nobody’s business! Of course he’s the apple of his parents eyes! But pretty soon, he’s going to have to share that spotlight….with identical twin girls!!! Yup, you read that right. Huge congrats to Robin & Joe (& Eoin too). So exciting and what a surprise! Can’t wait to start shopping for the girls and to take tons of adorable newborn twin pictures! Please keep their whole family in your prayers that the babies stay on the inside for as long as possible!!

    the dizd family

    January 3, 2011 /

    Right before (and I do mean right before) Christmas, I got to take pictures of a newborn baby girl and her lovely family (who I have photographed in the past). Their son shocked me (and I do mean shocked) with how much he wanted to take pictures, especially pictures with his new baby sister. He’s usually pretty camera shy and very busy (not an easy combination for a photographer) but he was all into sitting with his sister and giving her kisses. Loooooove him!

    We did the same shot (on the left) in the same basket when her brother was a newborn.  Pretty smiles with new, peely skin. I love that combination! I think she idolizes her big brother already! Thanks for a great shoot of your beautiful family N & P!! Congratulations again on your baby girl. She’s delish!!

    the owen family

    December 29, 2010 /

    While I had great aspirations for some kind of year end wrap up or something today I’m being so lazy and vacationy that I didn’t get around to it. Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after that. My new tag line- Vacation. It doesn’t suck.

    Another shoot lost in the holiday shuffle. A quick mini session at home for these delicious kids who have appeared here on the bsquared blog more times than I can count. Their mom was basically the starting point of my business- sending many (and I do mean MANY- like in almost all) of my first clients. I adore photographing them and am so happy that they now have a whole new baby for me to take pictures of!

    Love the face on the right- please get him offfffff me!! There’s droooooool!!! Hi, I’m K….welcome to my Christmas village. He is the happiest baby. Ever.  Something entirely MadMen about this picture. Don’t know if it’s the lighting, the look he’s giving me or what. But I adore it.  Thanks for another fantastic shoot! Can’t wait for the christening!!!

    Oh, and I can’t leave this out. When B was born, Jerry from Fade to Black Video came over (on crutches no less) to film their shoot and make it into a whole ‘video your shoot’ experience for the family. I challenge you not to cry- especially at the ‘brand new brother’ part. He presented the video at the christening (pictures from the christening soon). It’s really a must watch!
