the medv family
This family has quickly turned into one of my favorites to photograph. This is my second year with them, meeting them out at their home in East Hampton (where they have the best light, ever), where they are so kind and welcoming, feed me dinner and let me stay late so I don’t have to drive back in Hamptons traffic on a Sunday night in the summer.
And if they weren’t fabulous enough last year, this year they had a whole new person for me to photograph- little Miss A.
Meet the whole group!
You may recognize both the fence and the boy from my blog header. 
A big thank you to Uncle Chris who worked so hard helping to get the kids to look and laugh. Basically every picture you see with the little kids smiling, thats cause of Chris!
Brother and sister. And brother and sister. 
She had just woken up from her nap, and was this happy. Can’t ask for more than that!
Thanks again for everything! I had a great time (of course) and hope you love the pictures! -
the owen baby
Everyone (but especially mom and dad who have struggled through years of infertility) including me has been waiting on pins and needles for this baby to arrive. Mom is a very good friend of mine (and dad too- thanks for the couch help this week!!) and I was so thrilled for them when I found out they were expecting! Someone new for me to photograph since I adore photographing their gorgeous daughter. This was the first baby that I guessed the sex correctly, too!!
Welcome baby B!!! You are gorgeous, so wanted, and loved enormously by many!!
Such a beautiful family!!!
Doesn’t he look so happy in his big sister’s arms?!
Ok, he’s exactly one week old here. With crazy good eye contact!! He’s going to be a joy to photograph!!
Congratulations to all of you and much love!! -
adventures in Connecticut
As my blog stalkers know, we went to Connecticut this week to get 8 teeth from Jack and Patrick pulled. In Connecticut. Completely worth the 1.5 hour drive. The oral surgeon was awesome, so great with the boys, and a real pro at his job. He put them under with a little nitrous oxide (they were out for no more than 3 minutes each) and pulled out 4 teeth from each of them. No novicaine, no problems.
Here they are looking drugged, with their little bags of gauze pads each.
And a little over one hour later with several gauze changes…Seeing Eoin and Aunt Robin perked them right up and they were their own happy selves again, just less a few teeth!
As an added bonus, I got to take some MORE pictures of Eoin (twice in a week, it’s a record for us for sure!) and visit with Robin. He’s just yum!!
We bought Eoin a wagon for his birthday (a little belatedly) and Timmy really ‘helped’ us put it together while the big boys watched/played with Eoin and then played Call of Duty on Aunt Robin and Uncle Joe’s playstation. They were in heaven. 
Told you he was yum! Oh, I have to get back there again to do some more cheek squeeeeeeeeeeezing. 
Eoin went in for a nap, and after 2+ hours Robin and I (and Timmy) finished the wagon, after a little sushi break of course. It’s like the Mercedes of wagons…
And Jack snapped one of us too. Thanks, dude! (ok, I know my hair is a little frizzy but it was like 1000% humidity and we were sweating from wagon assembly). Love you Rob!!
And those were our adventures in Connecticut. -
the mcbr family
A brand new to bsquared family here on the blog today. Their son is a little ray of sunshine, with smiles that just light up the entire neighborhood!
I love that they decided to do their shoot at home- adored their garden, with lots of nooks and crannies with lovely landscaping to choose from. And tons of hydrangeas- my favorite!!
It was someone’s first birthday not too long before our shoot. So sweet. 
Thanks for sharing your home and your smiles with me! -
like pulling teeth & a miracle update
We’re heading on up to Connecticut today to pay a visit to an oral surgeon (who happens to be the father in law of a favorite bsquared client) who will be yanking 8 baby teeth out of 2 boys this morning. Wish us luck on that- hopefully it will all go well and smoothly with minimal drama. Why go all the way to Connecticut you ask…well, when I saw the oral surgeon here in NY he let me know that it would be $2160.00 to have those same 8 teeth removed that apparently ‘pop right out’. Well, dude– if they ‘pop right out’ then why are you charging $2000??? So to Connecticut we go…
Then after that fun, we are heading over to see this little guy and Aunt Robin for some sympathy and lunch and playtime (hopefully the boys will be up for some playtime with Eoin as this is the first time they will be meeting him!!). For those of you who blog stalk, you may remember Eoin’s story (found here if you’d like to read his miraculous story of being born at 2 lbs at 24 weeks). Can you even believe the little man is now 14 months old (so 11 months adjusted age) and is doing totally and absolutely phenomenal!! He’s perfect. And so, so smiley! And quite the porker too. And the best part? No real delays, no medications, just all perfect. You know you want to just sqeeeeeeeeze him thru the computer.
I quickly snapped these last week when I visited Robin on the way home from shooting my first gay wedding in CT. Hope to take some better ones (with good light this time) up there today. The boys are so excited to meet Eoin- they’ve waited a year + to get to do it (walking petri dishes and all that- we had to be really careful about not exposing Eoin to anything germy. Like boys). Be on the lookout for some new Eoin pictures again soon.
