it’s always something…
Timmy ended the day today with a 101.3 fever (no other symptoms as of yet and hopefully it will remain that way). Jack’s getting braces today (count on pictures tomorrow!). Patrick’s got nothing new to report which is definitely a good thing cause the kid’s not had the best of luck with stuff lately.
And according to the weather forecast it’s supposed to be a blizzard here on Wednesday. Not sure whether or not I believe them after what happened this weekend with like NO snow to speak of after their predictions of a foot or more. Or if I should start yelling F*$^ you at the weatherman again when he reports things I don’t like. Which is pretty much every forecast during the winter.
Since it’s been pretty much all Timmy pictures lately, here’s some of the big boys at Timmy’s party. They are SO over my camera, so I’m lucky I got these. Getting a picture with the braces is going to be a challenge. But I’ll win…

the mahe family
I was so excited to get the call (email?) from this fabulous family for a photoshoot.
I had originally taken their pictures 2 years ago on the beach. And I was told they had a new addition to the family (another boy), so I was even more excited to do the shoot. Actually, they got in touch right before Christmas but I was way sold out, so we just scheduled for January. Then on the day we were scheduled, it was drizzly and cloudy and I called just to be sure that we would have enough natural light in their apartment. After mom told me about their bay of 12 ft. windows (and I stopped drooling), I hit the road to get into the city as fast as I could.
Between the windows, the floors, the amazing brick wall, the cool staircase and open floor plan- AND then the gorgeous family…can you say photography heaven?
Then it got even better (is that even possible??) when we went outside to the cobblestone streets. Ahhh, NYC is just the best.
Thanks for a wonderful morning! Can’t wait to do it again!!

happy 5th birthday, Timmy!!
Here’s the birthday boy, proudly showing off something he made last week for his birthday (with help from Miss Andrea- thanks Miss Andrea!!)
He’s having a great birthday so far, following the tradition of having a candle in every meal complete with singing (in a bowl of cereal at breakfast, and a pizza bagel at lunch). And is playing lots of Wii with his brothers, getting ready for his party this afternoon.
I told him that I was a little sad (but really happy too) that he was growing up so much. And he told me “Don’t worry, mommy. I’ll still be me.” Melt.
He’s the best, most amazing, sweet and funny 5 year old. Ever. Happy Birthday, Timmyboo. I love you SO much!!

Timmy’s birthday ‘vegetable’- part 1
Let the birthday vegetable festivities begin! (for those of you who don’t know the origin of the bday vegetable, we have always had weeklong ‘birthday festivals’ for the boys, with parties, special dinners, etc. and when Timmy was really little when he said birthday festival it sounded exactly like birthday vegetable. So there you have it.)
Timmy celebrated his birthday (which is actually tomorrow) at school yesterday. I don’t think ANYONE, ever, in the history of the world of birthdays has been more excited about their birthday than he is! And everyone comments on it!
He really only likes Oreo cookies. No muchkins, no brownies, definitely no cake. So we made it work and brought Oreos in for the class. No one seemed to protest.
Bossing everyone around.
And my favorite expression on the right.
On the way out of the classroom, he announces “make way for the birthday boy! birthday boy coming thru!” See, excited!!! His party is tomorrow and I just hope his head doesn’t pop off from anticipation prior to that.

love month mini session special!
I’ve been working on a special idea for Feburary; after all it is love month!
I’m offering 10 mini session spots for February and March (mini sessions are normally only available during Sept-November and are for holiday card pictures. I don’t offer them at other times of the year.) with a percentage of the proceeds going to TWLOHA, a foundation that I really admire.
TWLOHA (which stands for To Write Love On Her Arms) is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. You can read more about To Write Love On Her Arms here.
I first heard of TWLOHA on PostSecret and thought it was so fantastic. For a number of reasons the movement just spoke to me and in honor of ‘love month’ I thought it would be great to do something to show the love!
So, how does this relate to you? If you book a minisession (times and dates below) a portion of each shoot will be donated directly to TWLOHA. A mini session runs 30 minutes, includes only the members of your immediate family, no clothing changes, and gives you your choice of 20 images from your online gallery as 4×6 proofs and those images on a high resolution disc. Normally, I name the location, but for the special, I’ll come to you. Travel costs may apply out of Nassau Co. The cost for the mini session is $200.
I’m hoping the spots go quickly (they do in the fall) and I can donate a good amount! Please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net with the time and date you’d like and we’ll get you booked up!
Saturday, February 13 spots available at: 3:30pm
Sunday, February 28th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm
Sunday, March 14th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm
Saturday, March 20th 9am only
Saturday, March 27th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm
Hope to hear from you so we can help this amazing foundation together!
