    the mora birthday party

    A double dress up photo birthday party for two gorgeous girls, and I was asked to shoot it. So much fun, even for me!

    I had a great time with all of the girls (and the few boys/daddies who muddled thru) and I think the party was a big sucess.

    5 for Friday

    1. So after ‘officially’ opening the bsquared fall calendar last weekend, I have booked 35 shoots! Craziness!! Thank you to all my clients both repeat and new, and to all my clients who have referred a friend or family member, there’s no better compliment. I never imagined bsquared photography would turn into anything close to this. I’m so lucky and I’m so grateful to you all! (and especially to John and my boys who are so supportive and let me do this crazy photography thing!)

    Based on the fact that I’ve booked 35 shoots for Sept-Nov, there are not so many spots left. So don’t procrastinate and get shut out. Book your fall date now. Here’s the most updated calendar: http://www.bsquaredphotography.net/?page_id=3635

    2. I bought a new chair today for the “office” (my office is a built in desk in my kitchen with the computer and all my bsquared books on it).  I spend more hours than I care to count sitting here, so I figure it was time to upgrade my seating. I’m so excited to get it! Can you guess which color I ordered?

    3. Been doing lots of design work for my favorite band, The Turn. They have a residency gig at a really cool bar in NYC called Arctica on Sundays for the rest of the summer. With the whole band playing! So if you are looking to get out and RockTheTurn, this would be a great place to do it- easy access right on 3rd Ave. web716

     

    And some exciting news- I was just asked by the nice people at Arctica to do some promotional card design work for them too ! Thanks, B for getting me that!! So I’ll post that card when it’s all done.

    4. Went with the boys and Grandma & Grandpa to see Jack & Patrick’s new horse race at Belmont. It was all exciting up until the last minute when the horse was scratched at the gate by the track vet. Loose shoes or something. So we didn’t get to see Talking Blues race, but at least we had a fun afternoon and I got some nice pictures.

    (for you blog followers out there, you may know that Jack & Patrick had another race horse named Wheel Charmer who had a non-existant career, but was a nice horse and unfortunately had to be put down due to a leg injury. So Talking Blues is the newest horse. We are anxiously awaiting getting into that winners circle. Someday.)

    The boys won $2 each on the race before so it wasn’t a total loss.

    5. I’m so excited to give you a little heads up on some upcoming bsquared ‘stuff’ that’ll be offered starting in August. I’ll be putting up all my 2009 Holiday Card collection templates. So make sure you stop by the blog to see those.

    AND…I am thrilled to be working with my friend Judy on her new venture : Ju-jewels.  She’ll be offering custom created photo jewelery and accessories. They are beautiful and I’m proud to be sporting mine around town! Here’s a little sneak peek: (the pictures of the jewelry aren’t the best. I think I need to invest in the macro lens. But the jewlery itself is gorgeous, and thick, and the photos inside are super crisp.)

    6. (ok, I know it’s 5 for friday, but it’s already so late in the day so I am throwing in one more). While bsquared is closed for the month of August, I’m only closed in the sense that I’m not TAKING any pictures for clients. I’m still so far behind on the editing that there will be plenty of shoots still posted to the blog of client sessions. Plus, Holiday Cards 2009 will be debuting as well as more of the Ju-jewelry collection, and all of my personal pictures. So please keep coming back to visit every day, my loyal stalkers! There might be a lull in the action for the 1st week of August because I will actually BE on vacation then, but I might schedule some stuff to post while I’m away.

    the fuji family

    A trip to Westchester was in order to meet this family. They live in a lovely home with a HUGE yard (ok, I knew it was huge but when I ran back up to the house to change out my flash card and came back outside and couldn’t find them, I knew it was big- like park big!)

    We had a great time just playing (trains and exploring and dressing up and blowing bubbles and 1-2-3whee) and just being 2 with Mr. K.

    And how much do you love the stickers all over his legs?  S, I can photoshop them out if you want, but they just scream 2 to me, I had to leave them in to show you.

    Cannot count how many kids break out some kind of camera to take pictures of ME during the shoot. Turnabout is fair play… but thank goodness they don’t actually take the pictures. I’m not so pretty when working. I look pretty schlubby actually but rolling around in the dirt/sand/grass/wet/floor is what I do!

    So great meeting you all! And so happy Mr. K warmed up after a bit. I think it’s safe to say we were friends by the end. Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me! To see all of the images from the shoot, please click HERE.

    This adorable and fun family came to me thru two different referrals, the sister of the mom and the sister of the dad. So, thank you to both!

    Loved this fun bunch- they kept me on my toes! When mom booked the shoot and gave me the ages of the kids, she wished me good luck with the littlest. She was a real pip, but a great photogenic little model.

    We met up at the GC Cathedral where I had done another shoot not too long before. When we were getting close to being finished some guy appeared out of nowhere (very rudely I might add- no need for that, you can just ask nicely!) came over to tell us that it was private property and that we had to leave. At least it was at the end of the shoot and we would have been wrapping up soon thereafter anyway.

    So nice meeting you all!! Hope you enjoy your pictures and I got the shots you were looking for to hang on your stairs! To view all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.

    This is one of those shoots that both mom and I thought might not ever happen. And as it turns out, we made it in just under the wire. We had rescheduled 3 times due to various things, one including the baby having a black (actually rainbow colored) eye because of a fall. Well, thank goodness she was fine and looked fine by the time of the rescheduled shoot too. As it turns out, within a few hours of the shoot being completed the poor baby got stung by a bee on her eyelid! After a trip to the ER she was fine, just swollen and not photoready. So glad we got the shoot in when we did, right J??

    A bunch of the best looking kids, all in one family. And so good, too. This was my second time photographing them (do you remember the baby from last year? She was in a brown/white polka dotted canvas bag with her name on it.) and I enjoyed them thoroughly.
