• i'm with the band

    the turn @ arctica nyc

    Went last week to catch my favorite band at another 3rd Ave. gig in the city. But this time, it was the full band playing which is always a great show. Ends up that Arctica liked them so much that The Turn was offered an ongoing gig with the full band for something like 7 dates this summer. So awesome!

    My friend Lois came down from CT last night for a sushi dinner and a photography lesson. We had a great time and I really hope she learned something inbetween us catching up and laughing. She’s so sweet and a regular blog stalker so she brought the boys some awesome baseball cookies (which were devoured minutes after the pictures were taken). Thanks, Lois!! They loved them!

    We are at a fever pitch level (pun intended) with baseball around here. John took all the boys to a Brooklyn Cyclones game last night, they’ve had baseball camp every morning this week (and next week too) , a travel team practice Monday night and an away game tonight.

    I’m so behind in editing, processing orders, cleaning the house…everything. New pictures coming soon. And my shoot today for another highschool friend who’s back ‘home’ from St. Louis is in limbo with the weather.

    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    If you are a bsquared blog follower, I’m sure you’ll remember these gorgeous girls and their gorgeous mom (Dad was working this time around). Well, they have since added another gorgeous girl to their family.

    This shoot was quite challenging (and not because of the subjects- far from it- they were great!) but because it was yet another day of rain with dark skies. The only room in the house that had good light for me was the baby’s room on the bed right at the windows. So we couldn’t move around much, but we totally made it work. At least I think so.

    She is a beautiful baby. Pure and simple. Just look at that skin! And that hair! and that chub, too!

    garrett & susan- part 3 (after the ceremony)

    If you’ve been following along (and I hope that you have) I kinda skipped over this part and went right from the cerermony to the reception. So I thought I’d like to save this series for last cause I love them (really, I love all the pictures from the wedding, but these are just among my favorites). All the pressure was off at this point and everyone was getting ready to head into the reception. The guests were enjoying cocktail hour and we went back to the beautiful courtyard for some pictures.

    Now just wait til you all see the Trash The Dress session that we did when the happy couple arrived home from their honeymoon. We totally rocked it to pieces!! Coming soon. Well, soonish.

  • children & families

    the coll family

    This family was so filled with fabulousness. Between the outfits, the kids, and the parents, it was a great session. (Didn’t think I’d say that, did you L?) We had some bumps in the road with the boys but you could never really tell by the pictures. And really, what else matters?

    Their daughter is definitely an ‘old soul’ and reminded me so much of my Jack. With the way above her years vocabulary (used completely correctly I might add) and awesome insights pouring out of her at every turn. She was a great help during the whole shoot.

    The middle boy was quite a pip and was really only interested in playing in the sand. Can you blame him? I mean it is the beach afterall.

    web1122

    And the little one was so cute and funny. Every time I asked Mom and Dad to do something silly to make him laugh and Dad would put Mom up on his shoulders (told you they were awesome), the baby would scream and cry! Got some anyway, so HA! It’s the best getting a good picture of a challenging subject. (and by the way, good height daddy!)

    Love these of Mom. I think every mom should have some fabulous shots of just herself. Cause really, when does that ever happen?
