    the cald family

    This shoot was the perfect way to jump back into busy season. The parents were super nice and accomodating (and just slightly photogenic) and the kids…oh, the kids. Gorgeous, sparkly-eyed, sweet as the day is long, and so, so, so well behaved! Loved them all!!

    I could go on and on about this amazing family, but I think I’ll let the pictures do the talking for me.

    The show was awesome and everyone had a blast! The band sounded incredible and had lots of (screaming) fans.  Lots more recap on the show soon.

    I took over 900 pictures so there’s a lot to go thru and edit. Be patient, the rest are on their way as soon as I can.

    best laid plans and all that…

    So yesterday I was going to take the boys to the Museum of Natural History. But after a late start (damn navigation system), ridiculous traffic into the city (shoulda just taken the train), and a complete lack of available parking, we ditched the Museum and just headed into Central Park for a photoshoot. Which ended up being so fun. The boys even liked it. More on that in a few days, though. I still have to edit the pictures. Here’s two in the meantime.

    In other news, I’m happy to welcome our new nephew/cousin James William. Born yesterday at 2:05pm at 7lbs. So exciting!!! Pictures as soon as I possibly can. Oh, and the kid is already a typical Beyrer– taking his own sweet time (poor Gail was in labor for about 24hrs and ended up with a Csection anyway).  So that is 7 grandchildren/cousins. And that is 7 BOYS. Craziness. And don’t ask me if I’m trying for a girl. Cause I’m not and the only way I’d be getting one is if one is left miraculously on the doorstep.

    So excited to go see my ‘other boys’ The Turn tonight in their big show at Madison Hall.  If you are interested in coming, please shoot me an email. I can get you $10 tickets until 6pm tonight, after that it’s $15 at the door.  Doors open at 9pm, show starts around 9:30pm until about 11pm and then party until 1am. Brian and Pat are both so pumped about putting on a great show for everyone. And I know they are going to totally rock it. Hope to see you there. It should be a really fun night out.

    Spring. With more than one day in a row that’s nice out. That New York isn’t only just brown and grey. There’s green, yellow, blue, purple, pink…finally.

    Heading into Manhattan today with the boys to go to the Museum of Natural History and hopefully a few shots in Central Park too.

    And still awaiting news on my newest nephew. Gail has been in labor at the hospital since yesterday morning. I’m sure they can’t wait to say….finally!!

    sunday at the beach

    Almost two weeks ago (I know, a little behind again) we spent a Sunday down at various beach locations. It was a beautiful day, I wasn’t working, there was no baseball, and we all needed some family & outside time.

    web66

    First stop was Sun & Surf to take our pictures for this summer’s ID cards. I also checked in with the director about having my birthday party there in September. Looks like that’s a go, but more on that in a future post. Took some pictures in the good light and some shots of the boys playing some baseball in the parking lot.

    Then we decided last second that we were hungry and that we were going to see Uncle Nelson at Paddy McGee’s for brunch. It was a good decision. Yum!!

    web76

    Then off to Long Beach boardwalk for a bike ride for the boys, walking for John & me. John didn’t last long on the walking and Timmy didn’t last long on the riding, so they hung out on a bench. I walked to the end with Jack & Patrick riding along.

    We all had that good outside in the sun on the beach exhaustion afterwards. It was a good day.

    Now if the weather would get nice and stay that way for more than one day…

    A busy day today: big boys have the orthodontist this morning and then I have a shoot in the afternoon. The orthodontist has the potential for big issues- they are getting their ‘records’ done which includes impressions. It ain’t gonna be pretty. Nuh uh.
