    the davi babies

    My second time photographing these little beauties and I was so excited to see them again. They did not dissapoint.

    They are starting to sit up (with a lot of help and a bunch of tipping over) and were as adorable as ever. Even when one of the girls was trying to eat her sister.

    Sadly (for me) the whole family is moving South (way South) at the end of the month so I think this will be my last time photographing them. R, I hope you send me pictures every now and then so I can see how they are growing.

    He got that face (please note he can do it on both sides) from his father. John used to make this face at his sister across the dinner table when his parents weren’t looking and it would make her VERY angry. So now the torch is passed and Jack can torture his aunt too.

    I know I have a zillion things to post so stay tuned over the next few days. I have a client session with twin baby girls, a ton from Timmy’s birthday festival vegetable (yes, I know I promised this a few days ago but with all the blog glitches it kinda got pushed back), Jack’s Valentines party, and a bunch of all my boys. We are leaving for Florida (yippeee!) on Tuesday, so I’ll be posting until then and whatever I don’t get to before the vacation, I will post when we get back the following week (assuming I don’t die in a firey plane crash of course).

    project linus

    I ran over to the boys school this week to take some pictures of Patrick’s class project. Mrs. Jay (their teacher) has been involved with Project Linus for a few years now (yes, like Linus from Peanuts with the blankie) as Mrs. Jay’s favorite hobby is sewing and quilting- she has passed that on to her classes with a community service twist.

    They make handmade quilts for children with serious illnesses so they have something warm and cozy (and just for them) for their hospital beds. The quilts are made by the kids in the class along with Mrs. Jay (and a few high school volunteers too) from beginning to end, with each child being able to choose fabric and use the sewing machine. The kids are super proud of their work and have finished 7 quilts so far this year (4 of which were delivered to children at Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital in NYC). The receipients send back a picture of themselves with their new quilt so the class can see how much the kids love and appreciate their quilts.

    It’s a great project and the children in the class are really so happy and excited to be a part of it. Gotta love this teacher!

    the baro family

    The baro’s were given a bsquared gift certificate from one of my very favorite bsquared clients, so I knew I would like them before we even met. And I was not wrong! They are such nice people and were a pleasure to be around. Not to mention how fabulous their building in midtown Manhattan was- with a light filled apartment, beautiful lobby and fantastic playroom (and a pool too!). Although their little boy was having an off day (ear infections stink!!), I think we still got some great shots. Everyone had a great time playing in the cheery little house in the playroom. And lollipop and puff snacks go a long way in the bribe department!!

    Hope you enjoy your pictures, baro family. It was such a pleasure meeting you all!
