Practicing

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit with my BFF's GF Jenn today with her Hubby Kevin. They are expecting their first (A GIRL!!!) in February. I offered to do a sb/ps session with them and here are one of my favorites so far. I know I cut off their legs but I think it's by far one of the best portraits I have done!! Thanks Jen!

Missing The Magic

Last Sunday, Miss Boo and I departed, with my Parents, at 3:15 am heading for our flight to Orlando. We arrived in Orlando, boarded the Magical Express and where whisked away to the most magical time I have ever experienced with both my parents, and especially my Daughter. It was quite bittersweet at times when Craig wasn't there to witness such events but I documented everything on DVD and camera. He had a guys week at home with Mason, which he was excited about as well. Here are a few I took of her. Enjoy! Hopefully in a couple of years, we will be going back!

School Day's are Here Again!

Miss Boo's first day of school was today. She was so excited. She woke up, made her bed (yes), ate all of her breakfast, and out the door we went. She listened so well this morning. I just hope it goes this smoothly tomorrow. The weather was crappy, so I attatched my speedlite. Needless to say, I love the natural light as opposed to fill flash. Enjoy

The End

of taking pictures of Miss Boo that is. She will not look at me, and if she does, it's a freaky face. Mason cries when he sees that I have the camera. Enjoy

Yes, and then there was Mason

Mason is so difficult to take pictures of. I virtually have none of him in this past 9 months because he just doesn't stay still. It was dark and cloudy and decided to play around with my ol speedlight. I know it's not perfect but I like this one.

Slacking

I know I have been slacking on the Blog end of my life. I have just been super busy and finishing off the summer. I took Miss Boo outside today to get a few shots of her. The sun was out full blast so she was a little fussy because the sun was bright in her eyes, but for the most part they turned out good. Enjoy

Home Sweet Home

Well.. Last Thursday, Maddie, Mason, and I left the Hubs and retreated to Lake Wallenpaupack for almost an entire week. We had alot of fun. I took Maddie to the beach at the lake a couple times and we had a blast. Mason couldn't, it would have been a safety issue being alone with the two of them. Mason is just out of control when he walks. Well here are a couple of shots I took. Enjoy!

Fourth Festivities

We did the usual Fourth traditions this year. Went to Southampton Days, saw the parade, and went to the fair. Ended the night with a nice evening over my Parents house for dinner and celebratory CAKE!! Here are a few shots. Enjoy

Maddie

It seems as though if when she puts this dress on, I always get great shots of her  She loves to pose.  I took her outside today and got a few good ones.  This one although there is nothing special about it, I still love it!  Enjoy

Well finally she sat a little anyway.  These aren't great to say the least.  A little orangy I think but comes to show all of you that I am still the proud owner of  daughter.  She is blooming into this little woman it makes my heart break sometimes.  I am missing the Miss Boo babyface!!  Enjoy.

I do have a daughter, I KNOW

She has been so hard to tag and take photos lately, and Mason is still thankfully at that agae where he can be some what contained.  So I planted him in the highchair and infront of the porch door and let the light shine on through.  I soon however realized that I was still in my short ratty looking house dress when the mailman greeted me with my mail.  Eeeek!  Enjoy my boy!!

Rain...Rain....

Well we got a rainy day today.  It was kind of a nice break in the forcast.  We bought Mason this little baby gym that can go in and outside and he LOVES it.   Here is a quick pic from today.  Not the best.  Very noisy I know but low lighting.  Enjoy.

Better Late than NEVER!

Well I have to apologize for the lack of posts this past couple of months.  It's been quite hectic around here.  Between spring cleaning, organizing, and playing outside I haven;t had time to really post or even take pictures nonetheless.  I figured I would appease my father however since he made a comment last week that I don;t post enough.

I love this picture of Boo and Craig.  Not the best shot in the world. Crappy lighting, and she really NEVER looks at the camera, but enough for me to love it.  She is growing into such a young lady.  Too fast I am afraid, right before my eyes.  This parenting thing just goes by way to fast!

Been so Long

I know, I have been slacking once again.  The weather is getting nicer and I am here less and less in front of the computer.  I wish I could say I have a ton of photos to blog but I sorta don't :(  I have several from the other day of Maddie and Cam having ice cream over Nan's.  Everything is going well.  Getting ready for the summer as well as still doing to the last of my spring cleaning!!

Enjoy

Gaining on it

My computer has been abandoned for weeks now all because of this weather.  Spring cleaning is in full swing and I have yet to settle down on the computer and do anything until today.  A nice rainy yucky, good to do nothing day!  I took this yesterday.  Maddie is doing really well with driving the Jeep, which is alot to say compared to last year.  So I was outside with Mason, I plopped him in shotgun and away they went.  The look on Mason's face was priceless.  He was having a great time!

Enjoy

Happy Easter!

I know it has been a while but better late than never.  I had a wonderful Easter with the Family over my place.  I love hosting....so much fun.  Had an Easter egg hunt and the whole shebang. Dyed eggs last night for the first time.  Wish we made more.  We weren't so sure how Maddie was going to like it.  She loved it.  Enjoy.

Just One

Just one I took of Boo today.  Not the greatest, she lost her elbows but beside that I love it!  Enjoy!

Slacking

I was doing good for a while there.  Almost blogging everyday,  I have been so busy with Spring here now.  Cleaning out unwanted clutter.  Helping in the yard when I can, and even just relaxing and spending time with the kiddos.  I must admit, I feel guilty at times being on the computer when there is no naps going on.  So I leave you with Mason.  The Man himself.  He is really starting to show his personality, and I am totally in love.  He babbles, goos and just about to walk....any day now!!  He's a real tease with it but he's getting braver a little more every day.  The most frustrating thing is I can never get him still for a picture.  He is on the move.  So this shot I plopped him in the leaves and he stood completely still, for like 15 seconds.  Enjoy

Happy St. Patricks Day!

All tough I am not a proud supporter, or maybe that is harsh to say, but celebrator of this holiday, I figured I would grace you with a post anyway.  I am really not familiar with this holiday, nor do I even know what it means.  Maddie asked me this morning and I told her I didnt know what St. Paddy's day is.  Something about snakes in Ireland and so on.  So ANYWAY, I took a shot of Maddie.  She made this in school today.  Enjoy

Sugar Overload

My FABULOUS sister and her husband went to New York for an Anniversary weekend, and returned with these.  Delicious Magnolia Bakery cupcakes.  They were absolutely delicious.  I especially loved the icing (who wouldn't).  I highly recommend a daytrip to indulge in one (or a dozen) of these.  Pics were taken with the help of my Sister.

Mason take 2....Action

Here is Mason.  I used a new photoshop action.  I love it!!

Silly

Maddie that is.  Take a look at Miss Boo not cooperating with the camera.  Funny, but frustrating to say the least!

So I was just fooling around with the kiddos, and I must say.  My children are so not liking the camera anymore.  Mason refuses to sit still and Maddie just likes to be downright stubborn and silly )make any sense).  So here is one from today of Mason (aka Macey to Maddie).  I know he is a little blown out in color on the left but hey, consider the source.  Enjoy!!  The first one was edited by a woman on my PB.  Thanks for the help!!
