Our Girl is 3!!!

3 years ago on a cold November morning we rushed to BWH in Boston to have our lives changed forever. On that amazing day a little princes was born into our world and what do you know, she is the best thing that ever happened to us! Can you really beleive it?! Our little bundle of joy then is a little miss now - she just turned 3!!!

This picture explains it all. They don't call it labor for nothing, right!? Tony was very active in the delivery room, and at some point the doctor even asked to pass him one of the tools or something during delivery, it was very cute. The next day I left the room, and here is what I saw when I returned. I adore this image, it is my 2d favorite from our hospital set (the 1st one exposes Tony crying like a baby holding his little bundle of joy) After Tony's parents saw this picture they humorously suggested to explain who, in fact, was giving birth. Tony's explanation went like this - I worked very hard in that delivery room, so I deserve some down time too!!! :)

We have a huge print of this image on the wall right between the 1st and 2d floor, I smile every day looking at it as I'm running up and down the stairs

We have so much fun together

Yay! presents!

Maine Strobist Shoot

If you are a photographer, than you have probably heard of Strobist. If you are not a photographer, than this probably won't mean much to you, but don't leave just yet, as we have some cool images down below. Strobist is a site dedicated to off camera lighting and nothing else. In a short couple of years it has become the mecca of information about flash photography, so if you are interested in creative lighting head on over there and spend as much time there as possible :)

Anyhow, about a week ago we attended a photographers get together in Maine that was put together by our fellow strobisters (that sounds weird...) Mark, Andrew and Nate. Guys, thanks a ton for organizing such an awesome event. So, last Saturday morning me, Anna, Doug, James and Shyla rented a minivan and drove all the way to Topsham, ME for the event. I have heard several people say that they hadn't had that much fun in a long time and I would have to agree with that. It was wicked fun! Alsmost 30 photographers, a dozen models, professional make up artists, loads of awesome lighting gear...what else does a photographer need! :) Thanks to everyone who showed up and made this event a success! Can't wait for the next one. If you are interested in attending one of these in the future, make sure you check this site and check it periodically. Well, here are some images that I had a chance to edit, more to come in a couple of days.

A Happy Family: Revisited

This blog post comes right on time, because today is a big day for one of our past clients -a wonderful mommy whom I proudly call friend. We bonded the minute we met, so our business relationship almost instantly transitioned into a personal one. I couldn't be happier that our paths have crossed and we stay in touch, because I have such adoration for this family. Happy Birthday, Betina! We wish you a lifetime of unconditional love and happiness, a zillion of laughs and smiles...and may your family always stay strong and healthy!

Not so long ago we were invited for dinner and some family fun. Betina wanted us to try some Dominican food, and as it turned out, she knew all about my love for potatoes (thank you, Tony :)) I couldn't believe that she chose several recepies that included potatoes just for me, and I thank her for that! The food was absolutely delicious and we all had such a great time playing, chatting and simply enjoying each others company.

Here are some pictures that surely won't prove you otherwise :)
I hope that the next time we get together I will be able to learn some martial arts from the kids, can't wait!

JJ patrolling

Ohh, these games require such concentration, but bring so much joy !

Time to eat the cake!

I wonder what JJ was thinking about...

DiDi feels very comfortable here

What a cutie!

BFFs

Have a great Birthday, darling, I'm sure the kids have some killer presents for you :)

I love you guys and hope to see you soon! And now, Cheers :)

Halloween Cuties

This year Halloween was extra sweet and extra fun. Why? Because we went trick or treating twice :) First, our lady bug joined her dear friend Batman and surprisingly, they enjoyed running around and jumping in leaves much more than getting the candy.

A minute of seriousness :)

I'm glad Batman took off his mask, look at how adorable he is


Then it was time for a transformation, and a lady bug became a little bumble bee, joining her girlies-the princesses and a BFF pumpkin

On a mission

Bzzzzzz...

Hope you all had a great Halloween, friends, because we definitely did!
