A New Day Photography

3 feet of snow and counting!!!!

2010-02-11T06:38:00.001-08:00

The picture above shows what a mess we have! I was standing in the garage to take this pic. The height of the snow was even a few feet taller than this, but we had to knock it down to even get the garage door open! Good thing we have a JEEP with a lift and massive tires! Even at that we were pushing snow with our bumper and high centered several times. The snow drifts were so huge, they actually came up to the bottom of our kitchen windows! We've never seen this kind of snow before :0

I think Nick is the only one who actually likes it!

Fun day in the studio with my babies!

2010-01-28T13:42:00.001-08:00

He's 4 Now!!!!

2010-01-08T15:12:00.000-08:00

Blowing out the candle! His little blue cake with sugar sprinkles.

Opened a card from Grandma & Grandpa Monkey...money! He was so happy :)

Yeah! The Dinosaur King has another one! This time he's a big T-Rex!

He is old enough to ride in a booster seat now!!! Such a happy and exhausted big boy! Thanks Grandma :)

We took him to Wild Willy's to get his free birthday burger!

What a big bite! The little guy sure enjoyed his day...

Our Christmas Morning...

2009-12-25T11:32:00.001-08:00

Wrapping presents after the kids had gone to bed...

Our pretty tree!

The sleepy kids finally woke up and came downstairs!

The mess is starting!

Sadie in her new hand knit sweater from Aunt Jerusha!

Nick digging in...

Yeah, Woody from Toy Story!

A boy, his toys, a dog, and a HUGE mess!!

Sadie with her new art set.

Max with his present... a kong with peanut butter!

Our Christmas meal...the first time I've cooked one by myself!

Merry Christmas! Here are a few pictures from our crazy, busy morning! We sure had fun! Thanks to all our family and friends who helped make this a cheerful day!

Our GAP Kids :)

2009-12-20T06:40:00.001-08:00

The little girl is 3 now!!!

2009-12-20T06:39:00.001-08:00

SNOW!!!

2009-12-06T11:30:00.001-08:00

We got some good snow here! The kid have been having a lot of fun with it...

Macy's 2009 Thanksgiving Day Parade

2009-11-30T13:10:00.001-08:00

This one made it so worth it! These two had such a wonderful time! I felt like a little kid again watching their happy smiling faces :)

I call this pic...what New York City will do to you after awhile!

Santa!

This is what I had to deal with half the time!

Nick's favorite...Buzz Lightyear!

Sadie got a surprise visit from Dora! We had no idea there was going to be a Dora balloon...until Sadie let out a squeal for all to hear! Every little girls dream :)

One very happy girl!

We attended the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade! We were among the estimated 3.5 million!

18 Hours in New York City

2009-11-30T12:41:00.000-08:00

The kids and I. I just love how happy they are!

Nick and Sadie posing for me in Central Park! Central Park is where Home Alone 2 was filmed!

Central Park squirrel...

The 75' live Christmas Tree at the Rockefeller Center!

Ice-Skaters

Busy shoppers and lots of lights!

We visited the beautiful New York City over Thanksgiving. It had a charm all its own.Huge buildings, sparkling lights, music, shoppers. I felt like a little kid again, I could feel the magic of Christmas! We made our first visit to Carlos Bakery, where our other favorite TV show "Cake Boss" is filmed. We met little Buddy and enjoyed some yummy lobster claws. Seeing downtown New York City during the night was AMAZING! Saw the Rockefeller Center with the 75' tall live Christmas tree and ice-skaters. Enjoyed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, got my New York style pizza ;), saw the Empire State building, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, and strolled through Central Park. Yes, all in just 18 hours, and only spent $164 total (gas,hotel, food, and souvenirs included). Definitely an experience we will never forget!

Playing in the leaves...

2009-11-01T14:29:00.001-08:00

Nick and Sadie having a good time in the leaves. The wind blew most of these yellow leaves down from our big tree. It only lasted one day, but was great for pictures!

2009-10-28T18:39:00.000-07:00

We went to the Ace of Cakes first book signing last night. We watch them all the time on the Food Network Channel and finally got to meet them in person! The kids were actually featured on their blog!!!!!! I can't believe it, ahhhhhhh! They might even be on National Television when that episode airs in the future! To see their picture, click this link below and it will take you their blog.

National Aquarium; Baltimore, Maryland

2009-10-25T10:59:00.001-07:00

We went to visit the National Aquarium in Maryland this Saturday. The kids really enjoyed seeing all the animals. There were 5 levels in the building; all with different environments and a huge aquarium right down the middle. We went to the dolphin show and then watched a 4-D show that snowed and spit water at you (Nick's favorite part). I had never been to anything like it and really enjoyed our time together.

More Family Pictures!

2009-10-21T19:37:00.000-07:00

Went out again tonight. Just trying to fit in as many fall pictures as we can! Loving these of the kids...

2009-10-18T20:52:00.000-07:00

The market we go to every Friday. We end up leaving with so much food for such great prices!

Really neat pumpkin stand we pass often. The one in the middle is real and huge!

2009-10-15T12:24:00.000-07:00

Went to town last night to have supper. We ended up getting to see a parade! We ate pizza at Maria's Diner and then sat on the sidewalk watching the floats go by. The kids sure had fun getting some candy! Munched on a funnel cake and sipped on some hot chocolate with my best friend :)

Family Pictures!

2009-10-13T12:52:00.000-07:00

We went out and took some family pictures over the weekend. The leaves are really starting to turn here. We found a special place up in the mountains. There were red, yellow, and orange leaves covering the ground. It looked like someone had spilled some skittles!

Our Move to Pennsylvania!

2009-10-07T19:30:00.000-07:00

My girl making silly faces! I thought this one was priceless ;)

The new bed we purchased at a local auction. Something we've always wanted and finally found the right one!

Proud Nick. He helped me pick a ton of tomato's and other vegetables from our garden! I couldn't believe all that we found in there.

Our new table in our kitchen. I just love the hardwood floors!

Picking grapes in our backyard! They are so good and very sweet :)

The kids have their own room upstairs, they love it. They also have a play room.

The kids love riding their bikes up and down the sidewalk. There are lots of big trees and flowers!

The view from our backyard...

Our new home! It has 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, and a full basement.

Had a WONDERFUL session tonight with two little boys. The youngest was 3 months old and full of smiles. His big brother was 6 and full of energy. Such a great family to spend time with.

Thanks for letting me take her first photos :)

My Girl

Completely in LOVE with this pic. My little minnie me in all her glory. So totally her too, happy and carefree! Candid...my favorite :) If you know a photographers kid, you know how hard it is to get them to smile or even look at the camera! There is only one person that can make her smile as big as this, her Daddy :) Thanks for helping me get our little girl to put on a show!

2009-07-10T11:11:00.000-07:00

This picture holds so much emotion for me. It is rare to see him standing still and he only paused a moment to let me capture this. My little man with your restless spirit, you hold such a deep place in my heart!

It's so fun finding new places to take pictures. We were about an hour from home and stopped under this really neat tunnel; where the train tracks ran over the top. The lighting was a little tricky, but we managed to pull a few cool shots.

A preview into my on-location photo session from Thursday night. Just one of my favorites! You know that feeling when you get those little tingly chills all over? Well I get that when I see this photo! She is absolutely adorable and I found that perfect lighting again! This is why I live behind the lens. Thanks for giving me a chance guys :)

2009-06-09T12:26:00.000-07:00

The light was perfect last night, even at 7:30pm! This little girl was having her 3rd birthday party and loved being in the spotlight. She gave me some of the sweetest smiles and even posed like a little model! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
