Levy Love

Summer days are definitely in full swing!  I have been a bit of a slacker on the blogging front -- sit in front of the computer vs. run around outside with my adorable beasties?  Beasties have the ol' laptop beat these days :).  But, I couldn't resist posting up some shots from a recent family session with the Levy family.  Their two sons were so fun to chase around and capture them enjoying a summer morning at the beach & park.  

To my graduate...

Dear Hana,

Today is the last day of Kindergarten for you.  Next year, you're onto the BIG playground - woah!  It has been so much fun (mostly) watching you experience and grow through this year.  You've got buddies who you call your "girlfriends" and "boyfriends" and just recently you explained to me the meaning of "B.F.F.".  You're excited to be a first grader and are already asking what types of things you will be learning and wanting to know how to do them, so you'll be "PREPARED".  This is something I know a lot about.  Your father plays it very cool and he takes things as they come.  But, you are like me in the whole PREPAREDNESS gene.  Sorry, it's a blessing and a curse.  Today we'll get a scoop of ice cream to celebrate your Kinder achievement and the start of summer days.  I know it's only Kindergarten but in some ways you are growing up SO DARN FAST -- let's stretch this summer out K?  K thanks.  Love, Mama

Davies

A gorgeous day, the adorable Davies crew, golf balls, golf carts for getting around -- it's a recipe for goodness all around.  This first picture is one of my favorites from the day, there's something about it that reminds me that Summer is upon us!  Thank you Davies family for a wonderful day :)

BFF, baby style.

These two lovelies were born just days apart from each other.  Aren't they so cute?  They've just come up on their 6 month mark and were showing off their new skills of sitting upright.  Neck control?! ha! a thing of the past, they've got that down- it's all about sitting up tall and trying to reach and crawl at stuff...like a nice wide 17-35mm lens for instance :). I had so much fun taking their pictures, they were a blast!  Watch out world, wait 'till these two start walking!

Sasaki

Any shoot that involves fun people and tasty Japanese food to boot is a WIN WIN situation in my opinion.  It was great to take some family shots and then later fade somewhat into the background and capture them in their element, being with family, cooking, eating, watching the Laker game (go Lakers!), talking, and eating some more.  Here is the Sasaki family and also, them cooking their wonderful Teppan Yaki.  

9

Nine years ago today we were married in Boston, MA and partied with friends and family out in Medfield, MA.  And now, four cities and two kids later we are blessed to mark and celebrate another year of union.  Happy Anniversary Dr.Defense.  Love, wifey.
