sneak peek || hope baby belly

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

This past Sunday I went with Niki to help her out on a pregnancy shoot. We went over to Crane’s Roost Park. We got there early to scout out the spots. The dark omnious clouds looked as if they were going to rain on our parade, but we got lucky, as soon as Hope (looking super cute in all white, my fav) and her husband arrived the sun peeked its head out.

Here is just a tiny sliver of goodness that we captured during the day:

addiction wednesday || our life

Hi we are Brandy and Beau.

…Hi Brandy and Beau.

We are addicted to Word Whomp.

My lovely sister in law introduced us to this drug..um I mean game.  “The object of Word Whomp™ is to make as many words as you can from the six letters in the middle of the screen. Words must have at least 3 letters, and they can’t be proper names, abbreviations, or contractions.”

We can play this game for hours. It is our downtime. Time for us to be together and spell. We are not particularly good at it. The  little weasels or whatever they are sit there, each holding a letter, and blink their beady little eyes at us wondering if we are going to enter a word. AND THEN when we enter an incorrect word, they shake their heads at us. Little vermin! It does makes us feel really smart when we win a round! Celebrating by a “Team B-squared” high-five.

So we figured we would share our addiction with you, the first step to curing our addiction is to speak about it. I hope no one else gets hooked. : )

good morning, morning dove || our life

This morning I let Dipity and Oona, two of my pups, outside in the backyard to play for a little bit. I went back to the office to multitask, watching Dating in the Dark and editing a session. I heard Dipity barking, which is kinda unusal, unless she is barking at a squirrel teasing her on a nearby tree. So I peeked out the office window to peer into the backyard to see what the commotion was all about. Instead of finding her telling her piece of mind to one of the many pesky squirrels, she was barking at the ground. Hmm. So I call her in afraid that it might be a snake. I wonder out in my normal working attire of pjs to inspect the situation. And instead of a deadly grass snake, I found these two adorable little guys:

I think this might be their nest:

Mamma and Daddy dove keeping a close watch:

So then I think, crap, what should I do? Are they hurt? So I decided to ask Mr Google.  The research that I found states, “Baby birds are often seen fully feathered but trying to fly, with the parents nearby. These are fledglings. If they look bright and alert, it is best to leave them alone. If possible, keep cats and dogs away from the area for a few days. During this the birds will learn to fly. The parents will continue to care for them even though they are on the ground. ” I don’t think the pups are going to be too happy about not being able to play in the backyard.

So as I type this the parents are on the ground with the babies tending to them. I sure hope they fly away, but for now it’s some nice entertainment.

Awww, these two little love birds are attending separate colleges this fall. Although they will only be about 3 hours apart, it’s always nice to have great pictures of you together lying around!

We already miss you!

Since Christine already had a session all of her own, I figured Robbie needed a picture by himself.

Winter Park represent!! woop woop! This couple is arranging an all Winter Park affair for their wedding June next year. So it was only appropriate to shoot their session on Park Ave in Winter Park.  They were a fun couple to shoot and they love to smile. Sometimes I have to remind my couples to give me some pearly white action…not these two!
