We’re in for a doubly sleepless night tonight… But, my, it’s good to have my family all together at home finally.

Congratulations to Jennifer and Ben, who hit the March 27th date exactly. No secret how they picked the birthdate… it’s exactly 6 months before their wedding day! The $100 worth of gift cards to Malone’s should be going out in about two weeks– I left them on the table in the studio before I headed back to Long Island. (Whoops.)

Mom and kids doing fine!

I wish I could say I took this shot.

My daughter was playing around on the breakfast nook this morning, hitting all the buttons on Kristina’s Macbook. Somehow, she opened up the Photo Booth application, and managed to light off the camera, which was already set to the “Glow” effect. And judging by the self-portrait two and a half year old Caroline took, I think I’m going to have some competition soon!

So, I get a call from my Mom yesterday… she needs an emergency head shot done for a seminar she’s teaching soon. So I start setting up the lights and backgrounds in my living room when… my daughter wakes up from her nap. Now I still haven’t taken my test shots, checked my exposures, or for that matter, decided if I want to use the studio flashes or just go with window light. But, my daughter needs amusement.

So… what do I do? Combine the two! (Of course, her mother would have asked me to do something about the bed head, but I was in a rush!)
