GTB @ J'Roos Tonight (02/28)

I'm not too crazy about promoting various bands and such unless I know they would appeal to a mass audience. Groove Time does just this. If you like Motown combined with some up-beat Jazz with a little 80's Disco style music, then you have to check out Groove Time.

I'll be at J'Roos tonight in North Haven with the band, it's an awesome night out with your significant other, the band has a huge following and is very well established. J'Roos also has some incredible food (from what I hear). So find a baby sitter and join me tonight at J'Roos!

Hailey & Griffin

Well back in 2004 I spent some time working in densitometry out in Wisconsin. While I was out there I met a really great bunch of people, and this past weekend I was out in the Chicago area and took a little drive into Janesville and of course good ole Fort Atkinson.

I haven't seen Hailey in 5 years and oh my has she grown into such a lovely young lady. This was the first time I met Griffin and he was a hoot - he kept karate chopping me, slamming my head, tossing pillows, etc. He too, was so adorable!

I also met Andrea, the newest addition to the Balmoral Foundation...

I had an excellent time photographing these guys.



























I had a great time - thanks for the big warm welcome as well..

Baby Brody!

It is so difficult for me to find the words to express this little guys family's enthusiasm during Saturday's session, it was so amazing that everyone got down on the floor with me and started rolling around!

Tracy and Joe (Brody's parents) were just so awesome to work with, they both have that edgy personality like myself, so needless to say we hit it off pretty well. Joe's sister Jen also was there and I must admit she has a great set of vocal chords. Someone remind me to make an appointment with my ENT :)

I had a great time guys and Brody is just so freaking adorable.. I have so many favorites from this session that I just can't seem to narrow them down to a handful, so here goes.

This has to be my favorite photo of all time with a 7 month old. So much character in this pose.



His tie and blue jeans were just so cute and I had to get a shot of his tiny little foot!



Brody just kept watching his Dad who was making some unique sounds along with Mommy!



Ya know Brody has to be playing on Mommy & Daddy's heartstrings! He's gonna be a handful I bet!



So much personality, its incredible. I just love this age, when it starts really coming out.





Brody is such a happy baby and this next shot displays exactly that!





Mom started walking with Brody and I just loved the expression on his face





Little super model Brody donned a Cowboy Hat!





Here are a couple little nudy shots!





Brody was protecting his assets very well - see how he just naturally covered 'em up!



Brody really really likes Mom's toes :)



This is one of my favorite expressions on Brody, kinda that devilish look tossed in with a little cheesin' it up!



This was one of the only times I didn't see Brody smiling - he was just taken in how much love he feels!





Tracy & Joe were superstars themselves - You can actually see the gleam in their eyes.



I liked this shot of Brody and Dad!







See I told you Joe had my type of personality!!!



Joe & Brody just having a special moment together.





Aunt Jen wanted a couple pics as well!



Finally here we have the whole crew (minus me) on the floor - you guys were great thanks for getting down with me.



I had a great time guys and look forward to seeing Brody grow up. Thanks again for trusting me with your precious moments.

Facebook

Well over the last several months I have had several people with whom I have worked with ask if I am on facebook... I always said no, I wasn't exactly sure what it even was and with managing the blog, the website, etc didn't know if I would have time or how convoluted it would be.

Finally on Sunday I checked it out and was amazed out how many of you I have worked with that are actually on there!

So feel free to check me out if you're on there as well and I haven't been able to find you yet!
