I got to take pictures of Caroline while we were back in the states and just now finally got to finish editing them!  She’s is SUCH A CUTIE.  I just want to EAT her cheeks.  Is that okay???

This one’s still my favorite though:

Oh, I just love her. 

Thanks, Kelly and Clayton, for giving me the opportunity to photograph her!

We’re sitting outside and I don’t have a coat on.  Which is amazing, because we’ve had our heat on since we got back from the states.  The kids are playing. Alanna gets mad that Nora is not obeying her will, so she runs to the side of the house crying.  We don’t get up.  Nora is jumping on the little trampoline that we have.  Did I mention that I don’t have a coat on???  She’s being so cute saying, “Look at me, I’m jumping high mommy!!”  I turn to Adam and say, “I wish we had a little camera video camera combo, we’ve not gotten videos of Nora hardly at all since she was born.” Alanna is still crying at the side of the house. Nora turns around, looks at us, and pees in her boots.  The end.

I got to take this little guy’s photos the other day… isn’t he SO cute??  I’m pretty sure that he has the best hair I’ve ever seen.  Their family was such a joy to photograph!

Seriously, can I have hair like that when I grow up?? 

This is definitely one of my FAVS from my time here in the states so far.  Look how precious she is!!!  I have wanted to take pictures of her since she was born, so it was an honor to finally get to take some of her almost a year later.  Thanks Kelly and Clayton for asking me to photograph her. 

We’re still here… I’ll be updating in more detail soon hopefully.    Until then, know that the girls are happy to know that they will be having a baby brother in September.  This mother is excited for a little Barbie break once in awhile when he’s older. 

I had so much fun with these boys yesterday.  And they are all boy.  Which was really fun to capture. 

I absolutely l.o.v.e. this shot.  So much so that I couldn’t decide if I wanted to show it to you in color or black and white. So you get both.

This shot cracks me up… I asked the boys to tell me who had the stinkiest feet and they promptly replied, “DAD!”  You can see the look on Daniel’s face…  lol.

I hope that doesn’t ruin the shot for you, Jennifer. 

Seriously, I have wanted to break out this song many times upon going outside.  It is SO sunny and nice.

I got to go out and do 2 photo shoots yesterday. And we even sat in the grass. And said grass didn’t drench us. Here is the beautiful D family that I did first yesterday.  Look out for family numero dos tomorrow. 

And here is their cutie patootie baby… I just want to eat her up.

See what I mean?

We flew into this beautiful sight on Friday. 

Welcome to Boston!

On Saturday, we took a little walk through the part of Boston that we are staying in (we’re staying with a friend of ours… super nice).  We ended up in the not so good part of that little area.  Let’s just say that we walked by this hispanic guy that was yell/ talking to us.  It was strange.  Then we walked by a car that had been sprayed all down the sides by gun shots.  Nice.  

We got out of there rather quickly. 

Prior to going on our ghetto walk, we went to this really great little restaurant grocery store thing.  Janna enjoyed it, even though Donny was a little sad that the real Janna couldn’t be here. 

Nevertheless, the food was good.

Next we went to Boston Commons.  

Janna was quite impressed with the architecture. 

Whoa, Janna climbed high for that shot. Adam had to pull her down, because clearly, that little black clutch is not large enough to house her parachute. 

We continued to walk.  Adam was interested in doing a city tour.  

Janna was not convinced that this would be a bah-gin.  Turns out, she was right.  

We enjoyed the sights as we walked around.  Don’t worry, Janna was safe in my back pocket, with her legs hanging out. 

Janna was a bit worried about this, but we assured her that we’d keep her safe even though her shoulders were bare.  

The guys consulted the map…

While Janna had a little chat with this guy.

Aw, how sweet, they match.

It was Janna’s idea to go to Faneuil Hall next.  I was starting to feel rather green by this point of the day, wishing that I had not expended so much energy in the ghetto.  Not many pictures were taken. But, I do have it in mind to go back and walk around this part of Boston. 

I did however, enjoy this shot.

Janna was rather tired herself.  And cold.  So we decided to go back to the apartment and have a little rest time. 

Later that evening, we got the incredibly awesome chance to go and see the Boston Symphony Orchestra.  For free, party people.  My friend who we are staying with has a great roommate who hooked us up.  

Janna looked smashing for the evening.  

Janna was a little distracted by the theremin player.  I couldn’t blame her though.  Click here to see what we mean. 

The pianist, however, was freaking amazing.  I LOVED hearing him play.  

My friend got us into the party after the concert.  It was very fancy and had good food.  Yeah, we’re kind of a big deal now.

I have so much catching up to do.  Lots of fun and funny stuff has happened lately, so it will be coming soon!!

Here’s where we are… we arrived in America on Tuesday  after a very very loooonnnnnnnnnggggg flight over.  It was a 24 hour flight that should have only been about 12 hours, TOPS.  That’s all I have to say about that right now. 

We drove up to Panama City from Tampa on Wednesday.  And then got to Boston on Friday (last night).  

Let me just stop and say that our children were angels on the flight over.  Really they were… they complained way less than I did.  Of course, they had little TV screens on the seat in front of them for our long flight over, full of kids movies.

So, here we are in Boston.  Donny Fisher is up here with us.  Unfortunately, his better half  was not able to come, since her baby is still a bit young.  

I miss my friend and couldn’t bear for her to miss out on the fun.  So, we made this little representation of her to go and see the sites with us. 

I think she looks quite fetching, don’t you? She may be a little cold, since there still snow on the ground, but being the hot girl that she is, she decided to rough it out.  Donny hasn’t seen her yet, but I think he will be quite pleased.  

We’ve gotta run, but there will be more soon.  :)

We are coming back to the good ol US of A at the beginning of March and staying until the beginning of May.  Let me tell you, my pregnant bootie is ready for some good food.  Chick-fil-A here we come!  

Annnnddd, I am super excited to be trading in our snow for some sand!  We will most definitely be spending some time on the beach.  It will be so fun this time as Nora isn’t a baby and up on her feet.  The beach will be much more accessible.  Although, I’m still trying to work out the whole bathing suite issue…  pregnant+bathing suit= well… let’s just say, it ain’t pretty.

At any rate, I’m going to be doing photo shoots while we’re back in America.  Which I am super excited to do, because I want to be OUTside!! 

I’m offering a disk only deal similar to what I offered when we were back last year.  Since we’re back for a short time, I’m not wanting to have to deal with prints and what not.  Even though I don’t normally sell digital files, I think it’ll be the easiest thing to do.  The difference this year is that the files will only be printable up to 5×7s, with your choice of 3 files printable up to an 8×10.  If you require explanation, you can let me know.  :)  The disk will have between 15-20 digital files, in both color and black and white.  The shoot is for up to 2 hours at one location. 

And to further entice you, if you refer a friend, I’ll take 50 buckaroos off the price of the disk, OR add up to 5 more images to your disk.  If you refer 3 friends, I’ll give ya the whole deal for FREE.  Please feel free to refer on my blog to friends.  However, please advise them that my blog is mostly personal snapshots and to click for the link to my website.  Here’s the link to my site if you are having problems finding it:   www.hopemabryphotography.com

If you would like to see pricing, you can email me at hopemabry@gmail.com. As well, we can sort out dates.  There will be a few days here and there that I won’t be in Florida.  

While I’m excited to see some sand, I will say that the snow is a nice break from the rain.  We’ve really enjoyed playing it this week.  

She looks like such a girl these days!  I can’t believe how much my little girl is growing up.
