Some more from Dino Park in NYC

I posted some pictures the other day of this mom and son swing dancing in the park, here are some more traditional pictures that I took that day. Could he be any cuter??

Twins in NYC - rooftop garden

Look at these cute babies! We had fun talking and getting some pictures in the garden on the roof of their apartment building. Certainly not something I see in the suburbs of Atlanta! I had a hard time narrowing down the pictures to put on my blog and I'm sure once I get back home I will be adding some from this session to my website. :-)

Swing dancing!

I did a mini session today with a wonderful mom and son. I need to get to bed; but I couldn't resist checking out some of the pictures of them swing dancing in the park. So cute!

I'm on vacation...

I'm sorry if I'm a little slow to get back to you right now; but I'm out of town with the kids. My parents and I decided to take the kids to NYC for a bit and we are doing the tourist thing. My poor husband is stuck at home working, so I have been sure to take lots of pictures. One thing that I have thought about on this trip is how important it is to make sure that you capture your kids being themselves! It is great to have smiley (often posed) pictures; but it is also important to have pictures of your kids doing their day to day things as well as the special fun things - like vacation. In that mindset, here are three pictures I have pulled up from our time around the city - one daughter at the New York Public Library, reading to some stuffed animals; my other daughter wearing her favorite new thing and my son's latest fashion statement. These are all moments and things that I want to be sure to remember for years to come. And I want to remind all of you to pick up your cameras and capture some moments; let the kids do their own thing and you snap away!

Such a fun birthday party!

I'm going to post some personal snapshots because it was such a great time and I want to give credit to the place where we had the party. My twins turned 6 and we decided to have their party away from our neighborhood. I some how stumbled across this website. I am so glad I did! The kids all had so much fun. Jessica, the girl who does the parties, was very easy to work with to get everything set up for the party. The kids loved riding the horses, doing a craft, hitting the pinata and watching the miniature horse do tricks. If you are looking for something a little different to do for your kid's party I really recommend you talk with Jessica about doing a horse party!

Having fun riding:








I got paranoid that there wouldn't be enough cake, so at the last minute I ordered the Scooby Doo cake. It turned out that I didn't need it. We had a LOT of cake left over. The adorable horse cake was made by Jessica's grandmother. :-)







Arts and crafts were a big hit!



"Biscuit" doing some tricks:






And finally, the mad dash after the pinata broke.
