MJ and Martin

Soooo... I have been mega busy these past few weeks! Mike has been working a TON more hours lately...so my job has been to back him up; meaning - do many of his house chores that he does not have time for right now! These days he works late into the night only to get up a few hours later and start all over in the wee hours...he is beat. :) He's a good provider and we know he is doing it for us. So, it's all good. But...that means less time to do other things, like take and edit pictures! I am very behind on all my post processes and have a great many shoots scheduled in the upcoming fall foliage. SO! If you are on my list - past, present or future - I know it's hard, but please be patient! :) I will get there at some point, and hopefully you will be happy with the result! What is it they put on restaurant menus about waiting longer for your meal? Something about "good food takes time to prepare..." ...or whatever... :)

Anyway, here is another family post - a mini-shoot I did back whilst on vacation with Mike's family. Mike's sister, MJ - and her boyfriend Martin, who live in NYC - were able to make it to the Adirondacks to play with us. Yay! The whole family was together...well, for about 1 day! Martin unfortunately had a work schedule that was as immovable as Jabba the Hut. So, he was able to experience the magic known as Brantingham Lake... for only about 36 hours, but it was great to see the place through his new eyes. He was like a little kid...and we all completely understood.

He had to catch the train, and they had to leave pretty much in minutes, so I asked them if they wanted a few pics of them both by the lake to remember this first time! We literally ran down to the dock and snapped away for about 15 minutes...and then he was gone! Boo. We all missed him, especially MJ, but it was fun to have him join us - better than nothing!

These guys are just so adorable together. They are both in arts professions - drama queens! And it shows. LOL...they made my job ridiculously easy, since they are the most expressive people I know. They are as expressive about their fun as they are their love. And that's a lot. :) Not eeeww-y expressive, but awwwww-y expressive. A good thing.

Hope you guys like them - and we can't wait to come down there to visit. Kisses, hugs...

I did a few montages here, since there were so many I liked that were very similar - it worked out better this way.
