What should we wear? I have many bookings for the next couple of months and I think about half of them asked me for clothing advice. You can do the matching (all white shirts, or all blue, etc.) but I LOVE color and texture. I have put together a couple of looks for the family. Two are from a combo of The Gap and Old Navy and the third is from Nordstrom. This is just a guide ... the best rule of thumb is to wear what you like and what you (and more importantly the kids) feel comfortable in.
Here they are ....
I am already booked through September, so if you want to schedule your family for a fall/holiday picture session, let me know! (201) 838-8894 or aliciadsimone@yahoo.com.
You would never know by these pictures, but it was almost dark outside. I was playing with the camera as the kids were running around playing a game of Manhunt on our last night in Cape Cod. I pumped up my ISO, opened up my lens all the way to 2.8, brought my speed down low and started panning. It was a fun exercise for me ... and they had a good time too!
One of the things we have wanted to do for years was the Cape Cod Rail Trail, a 24+ mile bike trail that goes through the center of the cape. Naturally, we didn't do the whole 24+ miles (more like 9, but still respectable with 2 little kids cycling with us and one on the back kicking me the entire way) and stopped for lunch at a little restaurant right along the trail.
It was nice to see another side of the cape. The lakes that dot the interior landscape are really pretty and serene and the bike trail was a nice diversion after many days on the beach.
And this one did ... two thumbs up!
One day on the beach the kids (and that includes some of the supposed adults) had a raucous water fight. Everyone had a bucket and the only thing that kept me dry was yelling "NOT THE CAMERA!!!"
My friend Jen asked me to take a quick picture of her kids and a cousin for their great-grandmother's 95th birthday present. I took a 15 minute break on Sunday from canning tomatoes and plopped all the kids on my front lawn. Voila ... Grandma is going to love it!
Blogging hasn't been high on my list of priorities lately, but it is going to get higher on my list ASAP.
I finally edited ALL the pictures from our 2 weeks in Cape Cod. 3o0+ pictures took a long time to sort through.
Here is a first set. There are so many, I am going to post a few per day.
I had to capture this RARE moment!
