Girls Night in South Philly 2009

In Open Collection Images, children, klm Photography, life on February 26, 2009 at 9:46 pm

Oh where do I start?! So, maybe 8 yrs ago WE aka four generations of Palestini ladies started Girls Night in South Philly. My mother’s side of the family is pretty big and mostly woman (score!). My grandparents had four daughters and one son. The Palestini kids have produced 9 grandkids and they to date have produced 9 great grandchildren and there’s still room to grow. Minus my uncles and two male cousins, out of the 9, we’re mostly females.

*Attn: family members please correct my math if I missed someone in our family…not out of the realm of possibility! *

My Grandmom is 92 going on 93 this September. Each year we get together, leave the guys behind and drink, laugh, yell, eat, dance, did I say eat, watch old movies, look at pictures and pamper each other for 24hrs.

Here’s a glance of 2009. I love you all my ladies~

Funny story. While we were eating tons of Chinese food and pizza, my cousin Denise, noticed that our Grandmom was in the living room watching the Lawrence Welk tv show. She started reminiscing about when my cousins were younger how Grandmom would watch Lawrence and they’d (my other cousins) all dress up and danced while Grandmom watched the show. Then we turned and looked in the living room and the three little ones..walking little ones.. were dancing in front of the tv for Grandmom. Total coincidence and we all started to laugh. It was really cute and of course had to be documented!!

Snow Day With Cali and Coal

In Open Collection Images, Pet on February 25, 2009 at 8:49 pm

I haven’t posted the two loves of my life in awhile, I’m a bad mom. The end of January, Lancaster, received a wonderful snow/rain/ice event (seems like that’s how winter is going to be this year). I swear the dogs can’t tell the difference and think this winter mess is a gift for them. They run out of the back door at full speed chasing each other and getting their neighborhood dog friends all stirred up. It’s quite the event! On this particular day our backyard pond was half frozen half not. Being the paranoid momma I am all I could think about was; Coal’s going in the pond first, how can I get a 65lb dog out by myself, I’m going to wreck my camera….    I should mention our pond is about 1200 gallons and 3-4 feet deep.

None of the above came true…completely. Todd was home and eventually came out to play with us, so that help solve paranoia situation number two in my head! It was still freezing rain/sleeting while we were playing but this combo didn’t wreck my camera (score Canon!) and their whole bodies didn’t fall through the ice, just some paws. Once the pond is frozen they run across that thing like it’s no big deal. Cali’s usually the first to jump over it but Coal’s the first to walk on it like he’s walking on…water….more like he’s walking on the ground. He gives me the “no big deal, mom” look and proceeds to go back and forth on the pond. This day I have no idea how they were actually standing on it (images are coming to illustrate what I’m trying to describe, you could just skip this and scroll down now if you’d like). Anyways here are the two little heart breakers who I love to death and somehow love me to death back.

Enjoy!

Mrs.C Boudoir Session Valentines Day Sneak Peak

In Boudoir, Client shoots, Portrait, klm Photography on February 4, 2009 at 11:09 pm

Mrs.C was AWESOME! Her shoot flew by and contained lots of laughs. Mrs.C’s shoot is not only for her new hubby for Valentines Day, but it’s also going to him for support and inspiration while fighting overseas. I’m truly grateful for his..her…their, families sacrifice. I’m sure this will put an extra big smile on his face and warm his heart so far away. I can’t wait to hear about his reaction! Thanks for allowing and including me in on such a great present.

I can’t wait for the update!!! Happy pre Valentines Day Mrs.C
