As you all know Caitlin just can't stop workin the camera. Here are some shots from Saturday's shoot. She loves to make sure the lighting is right and I love to take her pictures.

Caitlin & Mia Christmas Pics

2008-12-03T09:48:00.000-08:00

We attempted to get some "Christmas Pictures" done of the girls so we can use them for cards this year....but it didn't quite turn out like we had envisioned. But...we have to go with the flow of the kids, right?

Caitlin had a hard time doing a natural smile, so to loosen her up a bit we had her dance across the set and she couldn't make it without laughing uncontrollably. But they turned out to be some awesome (and funny) pictures. You just wanna laugh right along with her when you watch them.

Mia is our non-camera girl although she is getting a little better. She is starting to mimic what she sees others doing in Mom and Dad's photo shoots! For instance, laying on the ground, flipping her hair and wild clapping! You will see the many mischievous, funny and adorable sides of Mia in the pictures below.

Jordan & Cassie

2008-12-03T09:38:00.000-08:00

We finally found some spare time to take Jordan and Cassie to the studio to shoot some fun pics. Cassie did the girly attitude and Jordan we kind of pushed to the rough urban look, which was funny with his checked shirt and camo hat. But we had fun and it was a well overdue shoot for the kids.

Enjoy the slide show below.

Mia's 2nd Birthday on Turkey Day

2008-11-29T07:36:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family this year. And how great to have a Birthday Party the same night.

Some pictures of the kids and Mia opening some of her gifts. The last few are Caitlin sleeping in Mia's new tent with her Sleeping Mask on. How crazy are these kids. Jordan, Cassie & Jared had a great time hanging with each other.

Camping Last Weekend

2008-10-09T09:50:00.001-07:00

The Bakley family decided after the camping trip in September at Pine Cradle Lake that camping was a good time for the family. Except for the things like Mia not sleeping in a tent without the pack and play, tenting on a hill was a bit challenging in the morning when we all woke up in a pile. I still don't understand why they make sleeping bags out of the most slippery material in the world. Oh the 3:00 a.m. walk to bathroom and the 5:30 a.m. wake up from the folks fishing and whispering loud enough to wake us. Anyway we actually enjoyed ourselves with the lack of cell phones and email we got away for awhile.

A few weeks ago we bought a 25ft travel trailer (camper) which can now be a (doghouse) if needed when Mark is bad or a get away when the kids are crazy. We had to make one trip this year before the cold season set in and we had a great time. We took Harley & Megan (our Lab & Lab/Springer mix) and they were so happy to be with us outside for a whole weekend. Things like a heater and hot water are just so nice, it's not really camping in some ways, but we are very excited and looking forward to many trips next year. We have actually planned our Spring Break trip with the Ortiz family and heading South to Myrtle, Beach to stay at "Pirate Land" ARRGG Matey.... More pictures of the kids can be found through the link below.

Caitlin & Mia

2008-07-24T18:17:00.000-07:00

Caitlin & Mia did there first photo shoot with the Mom & Dad today. We had a great time but Mia is the photographer in the family. She likes to sit on our lap and get behind the camera, unlike her sister who is thrilled to be in front of the camera.

Caitlin's Pre K Graduation

2008-06-19T17:10:00.000-07:00

I can't hardly believe our little girl turned 5 and she has now graduated from Pre K and passed all of the crazy things required to go start Kindergarten. Caitlin as most know loves to sing, dance and dress in her dresses, jewelry and HIGH HEEL shoes. Last week Angela went to get a hair cut and Caitlin asked if she could go and have her hair colored. Again she is 5 (did I already mention she is 5) and loves her necklaces and earring's and now can't wait to have her hair colored or highlighted. Anyway we took some pictures as all good parents should and actually have them ready to post unlike most times when we take the pictures but never share.

So here you are, as you will see Caitlin was leading the class when it came time to sing. That's our girl... and the link to more http://www.sentimentsphoto.com/blog/cailin_prek/

Caitlin & Mia - Waverly Glen

2008-05-07T10:33:00.000-07:00

We are really trying to catch up with the long overdue photos of the girls! We went up to the Waverly Glen yesterday to try and snap a few more formal photos of the girls. We weren't sure whether we would get any photos though because it was seconds after being out of the car that Mia decided to go face first into the parking lot! We did scrape our knee up a bit and got a good scrape and bump on on forehead - thank goodness our hair covered it up. She was a champ and brushed herself off and kept going!

We got great pictures of each of the girls in front of the waterfall. We tried to get some photos of both Caitlin and Mia together but Mia really wanted her own show. Boy we are going to have fun in a few more years when she really starts giving Caitlin a run for the money! We got a couple of cute ones of them together though - hopefully it will please the grandparents!

After the photos we went off to play a while and enjoy the beautiful spring day and of course Mom and Dad couldn't put the camera down just yet. Both Caitlin and Mia love to swing and our new found love rocking on the animal teeter totter things. Mia really got a kick out of the teeter totter and if you watch the slide show you see her head bobbing, her hair flying and her mouth wide open! They were too funny to not share them!

Enjoy them as much as we had taking them! http://sentimentsphoto.com/blog/050608/

May 4th Hanging with our Girls

2008-05-04T19:40:00.001-07:00

The weather in NY has been unbelievable. Caitlin & Mia both love to be outside and doing a thousand different things. Mia thinks she can do everything that big sister does and that sometimes proves to be interesting and scary. Some of the first pictures are of our Mia playing with Harley after her morning nap. Thank goodness Harley is such a laid back Lab otherwise we would have a 3 fingered little girl. We spent the day at the Art Festival and came back home to spend some quality time hanging at the house, riding the bike and other toys. But Mia has found the best playground is the driveway of stones. We finally got Caitlin to stop picking the rocks out of the driveway and now Mia thinks they are Fruity Pebbles or something.

Hope you enjoy...

Caitlin's Birthday Party at the Studio

2008-05-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

Caitlin turned the BIG 5 on April 18 and she had her party a couple of days later at the studio. We did the usual...pizza, cake, presents, games, played etc. We had a old fashioned popcorn machine and a cotton candy machine. Although, we didn't really get to enjoy the cotton candy - we flipped the switch and smoke came rolling out. We almost set the alarms off at the studio. We tried and tried and it just didn't work.

We had quite the turnout for Caitlin's first real party....we had around 5 girls and some family and friends stopped by. The fun part for the girls - getting dressed up in their play clothes and taking some pictures! They all thought they were princesses.

So enjoy some highlights of the day and the quick snapshots of the girls in their dress up clothes!
