KGP = Crazy Cat Lady!

Hey All!!

So i've finally had a day to myself where I've been able to sit down and write on my blog! THIS post is going to be pretty amazing though, so it was worth the wait!!!

Its a chilly Wednesday night in CT.  (I actually started writing Thursday and then realized its still only wednesday, thats how crazy things have been around here!!) Anyway.. Its a chilly winter night. There is still no snow in the area but It feels like its close. I"m sitting in my "office" with my mug of chocolate ice cream and my trusty assistance.

With all thats been going on in life recently... with working and photo shoots and meetings!! Its also the Holidays! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, no matter what your faith or belief and share this special time with loved ones. I know that I have!!   This is part of the craziness.


Buster.. Ciara.. Andrew.. me and Caroline would be the lovely model laying across the photo. This fantastic award winning photograph was taken by my lovely Photo Assistant Carl.

Not only has it been an exciting time of the year, but I've also been moving!!  In our new place we have two new babies! Well.. Kittens.  I've become a crazy cat lady. Andrew isn't too far behind me either.. he is pretty crazy about the cats too. I must apologize in advance for the abundance of cat photos, but honestly it can't be helped. They are so darm adorable.  They are super cuddly!  Teddy likes to curl up in a ball either on my legs or in my arms and Howie lays across your chest or sits on your shoulder.  They are strange little creatures.  They also like to sit in between the shower curtains while i'm showering and watch the water and when they fall into the tub.. I have to kick them out. Who wouldn't thunk it?

With everything going on.. I had an extra special photo shoot lined up over the Holidays.  When I was growing up I was some how paired with the Hurley Family.  Pam or as she is known to her family, Mom, had me in her daycare for basically my entire childhood and for this I couldn't be more grateful.  Not only was I well cared for.. but I ended up with a little sister Miss Katey and big brothers Sean and Ryan.    I stole this photo from Katey's facebook....


Please excuse my outfit. My mother is to blame.  Ryan was smart and got out when he could so he is not  in this photo! He doesn't have to be here to defend his outfit choices.  The rest of us.. well we are cute. Don't you try and deny it. :)

Anyway... our latest photo shoot was actually in this same location.. minus the wagon of course.  But when Pam asked me to do a family photo shoot while all her babies were home for the holidays... not even a question!!

Pam and Tim

The Family <3 

They are a good looking family.  

So there ya have it.  Things have been crazy but all good fun!!  I'm looking forward to this next year!  I'm waiting for all the good things that come with a new year and the many more photo shoots!  Enjoy whats left of 2011 and we shall see ya next year!!! 

For now.. i'm going to go cuddle with my kittens. They had a busy day! They are sleepy!

*LOVE*

Filled with extra love!

I haven't blogged in approximately 75 years, well, that might be an exaggeration.  At least thats what it feels like!  The last 3 months have been the craziest EVER.

For a brief recap..


one. We have been having weird weather. Lets talk about the freak storm we had Halloween weekend that resulted in us not having power for a week. Ew. Trees down, power lines EVERYWHERE. It was an event thats for sure!  We had to make a fridge to keep our food from going bad.. it was located out our back deck.  Out of everyone in the house, I'm pretty sure Tanner was the biggest cry baby.

The not so pretty parts.. :(

Two. Family time :) The Holidays are always fun because it allows me time to not be doing work.. and not feel guilty about it.  Then I get to do my favorite thing.. Which is simple. Hang out with my family.. (and take pictures)  At some point, my cousins take my camera and go on photo adventures too, which I %100 support! This is my cousin Carl's photograph. 

Three.  A SUPER cute baby photo session!!!!  Brayden and big brother William!  Brayden was the perfect baby. He just hung out... wide awake, not a care in the world.  Big Brother William was ready to be a part of our shoot too and was such a big help!!  These lovely young men belong to a co-worker of mine.  She had baby Brayden a couple weeks early and a couple months before I basically told her I was coming over with my camera and they should be ready! This is a little peek from our day together. 

and Last but not least... MOVING!!  I've been moving into an apartment and more importantly I have 2 new babies!!!


Please help me in welcoming the newest members to the KGP family!!

Howard.........and Theodore. Or Howie and Teddy for short!

Teddy is the sweetest (not the brightest) member of the family. But we love him just the same!!

Howard already knows that the camera is going to be in his face all the time and I think he has accepted it. :) Howie enjoys chasing stings, his mouse, the shower, and kitty treats

annnnd, Teddy thinks he is ferocious. Teddy is our little porker, we almost always find him at the food dish. He likes dangly things, chasing his tail, Horton hears a who (true story.. he watches it on my laptop), the shower and also....

Watching Tv.. 

So there you have it. I've been busy photographing... spending time with my family.. moving with my kitties and working a TON! Things are good and crazy all at once!!   

When I'm not working at the cafe, I'm taking photographs and editing and designing Christmas cards which has been a new adventure this year. But FUN! 

Stay tuned for more KGP! and 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

*LOVE*
