Update

2008-05-29T13:48:00.002-04:00

So the last few weeks have been crazy as usual. Shooting, family, friends, birthdays, seminars.....all good things and all time consuming. Well my birthday just passed and it was awesome. My beloved husband took me on a lunch cruise with my sister and her beau around Manhattan and we had sooo much fun. I got wonderful pictures which I will share soon. Then my sis and Danny made us a delicious dinner. Love them!! Sunday was a quiet day and on Monday we picked up Tori for a sleepover and birthday celebration. She is growing up so fast. She made me the most adorable turtle out of an old CD and homemade confetti and a balloon and a beautiful card. We made cookies and watched movies and played games. We also bought her a ferret...I know we are crazy!!! Sugar Cookie Schwerdt is the newest addition to the family....lol.

March 2008

2008-05-09T15:48:00.000-04:00

My nephew in his hard hat....lol. Me and Tori and Rob and Tori at our house for our "Tori" Easter. We had a ton of fun hiding eggs all over the front and backyard. She loves to hide and find the eggs she would do it all day if we let her!

January, February (and one from November..lol)

2008-05-09T15:45:00.001-04:00

Some funny face pictures we took while rollerblading in January. Tori bowling in February. The last one is actually from November 2007 but I loved that smile so I threw it in here since I missed it before.

December 2007

2008-05-09T15:40:00.003-04:00

Tori with her new Yankee jersey...she was so excited that Grandma and Grandpa bought her one. The three of us during our "Tori" Christmas. Wearing my gorgeous green turtle pin that Tori bought me. Aly and AJ concert (my parents bought Tori tickets). We had such a great time singing and dancing in our seats. It was so much fun. Lastly, Rob and I before we left for a New Year's Eve party......just the two of us went and we had so much fun and really started the year off nice.

October 2007 cont.....ok i know out of order....lol

2008-05-09T15:32:00.001-04:00

AJ and Jordan (the birthday girl!) from October 2007. We had such a blast at Jordan's Spa Party. Then you have the lovely work being done on our septic tank that would be my darling husband and my dear dad busting their butts to get it fixed.

November 2007 catch up

2008-05-09T15:26:00.002-04:00

Ok so here we go with catch up....I last left you off in October 2007.....geesh that's bad. Well here we are in November. Laurie and Frank (with baby Joseph in the belly), Me, Frank, Laurie and Christine (two of my best friends) and lastly me and Rob on Thanksgiving!

Checking in

2008-05-06T11:44:00.002-04:00

OK so I have been totally neglectful of the blog. This year has flown by and I cannot believe it is May already. WOW! I have been swamped both personally and professionally. I also had a very bad case of pneumonia that took me out of the game for quite a bit but I am back to normal and feeling inspired again. I promise to post some pictures and more information about the things that have been going on soon.

Hello

2007-11-06T09:53:00.000-05:00

Hello all,

Sorry for not being better at posting recent pictures but I have been swamped and life is going by way too fast for me. We had some septic tank issues that turned into major issues and are just about finished so that we can be back to normal. We have both been working way too much and we are trying to get everything in the house ready to put it up for sale once again. We finally got rid of our original real estate agent that did nothing for us and are in the process of signing with a new one that we really trust. Just wanted to update everyone quickly and I will post some pictures later. Hope everyone is doing well.

Halloween Party

2007-10-30T12:01:00.000-04:00

Ok so I have still been bad about posting but my computer is giving me tons of problems for getting my pictures emailed...it's getting fixed now. On Saturday night, we went to a Halloween party that was hysterical and we had such a good time. Thankfully, Fran (my hopeful sister-in-law one day:)) sent me pictures. I wanted to include a few of how outrageous we looked.

Update

2007-10-17T15:19:00.000-04:00

I have added a few more of my recent projects to my website. www.creationsbylisamarie.com

Check them out under the Scrapbooking tab!

Bad blogger

2007-10-03T11:48:00.000-04:00

OK so I have been a very bad blogger lately. I have been working on a few major projects and coming up with a fun and creative newsletter to send out to my clients and friends and family. That should be done in a couple of days. I also finally uploaded some pictures from camera and I will post them in the next day or so. We had a busy and completely enjoyable weekend with Tori. Sleeping over is so much fun for all of us. We did everything that she had been waiting for us to be able to do together. Lots of games, relaxing, playing, singing, etc!! She is a blast and such a wonderful little girl.....though she isn't that little anymore:(

She is growing up so fast and I look at pictures from just last year and compare them to now and I can't believe the difference. Height is also not going to be a problem for her. She is already up to my chest and she's only 8!!

Promise to be better about blogging more frequently.

Frank's First Birthday

2007-09-13T09:31:00.000-04:00

We went to one of my best friend's son's first birthday and it was totally amazing. The party was perfect and is going to be a wonderful memory for her and for Frank (both of them....lol). Here are a few pictures of the day.

Fran's 21st Bday BBQ

2007-09-12T09:43:00.000-04:00

So I have been having some technical difficulty with the computer these days so I am a bit behind in posting pictures but my "future" sister-in-law (wink wink) graciously sent me a few pictures from her birthday and our time with Tori over Labor Day Weekend. We finally got to give Tori her birthday presents that day as well but I will post those pictures when my computer starts cooperating! We bought her a RipStick Caster Board and she loved it. I have a ton of pictures of her on it but at least Fran got one!

Corporate Photo Shoot

2007-09-11T14:39:00.000-04:00

As promised here are a few from the corporate photo shoot. There are a few more on my website www.creationsbylisamarie.com

Corporate Photo Shoot

2007-08-31T09:04:00.001-04:00

Yesterday was an adventure. I went to work in the morning since I had some important things to take care of and then left at 12pm to do a photo shoot for a law firm in downtown Brooklyn. It took me over 2 1/2 hours to get there!!!! So frustrating! But once I reached my destination everyone was wonderful. The gentlemen and ladies were so friendly and welcoming and very easy going. We got some great shots and even got a chance to shoot a few outside by the court house. It was a ton of fun.

Then, I went to my parents and had dinner and picked up my Wedding DVD (yes a bit late since we will be married four years in September!). It was such an emotional evening watching the video. Since that time I have lost both of the grandparents and a friend's father. Such an amazing thing to see them happy, dancing and healthly. I will treasure it always!! Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Party

2007-08-29T19:14:00.000-04:00

The party went extremely well despite the heat. The guys and Emma and Fran (God bless them!) played volleyball and the rest of us just sat under the umbrella and tried to catch a breeze. We had a really good time just talking and laughing and catching up with one another. We even got to sing Happy Birthday to my Mom. It was a perfect night.

Backyard Before

2007-08-29T19:10:00.000-04:00

So we had 4 tons of rock delivered in order to landscape the backyard a bit. Here is a picture of the rock and the backyard before. I will get out there and take the after shots this weekend....lol. Rob and my Dad worked so hard carrying the rock back and forth and getting the yard in tip top shape.

AJ

2007-08-27T18:47:00.000-04:00

Can't forget my little man. AJ was so sweet that day even though he wasn't feeling well. Don't you just want to kiss that face.

Jordan

2007-08-27T18:44:00.000-04:00

So we went to see Jordan and AJ and Lisa on our way home from the Jersey shore. The first thing that Jordan wanted to tell us and show us was that she could ride a two wheeler all by herself. No more training wheels!! She is so beautiful and I am so proud of her.

Seaside Heights

2007-08-27T18:40:00.000-04:00

Well just two more from Seaside Heights. My parents and my aunt and uncle. Aren't they so adorable!!

Seaside Heights

2007-08-27T18:38:00.000-04:00

OK so here are a few pictures from Seaside Heights, our Jersey shore vacation. The ladies decided to pull a fast one on the guys by all wearing the same coverup to breakfast one morning...their faces were priceless. The bird was outside our room and had the oddest little feet...lol. We had great weather and a great vacation the only thing missing was Tori. We missed her so much but there is always next year!!

Update

2007-08-23T15:59:00.000-04:00

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. It has been so busy here. I have so much to catch up on but it will probably have to wait until Sunday. We are having a big party on Saturday (Adults Only!!) and I am so excited. It should be a lot of fun. We also went to the shore and I have some pictures to share. I have an upcoming photo shoot for a law firm's website and a major project for an upcoming bridal shower as well as a few projects for a baby's first birthday! So needless to say keeping busy. I promise to update with pictures this weekend.

Emma and Phil's Wedding

2007-08-05T19:51:00.000-04:00

We went to a wedding on Saturday night and it was soooo much fun. Emma looked beautiful and both her and Phil looked so happy. Fran was the maid of honor and did a fabulous job!! We danced and danced and had a blast. Here are just a few of the pics that I snapped during the night. I have a ton more!!!

Rob's Birthday

2007-08-05T19:41:00.000-04:00

We went out to dinner with Tori for Rob's birthday on Friday night. We took her to ELDORADO's so Rob could have corn fritters...lol. We had the waitress and the staff sing Happy Birthday to him...it was hilarious. Then we went to get Tori some more Bella Sara cards for her collection and the Miley Cyrus/Hanah Montana CD. We had a great time and we gave Rob the bracelet we bought him and he loved it!

Orangetown Park

2007-07-25T11:35:00.000-04:00

Sunday we went to Orangetown park while we were having an Open House at our home. I took a couple of pictures of the beautiful park and thought I would share them. Also, I took a bunch of Rob hitting balls at the batting cage. It was such a gorgeous day.

Victor Jason At The Park

2007-07-25T11:30:00.000-04:00

Here are a few of my adorable nephew in the park the other day. He is getting so big and had so much fun with the run of the park (there was no one else there!!).

Bridge View

2007-07-25T11:17:00.000-04:00

Ok, this is a picture I took going over the Tappan Zee Bridge. I thought the sky looked amazing so I had to capture it.

Bachelorette Party

2007-07-17T20:02:00.000-04:00

Saturday night I went to a bachelorette party for a very good friend. We had such a fabulous time. These are the only pics I could share online *wink wink*;) They had DJ Chef come and play the music and teach us how to make a bread pudding and quesadillas.

4th of July

2007-07-17T19:34:00.000-04:00

OK so I forgot to post some pics from the 4th of July. My Dad and Rob went to the batting cages and we did some fishing (unfortunately we didn't catch anything!). Then we saw the fireworks at the lake near my parents house. It was so nice and peaceful. The fireworks display was amazing as usual.

Adventureland

2007-07-17T19:25:00.000-04:00

We took Tori to Adventureland on Saturday and had a great time! She loves the rides just like her Daddy. They were two peas in a pod going on everything they could. They especially loved the water rides since it was so hot out. We even got to have a water balloon fight..it was Tori and I against Rob. So much fun!!! She is getting so big that I can't stand it. She has these great expressions and stands that she does now. I am constantly trying to capture them on film. Sometimes she gets a bit tired of the camera always snapping but she is normally a good sport!

Cherry Farm and Flowers

2007-07-11T10:06:00.000-04:00

OK, here is one more of the cherry farm and a couple of wildflowers that I thought were pretty. Hope you enjoy them.

Cherry Picking

2007-07-11T10:04:00.000-04:00

We went Cherry Picking a few weeks ago upstate and I wanted to share a few pictures with you. The cherries were delicious and we ate so many. My Mom made homemade crepes and custard and we topped them with these fabulous cherries. It was amazing. The farm was so beautiful.

Tori Swing

2007-07-11T10:03:00.001-04:00

Tori loves to be on the swing when we are at the park and I wanted to post this one that was taken a few weeks ago. She is having so much fun with her Daddy pushing her higher and higher!

AJ's Party - He's Two

2007-07-03T09:24:00.000-04:00

Saturday we had my cousin's birthday party in New Jersey. He is so adorable I can't stand it!! Here are a few shots of him with his Elmo cupcakes and his very cool shades. I will post a few more of all the adorable little ones when I have them all uploaded.

Tori's Dance Recital

2007-07-03T09:19:00.000-04:00

OK so I promised you some pictures from the recital but unfortunately, I only got two! And they aren't that good since it was 11pm and my poor little thing was exhausted from her day of activity. She was hired to do a voiceover for a radio commercial and they taped on the same day as her recital so she didn't get there until right before her first number. That's why no before pictures! She did fantastic though despite the running around. She was so adorable and danced her heart out. The last number she did was her ballet routine and that is her least favorite so she wasn't thrilled about having her picture taken in that costume. Her jazz and hip hop costumes and dances are much more like her. Well enjoy these two and if I get anymore more I will post them.

Grandma

2007-06-28T15:30:00.000-04:00

This is a picture of my Grandma, my Mom, my Sister and Me from not that long ago.

I love you and miss you Grandma.

Tori's Dance Recital

2007-06-27T11:04:00.000-04:00

Tonight is Tori's Dance Recital and I can't wait! She is doing three numbers this year and I am so proud of her. So that means three costume changes.....jazz, ballet and hip hop. I will post pictures as soon as I upload them. I'm sure she is going to look adorable. She is getting so big and it becoming the perfect little lady.

A Sad Day

2007-06-21T13:31:00.000-04:00

On Saturday, June 16, 2007, I lost my Grandmother to her battle with emphysema. She was a strong and beautiful woman that is going to be sorely missed by many. I loved her immensely and my family is still in the grieving phase. We are trying to remember all of the good times with her and keep those memories close to our hearts. I will blog again soon and promise it will be a more uplifting topic. She will be with me forever in my heart. I love you Grandma.

Aquarium

2007-06-13T16:02:00.000-04:00

Our trip to the aquarium. We had such a good time despite the rainy weather. This is one of my best friends and her adorable son Frank. And of course my Tori! The picture of all of us was taken by my dear husband Rob and as you can see we really did have a great time. We all look a little hot and tired but it was so worth it. The kids had a lot of fun and I got a few good pictures.

This week

2007-06-08T11:50:00.000-04:00

OK so this week has been a bit crazy but I am officially off and running with advertising and website set up. I will post some more pictures this weekend. I am hoping to get a bunch. It has been a slow week for me "shooting" wise. I have been busy on the tech side of things. This weekend is going to focus more on the creative side. Hope everyone has a great weekend

Sunday was Mother's Day and I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I had a photo shoot in the morning for a newly engaged couple. I will post some of the pictures once I have them uploaded.

Here are a few more of my favorites. His expressions are fantastic.

2007-04-27T12:02:00.001-04:00

Abby had a photo shoot and was such a little doll. She let us change her clothes and pose her however many times we wanted. What a pleasure to work with. Such a little angel.

2007-04-27T12:01:00.000-04:00

More of the little angel. How precious is she?? What a fun model she was.
