So the Ides of March are upon us and I have been feeling like curling up in a ball and pulling the covers over my head and hiding for a while. Oh and while I’m under the covers, I’ll add bag of chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies to my fantasy hide away. So what else is there to do when it’s a crappy March day and you are feeling blue? Throw your hair in a pony tail and head to a comfy coffee shop to get happy over some cookies, serious chatting and smiley babies. (If you haven’t figured it out, I LOVE coffee shops. It’s my comfort fix when I don’t have time or cash for a massage. Things just taste better when other people make them for you.)

Yes, it was another Erin & Preston afternoon! Poor Erin, we chat until our babies (ok, until Miles) is completely strung out and over it and then I call her 5 times on the way home to finish up the 6 million subjects we started. (If you are my friend you know I subject hop. Amy and Bobbi, am I right or am I right? Having ADD is almost mandatory to keep up with me. That is reason # 684 why I work well on my own schedule and did horribly in an office environment once upon a time. But I digress.)

So we hung out at the Friendly Fox cafe and I had heard it was a good place to take photos. So I brought my camera knowing well I didn’t have a stroller to keep Miles strapped into, so I brought it just to test the light. Well, with two cute boys, I had to do more than just take a couple test shots. So I had Erin try to wrangle the two boys in a booth while I snapped away backed up to another table on the floor. Not that I didn’t trust her arms to hold the boys, but that Miles is a pretty tricky and fast little guy so I was busy composing, (With no room to back up, ha!) changing my settings and making sure Miles didn’t slip off the booth. Hilarity ensued.

As I flipped through the pics when I got home I couldn’t help but immediately make this music video of our afternoon together. Erin tried to hide behind the boys, but my favs are when she peeked out and made an appearance. The pics aren’t mind blowing awesome photography or anything, but they melt my heart and hopefully yours will smile a bit too.

I love making videos for kids like this. I have heard from past clients that kids have gone NUTS over videos I have made for them. They watch them over and over. In a few years I think Erin and Preston will love this video!

Ok, I have to go get some work done and stop playing. Oh my goodness I had fun making this though!

Here’s one of my faves from the video:
