Who's 4-tay?

oh my did i feel 40-tay this morning??? and i'm fairly certain i'm not the only one. sorry miami for keeping you up last night. if you heard a ruckus last night just know it was one heck of a PAR-TAY! why? michelle, ma bell turned 40 and boy did she celebrate! great party! and if you want a F-A-B-L-O-U-S party like hers then give maria a call! or just click on her name to see some of her fablousness! MARIA MALOOF EVENTS

oh and the food...AMAZING! Sorry to all you cateres out there but you know how "catered" food is...well elizabeth at relish is in a class all by her little ol' lonesome. the best catered food you will ever have!!! i dreamt about her empanadas last night!! please elizabeth leave a comment telling us what they were again? all i remember is "drizzled with a port wine and honey reduction". She is an artist with her food. A great chef!! take that daniel boulud, eric ripert, jean georges and thomas keller!! :) here's where to get some amazing food hook up: RELISH

and one more. want to look as fabu as these people?? uh huh! then check out paul right here: PAUL J. NATTER

boy do these people need to get out more and work on coming out of their shells! (seriously...it's a photographers dream to photograph people like this at events. makes our job super easy!)



really nelson...can you throw a girl a bone? you know cut me some slack? i think a few times nelson was taking a picture of me taking a picture of him...did you catch all that? (i loves me some fun people!)

julia...

julia is the smiley-est baby i have ever photographed! and so, so cute. take a look and see for yourself!






my favorite shot of the day...i could have easily photoshopped out the pieces of skin from her right wrist but...NO WAY! I love how new, organic and real it is. She is only 9 days old.






great idea kathleen!

grady...

meet grady...really, such a good boy. he slept 99% of the time i was there. here's mom and dad...remember them? grady is so cute and i can't wait to see him in about 6 months! yes he's a bellies 2 babies baby!















do you think this made mom and dad nervous?
(grandma is the super cool artist who did the fish! they frame grady well don't you think?)



when you are 7 days old photo shoots are hard work! see how pooped out he is?

how stinkin' cute is emma?!?!?!?

here's emma...a bellies 2 babies baby. and baby is she one cute baby? tell me...is it out of line for me to want to just kiss those little stinkin' cute cheeks? i am just the photographer right? guess I shouldn't... but had I stuck around for much longer i just might have!

love how serious she is in this one... look at those eyes!

this is my favorite from the day...love when babies suck their thumb. poor emma those teeth popping through are giving her a run for her money.

julie and robert...

another b&b client. very popular package. so let me tell you first what fun we had. julie was up for anything. she really "took one for the team" by laying in the sand and water at the end of our shoot... and i'm pretty sure julie spent her night like me...rushed home and showered an entire beach off!



well here they are in all of their love and gorgeousness!...

























so i asked them to walk along the shore line and robert made a comment about a silly bahamas ad...here you go robert this is for you! :)





here's the original image... (this one screams gallery wrap!)

What a Mishpacha!

love, love, love this family! we just beat the rain the day of our shoot...well sort of....ok we didn't, we got wet...but not too wet.






my favorite shot from the day... (this is so their personality!)














(thanks Julie!)

new addition to the studio...

So i've been meaning to blog this but i've been a skosh bit busy. shanna nye photography is thrilled to introduce you to the newest addition to the studio. her name is zoe. my daughter named her and ironically my daughter's name is zoe too. weird huh? anyway she's a great swimmer, loves salty foods...especially dragon rolls and nigiri! not to mention any dessert topped with mer-ingue. she loves to sing and has a beautiful voice. zoe loves humans and in fact is looking for a "handsome sailor man" to rescue her from her underwater kingdom. for some reason she is obsessed with land? might i plead with you for just a moment??? as shanna nye photography approaches the busiest time of the year jill and i will be offering a dowry to speed things up. her excessive time in the water away from the studio will just not float our boats over the next few months. so please help us find a nice young man for her. Oh yeah and most importantly scroll down and click on the link to check out her mother/slash creator!

drum roll please...i give to you... zoe in all of her beauty and glory....





(ps. she has some body image issues but nothing that a little p90x won't take care of)
