samantha and co.

susan came to me because someone very generous (and I won't mention her name ...ABBEY) bought her a gift certificate. I love when people give the gift of photography. you are giving something so meaningful and lasting. you are giving memories. (because we all know our fails over time!)

susan and yery are doing a great job of raising the next replacement for dora the explorer. when i say to you that samantha likes to explore, it is a severe understatement. she didn't stop the entire time during our shoot. forget p90x, crossfit, pilate and yoga...i'm going to ask to babysit sam a couple of times a week outside in the miami heat. if that doesn't take care of this extra twenty then i don't know what will? take that tony horton!

oh and also by stating that sammy has the best head of hair on any man, woman or child i've ever seen...is also a severe understatement. i experienced hair envy with a two year...how pathetic is that?

anyway she was a doll and a joy! thanks susan and yery for being "up for anything"...I LOVED OUR LOCATION!!! hope you guys are pleased.

emma...getting so big

remember emma? a b2b (bellies to babies) client. these babies are ripening faster than i can keep up! she's just beautiful and really enjoyed her time at the park...her park. :)

wowie schmowie...what a looker

this is mia and one of the prettiest little girls i've ever photographed. her mom is a new b2b client (bellies to babies)...package details on my website under the products category. look for a pretty cute sibling to come soon. mom is a very busy neonatologist and dad...an attorney.



mia was laying on mommy's belly and the baby moved...check out her face when she felt it! (glad I got it)





beauty...




thanks kara for humoring me! (I love it and think it's website worthy!)

what i love

(in no particular order)

the way my children smell after a bath

my 85 1.2 lens

my 70-200 2.8 lens

the idea of having pancakes or waffles on saturday mornings

my small town childhood

my family

when someone tells me my photographs moved them...my goal is tears. :)

spiced crispy pork belly avocado salad, watermelon salad & sweet chili sauce at China Grill...it speaks the the fancy southern girl in me!

my soul mate... the iphone

the friend relationships i've formed as an adult

my son Charlie's giggle and freckle on his chin

getting in to my bed with fresh clean sheets

my daughter zoe's heart and compassion

michy's short ribs...and mine. i think she'd approve if she tried them

bath time with the kids

everything on the menu at hakkasan!

pilot frixion erasable pens (they make a sick erasable highlighter too!)

the comfort ease of my marriage

my loyal nanny who doesn't just work for us but loves my children (and me which is not easy!)

jill and vic

going to bed with damp hair...reminds me of my childhood

to be continued...

leave me a comment below and tell me what you love

the solomon family

so i first have to thank mariel for sending these guys my way. they were so much fun. we meet for an early morning miami heat shoot. i'm still sweating four days later! and i think i got my first kiss on this shoot. thank you brooke! staci, hope you were able to relax and enjoy. i actually gave them about ten minutes of free babysitting. i know that's not nearly enough! enjoy!

i love how matthew is holding her back. :)










yummy!

roger and co.

meet roger. my bff's daddy-o. rouli and laura really had some fun at the end of this shoot and if they ever need a career to fall back on they could always run away and join the circus as tight rope walkers! :) thanks guys and enjoy!
