Another great shoot with these guys! And even more good ideas from mom!

leto...

2011-07-25T22:05:00.002-04:00

ok so are you ready? normally i don't need to prepare my readers for my blog posts but for this one i feel like i should. this is seriously one of my favorite shoots from this year. no wait this is a "career FAV"!!!

these two ooze beauty!

i can't wait to see the gorgeous baby she's growing inside! i could have honestly posted 30-40 images to my blog. not sure how in the world i'm going to edit this shoot!
thanks guys, you rocked it

THEN SOME!

i love, love, love, love this one!!!

now...remember when i asked you if you were ready...WELL are you?

brielle...YOU ARE STUNNING!

giuliana is here!

2011-07-19T18:45:00.005-04:00

what an angel giuliana was during our shoot... slept the entire time. here are some of my favorite images. (marcia...i almost burned my dinner trying to get these posted. got so carried away:))

love this new peeling skin. so pure.

this is the where's waldo shot. i mean where's giuliana.

she's yummy right? follow my blog to watch her grow. she's a b2b baby!

Max has maxed out :( boo hiss

2011-07-18T13:21:00.006-04:00

max is one of my recent b2b baby grads! and if you follow my blog you know what i'm hoping for... yep hopefully mommy get's knock up again soon! {i know, i know...i'm so inappropriate}

it's been a great year filled with beautiful shoots of max. i'm really not very creative, so when moms come to me with good ideas it makes my job so easy. the ideas don't have to be big and elaborate, so many moms get quite worked up about their shoots when it's really not necessary. my favorite shot from this shoot was at the very end. stacy whipped out this super cute tee and some hair gel and in two seconds max was transformed into "ROCKIN' DIAPER DUDE"!

thanks guys!

if this shot doesn't make the bar mitzvah video then I shall take legal action!

but wait max don't start thinking "you're all cool" need i remind you that you are wearing a diaper with that cool tee and spiked hair!

Enzo and co.

2011-07-18T13:17:00.004-04:00

all of my babies are leaving me! enzo is also a graduation b2b baby. (said while standing in a pool of tears) I'm really going to miss this guy although i have a feeling though i'll be in touch with this family in the future. (now in a much happier place:) )

did you say WARDROBE? well i'm glad you asked...enzo will never have a shortage of that!

he has certainly become a studio favorite. just ask vic and jill. victoria and i have to practically clean our desks off after prost producing enzo's shoot. drool people, that's what i'm talking about. we heart enzo! here's what victoria and i wear when editing enzo's shoots...

ok let's gets serious now. here's our boy... (look at those eyes) those eyes are going to get him so much stuff with mom!

you're dying right?

love this one!

thanks guys!!!

grady's going to be a big brother!!!

2011-07-13T14:37:00.004-04:00

here's grady, one of my b2b babies. only thing is... he's not a baby anymore! he's going to be a big brother! stay tuned to my blog to meet his little brother or sister. they are going round 2 with the b2b package. yeah!

{and they thought they were done with me:)}

here's a yummy picture his mom just sent me...wow how he has grown. just seems like yesterday that i freaked out mom and dad by sticking him on their fireplace mantel for a photo!

imagine the things i'll get away with with baby nubmer 2! ;0 (just kidding guys)

thanks guys looking forward to another fun year!

james...

2011-04-14T21:05:00.014-04:00

not sure where to start, so here goes...

1. i have been wanting to photograph this family for over a year.

2. i could have posted about 35 images to my blog.

3. this will go down as one of my favorite photos shoots EVER!

4. i wanted to take these kids home with me. good kids = good parenting. {some of these sound too much like confessions}

5. i want to look like lisa. {oh there's one. single white female? no, relax lisa:) just think you are adorable}

6. spencer had fun! {oh wait...i think they all did...but not as much as me}

7. editing this shoot was HARD! sooo many great images!!

8. look for ryan on the cover of GQ in 20 years.

9. jason? dr. hottie pa-tottie.

10. for people who have never done this before they sure were naturals and you can see how fun and in love this family is... this stuff so transfers through the images!

Thanks guys...I had a blast.

Your orderding session is going to be crazy...get ready to crack open the kids college funds! :)

2011-04-03T14:39:00.004-04:00

beauties! hair, skin...everything!

rebecca and co.

2011-04-01T19:25:00.010-04:00

rebecca's quinceañera is coming up! doesn't she look gorgeous. she was such a natural in front of the camera. we did some formal photos then moved on to family fun. (that daddy is kooky!) as i was editing this shoot my production assistant looked over and saw rebecca's mom and asked if they were sisters. (aileen, can i get a woot woot?) enjoy. i'm calling this the "beautiful skin family shoot".

meredith and co.

2011-03-31T13:27:00.003-04:00

here's meredith and her beautiful "company"! scroll down to see her with her sister amy! omg...you are beautiful!! (i want to see their mom and dad!)

amy and co.

2011-03-31T12:46:00.004-04:00

amy called me to book the b2b package and then really excited me when she said her sister was pregnant and wanted to book the package as well! ok now here's where the excitement comes in...they are due about 4 days apart! so follow the blog because... can you imagine how incredible the newborn shoots are going to be? yes we are doing them together!

seriously amy...you look stunning!!

i'm not going to tell you what this clown jeremy was up to just seconds before i shot this! naughty boy! (what fun!)

though shoting in full sun is not at all ideal...i really love this!

the byrd girls...

2011-03-31T11:21:00.010-04:00

these girls are so precious. makes you realize what a wonderful miracle twins really are!

so slammed....

2011-03-29T17:13:00.002-04:00

reyes

2011-03-25T16:33:00.007-04:00

This is one of my favorite clients...yes I play that way. sorry. anyway, check out the four generations. I would never say great-grandma's age but let me tell you she looks good! and she walks around in heels on the beach. thanks guys! hope dinner was great!

sasha and co.

2011-03-12T10:27:00.006-05:00

i recently had the pleasure of meeting this lovely family. rachel is preggers with baby # 2 and i love that they don't know what they are having. (i never had the patience to do that.) sasha is convinced that it is a girl and WILL be named after one of the disney princesses!

not tooting my own horn...oh wait yes i am! BUT most kids dig me. i must say that sasha really thought i was all that and a super sized bag of chips and the feeling was quite mutual. what a sweetie. enjoy some of my favorites from our session.

stunning...

here's my little muffin...

sasha could not reach high enough to kiss "belle, cinderella, ariel or jasmin" so she had to tug on rachel's shirt and that is soooo my favorite thing about this photo.

love , love , love...

Thanks guys for a great session!

claire

2011-03-11T14:53:00.006-05:00

claire is a graduating bellies 2 babies babe! not such a babe any more...she's grown up so fast. it has been a really joy watching her grow this past year.

glad i finally got to meet michael (claire's older brother) on this shoot. what an awesome young man.

i've really enjoyed becky and oliver as clients this past year too. hummm how am i going to continue down a path with them...oh yeah... becky needs to get knocked up again...hear that oliver? come on baby number 2 i'm waiting on you!!!

welcome emmy!

2011-03-11T09:47:00.004-05:00

meet emmy. she was such a good girl...quite the sleepy head.

i love going to houses and finding interesting things. this family had such a cool home (as you will see) this egg like container was a real "find"! doesn't she look like she just hatched!

look who! it's mr. diez!

2011-02-22T22:14:00.006-05:00

who's mr. diez? are you kidding me? is that what you just said? well he's only the best music teacher in the whole wide world...just ask anyone!

great shoot...i mean really great. this entire family is as sweet as candy. pretty sure not a mean or negative morsel in their being! hey mr. diez fyi i listened to liza and cabaret on pandora while post producing your photos and posting to the blog. thinking of you all the while.

love this one. alina looks so happy and well...ollie...clueless as to the copious amounts of love going on behind him!

look at this face!

stunning...

i love when my clients come with ideas...cause honestly there are many days when i'm all out! thanks mr. diez

thanks guys i had fun!

mas jasyn!

2011-02-22T13:31:00.003-05:00

i could honestly post 40 pics of this muffin! but here's one more that i felt was blog worthy! high key!

love, love, love these guys!

2011-02-21T17:47:00.008-05:00

ok this is one of the coolest families I know. great kids. education very important. manners like you don't know. and just all around fun positive peeps!

oooooh yeah. did i mention their ridiculous eyes?

LAUVE this one!!

no wait this one!!

Thanks guys fun morning!!

jasyn and co.

2011-02-19T11:46:00.004-05:00

this is one of my absolute favorite girls (and families) to shoot! she is so much fun and a natural...as you can see! thanks for a fun morning guys. viva fromage!

are you kidding me???? (this one is my FAV!)

we had a barrel of fun!

2011-02-15T15:35:00.005-05:00

little stella is definitely a member of the "shanna nye photography good shaped head club"! beautiful round face! what a perfect little girl.

i just love this first shot. I always struggle to come up with new ideas. when i saw this wheel barrel in the house i knew right away i wanted to use it!

enjoy this little yummy...

she looks a little mischievous...doesn't' she?

this is another favorite, there is a set of orange coaster on the piece of furniture that her big brother hugo made. peace, love and happiness...no wait: art, love, and baby...much better!

so my husband sends me this e-mail after i posted this... someone needs to keep me in line. :)

"It's a Wheelbarrow...not a wheel barrel.

Although, wikipedia says this...Some people incorrectly substitute the word "barrel" in place of "barrow" as this seems to make more sense (possibly because the cavity in a wheelbarrow resembles a half-barrel)".

"the twins"

2011-02-11T13:39:00.003-05:00

b2b babies turning one!!! it's been so much fun watching these girls grow!

Adler

2011-02-10T13:32:00.003-05:00

ok...STUNNING!

this screams "save the date" announcement! (yes these two have some pending nuptials)

hello...STUNNING again!

love, love, love this one!

thanks guys for a fun shoot!

matteo and co.

2011-02-04T19:41:00.004-05:00

i could have taken about 500 pictures of this guy...oh wait I did! do we all agree that matteo is a super cute muffin?

love this one!

thanks guys...hope you had fun!

Samantha

2011-02-04T14:18:00.003-05:00

Grodnick

2011-01-25T14:50:00.003-05:00

great shoot! look how beautiful!

jessica and co.

2011-01-21T17:26:00.003-05:00

on my! i can't even begin to tell you about the craziness of this shoot. ok maybe i can. i'll just say that the weather was not on our side. we actually got in the car three different times escaping the rain. these guys we so awesome and patient that i wish i'd had a grown up treasure box! thanks guys... in spite of the rain WE ROCKED IT OUT! take that rain!

I wanted to post one quick photo so jessica can have a good weekend. will post many more on monday. we got lots of great shots! have a great weekend guys!

seriously?? STUNNING!

OMG!

2011-01-20T16:04:00.007-05:00

i could die!

this was such a great shoot and zane gets "best boy of the year" award. i might even include 2010! and he's THREE! THREE ya hear me?... THREE! these guys are visiting from NY and I sooo appreciate that they manage to squeeze in a little shanna nye photography action every year. they are not staying in maimi so...also big thanks for the long boring drive down. hope you think it was worth it...I DO!

Oh yeah, funny story. at the end of the shoot i thought zane threw sand on my back as i bent over. NOPE a bird pooped on me! (i hear that's good luck and by the looks of these pics i'd say it is.)

And i'm so jealous, they were going to joe's for lunch. i can only hope they had a big LOBSTAH roll for me!

ENJOY! (i'm in quite the capital letter mood, can you tell?)

I LOVE this one!!! oh yes i do!

yummy cheeks anyone?

fav from the shoot. zane was posing like it was his job!

so this one pretty much breaks all "rules" of photogrpahy...well at least old school rules. i love the crop! (goes to show i'm a real rule breaker.)

ok so maybe arden is the poser!

thanks guys and enjoy the rest of your trip!

2010-12-31T12:15:00.005-05:00

kendall is the newest, cutest member of the family. not blogging much...in a hurry but i know mommy is anxious to see a sneak peek!

happy holidays...whew!

2010-12-16T10:48:00.005-05:00

i want to take a moment to express my gratitude to eveyone who allowed me a little peek into your lives this past year.

i'm blessed to have what i believe are the best clients ever!

i consider it a privilege to work with you guys and i hope that when you think of capture beautiful memories of your family you think of me!

i look forward to working with all of you again at some point in 2011!

MUAAAH!

happy holidays!!
shanna

2010-12-14T15:01:00.003-05:00

received an email this morning and this is what makes all the long hours and hectic holiday craziness worth while! "Shanna, The feedback about your holiday cards that you created for us has been just ridiculously positive. I should be writting down verbatim quotes and giving them to you for testimonials on your website! "

wooo hoooo!

2010-12-13T17:54:00.004-05:00

Let me introduce you to "Little Miss Uber Organized Patricia"! She called the studio today to book for her holiday shoot...for when? November 12, 2011!

yes one year in advance. and for that we say "THANK YOU"! And we will be sending her a $100 print credit toward her holiday shoot!!! Thanks Patricia.

I just love organized people...perhaps because I am not!

(And she's as cute as a button!)

sweet as candy!

2010-12-09T14:45:00.006-05:00

sweet, sweet, sweet! (i'm referring to the kids and candy) mommy had to leave at the end of the shoot and look what we did! shhhh!

these children really are the sweetest most well mannered children.

little know fact... i am a southern girl and my southern girl mother always said "that is a direct reflection on their upbringing"! upbringing...is that even a word? ya know...us southerners tend to just make up words when needed.

it wasn't cold...really it wasn't! :)

welcome daniela!

2010-12-07T18:08:00.005-05:00

de-lish!!!! (x...i have your birth announcement already planned in my head!!)

Daniela is a b2b baby and when i told her that we were going to have three more photo shoots during her first year...here's the little smile she gave me. click b2b to find our more about the bellies 2 babies package! go the the website and click on products.

great shoot, great family...just great great great! (yes I'm in a hurry posting)

cooper...

2010-11-18T18:39:00.006-05:00

here's cooper. i can't tell you how excited sooo many people are to meet him. so this year cooper's mom is shopping for colleges for her oldest daughter, planned an off the hook bar mitzvah for her son, leading her daughter olivia's girl scout troop (best girl scout leader EVER) and now shopping for baby goodies for little cooper. he really has no idea how lucky he is...the family that he's getting ready to join is AMAZING. an example for all families.

jenn is a bellies to baby momma...which means you'll get to see cooper when he's less than two weeks old. (i personally can't wait)

enjoy!

seriously? does this look like a belly that has already housed three other babies? i say no!

thank jenn... you are the best!

hey guys, sorry i haven't blogged for a bit, this season is the busiest season of my year.

here is the scurtis family! what a pleasure it was to shoot them.

grady walking...

2010-11-12T15:04:00.006-05:00

grady is another graduate of b2b...he's walking. hopefully he doesn't go far and i get to photograph him over the years. this is his last shoot in the bellies to babies package :( maybe mom will get herself knocked up again with a sweet little baby brother or sister that grady so much deserves! (i sound like a grandparent!)

he was a little under the weather the day of our shoot but that didn't affect his cuteness!

enjoy!!!

i love this one...how michelle's hair is blowing in the wind. gives such life and movement to the photograph

brrrrr

2010-11-12T09:47:00.004-05:00

coldest shoot this year! my toes were wet and cold. these guys were real troopers. especially isabella...she really took one for the team...no jacket most of the time. fashion first right isabella? thanks guys for a fun early morning shoot. chasing these twins around was a good way to start the day!

Lisa did a great job with the jackets. hanna andersson has always been one of my favorite kids clothing companies. great for photo shoots! check them out: hanna andersson

enjoy this super cute family!!

(miami children, kids, family, baby photographer)

fun, cold saturday morning. (miami, kids, children, baby and family photographer)

2010-11-09T14:55:00.004-05:00

great shoot with these guys. just look at them..some pretty serious beautiful gene trickle down effect going on in this family. it was a frozen miami tundra on the morning of the shoot. i think it must have been about 60! ouch! we had so much fun that it didn't even matter. enjoy!

halla!!! hot couple alert!

Thanks guys for a fun morning and go narwals!

rain rain go away. (it did not)

2010-11-06T14:38:00.003-04:00

we did not get off to a great start at least in terms of the weather. i've never experienced a family this positive and easy going. what do I mean? debbie arrive looking like a million dollars. great hair, make up and sharp dress. at one point during our shoot i looked over and she was standing in the rain with a towel over her head. what a trooper. yes i said RAIN. this was my first photo shoot in the rain. and perhaps last...not good on my equipment. and my hair? that's another story. but hey! wait! debbie's hair looked just as great when we left than when we arrived. oh yeah...the towel. she did not have my back did she? anyway these are about the cutest kids ever. thanks guys. i think the results are pretty good considering the rainy circumstances.

love this... pda!

now i know what you're thinking right about now. wait shanna. rain? really? yep...

skylar and co.

2010-11-04T13:54:00.004-04:00

skylar is here! stacey (hottest pregger ever), josh and riley have someone new to love! and boy is she lovable. she was such a good girl and once she zonked out she was OUT! enjoy. and she's a b2b baby so we get to watch her grow up a bit!

look at this face! and those eyes!! this is "miss yummy big sister".

gabby and co.

2010-10-29T09:23:00.008-04:00

meet gabby, what a doll. i've been waiting to meet her for a while. her mom is a bellies 2 babies client and gabby did not participate in the maternity shoot. glad i got a few shots of her with her "sister to be" aka mom's bump. also finally met dad. fun guy who really enjoys playing with his girl....as you can see below. he does loose a few cool points cause i had teach him the airplane :)

thanks guys fun shoot. looking forward to the arrival of Daniela.

ok seriously? i LAUVE this one.

beautiful...

ethan, brady and lexi

2010-10-28T20:15:00.004-04:00

we had some serious fun in the park. i really thought though that a few weeks ago my job was about to get easier when it dropped down in to the freezing 70's but nooooo. it's now back in the 80's and 90's...hey winter...the fine folks of miami would like to know if you've fallen asleep on the job. my new uggs and super cute scarf collection is also a little concerned and becoming impatient! so yes we had fun but i must say it was another sweaty photo shoot for me. hope these guys weren't too hot.

this family is the best. ethan the oldest boy is a really good friend of my son charlie. and mom and i are in junior league together. and everyone else in the family...just cool!

enjoy...

seriously cute!

thanks guys!!

la-lo and co.

2010-10-27T17:32:00.006-04:00

this is la-lo...ok lauren. i have known both of these children since they were babies and it has been a joy watching them grow. when my son was younger he couldn't say lauren so he would call her la-lo. and unfortunately for her we still call her that. (promise we'll stop when she's in college.) anyway here she is with her insanely handsome brother!

here's nathan better knows as the kissing bandit. seriously...i love when siblings are affectionate.

yummy...holiday card shot?

handsome little booger isn't he?

thanks guys fun time!!

bailey, siena and co.

2010-10-26T14:09:00.004-04:00

what a fun family. hope you guys had as much fun as i did. by the looks of the photos...they did. gorgeous girls!

i love her messy hair!

the fancy nancy girls

2010-10-21T15:03:00.006-04:00

ok, who am i kidding? in my last blog post i said that due to this being my busy season i'd try to keep my posts short and sweet. but anyone who knows me (chatty cathy) must know that's an impossibility! so here we go. shanna ann (that's me) met emily cate and ashley grace for a holiday photo session recently. i had so much fun with this family and experienced a first...and hopefully a last. during our session at their lovely home... we were shooting and all of a sudden the sprinklers came on! and as you can imagine we all scrambled to take cover...every man for himself style!

me? well i had my camera in my hand with my favorite lens (70-200 2.8) however my camera bag was open and sitting on a bench about 20-40 feet away from me. did i panic? yep but i ran ducking and dodging the sprinklers as best i could which actually ended up not being very good at all! my hair was clear proof of my ducking & dodging abilities. i got my camera and headed for cover. camera was a little wet but daddy craig took extra good care of me with a nice dry towel. even offered me a robe. (my clothes did not escape the sprinklers very well either) very sweet of him. they really felt bad and apologized over and over. clearly they don't know how sweaty and disgusting i get on my shoots.

anyway enjoy this family...i sure did.

this is what beauty looks like!

are you kidding me? serious cuteness!

thibault and co.

2010-10-18T13:29:00.010-04:00

Ok super cute family! i'm very busy now for the holidays so going forward I will only blog one or two photos from the shoot and keep the chat to a minimum.

Yummy boy especially last photo!

maloof...

2010-10-14T10:11:00.011-04:00

maloof, maloof, maloof is on FIRE!! we don't need no water...

maria has been a client for a few years. she calls on me for all of her photography needs. she and i are both members of miami's junior league. she's very involved and i've joked with her many times that i'd love to see her in the roll of jlm pres. (the meetings would be a blast!)

she's funny, beautiful, elegant, classy, witty, entertaining and engaging. (girl crush you ask...perhaps) but in my "hetero married girl w/ two kids defense"... you'd have a crush on her too if you met her! muah maria!

she came to me because she needed photos for her new and insanely fierce blog site! if you are like me and dont have a clue as to what to wear, serve, decorate or basically prove that you have an ounce of style whatsoever...then turn to her cause lady... she's got more style in one eyelash than i will ever have!

please, not only check out her blog but become a follower. i use google reader that way when i log on it will show me any new blog post of the blogs i'm following.

muah maria!

click below if you are in need...

maloof is on FIRE!

here are some of our shots...clearly proving her great sense of style...

(here are those eyelashes with such stye!)

I would LOVE to hear from you...Which one or ones are your favorites!!!

so i think i'm the official photographer for this family. betty, brother, sister-in-law and recently grandma. this makes me happy! the best compliment a photographer can get is more business due to word of mouth. for that i'm very grateful. i met up with betty and co. this weekend and we joined the masses (right joe?) at matheson hammock. i know that every photoshoot has there and it might be over done but that doesn't lessen the fact that it is simply a beautiful beach. period! i like shooting in new and unsual places but then when i do shoot at matheson i'm reminded of its beauty and why it's so popular.

julian doing his best lemur...

future marine biologist. we couldn't keep him away from the water :)

love the mood of this one...

thanks guys!

savannah, ryan and co...

2010-10-12T12:06:00.009-04:00

so i had to start out with my favorite shot from this shoot. (it's already on the front page of my website) miss savannah is absolutely stunning! even with a snaggle tooth mouth!

but back to the family. so, so many moms call me trapped in "wardrobe H E double hockey stick"! (keeping it clean i'm sure savannah will read this. not only is she pretty but she smart too...reading at a 4-5 grade level...yup she's first grader)

so when heather said they were going to be super silly and show up in ball gowns, jeans and bow ties i said to myself "hmmm love it but how will we pull this off"? well as you can see we did! or should i say they did. and i'm not going to post some of the best shots because i'm pretty sure they will show up on their holiday card. i so totally hope heather calls me and says "oh my, i'm sooooo not good at these things and I have not an ounce of creativity in me, so shanna will you just design our holiday card? just run with it"!

anyway enough about that enjoy this beautiful family!

so high key...

i'm probably going to bite him the next time i see him! (yummy)

seriously? are yoy kidding me?

thanks guys super fun time!

stella and co.

2010-10-08T09:27:00.007-04:00

guess who's going to be a sister? STELLA!

I shot this family about a year ago. And recently lisa entered into the b2b (bellies to babies)package because her belly is going to have a baby! She looks so great but then again she always does. beautiful family guys. can't wait to meet the newest newman. (that's a mouthful)

love this one!

Thanks guys... another fun session!

connor...

2010-10-02T14:56:00.005-04:00

connor is a little over one year and walking like crazy. he leaves nothing unexplored. we have had such a great year filled with spectacular shoots. connor was a b2b package baby and his year is up with me. i soooo don't want to see him go...but there's hope! his mom is preggers. not sure if she'll do the package with baby number two...I hope so! well enjoy my yummy connor!

this is my very favorite from the day!

thanks mary, tom and connor for a fun year and lots memories!

remember these guys?

2010-09-30T13:32:00.008-04:00

adrian...the mover & shaker

2010-09-24T13:36:00.004-04:00

i meet adrian this morning and boy is he cute, sweet and oh so yummy BUT he was not falling for -OR- have anything to do with my whole "baby whisper" notion. adrian was NOT buy what I was sellin'! oh well still fun and every time i shoot the newborn session i feel so fortunate to do what love. doesn't dad look like matt lauer? and lorena looks fantastic! my jelly belly is bigger than hers! errrr!

i can tell you that almost NEVER my favorite newborn shots inclucde the parents..but not these! I love these and this one of just adrian and lorena is my favorite from the day!!!

the good news is that for our next shoot...sitting up. we don't need him to sleep! they are b2b clients so you'll get to watch this little guy grow up and trust the way he's eating??? its' going to be fast!

haiti...

2010-09-21T18:33:00.003-04:00

so it's taken me quite a while to blog about my recent trip to pétionville a commune and a suburb of port-au-prince. quite honestly i didn't know what to say. i came back and was asked by everyone "how was your trip?" how do you answer that kind of question. my response was either "amazing period OR do you have two hours?" so just said amazing.

i went there for two reasons. I was searching for why my dear friend chose to return (5 years ago) to the country where she grew up. and to help her with a wonderful business she and a friend are starting. more about that later.

when i found out that my friend was moving back to haiti, i along with many of her friends said "why?" "who would ever want to live in haiti?" during my recent trip it all became very clear to me.

haiti is a beautiful county with beautiful people. passionate people who love their county. this describes melis. she is a passionate person in love with her country. she originally returned to take over the family business. and soon found herself committed to the business and her country.

then of course after the earthquake...how could she leave? abandon the business and all of the loyal employees that have given so much over the years. they depended on her and their job.

everyday, minute, and second that she stays, she is directly affecting the lives of so many people. i'm certain they are grateful. the people of haiti are very grateful people.

ok now a little about my trip. I received the royal treatment as soon as i boarded the plane in miami. she took such good care of me down to the last minute and tears we shed as i left coming home. i was sad to leave my friend. though she lives a very fortunate life there things are not easy for her. she puts herself last right behind everyone else. i want more for her. i want her to take care of herself for awhile.

muah melis!

i loved this lady. i said to melis say something to make her laugh because the first few shots i took of her were so serious. not sure what melis said but she made her face light up...(classic meslis).

beautiful mountain side...

it's nearly impossible to find a building that did not have damage...

this was once someone's home...

the destruction is frankly overwhelming. you literally can't believe what your eyes are telling you.

tent cities: it is estimated that 2-5 million homeless people are living in tents.

this is sashita in the middle (melissa's daughter) and her friends...

in contrast of the above photos this is a classic gingerbread house .these faded gems of haitian architecture were nicknamed “gingerbread” houses by American tourists in the 1950s.

and lastly...melis...l'ange

more about the company when they launch the website! there so much more to tell. i want to help them tell the entire story of haiti. not just what the media wants you to see. will do so when they launch!

stacey and co.

2010-09-13T12:08:00.010-04:00

this was totally one of my favorite maternity sessions ever. not even sure where to begin. stacey is so photogenic and comfortable in front of the camera. riley is the most amazing two year old. two is a very tough age to photograph...not this "little lady-o"! she was more well behaved than most kids twice her age. and josh was super cool and down with having a photo shoot. which is not always the case with the daddy-o's. see below... when all of these things come together an amazing shoot happens.

thanks guys!

beautiful!!!

saved my very, very favorite for last...stunning!
