ethan is a b2b baby...i know... not a baby anymore. well yes he is. but look how big he had gotten. and so so cute. i'm really sad that our package is over i can only hope they continue to appreciate capturing different stages of his life and include me. you guys have be a joy and lots of fun. thanks!

the horse and cowboy...

i had a blast with this very lovely family on the beach. so great when families include the grandparents in the shoot. not sure if they realize at the time how precious these photos will be someday. thanks guys for a fun and sweaty morning! (is it decemeber yet?)














frisbee hat wearing photographer induced smiles! ( i do what i can)





love this one!!! (cause you know...you are never too old for kisses from your mommy and daddy)


a few words about nanna...she might look sweet and innocent here but don't let that fool you she almost took off my head! :)

welcome LUKE!!

the del valle family welcomed mr. luke in to the family about a week and a half ago. what a sleeper! he was super easy and just gorgeous. c sections are just plan rotten but make for some beautifully shaped baby heads :) anyway i know that many people are waiting to see photos of this little guy. luke is also the first grandson for kara's mom who was there for the shoot. thanks barb for acting as my trusty assistant today! i offered her a job but she said she didn't need one! humph! :)


he totally smiled for me so many times. gas? pee pees? poops? maybe...but you know photogs...we'll take what we can get!










jorge gets some "cool daddy points" for this one! a mama pearl flanked by her two beautiful baby pearls.

cutest redheads in miami...

i just love these little "freckleface stawberries" (great book!) anyway. the youngest is megan and a b2b baby. can you believe how big she is? here she is with her two older sisters...

is she a little nugget or what?

trains + baby bump = sexy

ok so xiomara is a friend of a current b2b client. she's having her second baby and decided to sign up for the package. (great deal)

i was very excited to shoot this maternity session from the first time we spoke on the phone, xiomara was up for anything...anything! imagine if you will, i said go buy a tutu and let's shoot on some trains! you'd be like "what"? not her. she bought a tutu! and could not have looked more amazing wearing it. pregnancy is such a beautiful time in a woman's life and she just oozes beauty, grace and sexiness! sexiness? why not! i wish i could post our really sexy shot but better not. let's just say her husband is going to love it and perhaps have a cow.

and by the way...she's a shoe designer...really chic shoes...check out her website (and get a pair or two!) by clicking on chic shoes!



my fav, fav, fav!!!

pierce...

i met pierce this morning. when i arrived he was sleeping...in just a diaper, how yummy! look at this chubby little guy...ADORABLE! (did I say little?)







guess what daddy does?



very cool house!
