The Birthday Girl

Blog world, meet Shenny.


Isn't she a beauty? Shenny is a very dear friend to me and my family (we go WAY back). If I had to say just one word in order to describe her, it would be HILARIOUS! She truly is the life of the party and in this particular occasion, she was the reason for the party. She called me a couple weeks ago to ask me to join her and some of her special girlfriends in order to capture and celebrate her birthday. Okay, well, one of her birthday celebrations. She's my kind of gal, she celebrates her birth week! Fun stuff too. She held her birthday brunch at The Chart House in Coconut Grove. It was a beautiful morning and all her lady friends were looking way too cool in their white outfits. Food was yummy, company was great, and the birthday girl was happy...and at the end of it all, that's all that matters;)

Shenny, thank you for having me join you on such a fun and special day in order to celebrate you. I definitely believe that everyone should have a "Shenny" in their lives. Love ya girl!



Showing off the bling;)


Loving the shoes girl!




Her cutsie daughter. She is such a pretty and sweet girl.

Facebook, Actors, and some I don't know whats

Thanks to good ole facebook, I'm able to keep in touch with many people I have not seen in years and some...a decade or two. It had been quite a while that I had not seen this handsome young man. We grew up in the same church and his family and I pick up right where we left off whenever we run into each other. His mom contacted me a while back informing me that her baby boy (not so baby anymore) is acting now and was in need of some head shots for his portfolio and also some other fun pics for her. I couldn't wait to meet up with him, however, we had to wait a lil bit. He was playing a role in which he had to gain a few pounds so now, he needed to shed those pounds before the shoot. SIDENOTE: I could never be an actress, I have enough stress in my life with my weight. I could never "act" skinny:0. So yes, back to Jorge. The day finally came and we met face to face. I was so happy to see him. He wasn't a little kid anymore, he was a young man. I had such a great time shooting with him, catching up, and just getting to know this now grown up Jorgito, as we use to call him. He did great in front of the camera! An absolute natural. Despite some little bites here and there from some I don't know whats, we had a great time and the itching was worth it! I had to call his mom immediately after the session to let her know what a wonderful young man she raised. He made me proud and I'm not even his mother!

Jorge, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and I look forward to doing some other project with you in the future. You are an AWESOME young man with a wonderful personality, great talent, and good looks (lucky dawg you). God bless you in your journey and I will make sure to try and keep up with your adventures.

Check this handsome young man out!










My Absolute Favorite Pic...

Buttercup

She shared with me her desire to do this many years ago. It brought a smile to my face and I hoped some day it would happen. Happily married and ready for the next step, she and her husband decided it was now time. Time to start their family. Time to bring the joy of a special child into their lives. Time to pour in some of their love into the life of a small being. A small being that they would be responsible for the rest of their lives. The process wasn't going to be an easy one, but they were prepared. They were willing to get in line to what might be a lengthy emotional roller coaster. After many months of classes, inspections, and volunteer hours, they were now REALLY ready. However, now they had to wait, wait for that perfect special child to come into their lives. Its been about 4 months now that their waiting has come to an end. My lovely cousin Evy and her husband Anthony received a phone call asking if they'd be willing to foster a 3 week old baby girl and they couldn't get to her fast enough. Within hours they had her at home and had totally fallen in love with her. It's been both exciting and emotional for them but, things are looking very good for their little family. God willing, adoption should be final very soon. Evy and Anthony, I admire the strength, love, faith, and courage that I've seen in your lives during these 4 months and am eager to celebrate your happy ending with you. God bless you and your little buttercup, always.



World, say hello to Carolina's feet! lol. Due to legal issues, we cannot post pictures of her darling face just yet (adoption has to be final). But stay tuned cause Ms. Thang will make her grand debut on this blog soon!

Special Session

Lets just say it was a valentines day present for her hubby. We had soo much fun! This beauty here is a mother of two, and she looks soo good! The location was challenging due to the space but I wouldn't have done it any other way. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would. She was happy. Hubby was happy. My job was done;)

Sorry, just one. These were for his eyes only.
