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.

Simply MARVA-lous!

Today I had such a fun time with a wonderful young lady named Marva. This beautiful soon to be thirty year old (can you believe that?) contacted me quite a while ago to book her "anytime" shoot just because she was in the mood to celebrate life. Isn't that cool? Not only is she entering a special stage in her life but she also finished her MA degree a while ago and at this point she is "just starting to enjoy life", as she perfectly put it in her first email to me. From what I understand (a little birdie told me) she is a very talented writer of poetry. I thought that was way cool. I look forward to reading some of her stuff soon;) Well Ms. Marva, you looked awesome and it was my absolute pleasure capturing you at this special point in your life. Enjoy your sneak peek!

P.S.
You totally rocked that second outfit! Those boots! Oh those boots!

The Humming Beauty

"Wait, what am I doing?" is what she asked almost every time she saw me clicking away at the camera. I tried my best to make her laugh but, I think she made me laugh even more. Whenever I asked her for a serious expression, she'd hum things. Yes, things. She was actually "asking" me something by humming. I tell you, she had me cracking up. This beautiful young lady, Jasmine, is the daughter of a very close and special friend to our family (Yes Nay, I'm talking about you;). She called me out of the blue because she wanted some special pictures of her beautiful teenage princess. I've known her since she was a baby, saw her crawling around with my nieces and nephew, and now, she's taller than me. Well, almost everyone is taller than me but that's besides the point. At any rate, it was an absolute pleasure spending this VERY HOT (sorry girls) saturday afternoon with a fun group of girls. You made me feel young again;) Special shout out to her BFF, Veronica, the beauty in the maroon shirt, and Noemi for being a wonderful assistant! Til next time! Yup, there is a part two to this session. This is becoming a habit :O

Yup...she's humming.

Just because...

Had a great time taking pics of a fabulous chic today. She's no stranger to my camera. Those two (my camera and her) have a very special friendship. Rarely a bad shot with her. Today we took some pics just because. Sometimes we just really need to do something special for ourselves and that's exactly what she did. Here's just a few of the many awesome shots. She's so photogenic!
