The Big Top!

Meet Miss Ana Cristina! She is turning a year old and celebrating it circus style! She's got the most contagious spirit and smile, so happy. It's refreshing to see babies who smile all the time. I see it as a reflection of who their parents are and so in this case it makes sense. Mommy is one of my sisters from Zeta Tau Alpha and fellow CANE and I can't recall a time when she hasn't been smiling. So here is the light of her life...

Where I come from...

I'm a very nostalgic person. I've always been, all my life. It's probably why my business name suits me so well. My mom's always called me the family historian because ever since I was a child, I could spend hours pouring over photo albums, asking countless questions, soaking it all in. I'm not sure if the stories I heard about my grandparents were romanticized, but I do know what I witnessed as an adult with the type of love they had for each other. There are few people who can say that they've lived their life to the fullest and were able to pass on gently to the next life holding the love of their life's hand. That is how my grandfather passed, surrounded by the amazing family he put together. I think witnessing this kind of love helped me not to settle for anything and find a partner who I can create this same kind of magic with. Speaking of magic, my childhood was the most wonderful time. I must be the luckiest person alive to have such a beautiful family who loves each other with not one condition! This is truly what Valentine's Day is all about. It's not just the romance and the flowers, it's a time to count your blessings because if you look really hard, you'll find a million in your life. So I leave you with a tiny piece of my history and a BIG part of who I am. Happy Valentine's week! xoxo

Meet Mr. Julian

It seems like only yesterday, I was taking Adrian's newborn portraits. Today felt a little like deja vu especially since Baby Julian is a splitting image of his big brother (and mommy), sorry Dad. :) Maybe the girl will look like Daddy (especially since Julian's cowlick is on the side and not the middle, lol.) I digress. Julian was an absolute dream to photograph. He slept and slept and pee-peed a little on Mommy, then went right back to sleeping. And just look at all that hair!!! Let's hope it doesn't fall off. Without further ado, I introduce to you, Julian!

It's a Girl!!!

After enjoying little Kevin for over 2 years, this family is getting excited about a little girl! Ladies, take a good look at Heather, she is already 35 weeks along!!! Doesn't she look great? By the way, Heather's a talented graphic designer so if you ever need new branding or a fresh and modern logo, she's your woman!





Happy Happy Joy Joy!

That's all I got from Mr. Julian! This little chunky monkey already weighs 17 pounds! AND you should see how tiny Mommy is! I can't wait to see what he looks like in about 3 months when he's sitting up by himself. Here he is with all his delicious rolls and toothless smiles...
