Another Communion Beauty

I must have the most photogenic clients on the planet! I always say it doesn't matter whether they smile or not, it's all about the eye contact and Miss Andrea has plenty of that! I am absolutely in love with her dress as well. Her Mommy had it restored (it belonged to her aunt) and the result was just stunning. From what she tells me, her grandma made the little pearl box where she keeps her rosary. Isn't it beautiful? I'm looking forward to taking their family portraits next week!

The Face of an Angel...

Truly it is, isn't it? She even has the "Cindy Crawford" mole and all, just gorgeous. It's no wonder I kept taking close-ups! Both her sisters (yes, another family with 3 girls) are just as beautiful! I can't believe how quickly the time goes! It feels like just yesterday, we were photographing big sister Dani for her communion. Without further ado, I present you with Miss Katerina (Kati) and her very angelic face...

Finally...a little GIRL!!!

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was the day I found out my friend Cristy was having a girl. It was my Mom's birthday, I was sitting in a restaurant and I started screaming and jumping up and down like a lunatic! To understand my very strange reaction, you'd have to go way back. You see, Cristy and I shared the same affliction of same sex children, LOL! I had the girls and she had the boys (the very VERY adorable boys). She only has nephews and I... well, you know about my girl fest (3 daughters and 4 nieces, NO NEPHEWS!!!) So, even today, we still think the day will come when she will go into labor and surprise, surprise, it'll be a boy. I'm not sure the repeated ultrasounds will do anything to convince her. :) So here is her "last" maternity session and we decided to go all out and make it a very GIRLY one. Yes everyone, make-up and all! ;) I'm thrilled to be a part of this and am so glad that Maylin introduced us 5 years ago my friend! You've turned out to be quite the keeper. Muah!!!

More Communion...

Here's another little beauty to add to the collection I've had the pleasure to photograph this year. I love that we were able to squeeze in a few with her baby sister. These girls all have such beautiful hair!!!

Lovely Mama-to-be!

I've had the pleasure of knowing this pretty mama-to-be since she was in middle school with my little brother! It's so great that I get to capture this time for her. I love that I'll have the honor of photographing baby Austin for his first year of life, so many sweet memories to come!!! Thank you Ivy and Juan for this privilege and may the next 3 weeks be speedy and comfortable. xoxo
