{Preview} Colleen

It was a warm weekend and Colleen turned things up by being her fierce self.  I had the toughest time narrowing down which images to edit.  I wanted to edited them all... she is that good.  For now, I leave you with one smoking shot!  Which one do you like better?  Color or Black & White?

I told you she's fierce!  Go on with bad self, Colleen :) 



{Baby} Ava Belen

My sweet friend, Elisa welcomed a beautiful baby girl to her family!  I finally got to meet Ava this past week and I'm so glad I brought my camera along.  I don't photography babies or shoot indoors but there was no pressure... I simply wanted to capture Ava's sweet face!

{Personal} My friends.

I've been so fortunate to have these beautiful ladies in my life.  Even more blessed to call them my friends!  They've given so much to me and helped shape the person I am.  From learning the importance of patience and forgiveness, pushing me to live my dreams and to not settle for anything less, being my support and backbone in life, to giving me confidence and for making me smile.  I love you girls like a fat kid loves cake.  Yup... it's that serious! 

 Here are some portraits I took of them at my birthday picnic :)

{Family} Adrianna, Ana, and Aaron

There I was, on the edge of my seat waiting for The New Kids on the Block to take the stage.  Um… hello, it was their first performance together in almost two decades.  It was kind of a big deal.  Danielle and Adrianna were sitting next to me.  It was easy to strike up a conversation.  “So… who’s your favorite New Kid?” 

Danielle and I are closer in age but I clicked with Adrianna {the 13 year old}.  Between us dancing to Jesse McCartney, singing to every New Kids song, and running to Joey McIntyre… we had bonded!

Here’s to good times at the Dodge Theater!!
