saved one of my favs for last... just LOVE this image!! I kept saying she has a little bit of a Suri Cruise look...maybe it's the eyes

Meet the Fabulous-Wonderful Mrs. P and family!

I feel like I'm doing a little of "who's who" in my 5 yr old's life! Meet one of her absolutely amazing, fabulous, wonderful teachers. My little one has been at the same school for 4 years and was lucky enough to have the same teacher for her 2nd and 3rd years at the school. I thought we were in trouble when she had to move on (for a five year old, she's pretty loyal and doesn't really love change - she really thought the sun rose and the moon set because of her teacher! She was so loving and incredible with my little one) The first month was a little rough - and I think she gave the new teachers a run for their money. But I was thrilled she got this amazing teacher and her partner - they are absolutely the sweetest.

I loved getting to meet and photograph her family! (although her first name kept causing me major chest pain - I was raised to know that every teacher's first name is Mrs!!) Thanks, Mrs. P, for asking me to capture your family! and thanks even more for continuing to make S feel like a rockstar at school.

my future son-in-law!!

alright, nobody panic, they're 5!! But seriously my 5 year old came home from her pre-k class at the beginning of this year and announced that she was going to marry J - the little one in this image below. Who wouldn't have a crush on this little guy - his eyes are enough to melt any 5 yr old girl (and my guess is he'll be on the track to collecting hearts as he grows!) Both of these boys have those sweet faces - with a little bit of the twinkle in the eyes that make you want to giggle a little.

I had a blast on this session and this family was awesome - and really, I wouldn't mind them as in-laws! Thanks, guys, you were great!!




and what a cute family they are!! Love this family shot of them




truly, I live for these shots... love how sweet these boys are together and there's nothing better than capturing those moments when they're having fun

this is where the real fun is!! these two are serious about their basketball - check out those shoes!! loved this whole session...but this series of shots were some of my absolute favorites!! I love when the kids bring something they love - it just makes their faces light up and they completely forget the camera's there.

Spanish Beauties

WARNING: Extreme beauty ahead!!

Seriously, these girls are so beautiful I couldn't believe it wile I was photographing!! and they are sweet as can be! They totaled suffered through having to hear how bad my Spanish has gotten and never even complained!! They are here from Spain studying and welcoming a new little niece/granddaughter to the world! (really - living in Miami, my Spanish should be getting better, but it has definitely taken a turn for the worse and I think I actually said they should get pregnant instead of when I meant to say they should hug:!) oh dear!!





now you'll see where the girls get it from....the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...their mom is equally as beautiful!

Newness

welcome to the world!! when I arrived this little guy slept like a champ and we were able to capture so many moments... and thanks to Mom who prepared everything just as I asked!! (sorry to the dad - it really was a sauna!!! it works so great to have the house so warm that when you take off the bundling and photograph, the baby doesn't even notice and continues to sleep and let us do our work!!)

Isn't he just yummy??
