[Maternity Session] Jasmine + Michael
The best gift I can give my friends is capturing the special moments in their lives.
Jasmine is a really close friend and when I found out she was expecting I was ubber excited to be an honorary auntie. 🙂     ( I’m an honorary auntie to Sydney as well, Aly’s little girl.) Therefore, I seized the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to shoot Jasmine + Michael’s maternity session ( just one week before their due date).
I promise this is my favorite maternity session to date!!
Meet Jasmine + Michael
( a.k.a the cutest couple ever)
In her belly is baby Tristan. 🙂
Jasmine you are seriously beautiful! Like seriously! 😉
Hot Mama!
These are totally real moments, real laughs.. well after Toya’s jokes of course 😉
( Toya was my assistant for the day)
I LOVE all these belly shots! ALL!
Baby Tristan was doing alot of moving.. Guess it was his way of saying hello. Can you spot him?? he.he
Thought it was so cute!
This was my favorite part of the whole session. 🙂
Of course Tristan’s God Mothers were on set. Toya (my assistant) and Vale ( the cute girl with pin curls) LOL!
We couldn’t help writing on her belly too!!!
Exactly 1 week later Tristan was born!!
On the coolest day ever!!

I treasure these mornings that i’m able to wake up with my little one.
She makes me happy 🙂
(p.s She HATES taking pictures..lol)
Happy Sunday!
[Portrait Sessions] Svenja
There’s nothing better then getting someone in front of the camera who’s not used to being in front of the camera. As a photographer its the best challenge. 🙂 Well at least to me it is. I always tell all my new clients that at the beginning of the session they may feel a little awkward but I’ll coach them through…Trust me I know its nerve wreaking to have all the attention just on you. We met Svenja on a beautiful Saturday morning ready to shoot her first real portrait session. It was so cute to see how nervous she was.. I told her have no fear, by the end of the session you will be a pro!!
And that’s exactly what happened.
Svenja you are seriously so beautiful, inside and out! Can’t wait to photograph you again!
I fell in love with her Louboutin’s
Nothing prettier then light in the eyes!
Love these!!! Her eyes were AMAZING!
And the coolest part of the day was getting some shots on her Harley.
Yes! Thats HER Harley! 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thank you to Judie for being such a fabulous assistant!! 🙂
[ NYC Engagement ] Elizabeth + James
I have known Elizabeth for many many years. She was good friends with Raquel so whenever she had birthday parties Elizabeth and her sister Michelle were always there. Elizabeth contacted me and let me know she and her boyfriend were coming into town and she wanted to do a casual shoot of their experience in the city. Of course I agreed and we set the date. Something in my gut told me that this trip would be extra special and of course I was right. 🙂 We met on Sunday morning and with a big smile on her face Elizabeth announced.
WERE ENGAGED!
James had quietly planned everything with the help of the Omni Hotel and surprised Elizabeth the night before.
Thanks you guys for letting me capturing this special moment!
You did good James! 😉 *BLING*
You would think we were up in the mountain… shhhhhh Central Park 😉
My *rock*. We not my rock…but I LOVEEE this view!
What was even more fantastic was a group of tourist watching us the whole time. I told them on the count of three to cheer for the newly engaged couple! 😀
I love NY!
Do you see the way he looks at her!!!! *Love*
It was just a perfect Sunday!! 🙂
