I asked Monica (Miles mom) to describe Miles in 1 word and she told me “explorative” and she couldn’t have nailed his personality more on the head!! I met Monica and Miles in a small park next to the Orlando Public Library and I had no idea the afternoon that Miles had in store for me. 🙂

I have to say that Miles gave me the funnest workout! It was a thrill running all around the park behind him trying to capture the innocence of his “exploring”…

The BEST part was the review I got from Miles after the shoot.. Monica wrote to me and told me “Your sooo cool in Mile’s book!! He kept telling me ‘Mommy I like Amy’.”— AHHH it totally made my day!!! <3 You Miles!

Thank you Lesley for being my assistant for the day!!

The first thing Miles ran to was this alligator..He sat there for a while and let me get some great portraits then ran straight to the man on the gator behind him to say “Hello“…–SO CUTE!!

One of my *Faves*

Thank you orange wall for being there!!! 🙂

Another one of my *Faves*… Peek-a-boo

Miles made quite a few friends this afternoon…

He couldn’t help going to play in the water…after all its what little boys do!!

AHH– LOVE IT!

Miles was showing me how strong he was…. GRRRRRR!!!!

Who can resist that sweet face…

My favorite part of the shoot was when Miles played fetch with this little blind (YES BLIND) dog! It was amazing how she actually fetched the ball!!

Miles got “mad” at us.. or at least he wanted us to believe he was mad.. Too funny!!

Can we say model?????

Or drummer.. (just like his daddy)..

One thing I do know is that this little one is going to be a heart breaker!!! 😉

This is another baby that I was waiting to meet even before he was a peanut in the womb. I have know Jackie and Sadat for many years and even blogged about their wedding back in April 08.. Click Here to see the post.

I have photographed for the Smiths on many occasion ( planned parties, engagement, bridal shower, wedding, Diva Designz.)

sh0wn below was actually the day Jackie told me she was 3 months pregnant! –so appropriate 🙂

So about a year later Isaiah Malik Kwadwo Smith was born.. lovingly known as “ZeKe”..

Zeke was just filled with smiles from the second I got there!!  I luvzzz BIG smiles!! 😀

This has to be one of my *Faves* because of Sadats face..–Priceless!!

Though Sadat & Jackie  were both “broken” (Sadat with a hurt foot and Jackie sore from her 1st triathlon earlier that day) you would never tell..

You guys were great!!

I love these of Father n Son..He’s just like his daddy…

But got the “face” of his Momma… HAHA!! I LOVE IT!! Those who know Jackie know exactly what I’m talking about 😉

Jackie and Sadat just bought at BEAUTIFUL home in Ocoee, Florida.. This shot was taken in thier backyard… Told you the “rustic” sceanery would work Sadat!

Much love to Tiffany for being my trusty assistant for the day!! 🙂

Meet Antione & Antionette Poe… Yes those are their real names! –So CUTE!

I had been waiting to meet little Aydin Poe since he was a peanut in the womb. I missed his birth since I moved to NYC but was determined to photograph him as soon as I could make a trip back to Florida. I spent the day with the Poe’s at their new home in Jacksonville, Florida and got endless hours with a very alert, happy & hungry Aydin. 😉

This is probably one of my *FAVES* because it embodies the essence of the Poe’s.. LOVE IT!

Another one of my *Faves*.. So angelic!

Toesys!!!! They are sooooo little 🙂

I was obsessed with his eyes!!

Towards the end of the session Mr. Aydin fell asleep ( Ant + Ant tried so hard to keep him awake) But we still got a really cute family shot!

Don’t we all love drool! 😀

Just some details from Aydin’s room…FYI Aydin is a football player in training…

This is another one of my *FAVES*.. Poe was HILARIOUS, he was “coaching” him through the shoot and Aydin was so attentive!

Antionette got some pics of me playing with Aydin.. I Love it!! 🙂 Can I keep em?? hehe
