[ Jackie, Sadat… + baby “ZeKe” ] Orlando, Florida

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 🙂

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!!

[ The Poe Family… Ant + Ant + Aydin ] Jacksonville, Florida

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!

[ The Pacetti’s.. Again! :) ] Miami, Florida

Back in November I had the pleasure of photographing Joey and Emma’s bundle of Joy *Matt*.

Click the picture below to see their previous post.img_0020

I was lucky enough to catch up with the Pacetti’s on my most recent trip to Miami, Florida.– Just in time for Matts 6 month pictures. Matt was as cute as a button and I had a hilarious time with him. The session was so surprisingly relaxed even though we had Mady and Danny’s Wedding to go to in just a few hours (hehe). I love seeing babies grow up and witness their small milestones. Matt was alert, happy and even showed me some of his *tricks*.  When I was with him last he could barely hold his head up but now he was almost sitting up on his own. –Too cute! I just wanted to eat him up!! 😀

Many thanks to my BFF and assistant for the day Raquel Tavarez ( post to come about her DELISH cupcakes)

Enjoy!!

[ The Pacetti’s :) ] Miami, Florida

I have known Emma and Joey for some time so taking part of their first family photo was a precious moment I didn’t want to miss. We had a blast at the park and in their beautiful home. They are truly one of the cutest families I know! Matt is going to be a heartbreaker when he gets older!! 🙂

Here are some of my FAVE images from our great time together!
