[ A. Anaiz Who’s Who ] Ashley Sumbry Blackwood

1 Comment

You know that girl who always dressed so chic, personality is so fly, and who’s smile can brighten a room? Well this is her, Mrs. Ashley “Sumbry” Blackwood. She is the girl to know! I met her back at U.C.F and our paths have been intertwined ever since.  She currently works as the Community and Public Relations agent for the New York Knicks.  The things I love most about Sumby is that she is extremely humble, loyal, and honest. She always has the best advice and she even offered me her couch for editing! Hello…. *WINNING*

Didn’t I tell you she was cool? *tee-hee*

🙂

Well Sumbry’s loving husband Jeremane emailed me that he wanted to surprise her with a photo shoot for her birthday. Now you know I love surprises! We set everything up and I gave him the task of what props would be needed (Ballons + Cupcakes). Sumbry’s sister Shantelle was also in town so of course I couldn’t miss the opportunity to get some of them together.  We shot up in our hood *Harlem* and it was such an amazing Saturday!

Happy Birthday Sumbry!

P.S You are totally GORGEOUS! #thatisall

[Portrait Sessions] Svenja

3 Comments

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’sNothing 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!! 🙂
