Happy Birthday Sami





Happy first birthday Sami !  

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Sami and his entourage.  For this first photo session, Sam brought along his sister Yasmine and, his grandparents who were visiting from overseas.  Too often, we tend to  forget to include some of the more important people in our lives.  I love when I get to witness and to help preserve the relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren.  Its something really very special, and one to savor for as long as we are fortunate enough to have them.  I grew up far away from my grandmothers, making our once a year visits a time of magic. My children are also growing up to far away from their remaining grandparents.  I look at photos like these and realize how much time has passed, and what I would give to freeze time, even just a moment of it, and to have images like these to hold onto and to savor for a lifetime.      

What to Wear: Spring Inspired

Need a little fashion inspiration for your upcoming spring photo session?  I like to look at the world around me for a pallet to work with.  In this case, my window boxes!  These are the colors of the pansy's in my window boxes!  For more color pallets from nature, check out this great sight I recently discovered!  Makes me want to redo my entire wardrobe... and my entire house!
