She takes my breath away…

I have known this beauty since she was born. Everyone is always commenting on her beauty and he mother is always quick to reply, “she’s beautiful on the inside too” afraid her daughter may soon realize just how beautiful she is and forget what’s more important. Well, with a mom like she has, I doubt that will ever be a problem. I am privileged to know such BEAUTIFUL people, inside and most certainly out;-)

 

 

 

Entourage

I had just moved into a new home, school had just begun and I was drowning in an unusually large workload leaving me very little time to shoot but this new young mom was certainly persistent in having me photograph her first born. I always love the persistent ones. Reminds me of myself.

This young family showed up to the shoot in 2 cars, mom, dad, baby, baby nurse, mother-in-law and the family dog! It was quite the entourage:-)

Ava

This shoot was such a breeze and so much fun! Baby Ava followed my lead and had this one in the bag for Mom and Dad. 3 outfit changes, 4 different set ups and not one peep out of her. I found myself having to stop short of saying “Ava Turetsky” when calling her name though…

 

This one’s been a long time comin’…

so glad to finally meet her;)

 

Color Me Crazy 2011 Workshop with Beth Jansen and Jael De Young

I was very fortunate to be able to host Beth Jansen once again for another workshop right here in the M.I.A and this time with the added bonus of having Jael De Young here as well! I love playing hostess to a bunch of eager to learn, uber talented, fun and totally crazy photographers who are all just as passionate and crazy about this stuff as I am. It was an absolute blast!
