Yoga Warrior

Meet this fabulous red head who had this brilliant idea of doing a yoga session...in the snow! I can officially say I've worn snow boots on the beach. Who knew how sinking the sand is in the winter & hats off to her for trying to do poses on what seemed like quick sand. Definitely different then a normal dry beach. Who knew? Of course, you know this is Cleveland where the weather can go from one extreme to the next instantly. I truly didn't think we were going to have the setting she envisioned as the snow has been gone for nearly a week & it's been rainy & mucky. I knew we were suppose to get a few flurries today, but was I surprised to wake up to a little over 2 inches of snow! I think God loves yoga sessions just as much as I do. He always seems to make sure the settings are just perfect. Come meet Carissa Moon for some amazing yoga classes at One Tree Yoga & Awaken Yoga in Euclid in the Shore Cultural Center. Thanks much again to Carissa. It was a freezzzing, but definitely fun shoot. And thank you again to my dear friend Lisa Fleming for this great referral. I did my 1st yoga portrait session with Lisa earlier this Summer at the beach & it was another amazing shoot & completely opened my eyes to the beauty & skill of yoga. Lisa is the owner of One Tree Yoga. Please feel free to check out her ethereal studio. http://onetreeyoga.org/index.htm

Tina's Tiny Ballerina's

I was beyond honored & blessed to meet & photograph my dear friend Tina's preemie, newborn, identical twins Mia & Ava. They were SO beautiful & SO tiny I can't even imagine that they were smaller than this when they were born. They were simply stunning & breathtaking & beyond lovely just like their mommy. I adore both their parents & am crazy happy for them & that these lil girls have continued to grow & thrive. They melted my camera lens all morning & continue to melt my monitor as I edit the session & melt my heart as I can't stop thinking about the special morning I had with all 3 amazing girls.

It's a boy! Terribly bummed that the only photos we were given was of this. : ( Ben said it is the most important shot of course. Lily told the ultrasound dr. she wanted a brother. Soon as he turned on the monitor he said, "It's a boy." We said, "How do you know already??" He said, "It's VERY obvious." To which Lily proudly replied, "I told you it was a boy." The girls are very excited & we got to stop at Target on the way home. If you could only see though! He looks nothing like his sisters, but he is gosh darn cute. : ) A lil hottie rock prince like his daddy. His due date is still an early firework of July 3rd, but I am always induced early. He appears to be healthy & we are feeling incredibly grateful & blessed. xoxoxo

Congratulations!

Congratulations to one of my oldest & dearest friends, Tina & her husband Mate who welcomed identical twin girls, Mia Sophia & Ava Gabriella a couple months early. They have been spending much needed time in the NICU, but have continued to progress beautifully & I am very very much looking forward to doing a "newbie"/newborn session for them....& kissing their tiny tiny faces off. BIG love to this new & beautiful family. You have such a special place in our hearts.

Believe In 20eleven

Wishing us all a happy, healthy & amazing 2011!!
