Tracy and Stacey

Two of my good friends and fellow Miami Maternity Center moms, Tracy and Stacey, are expecting baby girls (their firsts) and I couldn't be more thrilled! Stacey is a few days passed her due date but she's being a trooper about it. She was really laid back and relaxed during her photo shoot last week as I told her about my own son being born a WEEK passed my due date. Yikes! Here she is looking like Buddha on a mountain.

Tracy's due date is tomorrow and quite frankly, I'm probably more nervous than she is. One of my closest and dearest friends, she was in the room with me while I labored with my son Finn. Now it's my turn to be there for her and give her all the serenity and strength she gave me on my big day. I can't wait to meet what I hope will some day be my daughter-in-law since we've already arranged the marriage between our children. Here's Tracy in the glow of her magical backyard with her peacocks looking like something out of a fairytale.

Stay tuned for baby pictures of Belen Sanchez and Andelin Kingsley Foxhoven!

They Say Rain is Good Luck

I often think that the first test of marriage is the actual wedding itself. No matter how well planned and how good the intentions are, no wedding goes off without a hitch. Shelly and Luis planned and coordinated this beautiful wedding at the Village of Wellington Community Center and transformed the hall there into something otherwordly. It was a sublime event that surprised me because I had never shot there before. I particularly enjoyed the dock/gazeebo where they were married, the colors Shelly chose for the reception, and all of the gorgeous kids that were running around that night.

Luis is also a firefighter and works with my husband at Firehouse 2. He is a sweet guy and as I said before he has passed the first test of marriage by helping so much with the flowers, the cake, and yes the discovery of their wedding photographer. They are truly a delightful couple.

George and I wish Luis and Shelly all the best.

Fall Photos

Things are starting to get busy again, but I was able to find some time last week to take some photos of Finnegan at our neighborhood pumpkin patch and then a few days later at George's firehouse in his first halloween costume--yes he was a fire hydrant. Don't ask me how we came up with the idea, but I want to thank my mom for all of the hard work she put into designing and making it for my little man.
