What did I learn about 8 year old girls?
1. They still have those fuzzy little bangs at their hairline where new hair is growing in.
2. Lip gloss is a trap for hair; and/or cracker crumbs (eaten while driving from location to location)
3. They don’t necessarily take direction well 
4. They obviously don’t need direction because they turn out super model poses I couldn’t have dreamed up. Where do they see this stuff??
The shoot had two themes – first up SUPER MODELS and then sweet little girls. They were both! All that fun – and - ice cream after! Perfection!
Thousands and thousands of years ago when I graduated from high school one of my best friends bought a ring for herself, me and our other best friend. It was a pinkie ring and it had the number “3″ engraved on it. The three of us against the world. Best friends forever!
Best friends – true friends of any kind – are what get you through. So Kayla and Jessica – here’s hoping you truly stay BFF (and looking just as beautiful as you are today).

Tonight is graduation and safe grad night at CEC, but last week I was excited to shoot some dressed up, gussied up, glamed up and gorgeous grads and their dates before their prom. Every year for as long as I can remember I have gone to watch at the gardens or the prom venue to see the beautiful gowns, hairstyles and also the fun and funky outfits people dream up to be different and stand out from the crowd. I know I also think back with lots of fun memories to when it was my turn at the prom. Best of luck to all these wonderful people as they head off with their hearts full of promise. Dream big!

Pretty dresses, flowers, an ice cream sundae, a favorite aunt to help accessorize - what more could a little girl ask for? So, so serious and thoughtful one minute, an infectious giggle the next. Absolutely beautiful in every way.
“Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon’s so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right”
To paraphrase Sweet Baby James, I’d never really been there so I just had to go. When the opportunity came up for a shoot at The Royal in the stunning Playa del Carmen I just couldn’t say no. And now, I just wanna go back!

This is the daphne bush in my backyard. Soon there will be bloodroot blooming, then my PJM rhodie, irises, forget-me-nots, violets, and so on. Spring is here early and I am in the mood to get an early start on photos sessions!

A few weeks ago Olivia and I went out into her back yard to play. What an incredible beauty she is! In a few weeks we are going to do a fashion photo shoot with her and three or four of her friends for her eighth birthday. Isn’t that a great idea? If you are interested in booking something similar for your budding model, get in touch. In the meantime, here is Olivia.
