Michelle and Sam

Alright so I'm a little ticked off. I just realized at some point when making the blog temps to make my uploading easier I must have screwed up the size! Which has me a little peeved since they aren't as wide as they should be. I'm also a little sad since I would love to re do it but I've already resized and and done so much that doing it again will take me hours with the amount of sessions. 

Lesson 1: Don't procrastinate! Get your blogging done so that a mistake like this could be easy to fix. 

Lesson 2: check it before doing it a hundred times. 

Lesson 3: not all short cuts are good. 

Okay now back to this adorable couple. Now I believe in fate. While I was shooting with Russia's Next Top Model, I received a text from a client saying they were interested in an engagement session. Because I was on set I waited till break to answer. In the meantime I walked into a store at the beach which we were shooting in. Little did I know Michelle (the gorgeous gal below) was the owner of the very store we were shooting in, and the very same who texted me inquiring about the E-Session! We didn't realize we had met until we had a phone conversation regarding her boat idea led to my I just shot on a boat for RNTM and I have tons of ideas.

Lesson 4: It's a small world, but Miami is much much smaller.
Lesson 5: What's meant to be will be. God always has a plan. 

Enough of me, now time to read their story as told by Michelle:

Hmm our story, well, we are both from Connecticut. Sam was actually born on a boat, and has been obsessed with anything aquatic ever since. We met when I was on Sam's friend's boat, we had pulled into the Marina where Sam was working and we immediately locked eyes, I was in love!!! It took 2 years after that initial meeting for us to actually get together. Just when we were getting cozy together I received a phone call that I had gotten a job back in Miami. Sam being the amazing person he is packed me and my saab up and drove me down to Florida, we parted ways in a tearful goodbye, saying that we were going to try the "long distance thing" After a brutal 2 months of long phone calls and not seeing each other, Sam called me and said he was moving down. We've been together ever since.---------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh love, how amazing you can be.  

Michelle and Erick were so much fun to shoot! They had great idea's that involved off-roading in their SUV and nearly gave my second shooter a concussion. But all in the name of photography right? 

Ms.M's Boudoir Session

Okay so I've expressed the love I have for boudoir but I haven't expressed how much I adore this gal right here. Mari met me many months ago when in search of an engagement an boudoir photographer. I'm pretty sure I tell the whole "how we met" story back when I posted her engagement session earlier in the year. She is so kind and even though I was not her wedding photog, I was invited to attend the wedding as a guest and helped her with many details for the wedding. Her and David are amazing together and even though he wasn't here the day we shot these he was the only thing she had on her mind, especially since we shot these the day before her wedding! It was amazing. I'm truly blessed to have met her and david in the whole process and nothing beats clients who become good friends. 

The L Family

Durring Nora and Patricks wedding, Nora's brother (whom you may recognize from the blog) approached me with thoughts of having a family session while they were in time. They were only there for a couple days after the wedding and wanted to set something up right away. We set up for that Monday following the wedding. Christian and Ricky were adorable and despite the mosquitos and hot weather they behaved like champs. Nothing beats the interaction kids especially brothers have with each other. It was too cute. 

Vanessa's Boudoir Session

Here's another example of why I love boudoir. Vanessa here was great! She new just what she wanted and went for it. She loves her tattoos since each one has a story behind it. And having them photographed was definitely a must for her during the session. 

Jackie Boudoir Seesion

There's something amazing about boudoir sessions. I'm not sure if it's the fact the that to me what makes a woman beautiful is confidence (and I always make my gals as confident as possible) or the fact they just always look so free! Not a care in the world while i'm shooting. No worrying about anything! Just being cute and sexy.

This is Jax, and I loved our session. I loved her outfits and her hat! I totally have to get one of those. 

Genesis' Twin Maternity Session

I met genesis about 2 years ago when photographing some of my longest clients and their twin girls. Now when genesis called me to tell me she too was expecting twin boys I was beyond happy for her. I couldn't believe all these twins I've been so lucky to photograph in and out of the belly. Genesis is a natural behind the lens and we laughed so much at our own silliness. And her boys (being this is a late post an all) are adorable if I may say so myself. Lots of blessings to you and yours!!!
