[Simple Headshots]

[ Model in the Making ]

I've been friend with Chris for quite some time now and have told him time and time again he could be making money with his looks! LOL! I know I sound like a "pimp" but I'm dead serious! Models make a good income and the flexible schedule is another plus... So in my attempts so make Chris the next Supermodel I offered to take his head shots.... What do you think guys, does he have potential?????

[ Justin Lawson]

On one of my many trips to D.C I  had the pleasure of visiting with the [Jordan] Family. They are seriously my home away from home. It was a wonderful weekend full of "Obama Fever".  

In the midst of it  all I got to see little Justin... my my my how he's grown! The last time I saw him he was only a few weeks old...He's a happy little boy.. Filled with energy and SMARTS!! He mad me laugh and even crawl all over the floor... 

Here's some pictures of our encounter. :)

One of our many times on the floor..(my fave)!

How can you resist that smile??

To bed I said... :)

[ Sydney Ming Li ]

I was so excited when Aly ( my old college roommate) told me she was bringing Sydney to NYC for her 3rd birthday. Sydney has to be my favorite little person ever! Her smile just brightens my day. I haven't seen Sydney since last her last birthday so I was thrilled to see her. I spent a few hours with Aly, Kevin and Sydney at their hotel in Times Square. I had a blast. Sydney was getting ready to go ice skating so of course I snapped a few pics.. :)

Just so excited...

Getting ready to go skating..

[ Matt + Andrew ]

I have to say that this shoot was probably one of my most memorable. These little boys were truly special and energetic.. It was fun just stepping into their world and trying to see it through their eyes. Here's a glimpse into our day.

[ Nzingha, Nzingha, Nzingha...]

I have to say up to date this was one of my favorite shoots. It was a misty and foggy day in the Big Apple and I was afraid our day of shooting would be ruined by mother nature. To my surprise it turned out to be PERFECT!!! I know Nzingha through one of my sorority sisters and I was extremely hyped to have my first photo-shoot in New York...Nzingha wanted her Senior pictures to be unique so she suggested a section of the Central Park on the Upper East Side. The scenery was BREATHTAKING!!! I have never seen the change of season and the "feeling" of fall till I stepped into that park... I was ALL smiles :)

Nzingha was a bit shy at first but quickly warmed up and took in the enviroment. With the help of my assistant Chris and Mr. Crusoe (Nzingha's Dad) we were able to get some incredible shots!! I love unpredictable days like these... Makes me fall in love with my craft over and over again.. :)

So big THANK YOUS to Nzingha, Chris and Mr. Crusoe for making my first experience shooting in the city a memorable one!!!! Ohhhh and a shout out to Class of 09'!!!

[ Stroll in the Park with Von in D.C ]

I had a great time photographing Von in one of D.C's beautiful parks. The weather was cool and breezy and the leaves were just starting to change. I love photographing "first timers" there is something great about their innocence infront of the the camera... I photographed Von for a few hours and by the end she was a pro! Can't wait to photograph her again...

[ The Pacetti's :) ]

I have known Emma and Joey for some time so taking part of their first family photo was a precious moment I didn't want to miss. We had a blast at the park and in their beautiful home. They are truly one of the cutest families I know! Matt is going to be a heartbreaker when he gets older!! :)

Here are some of my FAVE images from our great time together!

[ My Move to NYC! ]

I was looking back to a Blog I posted back in February and I made a statement saying that I was so nervous to know where I was going to be in a year. Its amazing that Its almost been a year later and I'm happy to say that I'm pleased with the decisions that I have made. As most of you know ( if you keep in touch with my life) I moved to NYC in August and have had no regrets.

I'm not saying that the move was easy or anything.. The transition was hard, since I had very little family in NY and was leaving everything I knew in Florida, but in my heart I knew I had to do it.

It was a long road to find a full time job but I am extremely happy team member of JUMP MANAGEMENT. My boss is incredible and has taught me so much about the industry! I'm still

a guppy to the "real" world of the Media Industry but it FASCINATES me!!! I'm learning the ins and outs of how and agency runs and how to represent and manage a variety of artist.

Finally ,I can say that being in NY does have its perks :) I've seen and met a variety of celebrities..It's weird because you can be walking the streets and *poof* there's Tyson Beckford or Nigel Barker.. lol..
