let me introduce you to nissa. seriously....isn't she stunning? nissa is an aspiring model, fashion stylist -[move over rachel zoe], writer, ballet dancer, beauty. while shooting her i stopped and said, "nissa...do you know who you look like?" she gave me the look that said "oh here it comes, i've heard this one before"!.....cameron diaz! but so so so much prettier. actually cameron diaz looks just like nissa. take that cameron!
sitting at my computer reviewing our shoot i can honestly say that the images straight out of the camera were incredible. i barely needed to edit anything!! but i did have such fun creating.
did i mention nissa is a senior in high school?!! she's amazing. it was such a pleasure to meet you nissa and your wonderful mom. you were the perfect model and i hope to have another opportunity to have you in front of my lens.
i went a little overboard here on my sneak peek... couldn't help it there were so many great images. hope you love them. i'll get the rest to you soon! xo

perfect light. perfect location. perfect subject. [j. muse] - for those that know my friend jenni - it's been a long while since we've had an opportunity to shoot together. i loved this session. for so many reasons - perhaps it was the laughs, perhaps it was the sense of the familiar or perhaps because our two little girls were running around laughing and playing. it was a delight. through and through.






























and of course ava and annie. the delightful twins. love them!

[two little sisters]

Two little sisters gazing at the sea
Imagining what their futures will be
The older one says as her eyes look around
I will go as far as the corners of town
I'll plant a little garden, flowers everywhere
And pluck the most fragrant for my hair...

Two little sisters gazing at the sea
Imagining what their futures will be
The younger one stands with her eyes open wide
And says I'll go as far as the corners of the sky
I'll gather all the stars each night as they appear
And pick the very brightest one to wear in my ear...

i had the pleasure of meeting this adorable family last weekend. nola and neve. two little sisters. it's always hard for a little one to "smile" on command to a total stranger, so it took a bit of time to warm up, but by the end i think we did it.

it was a beautiful fall day - a bit chilly but lovely. the girls had me running everywhere and i had such a blast.

maggie and justin, it was a pleasure to meet you both and thank you for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family.

here's a sneak peek. hope it makes you smile.
