i always wanted to have a girl, ever since i can remember, even from the days i played with dolls i dreamed one day to have my own little girl. not only because it’s so much fun to dress them up and do girly things together but also for that special bond i think we (women) all have with our  mothers, i know, it kind of fades during our teen years, but just fortifies after that, i saw it through the years in my family, my mom had it with my “nona” (her mom) and i have it with mine.

when i was pregnant with my first baby i secretly wished i was carrying a girl so i didn’t have to worry about it anymore, of course i couldn’t be happier with my boy, but i thank god that i got her the second time around, otherwise i wouldn’t have stopped trying until i got my little pink nursery.

she was a surprise, we didn’t want to know the sex before the birth and for some reason everybody, based on the shape of my belly, predicted i was having a boy, i convinced myself and everybody else, including my own doctor, that i was in fact going to be the mother of 2 boys.

i can not express with words my feelings during the c-section when the doctor pulled that little creature out and screamed  ”it’s a girl, it’s a girl”.  i cried with emotion for 3 consecutive days and even now i just can’t believe my luck.

she is turning 2 today and i can assure you i’ve loved every single minute of it, we have in our house the happiest, funniest and most loving little girl we have ever met.

i always wanted to have a girl, i just never imagine i was going to have the girl of my dreams.

i love you my little “mushroom”

these two active, handsome boys made for a great session a couple of weeks ago, so good it was hard for me to select my sneak peeks, they were everywhere, running, exploring, jumping, just being boys and i’m glad they did, because i ended up with a fantastic candid and fun session

here are some of my favorites

so sweet… i always melt with these tender moments with mommy.

one of my favorites….

cole, ryan, kyle and melinda, it was great pleasure working with you and meeting your beautiful family…

this precious baby girl is “Harper”  one of the most beautiful and happy babies i’ve ever seen, there is not much more to add, other than she is the daughter of the coolest couple, that i’ve grown to like very much and i could stay at their place all night just photographing her. i know you will agree with me…..

yummy, yummy finger….

big brother, handsome jack….

love, love this shot…

tiffany and rob, working with you was double the fun. congratulations on your gorgeous family.

love

gaby occupies a special place in my heart and in my business, i met her when she was just days old and i’ve been photographing her for two years, i’ve recorded with my camera each of her biggest milestones, so she has become a little of mine too, i know stephanie (her mom) won’t mind that i say that, plus she was the first newborn i photographed when i just moved my business to greensboro…. these are for you my little lucky charm, it was great to spend some time with you once again….

i’ve got to say she is one of the most developed 2 year old kids i’ve ever meet, her language skills are incredible!

love!!!! these shoes

she literally didn’t stop moving during the whole shooting….

thank you very much stephanie for choosing me once more to capture this beautiful time of gaby’s live, i’ve enjoyed every minute of it

see you soon.
