Lifestyle: Oh my Oh me, my Son is Three

Another year,  another birthday card photo shoot!

If you read last year’s post "not so terrible Two's...yet" then you already know that I established a yearly tradition of sending a birthday photo invitation every year, mainly due in part that our family lives in different parts of the country. By sending a photo birthday card I am able to use it as an invitation for family and friends who happen to live close by and it also serves as an birthday announcement and yearly photo to our families who live in different parts of the country.

I love doing them and I will probably continue to torment my son by taking endless  photos of him until he is an adult (lol)

Here is the world's most handsome 3 year...  Enjoy! (stay tuned to the very end to see the final product)

Simplicity at its finest !

Dear Julian,

One day you will see all the photos I take of you, and either you’ll be embarrassed or elated  that your mommy took so many photos of you while you were growing up ( my guess is embarrassed. I apologize in advance but I can’t help it, look how unbelievably adorable you are)

It goes without saying how proud we are of you. I love watching every step you take in your growth path.

In these photos you are turning 3 years old and you have a slight obsession with Toy Story  and love learning about dinosaurs. Your favorite foods are bananas, cereal bars and mommy’s brown rice and chicken balls. We celebrated your 3^rd birthday again at the zoo and all your buddies from school came and we all had a blast watching you and your friends touch a scorpion, snake and armadillo.

We love you endlessly,  Happy 3^rd Birthday Julian!!

Love Mommy & Daddy

Lifestyle: Daddy's Girl, Ariana

Since I’ve started this small venture, I’ve had the pleasure of shooting some of the most gorgeous children in the state of Virginia and my most recent model is no exception!

 Just like every mother believes, I too believe my son is the most handsome, most special little person ever.  He is my inspiration; hence the moniker of my photographic adventures.  So for me to update the photo associated with the JFP facebook account says a lot!  I would like to introduce you to the fabulous Arianna.  She has the manners, grace, and poise to match her wit and beauty.  Her spunk, tenacity, and shining personality are enough to rival any Disney/Nickelodeon kid  and gracing magazines like Babiekins Magazine.

 We had such a blast at our rendezvous this weekend and unlike most children (mine included), she did not breakdown or lose interest after 30 minutes of shooting.  Ari was the consummate professional and a true pleasure to spend a wonderful afternoon with.

                For this shoot Ari’s mother and I talked about doing a special photo for father’s day by incorporating small personal touches for Ari’s dad; I think we nailed it!  Not only did those photos come out perfect but we were able to let our hair down, have some fun, and capture her lighthearted personality and exquisite beauty.  Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of spending a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with you….

 Without further ado here is the stunning...   ARIANNA
