Lifestyle: American Love, Micky & Dennis

The biggest compliment I can receive as a photographer is having my  friends hire me! When my friends compliment my work it makes me feel great, but when they actually hire me I know I have crossed the bridge of niceness and pleasantries into genuine admiration and respect for my work.

When I presented my good friend Micky with her daughter’s photos (which you might recognize from  Daddy's Girl, Ariana post ) she was so over the moon and immediately  wanted to book her own shoot with the whole family  {the BEST stamp of approval ever!!}

This modern day American family is very patriotic  and rightfully so, Dennis serves our country proudly in the United States Navy.

We knew we wanted to have these photos be a continuation of sorts from  the Lifestyle: Daddy's Girl, Ariana ,Ariana’s tribute to her father. With a bit more focus on Micky & Dennis of course, and just in time for the Fourth of July!

In anything thing I do as long as I am surrounded by true friends, I always have the greatest time and of course this day was no exception. We had so much fun. Starting  with the 45 min car ride we took to get to the location it was just laughs all the way.  I just adore Micky’s personality, whenever I am with her my stomach hurts from laughing so much. The banter between Dennis and Micky is just like Ricky & Lucy with Micky being a Puerto Rican Lucy. 

These photos show a different side of the couple, a more romantic side that was so sweet to witness.  Micky is so naturally stunning and has personality for days which compliment her equally handsome husband perfectly.

Just in time for the Fourth of July here is...

Micky and Dennis  Featuring Ariana

Thank you for always making me laugh and for being an awesome friend! Thank you Dennis for proudly serving our country.   May your family and union continue to be blessed. i love you guys!!!

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
