I do love those curves!!!

Sweet baby “O” came in today with her parents and grandma and big sister, too.  We created images similar to her sister’s that we did 2 years ago, when she was this age.  The black and white’s of baby “O” and her dad were created to hang together in their family portrait gallery.  The heavy grain on the black and white’s is intentional.  I feel like it makes it more of an art piece.  Let me know what you think in comments.  Enjoy your sneak peek, Mom, Dad and Grandma!  See you next week for all the rest.  (And, yes, grandma, we got the one you wanted!)

From pregnancy to newborn…

Liliana came to me earlier this year for pregnancy portraits as a surprise for her husband and then came back with her husband and their darling little baby boy for their first family portraits!  Take a peek…

Sweet as a button…

This child could easily be a model baby!  She came in this morning to have portraits created and was such a treasure… we changed outfits 5 times!  This is a sneak peek for mom Magda and grandma, too.  Very talented Grandma made the adorable bonnet to go with the incredible christening gown.  Can’t wait for you to see the rest next week!

Tarpon Springs Tourists…

Took a much needed day to play hooky with my husband and went to Tarpon Springs… got some wonderful images!  Take a peek!

The first two images are of the old Greek Church there, St. Nicholas.  The architecture is fabulous!  I can’t decide, black and white or color?  Give me your opinion in comments.  What could be more iconic than the boats and seagulls -had to have those.   Then there is the fun pink and green storefront and their “welcome statement” beside the entrance.  The colors just popped off the page, I loved it.  Some of the displays were set up either in rows (the shells) or just random (the starfish).  I was drawn to the repetitive patterns.  We indulged just a little with the wonderful pastries from Hella’s, can’t go to Tarpon without stopping there!  Love their store just about as much as their pastries, just something about the atmosphere there.  All those lovely pastries lined up behind glass, making your mouth water.  Can you tell we like chocolate?   And then we finished off the beaten path with the image from the old Sutherland house, one of the first houses in the area.  Lots of history here, open for tours, but not on the day we went.   I liked the colors and the symmetry and decided to make it more posterized to give  it a distinctive look.
