I gave my sister a little break this weekend and had my nephews, Tony & Asar over for a fun overnight.  Between them and Amelia, the house was loud! Running up & down the stairs, jumping on the bed, music, singing, screaming etc. Even with it being like a mini zoo, it was fun watching […]

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is officially over & I survived the madness for five days…. This season for me was the best of the three that I have attended for one major reason & that is because I refused to let anyone or anything stress me out. This means that I got into no arguments […]

While having breakfast with my sweet Boo Boo, she asked me what I was doing today. I told her that I was photographing a wedding. She then asked me “why I am always taking pictures” to which, I replied I  “because it’s fun & Baba likes to make that paper.” Later, she left the table […]
