Behind the Scenes - The Good, The Bad, & The FUNNY!

     Not too long ago I was asked by my family, to sort through my hundreds of thousands of images, to pull some images for a family album that is being made for our great grandparents, and so I fell upon many behind the scene images that had me in all sorts of emotions-laughing, crying, spitting my coffee out! I began resurfacing so many memories I have had with so many inspirational people (especially business woman) in this industry over the past couple years here in South Florida. A handful of whom I have deeply connected with (you know who you are), turning into some of my very best friends. I didn't even begin to start taking "behind the scene" pictures until 2011, so really this is just two of my four years in the business, of PULL BACKS! These images are a collaboration of iphone pics and images from everyone; Model moms, client moms, other photographers, each other, Missy (my assistant) etc! Everyone has been so kind to always snap some amazing BHS for us, and I just want YOU ALL to know how much they are appreciated, and will always stay close to my heart along this journey of mine!!!

     You will also see a lot of the behind the scenes of our models, whom we absolutely fall in love with! They are our other half of our child fashion business and we COULD NOT do this without them. Our models really deserve a BIG THANK YOU for all they do for us! Even the models from our Persnickety shoot in NY City! You all were such troopers in the freezing cold and Sandra and I became so close with you girls over those couple days. We truly form these connections, and are so appreciative of our models and the model Mommy's for all you do for us!!! We LOVE our little girls and have really bonded with them on a level I never expected!!! Thank you to all our local models who continuously come out and shoot with us!!!

     I really hope you enjoy these Pull Backs as much as I do, and remember to capture YOUR behind the scenes too! One day, you will look back along your way, with a big smile, and remember your days as a growing artist!

***IMPORTANT NEWBORN SAFETY NOTE : NEWBORN SAFETY is our NUMBER ONE concern, and we have MUCH experience, ESPECIALLY in the great outdoors of South Florida. If you are NOT an experienced OUTDOOR newborn photographer, PLEASE don't just go ahead and try these poses and locations. We have gone through many measures, experience, and research to ensure your newborn (and children) are in the MOST safe environments and under the BEST care. XOXO

Mine and Keila's first session together......TWIN newborns!

"These are the days you might fillWith laughter until you breakThese days you might feelA shaft of lightMake its way across your faceAnd when you doThen you’ll know how it was meant to beSee the signs and know their meaningIt's trueHear the signs and know they’re speakingTo you."

My Team and the people I have worked closely with over the years in this business!

FIRST and foremost my Assistant Missy Neuwelt, who you may not see behind the scenes, but she is what makes MY behind the scenes thrive! Im DEAD serious. Missy was probably at 75% of these sessions that you see above, just helping with the "behind the scenes," even capturing a lot of the BHS iphone images for me! She also runs ALL my errands, before-during-after sessions, carries bags of clothes and accessories, answers emails, and the list goes on. I cannot thank her enough!!! Oh, and not to mention, for the use of her adorable daughter, Addison, who has been my main model for the past four years of my business! XOXO

All Our MODELS and their AMAZING Mommies! (especially our regulars-you know who you are!)
