Nostalgia Portraits: Live, Laugh, Remember… bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Here's a great place to see new faces, remember old ones, and get to know a little (or a whole lot) about me. So kick back, turn on a pot of coffee, and turn up the music. Life is happening as we speak so don't miss a moment of it! I'll leave you with words someone special once shared with me:

    “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” – Dr. Seuss

Happy Happy, Joy Joy

That’s what you get when you meet Mia and Luca,  double the giggles and fun!  They were born a few days before my Ava and are at such a delicious age.  I even had a chance to capture a few with big sis Valentina who I’ve been photographing since birth as well.  I love that I’ve been able to watch this family grow and see how beautiful these babies are becoming!!!

Doubletake

Remember this family?

Well, they had another baby boy.  Little Miguel is now 2 weeks new…

Some things are just worth repeating.

The case of the big, bad strobe light…

It’s not uncommon for babies between 10 months and 2 years to develop a strong fear of the big, bad studio light.  Sometimes, they are fascinated by it, but I always look for signs of anxiety and it just so happens that my light was no friend of Mr. Aidan Parker.  As soon as we went to a nearby park, he was all smiles.  Nothing like a little fresh air, sunlight, and kids at play to scare the light demons away. ;)

Not the mama…

Any of you ever watch that show that was on a few years back, “Dinosaurs”?  It was about a family of dinosaurs where the little baby dino called the Daddy, “Not-the-mama”.  Anytime one of my girls had major “mamitis” (like we Cubans like to say), my husband pouts and starts chanting “not the mama, not the mama, not the mama!”.  It’s a running joke in our home especially since all of my girls have a special liking to their mama. ;)  Well, I was reminded of this during my session with this family.  Mr. Joshua is absolutely in love with his mama.  And the feeling is mutual. :)  I’ve so been enjoying photographing families lately!

 

Oh my word…

I have to say I’m quite smitten with Mr. Anthony.  He’s a mini Zac Efron and anybody who knows me, knows that’s a good thing (pay no mind to our age differences;)).  Every time I would edit one of these, I kept telling myself if I’m captivated by his stare, imagine his Mommy!  Oh Ana, you are in for it!  I love to watch a mom fuss over her baby boy and Ana perfected the task.  No detail went unnoticed.  We’re going to have to sit down sometime soon and discuss our plans for our children’s arranged marriages. :)  I loved that I was able to catch up with a good friend from my days as a teacher and I’m grateful to Facebook that we still know so much about each others’ lives.
