“You are such an amazing photographer and so much fun to work with. I didn’t even feel like we were on a photo shoot, just two old friends having a good time at the Arboretum. Henry had fun playing with you and I am glad you were a part of this special time in our lives. I can’t say thank you enough for these beautiful photos.” Sarah

Reaching for the stars.  Chasing bubbles in the rain.  Smashing your very own octopus cake.  Making angels in a sea of balloons.  Dancing to Rock Lobster!  Words can’t really express the joy and love we shared over this holiday.  It was a perfect birthday full of family and friends!  Unforgettable!  Love you my little Sugar Bear!  XOXO!!

Happy Birthday My Little Oceano!!!

Happy Birthday My Little Sugar Bear!!!

My hubby has launched his new endeavor Kiss The Ocean.  Never has he been so close to his heart and I’m so excited for him!  He’s offering one last portrait opportunity next Monday that will give parents enough time to order canvas prints in time for the holidays.  Portrait sessions are a great gift too!  Gift certificates are available!
