Vegas or Bust {{child photographer with a passport Vegas Nevada}}

My awesome Godson, my Mekhi love is three now.  I was lucky enough to be flown out to gorgeous Colorado for some portrait work with a lovely couple, and since i was on a roll, acting all independent and jetsetting, i added a quick jog over to Nevada on the way home to see my Vegas...

bird on a wire: thanksgiving part II {{ cincinnati dayton senior pictures }}

when you’re a girl with an older brother, and a younger brother… your pennies are always thrown into the wishing well with hopes for a baby sister.  especially after the next baby turns out to be boy, AND the next.  i almost thought they stopped making girls after me.  it wasn’t until i turned 12...

what do you say about a 26 year old like bridget beatty?
well, six months ago, you might say how gorgeous she is… how her energy for life is such a breath of fresh air…  what an infectious smile she has…  
personally i would say “there’s something about that girl that i love/we are gonna be good friends one day/i’m so...
