Parks Family

In the words of the lovable, honey-guzzling, stuffed-with-fluff bear, Winnie the Pooh… it was a blustery day when we met up with the Parks family at Safa Park for their portrait session. We decided to try for the photos anyways and I’m so glad we did!
The wind came in gusts, playfully tossing (and at times, wildly thrashing) the girls’ shiny locks. These super-sweet sisters just laughed, tossing their heads back and helping one another to straighten their tresses. As the afternoon progressed, the sun hesitantly peered out from a nest of hazy gray clouds, and the aggressive bursts of wind settled into a pleasant breeze (and Isaac and I heaved big sighs of relief). We thoroughly enjoyed our time with this fabulous family! The Parks sisters are four of the loveliest ladies we have ever met- all warm, friendly, and solid individuals who adore one another and their amazing parents! Just a few minutes with Mom and Dad, and you will know exactly where the girls get their awesomeness! Thanks, Parks family, for spending such a wonderful, blustery afternoon with us!!!
















Many people never realized the Parks are such incredibly talented jumpers!











We were so happy to find this fantastic orange wall!

Mekailian Family

We just wrapped up an adventurous spring break week in Nepal, and we're feeling (sort of) refreshed (those of you who have been to Nepal know it's amazing, but not exactly relaxing!) and we're finally finishing the editing of 5 photo sessions we had before break. Thank you clients/friends for your patience! This is the first of a wave of posts...

We had such a great time with our friends, the Mekailians, while taking their family portraits one lazy afternoon. Even their beloved pup, Tigger, got in on the photo action! Carol worked with Isaac last year and we both absolutely adore this cheerful and super-creative chica! She and her husband have two fantastic sons- both musicians who were willing to drag their instruments out into a dusty field of scrub brush for our photo shoot. It was such a fun and relaxed afternoon. We even learned about a great new beach- thanks for the insider tip, guys! We hope you enjoy your photos!!!






These guys are lucky enough to live in a fabulous villa near the Burj al Arab, so we decided to use this incredible Dubai icon as a backdrop for their portraits


Carol is such an artsy gal, I decided to experiment a bit with a few of the images...

My Dubai Niece

I get to be an honorary "auntie" to this precious little one...



I love her to pieces already!
