If you are like most people you have a 9 to 5 job which makes it even worse. KILL ME!!. How the hell you put together such celebration with the time you have, take good care of your expending, and be able to enjoy...

He was so happy. For the very first time he was able to really ride his tricycle without bouncing around furniture and stopping at the rug. I can't believe how fast he is growing. Everyday he makes me realize how fast time is passing and how limited has become. Today he'll ride, tomorrow he will teach how to. Kudos big bother.

It is about doing the things you love and making people happy, that's all!
A year ago I decided to start a new project about the beauty of everyday women. The idea was very simple, to provide women of all ages and sizes magazine-like portraits sessions of their life and to save her legacy for her clan. I love the idea of portraits and the significance that the years give to the overlooked present when captured forever in a portrait session.
Here you can visit the site the Before & After gallery and look around... perhaps this is something you've been waiting for.
