Palm Beach County Photographer Documents Three Rockstar Mom-to-Be's

PLEASE READ:New Times Magazine article.

So we did this photoshoot a couple months ago. The girls were amazing and so full of energy! Thank you to each of them for allowing me to document this special time in their lives! Also, many thanks to Courtney Hambright for loving the photo in the first place.

My favorite part of being a photographer is learning to see the passion and abundance that others are grateful for in their lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a photographer, and this allows me to see the spirit in others. To me, this is the essence of each photo project I embark upon. Thank you Courtney for combining my photographic vision of the beautiful spirits which Tiffany, Susan and Valerie embody, into an alluring portrait of words.

AND last but certainly not least is a huge THANK YOU (capital letters!) to one of my mentors "in the biz," Rhea Lewis. Rhea was the one who supplied the "l," "o," "v," and "e" for this photoshoot both literally and figuratively speaking. I knew how Susan was feeling when she said in the article that I made them feel "so special and beautiful" because this is exactly how I felt when I had the opportunity to be photographed by Rhea during my bridal portrait session.

Rhea has taught me so much from the business of photography to the amazing talent it takes to create a fine art baby portrait. So thank you Rhea for all of your help with this shoot and beyond! :)
