May 22, 2007time is flying by…i am serious!. i can remember when jayden could only open one eye (i nicked named him popeye!) and now he’s able to hold himself up!
i felt sad taking his pictures because when shandrea placed him on the bench he was able (to my surprise) to lift himself up. i felt like i had missed out on something…a part of his life. whenever i placed him on his stomach he could not lift his head up and he always fidgeted a lot!
i love just b/w pictures or split-tone images so here are my favorite 3 month pictures…
…shandrea really prefers color pictures so i guess i have to place some up

summer time
May 22, 2007well i know its been a long time since i have posted so hopefully you’ll forgive me!
it’s amazing to see young kids grow up! i honestly can remember them when they were clinging to their mom for life and now they are so independent! i always wanted to give their parents a gift to show them how much i care about them so I finally got around to having a session with them (although its about 2 years late!)
Vested Fashion
May 21, 2007If you were around in the early 1990’s – chances are you have noticed that the menswear vest is making a comeback. And if done right it is a super hot look. However, just because vests are making a comeback does not necessarily mean you need to pull your vest out from the late 80’s / early 90’s and wear it today. The vest have been updated slightly. Also known as cropped vests, it creates a very tailored and polished look – which I am a fan of. I don’t believe that everyone can pull this trend off – because you literally have to do it right in order for it to look good or you will run the risk of looking a hot mess! The key to taking the vest from boring menswear to trendy, feminine look is wearing the cropped vest similar to a corset. So the first tip of the day is to make sure the vest fits you well. Not too tight ladies – or we will see all the wonderful rolls you weren’t trying to show.  Â
The second tip is what to pair it with. My absolute favorite – a pair of dark washed jeans (skinny or bootcut).  Or if you are into the wide-legged jeans, the cropped vest goes well with this look.  Pairing the vest with a pencil knee length skirt is very chic. But the most important decision is what top to wear underneath the vest – if you dare to wear a top underneath it at all.  Wearing a vest alone with a pair of jeans can be worn as a daytime look or transform into an evening look by adding your favorite heels.                        
                      
 The most popular way the cropped vest is worn is layered with a button down top and the top is generally longer than the vest. This look can be worn with jeans, trousers or pencil skirt. It creates a very tailored and polished look.

 Another suggestion is wearing a t-shirt or tank top underneath – and that look should be worn with jeans – however I AIN’T mad at you if you rock some killer heels with this look.   It creates a more causal, yet pulled together look.   Â
                                  
                     
I don’t believe the cropped vest is for everyone – but if you can pull it off it will transform your outfit to a chic, might I say urban, polished look. One fashion no-no – please leave the ties at home Ladies.  One menswear in your outfit is enough!

Until next time…………………………..S!Â
