HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes, I’m a few days late but the year is still NEW. New number, new month, new day. Of course I have to share a few of my NEW portraits. Just in case you were wondering, I now have reddish hair, a heavier bang and of course a new lease on life. It has been a roller coaster 2011 year. A year of blessings, great friends, great health and of course a few hiccups here and there that I rather not mention. Let bygones be bygones as they say. I’m LOOKING forward to an exciting year with amazing weddings & portraits, great health once more and opportunities galore!! I can’t wait to see what’s in store.

My hair isn’t really THIS red. If you fear red hair, please.. I’m quite normal in person. I laugh, hahhaha like this. My daughter Cat imitates me to a ‘T’. I can’t help but laugh back. My eyes are really closed.

My Hair is up… a lot. Having to do 1,000,000 things and running after an almost walking baby, a bun is my ‘go to’ style.

I LOVE.LOVE.LOVE my new lace top. When I first saw it at ANTHROPOLOGIE.com I was in love! I love lace, no surprise but this is understated, sexy yet modest and great for almost all occasions. My skirt is ‘old’! Simple, short, pencil black skirt. No brainer. Great with anything and always in style. My belt is glittery gold from JCREW.com. Gold is IN this season and I just love it. I’ve paired it with jackets, sweaters and dresses.

Of course, I have to mention my MAKEOVER with Jemma Merrified Gayheart. She used plum shades along with some browns to accentuate my deep brown eyes. I loved it!! I’m a strong proponent of GREAT professional makeup. It goes a LOOONG way when it comes to a photo shoot or event. For me, when I look good, I FEEEL good. 

Remember my laugh? Hahhahaha.. it really is funny.
