Portraits by NGB: Enza, Melissa & Alex

This morning, I woke up at 5:15am and just had a good feeling about the session I was to have with Enza and her beautiful children....But I had no idea what a blessing it would be to meet those two. From start to finish, they had me laughing and let me tell you, Alex is a true Comedian. I told his mother that she better watch out because he is made for the stage. And then there was gorgeous Melissa. A singer by passion, she truly made the camera happy, happy, happy. Now their mother Enza is a firecracker and let me tell you, her HOT heels were so fun to capture. I simply enjoyed a session where everyone was ready for photos whether they were in the mood or not, you will see for yourself that they did a wonderful job in front of the camera. So without any further delay, let me introduce you to Enza, Melissa, and Alex. Enjoy!

Portraits by NGB: Baby Ellie is 1!

So it's official. Just when I think I have met the cutest baby in the world, I get the priviledge of meeting yet another one. Ellie was simply put, a precious little girl. She is half-Nigerian and half-Korean which is a beautiful and unique mix as you can see from her adorable face. Turning one is very BIG in her mother's Korean culture and I tell you, the tradition that I was introduced to called "Doljabi" was definitely entertaining. A fun game that is played on a baby's first birthday to determine her future. How it's played: 6 items are put in front of a child, and depending on which one the child picks, this will be her future career. The 6 items in Ellie's case were: a stethoscope (if picked, she'll be a doctor), a $20 bill (if picked, she'll be wealthy), a microphone (if picked, she'll be a singer), a pencil (if picked, she'll be a scolar), yarn (if picked, she'll be a designer), and last but not least, a ball (if picked, she'll be an athlete). Well, our dear Ellie picked two items simultaneously which just happened to be the microphone (as you'll see, in her sneak peek, she loves the microphone), and the $20 bill. It was great fun. And so without any further suspense, I would like to introduce you to Baby Ellie.
