Mali & Jimmy: Maternity

It was a beautiful day in Central Park and my cousin Mali and her husband Jimmy were in town for their baby shower and there was no way I could miss out on taking their photos. It meant so much to me to memorialize this chapter in their lives, more so because its a true blessing. This baby has no idea how long a journey it's been for both their parents and how much struggle their love has endured but he is finally going to make his appearance and we can't wait!! Mali & Jimmy, thank you so very much for letting me capture such an amazing moment in your lives. Come mid summer we will all have the opportunity to meet your Angel and we can't wait! 2012-05-19_003 2012-05-19_001 2012-05-23_011 2012-05-19_006 2012-05-23_002 2012-05-23_025 2012-05-23_029 2012-05-23_031 2012-05-23_003 2012-05-23_034 2012-05-23_005 2012-05-23_043 2012-05-23_004 2012-05-23_046 2012-05-23_051 2012-05-23_052 I love you already baby Jojo!

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico - Part 1

My husband and I just returned from what was one of the most beautiful tropical vacations ever, Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I had never been to Mexico before with the exception of Tijuana when I was 16 with my parents for one day. I was skeptical at first because of all the horrible news with tourists missing or being killed (drama queen) but my dear friend Jade who travels there often, convinced me that I would be perfectly safe...lol. Feeling excited kicked in full speed!!

We truly had a blast and are now planning a return trip for next summer with the family! Here are some photos.

Jade & Shane, excited to be on a plane to Mexico! Who wouldn't be ;-) 2012-05-07_001 Such a perfect welcome DSC00311 Our Platinum Suite 2012-05-07_056 2012-05-07_058 Yep, I'd say he was feeling relaxed the moment we got there...lol 2012-05-07_061 2012-05-07_062 A few days later, we took a cab into town: 2012-05-07_009 2012-05-07_012 2012-05-07_010 2012-05-07_015 2012-05-07_004 2012-05-07_005 We stopped by a Shell store where they sold shell candles and hanging lights. Awesome stuff. I was able to capture this one photo because they owner shook his head no when I took out the camera...:-( I will try to find the website. 2012-05-07_003 DSC00400 2012-05-07_067 Part 2 will come on tomorrow!
