My sister from another mother!  Our children attended the same school while we resided in New York.  I don’t recall how or when we clicked but, I’m elated we did.  Sharon me loves you!!





Every now and again I get the urge to create a “cool” hairstyle for the girls.  Well, at least my girls think the styles are cool.  Unfortunately lately, my finger tips on my right hand have been getting numb each time I braid hair.  My little chick wanted her hair done soooo badly so, I pushed myself to get halfway.  Tomorrow afternoon I’ll complete the look.  I just LOVE styles that are able to last 2-3 weeks!!  Music to my ears!

She’s sporting her very first “bang”!!  The roller couldn’t be unrolled fast enough so that she could swing her curls.

I had to post this shot.  As the shutter clicked, she shrieked!!  Apparently, a bug was crossing her path.  Mind you the bug didn’t even notice her.

Baby Annabell so enjoyed being held on her back.  This doll and mei tai travel with us EVERYWHERE!!  She’s had this doll since she was TWO and they have been inseparable since.  She even went out to dinner with us and actually sat in a highchair in the restaurant!!

Oh yeah,  she’s still eyeing the bug.

And with that Baby Annabell and my little chick say…”That’s all folks!”  I’m always looking for hair inspiration.  If you have any photos or links with cornrows for girls I’d love to see them.





Youth – Tampa, Florida Photographer

Posted on October 26, 2010

No one knows that they are young while they’re young.  Ahhh the life of youth.  As I photographed these young ladies, my great-grandmother’s words just came to mind.  She took care of my cousins and I each summer.  We always had to tell her the “latest” to keep her up-to-date so that she could be in the know.  After all we were HIP!  She’d always say in our native tongue (Haitian Kreyol) – “Ask the kids.  They KNOW everything.”  Back then I would agree with her and now I see Grand-mere Ta was making fun of us!  Memories.





My photogenic baby.  She just loves her fedora!!  She wanted her daddy to see her outfit.  Unfortunately, daddy was at work so she asked me to take her photo.
