February 14, 2010 officially rang in the Chinese New Year – and ushered in the year of the Tiger.  Legend has it that Buddha summoned  the animals to meet him.  Twelve animals listened to his call and he named a year after each animal. Buddha proclaimed that a person born in that year would bear that animal’s personality.  Tigers are natural born leaders.  They are authoritative, courageous, emotional and intense.

As the Celebration comes to end, I want to wish everyone a very prosperous, healthy but most of all happy 4708!

It is always special to spend time with a family that loves one another so completely.  I had the pleasure to photograph these two sweet little angels along with their parents and a close family friend.  The time that I spent with them FLEW by – I could have photographed them all day.  Big Brother and Baby Sis were DAZZLING and won my heart as soon as I met them.  Warning:  To all future suitors of sister or brother BEWARE!!  These two will take care of each other for an eternity!!

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.

Sometimes the simplest of treasures lights up a child’s eyes.  And sometimes the simplest things in life can make a grown-up remember that feeling.  This little girl warmed my heart and helped me remember the wonder in little treasures.
