“Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
My irreplaceable you
Just to look at you
My heart grows tipsy in me
You and you alone

Bring out the gypsy in me

I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don’t be naughty baby
Come to me
Come to me do
My sweet embraceable you

I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don’t be naughty baby
Come to me
Come to me do
My sweet embraceable you”

GEORGE & IRA GERSHWIN

every wedding is different…insdie & out….remember not
to sweat the small stuff…the wind may be blowing hard &
messing up your hair…but in my point of view it is the wind
or the rain, or whatever is happening on your wedding day
that makes it so memorable & beautiful…happy weekend

is so beautiful…kiss the one you love…xoxo

in remembrance of ETTA JAMES
& her beautiful sultry voice…xoxo

“At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last”

ETTA JAMES

in a world full of deadlines…errands….to do lists…images…options…emails…and so on…sometimes i find that less is indeed more…a single feather…a smile from the one you love…your son resting silently in your arms…these are the littles things i long for…wishing everyone peace & love…xoxo

& lots of less

some people, some images, some moments transcend beauty….

this series of boudoir are the most intimate & special images i have ever made…
my lovely friend  is a stunning woman….graceful…kind…at ease with herself….

inside & out…she has long lovely limbs & beautiful hands….

there is a sweetness that lingers everywhere she is….

she lounges & crosses her legs with ease….toned by running & life….

the beautiful lingerie and yet not as beautiful…

as what lay beneath the surface…..

life & love & inspiration & motherhood & intimacy & laughter

the sweet underneath

in honor of women everywhere…xoxo
