I applaud the wonderful work the organization is doing for girls in the local community. I have heard that raising kids these days is not getting any easier and just look around, kids have so many negative influences waiting for them as soon as they set foot out the door, it is great to know that there is another place outside of the home where girls can learn more about how valued they are and also bond with like minded company.

Every year around Mothers’ Day, Adeola and her team of like minded inspirational women of faith put together a breakfast event where mothers and daughters can just take time out to bond over breakfast, while listening to dynamic guest speakers.

There were the special ‘mother-daughter” portraits of the girls and their moms among other games and activities. It was an event packed full of fun, inspiration, and a lot of love. I am so proud of Adeola’s vision in putting this together every year, working tirelessly behind the scenes! You can tell she is just rewarded by seeing the girls grow and mature to the leaders and gems they were really born to be.

This year I am going back. It is on the 4th of May so if you or anyone you know are in the DC/VA/MD area with a daughter between ages 11 and 18, go register for this year’s event here. The theme this year is “Stand Out”. Need I say more. I cannot wait to attend again this year!

Graduate was surprised with a beautiful prom dress! Go girl!

In the meantime keep calm and view a few snippets from the event.

Baby D is coming soon to the blog!

Get a load of that cuteness to tide you over till I blog her story. First we will start with mom’s maternity shoot and then see more of squishy love chug of cuteness that is Dani!! Can’t wait

Decided to put a certain spin on this one – something of a transit/travel theme, mixed up with Caroline and John’s wedding theme of Old Hollywood/1940s glam!  And it proved to be a smash hit! Awesome job guys! Caroline styled herself and John with John’s valuable input of course. Love them!

Caroline explained to me how beloved Central Park is to them given the many fun memories they’ve had there over the years. I’m thinking, ‘err location – no brainer!’ lol. From the river to the bridge to the castle we had such a fun day full of laughs, John was such a fun guy and sweet Caroline, as you can see, was and is a doll! Together they brought it all to the shoot! Thanks guys! Love you both and many congratulations! PS: Thanks for the ride!

Blogging in 2 parts so stay tuned for part deux…

Caroline, rrrrr

off we skip to find the ever elusive Belvedere Castle…

almost there, folks…

yaay victory at last!

Ife is one of my beloved brides from a couple years past. Well as of today she and her hubby are enjoying cuddles with their little one. Ife and Billy y’all never disappoint! Happy New Year and congrats on the little one who of course Aunty Yinka just cannot wait to meet!

Congrats to her lovely proud parents – thanks guys for granting me the priviledge documenting her first few moments of life!

Isn’t she lovely?

So I am at the Brooklyn Bridge Park often enough, at least I think I am but I was so pleasantly surprised that they had a love padlock lockdown! I saw these on Bridges in Rome, Florence and Paris and thought it was a European thing but apparently the tourists have exported it to the BK. Love it!

Get it Ericka!
