I love spontaneous photoshoots! When we went to grab a dinner one night, we were told that the wait list is 45 minutes 
. But… the sky cleared up from the rain and I saw this pretty field behind the buildings… And so we decided to snap some photos! Oksana is gorgeous as usual!

You might not remember this gorgeous girl, but she is one of the first few friends who trusted me to take her photographs in those early days of learning my new camera. I remember taking her Belly Love pictures under the rain and also her little boy newborn pictures once he was born. She was one of those friends who encouraged me to continue learning and taking pictures no matter what! She is stunning and fun and just so kind! I loved taking her pictures once again! :)These are just few of my faves! Enjoy!

I love love. When I see two people in love it just makes me happy. And especially when they are my friends AND I get a chance to photograph them!!!! On Monday we spontaneously set up a photoshoot in Downtown Cincinnati ( THANKS to long weekend!!!!) and got some amazing photographs! I know they both are dying to see some shots, so I decided to post this teaser here! Aren’t they ONE HOT looking couple????
Enjoy!
The other day when I was photographing Aubrie at the Loveland Park- I run into a Fairy! Ok ok, The Fairy is actually her mom! :))) Christine- she is SO gorgeous! I had such a hard time picking out just a few of my favorites! Enjoy!
I confess- I have been keeping something so very magical and special from you guys! About a month ago I had a chance to capture some amazing photographs of three girls running loose! It was as much fun as it was challenging at times. Good thing I had moms : Amy and Elena, helping me. We’ve spent good three hours on one of my friend’s parents property! They’ve got such a pretty land and we only had a chance to discover some parts of it! Another friend let us borrow baby ducklings- but those pictures are going to be part II, or even III- I haven’t decided yet- as there are just SO many cute pictures and I want to show them ALL!!!! :))) I am going to hide all the pictures in this post and in order to see them all you will need to do is click on the title of this blog post- but be aware- there are REALLY a lot of them and it will take a while to load them all. I can promise though it is well worth the wait! :) Special Thanks goes to Ryan’s Parents for letting us run around their property and Julie for borrowing us her baby ducklings and also to moms for being willing to chase me and kids around! I feel like we got some really special pictures that day!
First, she was just a friend of a friend, someone I knew little about besides that “she is so much fun, you’d love her, Leeka!” :)) Well, I did fall in love with her the second I got to hang out with her! She is gorgeous, smart, strong and so beautiful inside out! It was my privilege to snap some photos of her and her daughter while we enjoyed surprisingly for the beginning of April sunny day in Newport KY! I am naturally drawn to beautiful smart people, as a photographer I always see that as an opportunity to “show” them how truly beautiful they are- and by “beautiful” I do not necessary mean physical beauty, much more their inner world, the way I see “them”! Americans have an expression- She is HOT! Well, in Russia we use much more meaningful expression- FLAMING! Or the one who will set you easily on fire! And believe me when I say it, Oksana got it all- and she can easily set you on fire! :)) Enjoy!!!
Even though I am super annoyed with this rain { and the fact that my tonight’s photoshoot got canceled} I am grateful that I have all this time to edit! There are so many pictures I need to finish up and share with you!
As I am giving away this teaser for what’s coming next on my blog- I can not help but smile! This girl is SO gorgeous!!!! :)))) And I got to eat sushi with her last night! 
Her beauty is UNREAL!!!! What a distinguish look!!! Way to go Oksana!!!
I love my job! I get to work with the most beautiful people! Meet one of my make up artist- Tatiana! She is SO gorgeous!!! I highly recommend her to all of my clients- she does such an awesome job! Make up always looks JUST right! Very natural yet dramatically accenting eyes and lips and evening out the skin tone!
I believe in Fairies! I found one at the park this evening as I was walking around with Gabriella… :))
OK, so joking! It was planned photosession! Christine is GORGEOUS! I had to share!
Oksana… Such a Magical Name to begin with… then you add this spicy hot personality of southern Russian girl only brunettes from former USSR can have , hazel seductive eyes and mystical smile and you’ve got Oksana that I had a chance to photograph last afternoon. But that’s not all- she is kindhearted, funny, funky, adorable, cute, sweet, playful and incredible and just such a joy to be around! She makes me wanna perm my hair and go brunette!!!! She wears red lipstick with such a pride and style, I am jealous!!! She eats ice cream like nobody’s business and laughs a lot especially when people are asking us if we are doing this shoot for a magazine cover….I HAD to show her off! :)))
I will show more later!
