My Homeo: Private Party

The middle of a Sunday afternoon, about an hour and a half south of Atlanta, he and I are rolling on the freeway - rocking like we usually do. I'm fighting sleep in the passenger seat when my phone rings - my foto session has to reschedule. Ah, no biggie, I still have another. Fast forward 15 minutes or so and the next session cancels. I'm pouting now because the light is oh-so-sweet and I rented camera equipment for those sessions....that have been cancelled. He doesn't even have to look over to see the disappointment on my face...he knows it. And before the words - the one that are stuck in my throat and wrapped around a tear ball in the middle - shatter out all over the sunny day and smooth ride we are having, he says..."it will be okay, it happens sometimes".

And I don't know why when he says it, I always believe him. Whether it's the little scratch that I really thought was a laceration in need of surgery or the extra $10 to have lunch the rest of the week - "it will be okay, it happens sometimes".

That and more is why he is my homeo - my father, my dad, my Daddy O.

He so graciously took the place of my cancellations that day, and this is what happened when "it happens sometimes"......

Milena: Private Party Session

Milena is one of those people that when you see, you smile-not the "casual and friendly" smile, but the "slow and steady grin ear-to-ear and show every single tooth" smile.

She carries joy like it is the latest handbag, and will very quickly reach into her bag o' happiness and graciously share the contents, and her generosity makes you want to do the same. No lie, I tell you, she is that nice.

And she has a sweet ease about her, a comfortableness within herself. She is unabashedly bubbly, kind, and compassionate, which made for a truly good day.

It was and continues to be a pleasure, everytime I see her smile....









ain't nothin' wrong with a little silly ;)

Jaasmeen-Private Party Session

Jaasmeen = so much flippin goodness (like seriously makes you wanna do some back flips). Jaas is a wonderful muslimah, giving, talented (architect and event planner - if you have something awesome to plan, she is the person), gasping for air hilarious, very very kind, and uberawesome!

I am blessed to know her, honored to call her friend.

She and I did a private party session, which is a solo session that doesn't necessarily need a reason, hey, sometimes you just wanna party by yourself :)

And this is what happened when God's light and a cam met Jaas one sunny day........
