I first met Nana earlier this year when she tagged along to her friend's photoshoot in Queens. So thank you for the connect, Wephna!

Nana is WEARING this red dress. She told me she didn't want any of my usual birthday props, and I actually agree that all the balloons and gift props wouldn't have done this dress any justice. Good call, girl! Nana's 25th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

"Do you have a ladder?" is not a question I hear very often. Nana sent me a photo of a woman in a forest, surrounded by roses. I wasn't sure we would be able to pull it off, but looooook! Nana's 25th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

Yeah, I think we did a pretty decent job with creating our own version of that photo. Nana's 25th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

Woo hoo! She's 25 today :) Nana's 25th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

Happy birthday, Nana!
