Alyssa wanted to do it BIG for her 30th birthday. As she should! Patricia did this beautiful balloon garland for her, and it went beautifully with her gray dress.

Alyssa asked her mother to not look at her so she could bust this move haha.

Alyssa's next two outfits were floral and colorful, so we moved to the white wall and took some simple but super-cute portraits. It was at this moment when I realized that Alyssa reminds me a lot of my friend, Karien. They make the same faces and they're equally as sassy haha.

What I've noticed is that clients tend to get a lot more comfortable at the 45-minute mark. Alyssa was feeling herself, hunty. As she should! And I LOVE the fact that I was able to capture her being herself. Alyssa's 30th Birthday ShootFlushing, Queens

Fun fact: The balloons were not originally red. Thank you, Photoshop :) Alyssa's 30th Birthday ShootFlushing, Queens

I hope this photo shoot was everything you envisioned, Alyssa!
