Aniyiah's Birthday Shoot was a family affair, which I loved. Everyone came to watch me scream and holler at this beautiful young lady who ROCKED her session. First of all, I want that hair. That will be my summer style for sure. Secondly, Aniyiah knew exactly what she wanted out of this session and I soooo appreciated that. Mom said that Aniyiah did a lot of research before picking me as her photographer. Mi feel cute yuh see! Thank you soooo much for trusting me with this whole thing. I'm so pleased with how the images turned out :)

Anyone who shoots on this pink backdrop immediately has my heart. Aniyiah's 16th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

Aniyiah's aunt helped with the placement of the gold flakes and butterflies. I just knew I had to shoot on brown because of all the beautiful tones in this photo. Aniyiah's complexion is so beautiful and I wanted to make sure it got its shine. Literally. Aniyiah's 16th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

Woosh. We were done shooting, but I asked for just ONE more pose. I would have gone home very disappointed with myself if I didn't do this one, and I'm happy Aniyiah and the whole crew agreed to add this to the final selection. Aniyiah's 16th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

I hope you had an amazing 16th birthday, Aniyiah!
