Ok, so I didn’t find out first hand that my friend Yasmine was with child, but that’s what Facebook is for. I didn’t hesitate to call, and ask her and Shaun to allow me the honor of doing a maternity shoot with them. I’ve known Yaz for a few years now, and adding her character to that of Shaun’s I knew that the session would be awesome. And I’m happy to say that they didn’t disappoint me.

When I showed up at their door the first thing Shaun said after greeting me was “Let me introduce you to Syrus.” He swung open the door, and there he was, chiling on the couch like he owned it, this horse that Yaz, and Shaun seem to think is actually a dog. Shaun called him over, and after getting the seal of approval from Sy, I was introduced to Poopie. Shaun warned me that this was key because she “Poopie” could get Sy worked up, and I really didn’t want to worry about getting trampled by this massive, horse sized dog with the cool name. Only after these introductions did I get to see Yasmine and “baby in waiting” Brooke.

The vibe these two people give off is infectious, and we had a great time. I do admit, I laughed a lot at the site of Yasmine with child. To see her actually slowed down “a little” and recalling a post she put in facebook where she quoted a phrase from a book; that having a baby is the equivalent of shitting a watermelon, kept me laughing at her expense. Watermelons aside, Brooke is in for an awesome life with Shaun and Yaz for parents. I congratulate my friends, and wish them Peace and Blessings.

So enjoy these preview images of a life that’s just beginning. Make sure you check back in a few months for Brooke’s next photo session. And if you’re looking for an event planner to transform your dreams into reality look no further….. Yaz is the genius behind POP! Event Planning. What she can do to a venue….. OUCH!!!!
