Sarah and Adam just welcomed a sweet baby boy to the world. Just a few short weeks ago we wandered the neighborhoods of Brasilia to capture the two of them before their lives forever changed.

I couldn’t bear not to share just one from last night’s maternity session with Sarah and Adam. A full post to follow shortly.

Dana and Chris are slated to leave Brazil in just a few months to head back to the US to continue their lives together and to get married in our sunny Florida! Both pilots and both with a great love for travel, it wasn’t hard for us to decide on this perfect location, a tiny private airport in the heart of the city, that will hold a special place for them long after they have departed Brazil. Here are just a few of my favorites:

When I was home in November, my friend Hannah and I fulfilled our plan to venture out together to take a few moments to trade maternity sessions (mine here), we are due just three days apart. This will be Hannah’s second baby boy and I am so excited for her to experience the joy of two little boys, like we have. Continents apart, Hannah and I have built a friendship after a just a few weeks of knowing each other over the collaboration of a wedding we shot together before I departed to Brazil, now we get to grow together as mamas and and share our accomplishments as photographers.

Nearly one hundred days later, the perfectly blue Brazilian skies clouded up, street lights stayed lit far into the day and eager rain drops leaked from the sky into the open arms of children and vegetation across the plateau.

It is in fact winter here in Brazil, but with all the sunshine, blue sky and slow and lazy summer afternoons of summer anywhere else in the world. Last week a favorite recent fine art photograph of mine was featured on one of my most favorite and inspiring websites www.cloud-dreaming.com. Take a visual break from your summer day and head on over to check it out.
