Sweet 16!!

This was one of the most funnest shoots I've ever styled and shot.
I've hand crafted and made all the flowers, and hearts, and all the lovely pastries were done by my assistant Regina. theUniqueorn is on its way to expanding its services and I will soon be revealing what my dear friend Liana (inspired by Liana work) and I, have been working on.

Meet Tanya: She is actually not 16 but soon to be 18. She is a very sweet girl, and is super smart. I have known her since she was about 10 years old. I remember her as a little kid and it is so beautiful to see her blossom as a young lady. Her love for God at such a young age is so inspiring, and beautiful. I want to praise her for being such a trooper at the shoot since she was still recovering from a slight surgery and also on top of that she was fighting some sort of a flu.
I am so happy to have had the chance to capture this sweet miss.
I love you Tanya.

Met her on a plane

Oh boy do I have a bazillion stories from my life.
But I particularly like this one:
I met Inna in Washington D.C. after we have landed a plane from Portland.
She was going to Florida and I was going to Israel.
Her brother Roman, who I happened to know from my teen years, sat rich next to me on the plane. Without realizing it was him, I was minding my own business in my seat and then we both recognized each other and started talking. After we got off the plane he introduced me to his sister (pictures below) and his brother and we all had a tasty lunch together. Inna and I stayed in touch, and after I got back from Israel we decided to have a photoshoot. And I am so happy to have met her and be able to capture her beauty and her adorable shy personality.
