My buds!

Yesterday found me at this household once again for a third year in a row!  The boys are getting so big and are still just as cute as they were that first year when I photographed them.  I just adore these three little guys and I am so happy that  I continue to have the opportunity to photograph their smiling faces each year!  Check back again very soon.  I have two more sessions from this weekend to share as well as a few more that I will be doing this week!

Enjoy!

img_02351Here are some samples from my other shoot on Saturday.   The dogs were SO well  behaved.  We did torture them a little asking them constantly if they wanted a cookie or if they wanted to go on a ride but they were so great!  Their little heads would tilt to the side everytime you asked them if they wanted to go on a ride and it was SO cute and funny!  Thanks for the laughs!

Melbourne Beach

img_0400I was SO lucky this weekend to get a chance to meet up with two wonderful ladies who I went to high school with and their families.  We had such a great time running around, laughing at the dogs’ antics and just generally enjoying the gorgeous day that we had on Saturday.   I had a great time and loved the location we decided to use for our shoot.  Since I normally shoot in the Orlando area and I have not been back to Melbourne to scout things out in many years finding a spot to use required a little research and some knowledge from one of the girls.  We managed  to find the perfect spot though and everyone who has seen the pictures so far loves the rocks around the water.  So, thanks to both of you for the fun afternoon, the gorgeous pictures I can add to my collection and the chance to see each of you again!  It sure has been a long time and it is so neat to see us all grown up and with families of our own, who knew!!!  :)  I am going to post these as two seperate posts.  I was just going to do it as one but I think two is needed to ensure each family gets their proper showing!  The pictures are just too pretty to combine as one!

Enjoy!

img_9805Once again, I had the pleasure of photographing this little girl.  She is such a doll and so sweet.  This year we decided to include mom and dad in some of the shots and we ventured out to a perfect family location, the beach!  It was a gorgeous day yesterday and we were there right as the sun was setting casting off beautiful hues of pink and blue over the horizon of the breaking waves.  I love the colors in these photographs and my little friend was just as fun as always, giving me lots of laughs, some great serious shots and some gorgeous family pictures to help remember our great day! 

Enjoy!

Family

img_9533_smallI love the holidays!   Do I really need to say that?  Doesn’t just about everyone LOVE the holidays?  How can you not?  It is a time to get together and take a few moments from your everyday lives to remember the past year and to celebrate the coming of a new one, it is a time to relax and laugh with your loved ones and a time to continue traditions.  For some, myself included, one of these traditions is a lovely family portrait or annual pictures of your children so you can see how they have grown.   Sometimes we have our traditional holiday pictures taken JUST for the annual card to be sent out to all of our friends and family.  Whatever your reason for wanting those pictures now is the time to get them.   I had the joy of shooting this family for the third year in a row yesterday.  It is amazing to see how they have grown and how their family has changed over the years.  In a way I am starting my own traditions with my photography company.  I am so overwhelmed with joy to be invited back year after year to take pictures of these families, pictures that in years to come will be looked back on and cherished.  Pictures that capture just a snapshot of what their lives were like in 2009.  So please, join me in starting a new tradition for your family!  I still have some holiday availability left in late November and would love to squeeze you in.  Life is short and they do grow up quickly.  Whether you choose to have me take your family portraits or someone else it is worth having it done.  They do change so quickly and you’ll be surprised that looking back in five years you’ll still remember the day you had those pictures taken!  Enjoy my newest additions to the gallery and come back soon.  I have more to share!

3 months

I think I have mentioned before that I love babies!  One of my very favorite things to photograph are babies!  They are just so darn cute and happy, usually!  I am thrilled to share these pictures with you all though as they are some I took a few weeks ago of my newest nephew!  I had every intention of photographing him when he was just days old but life did not allow for that.  I had to not only wait three months to photograph him but to meet him as well!  I have to say that it was worth the wait and that  he was just too darn cute and EXTREMELY tolerate of Aunt Gin as I snapped away.  I am sure like all my little ones he’ll one day groan when my camera comes out but until then I plan on capturing everything I can whenever  I see him!   My little man never once frowned or shed a single tear as I changed him from position to position and added new little cute things to his surroundings.  I am thrilled with the end result!  So, thanks little man, may we have MANY more WONDERFUL, STRESS FREE shoots in the future!

Lake Lily

img_8520

This weekend I met up with these cuties at Lake Lily in Maitland for a little shoot.  We had lots of fun and we ran around the park enjoying its beauty and all the ducks!  It was fun to watch all the ducks and see all the babies.  There were many “duck families” out at the park with little babies in various stages.  I think the kids enjoyed the ducks far more than they enjoyed me but that allowed me the chance to get some great photographs of them! 

Enjoy

Here is a 20×20 story board we did of a few pictures from the shoot.  I love all the colors both in the picture and on the frame around the board!

I am currently booking for the holiday sessions.  Please email me or give me a call if you are interested in a holiday session.  I am starting to book quickly now so if you interested please let me know so we can get your family  on the schedule. 

I had the joy of shooting these three adorable boys this weekend.  To say they were well behaved is an understatement.  I am always a little nervous when I find out I will have three boys to shoot…sometimes three boys can be a handful!  But these guys were SUPER easy and totally willing to do anything I asked!  They shared their big smiles with me and were so very nice!  Thanks guys for making my job so easy this weekend! 

Hope you enjoy the samples from this shoot!

With summer comes time with family and carefree days.  I am still working but I have been remiss in updating the blog!  Please bear with me as I update with some photoshoots from the summer.  Now that the kids are back in school I am ready to buckle down and start back to working so keep checking in for updates.  The fall rush will begin soon.  I am currently booking holiday session.  If you are interested shoot me an email and we’ll set something up for you.  I will offer sessions through mid December.   Holiday cards are always fun to send out and receive but when they showcase your beautiful family you’ll be even more excited to send them!  For now here are some pictures from one of my summer sessions.  Check back soon, I promise to update more often now that my little munchkins are back in school!

My Girls

img_5199Yesterday my sweet girls decided they wanted me to take their “sister” pictures.  This was not a planned outing but I think the fact that it was their idea and not mine made them much more cooperative.   I love these shots and will treaure them for years to come, so thanks to my sweet girls for coming up with this great idea and for actually trying to let me get some good shots of them!
