Elijah turns ONE!






This boy is a super cutie...
Such a sweet personality. Elijah turned one recently, 
and we did a shoot to celebrate this milestone. 
It was a little chilly at the park, but once we got him 
warmed up he loved playing with his basketball. 
I think we just might have a future NBA star here
 because he was crazy over this ball! 
I had a great time seeing Elijah again, and I hope
to see him every year for his birthday.
Thank you to Kelly and Eric for bringing Elijah
for such a special shoot!

Welcoming number three !






There are some little girls that I just see and 
immediately know they will be photogenic in front
of the camera. Madeline is one of those
girls!  Now... this post is supposed to be about her mommy
and how this family is getting ready to welcome a
new baby into their lives, so I'll get to that in a second.
But for now let me say, Ms. Madeline, you stole my heart with 
your sweet face and big blue eyes, and I hope I get to photograph
you again some day! Big brother Jaden did AMAZING during our
shoot, and I think he was hands-down the best 6 yr old boy ever!
To the rest of the Hampson family, thank you so much for
coming out to Gemini Springs for a pregnancy/family shoot.
I can't wait to meet baby number three!

Holiday Spirit





This family looks like they are ready for the
Holidays! (and they helped to put me in the Holiday spirit too!)
My lovely friend Renee, and her family
came to see me this year at my new location,
Green Springs. We had a fine shoot, despite battling
enormous mosquitos! They grow them very large there at
Green Springs...
I love seeing these BEAUTIFUL girls every year,
and they just get prettier every time I see them. (all three) Amazing.
Eight years we've been together now.... I love you guys!
Thanks for a great shoot...

Baby Christian {Mr. Smiley!}





I was so lucky to meet baby Christian
this week! He was so perfect and he smiled all
through his sleeping time. He was just PRECIOUS!
We had a wonderful shoot and his parents
are so happy and proud! 
I couldn't have asked for a better shoot myself.
Thank you to Maria and Christian for making
the trip to see me, and for allowing me to capture
this special time for you!

Gingham Cuteness Supreme




Sorry but I couldn't resist that silly title for
this blog post! Joshua and Ashlynn are SO cute!
They did so well for our park shoot yesterday and we
were lucky enough to dodge the rain! 
Ms. Ashlynn has the bluest eyes I've ever seen
and she can smile with them too! Josh is, as always
a perfect gentleman during our shoot and gives me
sweet gentle smiles. Thank you to Erin and Tom for 
bringing your beautiful family to the park for this
year's shoot!

The Vratanina Family





This is such a beautiful family... and I was the lucky
one to get to take photographs at the beach with them!
Thank you to Lisa and Jeff for allowing me to capture
some beautiful moments with you on New Smyrna Beach.
This family was so involved and dedicated to doing 
whatever it may have been (and how many number of times!)
to get a good photo! I think together we did it...
There are supermodel powers at work in this family ! 
Now I'm off to view and edit the rest.
Thanks Again!!

The Havlykke Family!








I was one of the lucky few to be present at Aya's
birth...and now I'm even luckier to see her grow into
an ADORABLE sweet toddler.
What a lucky mom and dad she has! We took Aya
to the beach for her one year/Holiday photos.
She did wonderful there in the sand (and wind!)
We captured some beautiful family shots as well. I'm so 
excited to go edit the rest. Thank you to Tova and Chris
for meeting me at the beach..!

Hailey Marie!








Ok Folks, so this is her....
after 12 years of photography, the easiest and most happy,
 smiley,  two year old on the planet comes to see me! 
I photographed Hailey as a newborn  and she was lovely then. 
Today, she is a complete joy and little sweetheart. 
I think I took 600 photos of her in an hour. (and I could've kept going!)
 I can't wait to edit the rest. Thank you to John and Kelly for 
bringing me your beautiful daughter again. She is truly a blessing!
Thank you for sharing! :)

Jennings at the park !








Meet the most hilarious family ever...
So much FUN! Oh how I love it when everyone
is into it....(even DAD) and that rarely happens!
In a nutshell we had a great time doing family
photos at the park for the Jennings Family. We also
did some casual senior photos for Blake, who will be
graduating next year and going into the Army.
I'm so happy to have another great family to look forward to shooting.
Hopefully, we will have a long history together!
A big Thank you to Jennifer, Shannon, Blake (aka. "Shane")
and Emily, for coming out to Gemini Springs for your shoot!
And Happy 20th Anniversary to Jennifer and Shannon!
Off to edit the rest....:)

Sweet Madison







Now here's a tiny precious gem for you...
weighing in at 6 pounds 9 oz, I'd like to introduce
you to Ms. Madison. She is so cute, and one of
the tiniest little babies I've had here in a while.
(compared to last week's nine pounder!)
She did fantastic during her first shoot
and mommy and daddy were so proud. 
She has a ton of love surrounding her
 and is so happy to be here.
Thank you to Shelley and Justin for sharing
your bundle of love with me!

Bodie on the Beach!




The cutest thing on two feet...Mr. Bodie is.
Who wouldn't fall in love with bright blue eyes 
and dark hair? Love it. It wasn't exactly a sunny day
at the beach, but Bodie was still very curious
about birds and happy to cruise along, eating some
sand along the way! This will be the first part of two shoots
for him. Next time we are hoping for sunnier skies. 
Huge thanks to Jennifer and Jason for sticking it
out with me at New Smyrna!

Zoey arrives!





                                          I was so excited to hear that Zoey had finally made
her debut!  Boy was she worth waiting for! 
At NINE pounds, she is a super-beauty!
Her mom and dad (and grandma) are so in love
and they have been blessed with a very happy
 baby girl. She did fantastic during our shoot and
she even gave us some really relaxed and happy smiles
 right at the end. I think she smiles more than
any one week old I've ever met!
Thank you for sharing your precious daughter with
me Emily and Toby!

Meeting Khloe






I was so lucky to meet Khloe and her family
this week. She is a nine-day old baby doll, and
she is so loved by everyone around her. 
She has two older brothers and one older sister. 
She will be well-protected and have someone
to play with! Khloe did great during our shoot
and she really was pooped at the end when we got the 
best shot of all....so typical of my baby friends!
A big Thank you to the Diaz family for 
choosing me to capture this special time in Khloe's
life!

Ezra is almost ONE!






I was so happy to  meet up with little Ezra again and
his super-sweet mommy, Crystal. What a cute boy she has!
Ezra came so he can have some special photos for his 
first birthday which is coming up real soon. 
even though he missed his nap, he did an excellent
job at maintaining his composure! LOL!
Ezra, I hope to see you again throughout the
years, your sure to grow up into a wonderful
little boy! Thanks for coming!
