The Gunn Family

Tell me this isn't one handsome family! 

The Gunn family from my neighborhood met

me at Gemini Springs this weekend for a short and sweet

family session. (so easy when you don't have toddlers)

It went so fast I hardly remember it! LOL

Anyway, they look great in their shades of blue, 

and Ms. Margie did a fantastic job of outfitting

all her boys for a family portrait! Well done !

Thanks so much for meeting me guys, and 

your slideshow will be up soon!

Home Made SuperHero's !

I have a lot of lofty goals this year: getting in shape,

eating better, being more creative, starting classes for mom's

who want to learn how to use their DSLR's...the list goes on.

But another of my goals is to be more creative with

my business. With my photography.

I want to start what's known as "concept shoots." 

They are shoots that may take a little more planning on my end, but

the results are a more creative as well. My goal is to do one per

month this year. I hope the concept idea spills over into my 

children's photography. Specifically, that parents will come

to me sometimes with an idea, and we will work together to 

create a shoot that is UNIQUE, special and that could not ever 

 be easily re-produced. Time to step it up a notch!

So here is my first go! The idea, inspired by the many kids

(six seen here) who play with Preston on a daily

basis. A big Thank You to little Gavin. Even though he has

no idea....his cool Florida State cape (made all by himself)

was the spark that fueled my interest in this shoot. 

I'd love your feedback!!

Baby Mikey!

I was so happy to meet this sweet Baby.

{Baby Mikey}

He had a scary little start, but is doing fabulous now!

I'm so happy for Susan and Michael, and his shoot

yesterday was so special and fun. He never cried, not even

once... What a special boy! A huge thanks to Susan and 

Michael for making such a long drive to capture

your son's new-ness. I will be editing all of these

and will be back in touch soon!

Kylie {Senior portraiture} Debary, FL

I'm so lucky I get to meet such super-sweet

Seniors. The girls I meet are often so polite, nice 

and seem so adorable, (and innocent) that I often wonder if I was 

EVER like that ?!? Especially in my Senior year of

high school?  Well, Kylie was no exception 

and we had a great time doing her Senior shoot at

Gemini and the RR Tracks. 

(and her mom was amazing as well!)

She was beautiful and very natural in front of the camera.

(as you'll see in the photos!) Thanks so much for

coming Kylie and Cathy, it was wonderful to meet

you both!

The Smith Family

What a great way to end my season!

These kids are just about the cutest thing

to come out of Winter Park. Super sweet Hayley,

 Elliot and their parents came to see me

at Gemini Springs this weekend.

The weather was perfect and the kids

were too! A big thanks to Denise and Rob

for finding me and allowing me to photograph

your family!

Baby Ezra is here!

Baby Ezra gave us a little run for our money,

but when he was calm and happy he was so perfect!

He is a beautiful boy, and his parents are so happy 

and in love with him. I just love seeing first time

parents. It brings back such fond memories for

me each and every time. As my children grow up

(too fast!) I get to visit with newborns almost 

weekly, and that is so special for me. Especially

when they are like Ezra! 

Thank you to Ezra Sr. and Laura for allowing me

to capture this special time for you.

Ryan's first shoot!

Ok, So I'm not going to lie. When we started this 

family shoot at Gemini, I was a bit worried. Ryan

was a little camera shy, (ok, a lot camera shy!) and

had just woken from a nap. (double whammy)

But, isn't it funny how things turn out. As he warmed

up and woke up, he did fantastic! He gave me some of 

the best candid shots EVER! Thank you Ryan!

I think we captured all of Ryan's amazing

 and very funny personality. I'm quite sure the 

Stehli family will have a super Christmas card this year!

Thank you to all of you for coming out to 

Gemini and for choosing me to do your

Holiday photos!
