Giovanni is on his way!

I really enjoyed meeting Jenny and Dan !
We had so much fun at our shoot, and 
even though it was rainy and very cold 
outside, we still got some great shots inside.
Baby Giovanni is going to be a very lucky 
boy....I can tell these two are so excited
to meet him and they are going to be 
wonderful, loving, parents!
Thank you so much for coming,
and I cannot wait to meet him!

Magic Moments with Elliot

Elliot was such a cool baby for 8 weeks
old ! He was definitely ahead of his time. He had
some cranky moments, but then would just 
sit extremely still and do exactly what I wanted
him to. It was almost magical !
He was an awesome baby. 
(not to mention, really cute , too!)
A big thank you to Michelle and Adam
for bringing me their sweet little baby boy to 
photograph.

Sweet Emily {Photography, Lake Mary,FL}

It's been a year since I've seen little Emily
and she is growing up to be so beautiful !
(All I can hope is that someday maybe she'll
be interested my Preston.)
It was a pretty cold afternoon, but Emily
hung in there like a trooper and we ended
up with some beautiful shots.
Thank you to Alicia and Travis for seeing
me again this fall.  It was my pleasure!

Fun with the Ricchi's { Central Florida Fine Art Photography}

Any shoot with three children aged 7 and under
is unexpected and candid. This year with the Ricchi
family was no exception. I love photographing this 
family because they are always beautifully
dressed and  the kids are a lot of fun.
A special thanks to Chatt (dad), who helped make their
close-up's extra special. And a big thanks to
Wendy (mom) for having another shoot with me this fall!






{Carter, on the move!} | fine art photography, Debary

Well, Carter is growing up ! It seems like
just a couple of months ago, I photographed
him in mommy's belly. Now he likes to walk 
his dog, and best buddy, Luna. He also is
quite the momma's boy, as I found out 
yesterday. Carter has the brightest, bluest
eyes around, and I sure did enjoy
photographing them, yesterday.
Thanks to Sarah and Jonathan for
coming to the park for photos!

{ A Beach Evening } | artistic beach photography

It's so fun to catch up with old friends and do 
a beach shoot... especially when they have
cute little boys in tow! Meet the Brouhard, 
Hetherton and Lichtle families...
We had fun running after these boys on
New Smyrna Beach on Sunday. It was a
gorgeous day out there and I want to 
thank all of them again for coming !

Fun with the boys | Debary Family Photography

Sweet Kigen | Newborn Photography

Meet sweet baby Kigen.
He did very well at his first photo shoot!
A big thank you to Tammi and her
mom for bringing him up to see me. It 
was a long drive and I know it's hard with 
a new one. Kigen looked right into the
camera on some shots, and that's really
impressive for a ten week old!

She had no idea....

I couldn't wait to blog about the most exciting shoot ever! Kory and Julie are expecting a baby next week... and he contacted me with a secret. He wanted to propose during our shoot ! I was so happy to take part in this happy, magic moment. Together we planned our strategy, and I had some friends help to decorate the secret spot.

All went perfect, and even the afternoon rain held off....barely! Congratulations to Julie and Kory. I'm so excited and happy for you THREE!

Pajama Fun




I have to say, nothing gets me happier
about doing a shoot than a family
who wants to have fun and take candid
photos! It makes it so easy !
Meet the Deyo Family.
They were so cute in their cloud
pajamas. The kids did very well
and we got so many cute shots.
Thank you to Julie and Fred for your
donation to the Alora Foundation,
which led you to the shoot today!

The Mullins Family



It's always nice to see friends for shoots.
And this one is no exception...
Mr. Noah is quite the little cutie.
What a fantastic smile !
He did great for a two and a half
yr old. That is always a challenging
time, but he make it pretty easy today!
Thanks to Michelle and Brandon
for coming again this year!

A Candid Capture




Every year I look forward to photographing
the Connor and Wargo kids. But lets face it, getting
a good photo of four kids is never an easy task.
Two is easier, One is a piece of cake.
This year I thought we captured a really
cute one of all four.
A special thank you to Easton this year,
as he really gave us some amazing
candid photos!
And of course, thank you to the Connor
and Wargo parents for coming for another
year of fun!!

Brotherly Love





As a mother of two boys myself,
I know how hard doing a photo shoot can be.
Meet Walker and Chase.
Two great names for two great boys!
These two did fantastic. They were candid
and fun, and yet stood still when I asked them to.
A big thank you to Minnie ad Scott for doing Holiday
photos with me this year. I hope we captured
some special moments!

Smooth Sailing



After a very cold and windy weekend, and
after cancelling shoots, I was a bit nervous
to shoot the R family at our Rural
location ! But all went well, and the kids
did terrific! Beautiful kids and just a super sweet
family overall. After playing around at the
RR tracks (and not getting caught....I guess
it's a little bit against the law) we went to my
favorite tumble-down shack for more family
portraits. Thanks to Tommy and April for
coming for photos this year!

Tyler & Dylan




Tyler and Dylan are our neighbors and
friends. I enjoy photographing them each
year, and it's always fun seeing how
much bigger and better they get each fall!
This year, it was Riley's time to shine!
(that's the slobbery one in the middle)
She photographs really well, and was a
very good girl on the docks despite
being distracted by boats and people.
Thank you to Lorrie for once again
allowing me to photograph her boys!

Just the cutest



Hannah and Landon are great examples
of kids that just photograph great!
They did lots of funny things and had
terrific expressions the whole time.
I really enjoyed meeting this bunch and
hope to see them again next year.
A big thank you to Lisa and Andy for
bringing such CUTE kids my way!

Meeting Max



There is nothing like the love between
siblings. Surely, these sisters have
enjoyed getting to know their new brother,
MAX
What a cutie! I couldn't wait to meet this
little guy after photographing Lisa a month ago.
Elle and Sophia are two of the most well-behaved
and beautiful girls I've ever met, and Max is
sure to fit in just fine. I enjoyed meeting you,
Max. Come again, soon!

Keeping up with Joshua






It's been a while since I chased around
a fifteen-month old ! It was fun! You burn
many more calories doing a shoot with a
child this age, than you do with a newborn.
I'm sure his mom would agree. Either way,
shooting Joshua was great fun, and the photos
show how fun and spirited he is. Kudos to
Erin, his mom, for bringing such great
outfits and the sock monkey. They made candid
photos easy to capture. And thank you for
bringing Joshua for a shoot, he was a joy
to photograph !

Pure Magic



Meet Hailey Marie.
She receives the award for most
amazing baby that I've ever photographed.
Seriously folks, this was pure magic.
Babies never sleep for an entire two hour
shoot, nor do they usually let you arrange
their arms and legs the whole time. We got
every shot we wanted and without any fuss.
She was just the sweetest thing ever.
(and so beautiful too)
A BIG round of applause for....
Hailey!
And a big thank you to Kelly and
John for bringing her today!
