Sweetest Adelaide {big sister!}

I was so happy to catch up with this family!

Absolutely precious, this Adelaide turned out to be...

She will be a big sister very soon. We had

a great shoot at the park despite cloudy skies.

I can't wait to meet little brother, who's making his debut

shortly at the birth center in Sanford. Thank you to 

the beautiful Christy and Luke for sharing your belly moments

with me!

Fun at Gemini { Shawna Everett Photography}

Once a year, I get to catch up with all my lovely

families that I have the honor of shooting. This year is no

different, and I'm jam-packed until December with 

families. The Kelton family is a great way to start.

 With these two beauties… it's a sweet start

to a great season. I take that back…. I mean THREE

beauties! Thank you Erin and Mike for meeting me

at the park this year!

The Tribe of Five! {Debary family photographer}

So happy I got to meet up with the L family boys again.

It's been a couple of years, but those piercing blue eyes

came swiftly back to my memory when I visited with them

again over the weekend at Gemini Springs.

What a handsome tribe of five this lucky momma

has, and they are all amazingly well-behaved too.

How did she do that? If she gives lessons, I may

take her up on that opportunity. Thank you Lisa

for shooting with me this year. It was great to 

see you all again!

Cute curls at the park. {Shawna Everett Photography}

I made a new friend today and she is so sweet!

She's really cute and has a head full of brown curls. 

Her name is Keira and I fully enjoyed my time

with her and her mom and dad out at Gemini yesterday.

I learned she doesn't like hats too much, but she does like

Teddy bears and Minnie Mouse.

The weather held out for us and we had a good shoot

in the evening. Still hot and muggy, but Keira did

great overall. Thanks so much for coming so far, guys!

I enjoyed meeting you and really hope we can make

it a yearly event! 

Shillings at Sunset {shawna everett photography}

                                  Yes! I took one of my all-time favorite families to my new 

location in Deland. So excited to use this space this fall and also to 

share this beautiful family with you. These kids are growing

up so fast. They are so gorgeous, I could just photograph

them all day. We had a bit of a surprise when "my" field 

was mowed down to mere inches, so we adjusted and shot 

across the way. I just hope I'm able to use this spot

as time goes on, because the sun comes in so perfectly

 there. Thanks to Ron, Sandra, Andrew, Noah and Isabelle

for sweating it out with me this summer!

One lucky baby. {Deland Pregnancy photography}

Mandy and Josh are getting ready for their 

fourth arrival! Yes, fourth... and I have to say

that is one lucky baby. This baby will be born into one 

of Florida's prettiest families. He or She will have the cutest

siblings on earth,  therefore genetically guaranteeing their own cuteness. 

He or She will have one very beautiful and patient mom who 

is so excited to have one more baby. He or She will have loads

of fun and memories playing with and learning about all 

their big brother and sisters. And I'm lucky too, because

I get to do a whole bunch more shoots with this incredible

and happy-go-lucky family! Starting with: this pregnancy shoot!

See you guys again real soon. :))

Sweet and Sleepy baby Joseph… {Debary Newborn Photography}

I said, "after 14 years of photographing newborns, 

 Joseph was in the top five of all time." They laughed and said

 "you probably say that about all the babies"…

but no, they don't know. Joseph was a STAR! A true gem to 

photograph today! I absolutely couldn't wait to share these.

Not every baby allows you to move them all around, easily

settling back into position again and again. I loved spending time

with him today. I will always have a very soft place in my heart

for babies like him who shine and make my job

so much easier. A huge thanks to Danielle and Joey

for coming to share their beautiful bundle of joy

with me today. It was a pleasure!

Baby Andrew {Debary newborn photography}

I had the pleasure of shooting with the Krause family today 

and their beautiful new addition, Andrew. What a handsome

little man. His big sister  Hailey, was 100% on board with helping

out in any way she could. Very cool sister! We had a bit of a 

bumpy time with sweet baby Andrew, but I think we pulled it

off.  Hailey was exceptional and really was patient and kind.

I enjoyed this shoot as I do every newborn shoot. They are all

different, but all amazing ! Big thanks to John and Kelly

for coming a long way for a special shoot!

On Location at Stetson with the Brouhard's {Deland Photography}

Well…who knows, maybe someday this will be where Gavin

attends college. We shot at Stetson University with Nicole,

Jerome and Gavin this year, and I think he fit right in!

He was so cute with his tie and plaid! Of course, mom did a 

great job of color coordinating and keeping her boys

handsome. I absolutely love seeing this trio every year.

They are one of my favorites! Thank guys, for coming all

the way over to see me in Deland! 

I'll be back in touch with you

soon. 

Pink and Turquoise

Reese and Gavin showed up in one of my favorite

color combos this fall...Pink and Turquoise !

They did superb at their downtown Sanford Holiday

shoot. Cheered on by three adoring fans...(myself, my mother 

and their mother) I think they have completely gotten

the hang of this photo-shoot thing. I'm happy to say

I think they know me now! And I couldn't be happier

to watch them get a little bigger and cuter every time

I see them.  Thanks to Maria for bringing them again!

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!

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!
