Jackson's Six month at Bridle Oaks ! {Bridle Oaks Barn}

Today I got to do a shoot at Bridle Oaks! 

This little handsome fella is Jackson and he was

too cute all decked out in all his hats. This was his 

six month shoot, so I decided to try out Bridle Oaks barn

for a shoot. It was a gorgeous day with the light breeze and

warm sun coming through all the trees. I just love it out

there, and I also love seeing great friends and clients out

there with such great models! 

Thanks again to Josh and Mandy for coming out today!

(and Jackson too!)

Meet a future Olympian! {Debary photography}

So this is Alexa… and I'd like you to know there's a very 

good chance you are looking at a future gymnastics star!

I say that, not only because she's walking at 9 months old…

but because she has her mommy's feet and that means she'll

be a lot like her mommy. Kim was a friend of mine in our

tween/teen years and we went to gymnastics camp together for

many summers. (we have SOME stories!!) She was much better

than I, and actually went to college on a gymnastics scholarship. 

This is her first daughter, Alexa, and she is a beauty!! I loved

meeting her and absolutely fell in love with her smile and 

sweet spirit. Keep your eye on this one! 

Thanks for coming to Gemini guys!!!

Brouhard Family {Deland Family photos}

Every time I see a family that I only see once a year,

it is so exciting to visit and to see how big and 

mature their kids are getting. Nicole's family is no exception.

Gavin is so, so handsome and he has to be just the sweetest

little boy I've ever met.  It was such an amazing evening out

at my secret location in Deland. The sun was perfect. It was not windy,

and the temperature, although a bit warm… was nice too. I was so

happy to capture such a beautiful family. Shoots like these

are always so enjoyable. Thank you Jerome and Nicole (and Gavin!)

for coming to see me again!

Adelaide has a new brother! {Shawna Everett Photography)

I'm thrilled to introduce another gorgeous baby

from the Raymor family. What a beautiful little

boy they have had. Beckett made his way into the 

world last week at Heart to Heart birth center. 

Mommy looks like she never had a baby a week ago,

and little sister is already being a big helper!

The two German shepherds approved as well, as you 

can see from the photo below. Congratulations to

Christy and Luke on their perfect new addition!

Thank you for inviting me once again to share in

this joy! 

Drama at the Beach {Shawna Everett Photography}

Drama at the beach… with the weather that is. Oh my goodness...

We finished this shoot by the skin of out teeth! It was raining off 

and on, and poor Kelly was changing outfits in the car while I 

was trying to protect my camera. But, the good news is we finished,

and with some very cool photos (I think). Sometimes the cloudy and

stormy skies at the beach are amazing! I did enhance some

 of these skies. (but that's ok, right?)  What a pretty pregnant momma-to be…

 and daddy was very helpful too. I'm so excited to meet this little

one. Thank you for choosing me to share this very special

time in your lives, Kelly and Jonathan !

Three sweet boys at Gemini. { Shawna Everett Photography}

 

I had the pleasure of photographing a new family

this weekend at Gemini Springs.  Meet the Monette boys,

all smiles and curls! It was rather muggy and hot out 

there this weekend, after so much rain. We made it work and

the boys did great. I love welcoming more sweet 

people into the Shawna Everett Photography family. 

Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph

your family, Tara and Dan! Great to meet you all.

Sweetest Weslee Rose {Debary photography}

Oh my goodness… this is why 6-7 month old babies are

THE BEST! They are happy, smiley and full of

joy. Every last one of them. I don't think I can even

think of an exception.  {{Wait. Maybe my son. }} 

Ok, I'll save that story for another blog post. Weslee 

came to see me for her 6 month shoot and we had so 

much fun in bubbles and hats. I loved seeing her

and her pretty momma too. Thank you 

Nikki, for making the drive and choosing me

for 6 month photos...  Always love seeing all of you!!

And baby makes four… { shawna everett photography}

Again, Mandy and her sweet, sweet family came to 

Gemini for a pregnancy shoot with the kids. 

We found out some great news…. that she will 

be having "bookend boys!" YAY!!  So happy for

this family. Can't wait to meet Mr. J when he arrives. 

The kids, per usual… did awesome. We got some of

the cutest mommy/child portraits. Good family shots too.

I'll never tire of these blondies and the strawberry blond

in the middle, either!!! 

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!

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!

Sunset at the Dog Beach {pregnancy photos NSB}

Awe, these dogs were sweethearts.  Ava and Tyson got a 

special trip to the dog beach to pose with mommy who is

expecting her own puppy in four weeks! They did great

and more importantly, Danielle was sparkling with a 

gorgeous baby bump. I had a fantastic time traveling down to 

New Smyrna beach to capture a very special time in 

Danielle and Joey's life. I'm so happy I got to do it! 

Thank you guys, you were terrific! I really look forward 

to meeting Mr. Joeseph Anthony when he makes his

debut!  More photos to come in a few days...
