Kennedy's back! {Downtown Sanford Holiday shoot}

Kennedy has just returned from a sojourn in the Great 

Pacific Northwest!  I was so happy to see her again. 

Kennedy is one of the most expressionistic children 

I've ever been around.  I almost titled this post, 

"The many faces of Kennedy"

She's really busy and super sweet. I know she keeps

mommy and daddy on their toes all the time.  I loved

seeing the Schaber family again. Thank you so 

much for coming out for a Holiday shoot!

The Hunter Family

This was my first time meeting the Hunter family, 

and we had such a nice, easy shoot in Downtown

Sanford. It's obvious Avery loves her little brother,
Miles, very much and he responded with lots of smiles. 

The weather was perfect, and Avery could

not have done a better job at her photo shoot. She's

calm, mannerly and composed…just the way I like em!

A big thank you to Julie and Mike for making the

trip to Sanford for your Holiday photos. I hope

they will provide sweet memories for years to come...

Boys on the Run!

Oh Ms. Julie (soon to be "Mrs!") has her hands full with two small

boys who are SO cute , and SO full of energy! They have

such cute personalities and are full of life. As I imagined,

it was difficult getting them to sit still for photos. However, I

think we captured this time just as it should be: funny, comical,

active, busy, and above all, happy and healthy. 

Thank you to Julie and Kory for coming out for a

Holiday Mini-shoot! I can't wait to create a card that illustrates

this time in your life! It goes so fast. 

Thanks again !!

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!

Downtown Sanford with the NOLES

This awesome Florida State Seminole 

Fan Family are good friends, neighbors 

and great fun to shoot. We visited downtown Sanford

this year for their Holiday Shoot and they

came in their Florida State Best! I loved the

themed shoot and want them to know that

I applied to Florida State but chose University

of New Mexico because they didn't force

the extra math credits on me. LOL. Ok, this

is getting off subject! Big thanks to the Garner

Family for allowing me to photograph your 

beautiful boys!

Handsome boys!

The Schwartz family rocked their shoot

this year with a combo of black and hot pink !

(my favorite!)

We had a great shoot in Downtown Sanford, 

beat the rain and the kids did fantastic too!

I guess that happens when you are 7 and 12.

Big thanks to Lorrie, Steve, Tyler and Dylan

for choosing me for your portraits, and for

making my job so easy!

Dodged the rain for the Shillings gang!

It's been a little over a year since I've caught up with 

this family, and I was so happy to re-unite with

this adorable crew. One of them, I'd like to 

take right home with me....but I'll let you guess

which one!  We had a great time in Downtown 

Sanford and the kids did amazingly well. We were 

lucky enough to dodge the rain this week, and even 

got a couple shots with some nice sunlight.

The kids were so playful and yet, still followed

directions too. Thank you Sandra for bringing

the kids down to Sanford to make some memories!

Beautiful girl...

This little one has the sweetest face and the most 

amazing skin and hair color!  

I just knew she would shine in photos, and that's 

why I have been wanting to photograph

her. Well, Ms. McLane missed her nap on the day of

photos, and she was not entirely excited about her big

photo shoot. However, we still managed to capture some

really cute shots, maybe even a family photo....

It's perfectly fine because now I get to see her again 

real soon for the second half of her shoot! Yay!

Thank you to Nikki and Walter for your 

interest and also for making the trip to see me!

Mr. Handsome

 Ok Folks, 

I think these photos speak a thousand words..

Maybe more? Rylan is an adorable, All-American

boy for sure! He is full of personality and spunk.

I have known Rylan since he was in mom's belly, and

I've really loved photographing him as he has grown.

Thank you to Brooke and Rylan for coming 

for a Holiday shoot ! It was a hoot!

Merry Christmas!

Lilly is ready for Christmas!

If this doesn't get you into the Holiday Spirit,

nothing will... Sweet Lilly sporting her Christmas

best! We did her holiday portraits in downtown

Sanford this year, and she did so well. She is cute 

as a button, and I bet her sister-on-the-way will

be too! Thank you to Jessica and Ryan for meeting

me once again! Love you guys!!!

Three's a Charm

These three are just the cutest! 

(and I must mention again, so well-behaved!)

We had an adventurous time in downtown

Sanford for this Holiday shoot.  Between 

dodging the rain and a fast-moving little boy, it

was a fun and spirited shoot! We captured alot

of beautiful posed family photos (which you won't 

see here...don't want to ruin the surprise) and also

the best candids.  Thank you to Lisa and Vince for

bringing your angels to me once again!

The Gillmore's are growing up !

 These two beautiful kids have been with me since

Brody was a newborn! I think he's 8 years old now.

This is the sweetest family and I always enjoy 

seeing them in the fall. Riley is a budding gymnast and

Brody is an energetic and happy boy! I have a feeling he

and Archer would get along superbly!

Thank you to Molly and Joey for coming for a shoot...

2011 !
