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!!!

Baby Emmett {Shawna Everett Photography}

I was excited to meet new baby Emmett yesterday.

He was a referral from a friend from high school. 

He did fabulous (especially towards the end) They all

do that to me! We always get the best shots in the 

last ten minutes. A big thank you to Stacey and Steven

for coming out to meet me and allowing me to photograph

your precious son!

The Hurley Family {Mount Dora Family Photos}

It's not often we get such a perfectly gorgeous evening

for a photo shoot, and in a perfect location. The weather was

beautiful last night, and the kids were well-behaved too! (Lol) It

was an honor to do a family shoot with Beth, Bryan and their

children. We had fun and I'm happy to say with five boys, 

we got plenty of candid shots. Everyone laughed and had a good time.

Beth is a friend of mine from high school, and I just love seeing 

people doing so well and happy this many years later!

Thank you so much for having me, and I hope to see you all

again soon!

The Curls! {Debary Photography}

I saw this beautiful baby girl being born, and it's is 

amazing to see her grow into this gorgeous little girl.

Can you even believe those curls? Aya is just the 

sweetest thing, and she came to Gemini to see me

for Holiday photos this fall. I'm always excited to catch

up with Tova and Chris, and it's fun to see Aya each

time….a little bigger, a little curlier ! 

Thanks guys for coming to Gemini

this fall for photos!

Some of my favorite things...

These are some of my favorite things….

Or rather….some of my favorite people!

The Douglas family met me at the beach for

their Holiday photos. Emily was prancing and dancing and Liam

was…well….Liam. He was hilarious. This photo of him

in the basket is him giving us his biggest smile. He puts a lot

of effort in that, and it shows. {LOL} Love him!

I'm so happy Alicia and Travis get to experience the full

blown boy personality. I can't wait to edit more and see what

other antics (and smiles) I captured! Thanks guys for coming out to

New Symrna !

Sisters at the beach ! {Kelton family shoot}

I'm so lucky I get to meet new, happy families

each fall ! This year is no different, and this is one sweet,

happy family. The Kelton family met me in New Symrna

for their Holiday beach shoot. It was a bit windy, but the 

temperature was good and these girls did awesome. 

They are cute little sweethearts, and I really 

enjoyed my time with them. Of course, you all already

know how much I adore girls, being that I don't have one

myself! A big thank you to Erin and Mike for taking the time 

to capture some memories at the beach this fall ! I'll

be working diligently on the rest of your show...

Noah growing up !!

I'm so lucky to get to see this sweet little guy every year.

I have to say, I think he has the gentlest and most natural

smile of any five year old I've ever photographed.

Just look at that sweet expression and kind face!

Watching Noah grow up since birth has been really

special. I'm so glad his mom and dad continue to come every

year and get their Holiday photos done with me!

Thank you Michelle and Brandon!!

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 !!

Basso's at the Beach! {New Symrna Beach family photos}

It was a wonderful evening meeting with the full

Basso family out at New Smyrna last night. I loved seeing

baby Christian, what a doll ! ... and of course my very special

McLane, as pretty as ever. I really appreciated them making the drive,

as it is a long one especially with small children. Here are just a couple

of my favorites from the shoot. I'm saving all their group shots just for them....don't want to spoil any Holiday cards! Thanks again to everyone...it was a fun time, and I hope

you'll cherish your beach photos for years! 

Ford Family Shoot {New Smyrna Beach photography}

I had a lot of fun out at the beach with the Ford

 family this year ! I'm so glad they chose the beach and chose all

those delicious colors to spice it up. Lilly was happy to be dancing

around in the sand. Allison was happy to be held... (LOL)

That's ok, soon enough she'll be running with sister.

I'm especially happy that Elizabeth, John and Nikki made it too.

Nikki came all the way from Mass. for this shoot! 

So a big thanks to all, and I will be working diligently

on your photos this week!

Baby Blake

Baby Blake was a dream-baby! What a sweet little (big) guy...

He slept almost the whole shoot, and his mommy says

he's a super-sleeper. I really enjoyed meeting Lori's second

baby.  His big sister, Madison, was a great help too, and even

held baby brother and gave him a kiss. they are seriously both

beautiful babies. thank you to Diane for sharing your home and

helping to make this newborn shoot a success! 

and a big thank you to Lori too, for contacting me to do your

newborn photos.
