New friends at the beach! { Shawna Everett Photography}

I'm lucky to know a lot all of my clients personally before

we shoot, and also some are good friends. Others, become good

friends as we shoot year after year. I'm so lucky!  Two shoots

at the beach this past weekend fit that description! I'm happy

to introduce this gorgeous family to my special spot

at New Symrna, and also to all of you. Everyone did

great including Mother Nature giving us some beautiful 

weather and some gorgeous skies. (ok. I might have enhanced that

last part just a bit!) Thank you to Gernelle and Dan and all

the kids for meeting me at the beach for your Holiday Shoot.

Beach Love {New Smyrna Beach Photos}

I love catching up with the Scott family! Beautiful evening at 

the beach last night and it was awesome to watch their 

kids play and run around. (and that they did!)

We also did family shots, but those will require a bit

more work, so I'll share these for now. Olivia is a little

button. I must have flagged 100 photos of just

her so far! And Michael is so handsome and 

good with his sister. There's no place

better than the beach for a shoot, and we got so lucky

last night. Great family, great smiles, and good fun!

If you would like your very own beach shoot, email me!

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! 

Strawberry Blondes on the Beach! {Hampson family beach shoot}

This has got to be one of the cutest families in Central Florida !

I know I've said that before...but really.

I just have to point out that Mandy did a STELLAR job

picking out clothing for the shoot. Do you see how there's a palette,

but how not everyone matches completely? Oh, I love it. 

It's hard to do this, you really have to have an eye for it.

I even struggle with my own family sometimes. 

Either way, what a great beach shoot, and as always

these kids are just terrific! 

Thank you all for coming out !

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!

Brent and Tara {NSB wedding vow renewal}

Tara and Brent,

(who's a decorated serviceman with the US ARMY)

had a beautiful ceremony on the beach to renew their vows

with their friends and family. The clouds were rolling in and I was

getting nervous. We got through the ceremony, photos of family 

and captured some sweet photos with their daughter.

 I then snapped one (and just one) of them together and the sky
opened up and it POURED on us!
The last photo I took is of them running off the beach in the downpour.
 Charles was my second shooter at this wedding and I have to say,
he's one of the most talented journalistic photographers I have ever seen.
He's just amazing, and I'm so happy to have him backing me up 

with fantastic shots. We both look forward to more weddings together,
so if you know someone who's looking....
Thank you to Diane for contacting me to do this ceremony
and of course a big thank you to Tara, Brent
and Payton... (for being so darn cute!)
