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!!! 

The Quigley Family

Just a quick sneak-peek before I head off to vacation!

This family was just so nice, I had to post their beautiful

faces for you all to see before I left.  Meet the Quigley

family. Their son Jacob, was about the most gracious and

sweet eleven year old I've ever met. (no, I am not exaggerating!)

Someone, please, tell me my sons are this polite!

**Maybe Rhonda and John would consider a work study position 

for my boys to allow some of those manners rub off on them? 

Well anyway, it certainly a pleasure photographing this family,

and we had such beautiful weather out at the Springs.

Thank you both very much for coming, and I'll post the

rest when I return!

The Falco Family

What a treat...to photograph such a 

B.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.  family who also

shares a love for photography!  The Falco

family came ready for their fall portraits

which we did at Wilson Landing park in 

Lake Mary. The kids were amazing, so well

behaved, and made it through a lengthy shoot

just fine. The park was great (I'll be going there again)

and to share it with such a fun family was the

cherry on top. A BIG thank you to every member

of the Falco family....you guys were fantastic!

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!

The kids of Wargo & Connor !

My yearly visit with the Wargo and Connor kids

was terrific in Downtown Sanford this week.

They did so well and boy how much easier my

job is once the kids grow up a bit! I love toddlers

for their purely candid moments, but I love

older kids because no tears are shed! Thank you to

Wendy and Julie for making your annual shoot

with me. I might need to have a blog dedicated just

to you guys very soon!

Beautifully pregnant...

I've been getting so lucky lately, meeting the most

beautiful pregnant women and the men that love them.

I had the pleasure of photographing Christy and Luke 

yesterday who are getting ready to welcome their

 first baby into the world. Their Shepherd Sammie, is

sure to watch over this baby with love as well. 

They have a beautiful home on the water 

and it was a very creative place to shoot. I'm 

starting to get the hang of these "at-home" shoots.

I had a great time, and definitely look forward to meeting

their bundle of joy. A big thank you to 

Christy and Luke for allowing me to capture 

this special time.

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!

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 !
