The Clisby Family and me ! {New Symrna Beach}

Yay for new friends and new experiences!

I was so happy to photograph my new friend and her

sweet family. We had a great shoot and went out for margaritas

afterwards. What's better than that? Their son did fantastic

and gave us some fabulous smiles. The weather was perfect

and we had a great time. Thank you to Kristine and Jason

for allowing me to take your Holiday Photos! Next, we'll

design a spectacular card for you!

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.

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 !

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!

(shoots are only done in the evenings and require a travel fee)

Having cake and eating it too ! {Happy Birthday Mikey!} New Symrna Beach Photography

Meet Mikey! (Amelia's brother!) He turned the 

big  O-N-E  this month!  We went to New Symrna

Beach for a beach birthday shoot. It doesn't get more

fun than this! Having a beach shoot and getting

your birthday cake too. Considering it was a bit

blustery out there, Mikey did incredibly well. He never

cried or got upset one time. I loved planning this shoot

with Susan, and I'm so glad our winter weather gave us

one day to shoot at the beach when it was at least 

above 60 degrees. (but not by much!) Thank you 

again, as always to Susan and Mikey for making the

beach trip.

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 !

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!

The Forde family at the beach... {New Smryna Beach photography}

If this family doesn't make you feel like

doing a beach shoot, none will! These boys had

a great time running, jumping and splashing on the 

beach. I loved catching up with the Forde family again,

the last time I saw them Malachi was a newborn. 

What a perfectly beautiful evening on the beach we had.

The wind was minimal, the light: sublime, and the 

family.....well....they speak for themselves !

Gorgeous!

Thank you to Dawn and Eric for meeting me

so far from your home for a special beach shoot.
