Connor = Soon to be ONE! {Debary children's photography}

 

Mr. Connor is on the run....and he's almost ONE!

We had a fast n' furious shoot at Gemini on Saturday

trying to beat the rain....which we did, but only by mere seconds.

He's a smily, happy, curious "all-boy" boy! He reminds

me of my first-born son a lot. Connor loved seeing all the

balloons, so I'm sure he'll have a great time at his party. 

Thank you to Lindsey and Ian for coming from Tampa

and congratulations to Connor on his first birthday!

Baby Ezra is here!

Baby Ezra gave us a little run for our money,

but when he was calm and happy he was so perfect!

He is a beautiful boy, and his parents are so happy 

and in love with him. I just love seeing first time

parents. It brings back such fond memories for

me each and every time. As my children grow up

(too fast!) I get to visit with newborns almost 

weekly, and that is so special for me. Especially

when they are like Ezra! 

Thank you to Ezra Sr. and Laura for allowing me

to capture this special time for you.

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!

Storm and the Fam

Well, this was Storm's year! 

What started out as a shoot that was not going to 

focus so much on the dog...

Well, let's just say he kind of STOLE the show!

He was so sweet...and because he's getting up there

in the years, I'm very happy we had this Holiday 

shoot with him. The Gillmore family loves

him so much. It's nice to see a dog so loved and

well taken care of. Thank you to everyone

 for helping with Storm, and I hope you

guys have a fabulous Christmas.

Thanks Again!

The Douglas Family

The Douglas family visited me this fall 

for a holiday shoot out on the RR Tracks.

We had a great shoot, and little Liam is not

so little anymore! What a cute little man he is 

and he looked very dapper in his newsboy hat!

And of course Ms. Emily was a huge help and 

a perfect lady during her shoot. I love this family,

and love watching these beautiful kids grow up!

Thank you to Alicia and Travis

 for visiting again!

Gingham Cuteness Supreme

Sorry but I couldn't resist that silly title for

this blog post! Joshua and Ashlynn are SO cute!

They did so well for our park shoot yesterday and we

were lucky enough to dodge the rain! 

Ms. Ashlynn has the bluest eyes I've ever seen

and she can smile with them too! Josh is, as always

a perfect gentleman during our shoot and gives me

sweet gentle smiles. Thank you to Erin and Tom for 

bringing your beautiful family to the park for this

year's shoot!

The Vratanina Family

This is such a beautiful family... and I was the lucky

one to get to take photographs at the beach with them!

Thank you to Lisa and Jeff for allowing me to capture

some beautiful moments with you on New Smyrna Beach.

This family was so involved and dedicated to doing 

whatever it may have been (and how many number of times!)

to get a good photo! I think together we did it...

There are supermodel powers at work in this family ! 

Now I'm off to view and edit the rest.

Thanks Again!!

Hailey Marie!

Ok Folks, so this is her....

after 12 years of photography, the easiest and most happy,

 smiley,  two year old on the planet comes to see me! 

I photographed Hailey as a newborn  and she was lovely then. 

Today, she is a complete joy and little sweetheart. 

I think I took 600 photos of her in an hour. (and I could've kept going!)

 I can't wait to edit the rest. Thank you to John and Kelly for 

bringing me your beautiful daughter again. She is truly a blessing!

Thank you for sharing! :)  

Sweet Rosalie

This is sweet Rosalie. She is on the move

now and having a ton of fun. We moved around quite 

a bit and caught her doing some real cute

things. She is a doll. She just celebrated her first

birthday in August. This is sure to be an exciting

year for Rosalie. Cute name for a very cute girl!

Thanks to Cindy for bringing her out and

showing me all her cuteness!

Togetherness

I had the most amazing time on Saturday night...

I got to photograph a family celebrating the time they've

spent in their beautiful Winter Park home. It was so nice

to meet the Domaingue Family and their two children.

The kids were so involved with the shoot and were

so easy to work with. This was an interesting shoot for me, 

as I wanted to approach it in a more photo-journalistic

style. I think I accomplished what I set out to do! 

A BIG thank you to the whole

Domaingue family for being so kind, friendly and 

full of great ideas.  I really enjoyed meeting 

all of you!

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!

Gumbo and Co.

I had the pleasure of photographing a sweet family and

their super playful dog named Gumbo yesterday.

They were gorgeous and he was so cute! 

(not cuter than their kids though ! )

I'd like to thank the Enright family for enduring the

summer's heat with me to capture some photos. 

It was really hot out there yesterday and the kids

did great considering the heat and gnats! 

I really hope we got some shots that you'll love

and thank you again for coming!

Seven Beautiful Grandsons

Before meeting the Lessard troop, I thought

my mom had a lot of grandsons! {5} These lucky 

grandparents have even more. The amazing thing is 

they are each gorgeous and very well behaved.

I had a very easy and fun time doing their portraits

at Gemini Springs. So a big thank you to all the boys

for making this so enjoyable for me, and to Lisa

and Susan... thank you for coming 

and enjoy your photos!

A time to remember {Shreveport, LA}

Our family recently traveled to Shreveport, LA for a 

very special memorial. While we were there we visited

with many relatives, some of whom we had never met.

The kids had a blast playing with all kinds of cousins/second

cousins in their age group. The kids ranged in age from 

"still in belly" to 15!  Well, as you know it wouldn't have been

a complete trip for me without some photos of all those beautiful kids!

So enjoy looking at these gorgeous faces. (and to all the moms....

don't worry, there are many more to edit and order for you!)

This is just a little Sneak-Peek

Love you guys......Shawna
