Pretty mama to be! {shawna everett photography}

This is itsy bitsy Linh and her husband ! They are expecting 

a baby boy in July and I was really excited to

meet them at Gemini Springs for their pregnancy shoot

this past weekend. It was a little hot out, but once we got into 

the Orlando Magic clothing, things got more relaxed

and fun. I think she's just about the cutest pregnant

mama ever, don't you? !

Valentines day cousins! {shawna everett photography} {Gemini Springs}

It was a beautiful day at Gemini Springs on Saturday, Valentines day!

These are four of the cutest valentines ever. 

Check out the girls striped outfits from Etsy.  I love it when clients 

put things together with thought !  It really does make such a 

difference in family shoots. These kids did really wonderful. 

They were great listeners and really did help to make the shoot

easy, fun and a great success. I can't wait to start editing the rest!

Thanks to Shannon and Brooke for asking me to do them !

Eli will be a big brother… {shawna everett photography}

Elijah is so lucky! He will be a big brother very soon. 

I can tell he will be an excellent help to mommy and he

will be a very good big brother to his new lil' brother!

Elijah did great during our shoot. He had a lot of fun

painting mommy's belly and running around in the park.

He is a great little guy and one of the sweetest I know. 

Now, lets bring on one more adorable Baldillo baby...

I can't wait to meet Kelley and Eric's next little guy!

One lucky baby. {Deland Pregnancy photography}

Mandy and Josh are getting ready for their 

fourth arrival! Yes, fourth... and I have to say

that is one lucky baby. This baby will be born into one 

of Florida's prettiest families. He or She will have the cutest

siblings on earth,  therefore genetically guaranteeing their own cuteness. 

He or She will have one very beautiful and patient mom who 

is so excited to have one more baby. He or She will have loads

of fun and memories playing with and learning about all 

their big brother and sisters. And I'm lucky too, because

I get to do a whole bunch more shoots with this incredible

and happy-go-lucky family! Starting with: this pregnancy shoot!

See you guys again real soon. :))

Sweet and Sleepy baby Joseph… {Debary Newborn Photography}

I said, "after 14 years of photographing newborns, 

 Joseph was in the top five of all time." They laughed and said

 "you probably say that about all the babies"…

but no, they don't know. Joseph was a STAR! A true gem to 

photograph today! I absolutely couldn't wait to share these.

Not every baby allows you to move them all around, easily

settling back into position again and again. I loved spending time

with him today. I will always have a very soft place in my heart

for babies like him who shine and make my job

so much easier. A huge thanks to Danielle and Joey

for coming to share their beautiful bundle of joy

with me today. It was a pleasure!

Sunset at the Dog Beach {pregnancy photos NSB}

Awe, these dogs were sweethearts.  Ava and Tyson got a 

special trip to the dog beach to pose with mommy who is

expecting her own puppy in four weeks! They did great

and more importantly, Danielle was sparkling with a 

gorgeous baby bump. I had a fantastic time traveling down to 

New Smyrna beach to capture a very special time in 

Danielle and Joey's life. I'm so happy I got to do it! 

Thank you guys, you were terrific! I really look forward 

to meeting Mr. Joeseph Anthony when he makes his

debut!  More photos to come in a few days...

I see Love {Pregnancy Special Sessions}

Well we'll roll down dirty old windows
And sing with our eyes closed
Belt out the high notes
And we'll go down to the beach where the wind blows
And we'll throw off our old clothes
And we'll dance with our eyes closed

Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to achieve a new direction, to step onto a different path. Although the following photos may or may not express that to you, they do to me.  It's no secret that I've been ready to try something new for awhile. After years of outside "park" shoots, I decided to step into the studio (a very new location for me) and try my hand at something I put together myself, something I felt I put a little more creativity and thought in to. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did making them. The girls were incredible to work with, and they were all so kind and responsive to my ideas.

Ashley, Heavenly and Jessica. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your pregnant bodies are truly
beautiful and I hope you feel beautiful in the photos. Enjoy this short and precious time and know not every woman gets to carry life into the world within their own body. Appreciate it. Thank you all for being a part of the shoot. Also, a BIG shout out and thank you to Dave Hansen for use of his studio and Nichole Robins-Bowling for an awesome job with hair and makeup.

If anyone reading this would like a similar shoot, please contact me. I'm excited to collaborate with anyone. Your shoot will include a fine art canvas for your home. To always remember this time.
