These are just the cutest kids....

 

Honestly, these are just the cutest kids on planet

earth. AND they don't seem to mind doing photos, 

which is just a huge bonus! I have so much fun with

them, especially Ms. Madison, who smiled more than she did

anything else! Big sister Madelynn is a little party- all unto herself!

She's happy and funny and skips around. And then, Jayden, well, 

he's just a great boy, with a fantastic smile. 

All I can say is:

If they were all like this......(fill in the blank!)

Thanks Guys for coming to see me again !

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!)

Kennedy is almost ONE!

Sweet Ms. Kennedy Ann came to see me this weekend and 

she was all decked out in polka-dots and colorful stripes. 

SO CUTE! I loved seeing her again. She gives so much 

expression and personality. She had a practice performance

with her first birthday cake too. I will save the details, but for

all those who will witness her birthday cake smash, I think

she's warmed up and ready for action now. Thank you to Joey

and Katie for brining her. I really enjoy knowing this little one!

The Most Beautiful

Victoria has always been my favorite to

photograph. She's beautiful on the inside, and out!

As a bonus, she also photographs incredibly. Her brother

is a regular in our lives, as he is friends with both of my

boys. He is the nicest, sweetest kid on the block....just ask

anyone, they'll agree! Victoria and Gabe are getting ready for

a move back to California, and I just had to have a shoot with

them before they go. We will miss them very much. I decided

to do something a bit special for Victoria, so I had her makeup 

done at the MAC counter, and I made her a custom headpiece.

Doesn't she just look so beautiful?  Thank you to all three...

Derick, Gabriel and Victoria for allowing me the

opportunity!  

Sweet Olivia

Olivia came to see me for her first 

year photos, and she was all smiles!

I think she really had fun being a star

for the hour! It was great to see

this sweetheart, I can't believe it's been a year

already! Her mom is the most awesome 

hairdresser EVER...and if you'd like to schedule with her, 

she works at THE MIX in Deland.

Ask for Lauren. 

**Thanks Lauren, for the superb cut and color

ENJOY your photos!!

Michael and Olivia

Nothing like a little sweet brother-sister love!

These two have it.....(well, at least in front of me!)

Olivia and Michael came on a somewhat rainy Saturday to

see me for their yearly shoot. We dodged most of the rain,

 had a lot of fun and did lots of different things together. 

They did exceptionally AWESOME for their ages,

 and we got some great shots.

Olivia has the most kissable cheeks ever, and Michael

is turning into a handsome young man!! It was a pleasure

seeing them again. Thank you to Katie and Michael for coming

to see me this year!

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.
