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

{ Passenger,  Lyrics to:   I SEE LOVE }

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.

The sun shines on Rosemarie… {pregnancy photos}

I was delighted to meet another one of Dr. Lopez's

patients (he was my ob/gyn), Rosemarie! She was the

sweetest thing ever, and is so excited about becoming

a mom. We had quite an eventful day, weather-wise. 

In the end, it ended up being pure magic. Sometimes when

you take a risk and decide to shoot despite it being cloudy or rainy,

the sun will come out and surprise you at the very end. That is 

exactly what happened to me and Rosemarie. 

It really was a wonderful moment, the sun coming out just 

for her, it seemed, at the very end. Shining through all the mist 

and fog. She is a beautiful lady, and she deserved it.

Thank you for coming, Rosemarie!

Pregnancy shoot at Gemini Springs

This is Kim, and she has an awesome pregnant belly.

I was very happy to capture this friend-of-a-friend this

week, right before it got cold and grey. You might remember 

Tuesday evening...

It was a warm, lovely evening and perfect for a shoot.

The stars were aligned for Kim, because the next day it

turned into this! (look out your window, lol)

Kim is expecting a girl, and the great news is, I get

to meet her too, and photograph her ! So happy!

You all KNOW how much I adore girls. 

A big thank you to Esther for treating Kim to a 

special shoot to remember, and also to Kim

for coming out so I could meet you!

The Varano's 60th Anniversary {Winter Park family portraits}

Charles and I had the pleasure of photographing the most amazing
family this past weekend ! Mr & Mrs Varano celebrated their 60th

wedding anniversary. Their daughter Mary, asked me to

photograph the couple and the extended family before their

dinner celebration. John was one of the warmest people I've ever met. 

The love radiating out from him was immeasurable... for his wife

and his children. How blessed they are as a family. How lucky were we

to witness a beautiful union of 60 years. I cannot thank Mary and the 

Varano children enough, for welcoming us into your home,

and for allowing us to capture such a wonderful family.

Baby Wesley on the way! {pregnancy photography}

McLane will have a sister soon, and I'm super excited 

to meet her ! If she's anywhere near as cute as big

sister ( and I'm quite sure that's a guarantee…) I will

have a lot of photo work in the future! Wesley Rose

is coming very soon, and when she does, you'll have

a lovely newborn post to view. For now, we'll focus

on her beautiful mother and family. I'm so happy we *finally* 

(thank you weather) got to do this shoot, and I

thank Nikki and Walter again for their time and patience

as we re-worked plans several times. 

See you guys soon! 

XOXO

Introducing handsome Kaeden Harper… {newborn photography}

Kaeden is a bit related to me through marriage…. I'm thinking!

Yes, we'll just say he is. His mommy is my sister in law's, sister.

(who, by the way, is one of the sweetest people I've ever known!) 

Meet Kaeden Harper!  A definite beautiful boy. I was so

excited to meet him and he did just wonderfully at his 

shoot, despite the cold weather. He had a lot of expression, and

I caught him grinning more than once during the shoot.

A happy boy. He loves his mommy and boy, does she love him!

I'm so happy you came to visit, Kaeden. I can't wait to see how cute

you are in 6 months! Kali, thanks for making the trip.

Can't wait to see you guys again.

HUGS!

Ms. Beautiful… {shawna everett photography}

Today I met a beautiful baby girl! Her name is Kami and 

she made it through her first photo shoot with only a few 

small bumps along the way. It was cold and she is tiny. 

I'm sure she's happy to be back in mama's nice warm arms now. 

She is just precious, blond and perfect skin. Beautiful lips..

I love baby girls and this one is no exception. I  hope I get

to see her again in the future. Thank you to Laura and Brian

for braving the cold weather and long drive to have her photos

taken. Loved meeting you both…
