American, Baby! Sessions

The American, Baby! Mini Sessions 2012

This sweet family came to visit me at Colerain Beach for their family session. I love this location because there of the private beach and the the lovely colors. Trees surround this private beach, which offers lots of shade during the hot summer. It was such a pleasure to see the White Family again. Enjoy the sneak peeks.

The Davis Family

I had the privilege this past Saturday evening to photograph the Davis Family. We met up and drove to this great secluded location. We had the whole lot to ourselves except for a few kids fishing on the next dock over. It was so peaceful out there. This is the sweetest family. They've always made me feel welcome. We casually talked about our day and about our children. The little ones were so good. How gorgeous are they! They have the most beautiful eyes. We played with some bubbles and ran around in the grass for a bit. I absolutely loved the patriotic colors they chose to wear. They even brought flags. It was a perfect choice for this time of year. Thank you Davis Family for sharing this time with me. I am so thankful for you. I hope you enjoy your images; I surely enjoyed taking them!

The Rounsavall Family!

This family session was taken on a perfect South Florida evening. The Rounsavall Family is so precious. I love hanging out with them. There is no shortness of laughter whenever I'm with them. Terri is an old friend of mine way back to elementary school. Lots of fun memories. I feel so blessed to be able to keep in touch with Terri. To see the way God has used her is such an encouragement to me. It is crazy how time flies. The kids have gotten so big since last I saw them. They are a gorgeous family full of gifts that I know the Lord will use for His glory. I had so much fun with you guys. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Little Carlos {7 days new}

Hello. I am just now settling down to the computer to post my last session. Monday morning I spent a good part of the day with Little Carlos. He is a beautiful baby boy with dark thick hair that already parts to one side...{giggle}. He was such a sweetie. He was awake and asleep all at just the right times. I was able to snap some snuggly sleeping pics and some wide eyed ones too. I really enjoyed spending time with this family. They have such a warm welcoming home.
I was so tickled to see Ashley's maternity pictures around the house too. It means so much to me when my client-friends enjoy the images from our session together. You can see her maternity session here.
Thank you M Family for inviting me to be a part of this sweet and beautiful time in your lives. Congratulations! Carlos is a beautiful blessing. Enjoy every moment.

Two Families!

I had the privilege to photograph two beautiful families on Sunday afternoon. The hostess had decorated her backyard to the hilt. It was a winter wonderland, complete with a kiddie house and a tree house. I loved it! They were so welcoming and made me feel right at home. We captured some sweet moments and some funny ones too. Here is a little sneak peek.
I am so thankful that God keeps opening the door for me and my family to meet new people and to reunite with old friends. My heart is full.

Who is ready for Fall?

Hello All! I am SO looking forward to Fall. Those of you who know me well, know that I go a little overboard {maybe/maybe not} with my home decor around the holidays. This is a domestication credit that I'd like to give to my mom. {APPLAUSE!} She taught me everything I know about making a house a warm cozy home that looks lovely and lived in all at the same time.

Why Fall is my favorite time of year:
pumpkins
autumn colors
cooler weather
fall leaves
Pumpkin Spice Latte @ Starbucks
fall baking
ripe red apples
the smell of the fresh air
AND football!

I will be posting a Fall Session Special very soon that will be good through October. So if you're looking to update your family photo this is the time to do it. Among many other things, I have LOTS of Fall Photo Props. *See photo above* Family, Couples, Siblings, Children, Babies, Newborns, Maternity...I'd love to hear from you.

Reese is 5!

Happy 5th Birthday Reese! This weekend was so beautiful at the river. The sun was shining. The wind was blowing. The kids were running around on the sand, splashing in the water, laughing with each other. Even the adults were found jumping off the pier with their kids hand in hand. The details of a little girl's Mermaid themed birthday party complete with a Barbie Mermaid cake...it was perfect. I had so much fun meeting friends and family of the White Family. What a great group of people. Hope you enjoy the highlights.

Mom & Dad

 So, these two beautiful people are my parents. AND this is what 35 years, 6 children, and 2 grand-children looks like on a couple. My parents are the best. Their love, help, and support for me and my family has been amazing. I am so thankful to have such caring and giving parents. I had to take a few snaps of them before I left South Florida. My favorite place, besides the beach, to shoot in this location is the local country club. That's where we decided to do the mini-shoot. They were doing such a great job of posing I didn't have to direct them much, but I did have to remind them that their daughter was the one taking the pictures. Ha. Ha. Silly kids! Love you both. Mucho. xoxo.

60th Anniversary

I LOVE this couple! My grandparents have always been a big part of my life. The legacy of our family's faith and the foundation of family traditions all started there with them. I am so honored to have had the blessing of capturing this beautiful milestone, their 60th Wedding Anniversary. The joy that fills my heart to see my grandparents with my children is indescribable. Thank you Lord for blessing me with grandparents who love You and know You and share Your Love with those they encounter. God, You are so good! Grandma & Papa, I love you!
