Tonnesen Holiday Shoot

I traveled to the Tampa for a holiday session with my old friend, Laci Tonnesen (Barringon) and her husband and little boy, Noah. Noah is one, which can be a tricky age to photograph. Kids at this age can be shy around strangers and they're fairly unpredictable. You could say, they run the show. Mom had the brillant idea of letting me give Noah one of his favorite giraffe blankets when I arrived. He could hardly believe two of these wonderful treasures existed in the world. He became a fan of me in no time :) I had a ton of fun with their shoot, Noah was a blast and Mom and Dad got a workout they weren't expecting! Noah loves to be naked, so we did some adorable shots in the buff while he danced to the bullfrog song. He was a laugh a minute! Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot as well as their final holiday card.

Scudder Holiday Session

I did a holiday session with Kirk, Cara and Purdy Scudder in November, it was their 2nd holiday session with me. I LOVE repeat customers! Purdy might be one of the most well behaved dogs I have ever known, she is such a model! This year we shot at Petsmart, downtown Ocala and at Tuscawilla Park, a big day for a pretty little puppy dog and a momma-to-be (Cara, not Purdy!). Cara is positively luminous, must be that pregnant glow, although she's naturally gorgeous anyway :) We all had a great time with the shoot and got some great images, a few of my favorites below as well as their final holiday card.

Purdy being ever so patient while mom and dad get their photo taken
